I’m sure this doesn’t even need to be said but trying to associate monkey pox solely with “men who have sex with men” drives me loving insane because, among other reasons, if you’re acknowledging that bisexual men can get it, then obviously it can be spread to women too, JUST LIKE loving AIDS YOU MORONS.

Seriously hope Fauci falls in an open manhole

Bisexual men can be described as "men who have sex with men"

It's popular for youth pastor types to tell teenagers that if you have sex with someone you're having sex with everyone they've ever had sex with so if you view it like that I've had sex with all of my Eskimo Brothers which means I'm basically an MSM.

In the medical setting, it's not about whether you're gay, bi, or straight. It's about who you have sex with. Some people will identify as straight but still admit to having sex with people of the same sex. So instead, it's documented as "has sex with men" or "has sex with women" or "has sex with both".

Phrasing the question that way yields more truthful / accurate answers as well.

If you get monkey pox, there's a 41% chance to spontaneously contract HIV too is what I gather from this.

yeah but that's been a heavily selected for sample, to the point that we're hearing anecdotes of people being refused treatment and even testing despite obvious symptoms if they're not engaging in MSM
the same way covid didn't infect children when we refused to test children for it.

We could just as easily decide monkeypox was a disease of the lefthanded by organizing our testing around that trait.

The testing criteria makes it such that it's almost impossible to get a test if you aren't a promiscuous gay man so of course the population of people that test positive are going to be overwhelmingly gay men.

Medical bias is frustratingly slippery, I think we're probably years away from having real data about it here. All we have now are anecdotes about people being turned away from testing and stuff like the CDC guidelines for determining a case I posted.

On first blush those guidelines seem reasonable, they say all at risk communities, but they have a baked in bias. Like if patient 0 stays at a hotel and their sheets get laundered, infecting 100 people and 3 of those were gay, but 97 aren't the CDC has just found 3 cases of monkeypox 100% of which were gay.
The other 97? Didn't meet the CDC's criteria for a likely case, since none of them had close contact with a confirmed case or person presenting symptoms, nor had they engaged in MSM.
Overly simplified numbers and going with a massive outbreak for emphasis, but you get my point.

Bringing up abhorrent examples of systemic racism during a time when we imprisoned every single American with "Japanese blood" in camps doesn't give you the justification to disregard public health data & decision-making. Pretty much everything was tainted by racism in the 1930s 40s.

unfortunately that’s not just a problem for the 40s, it’s a problem now

https://www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.1516047113

quote:

Specifically, this work reveals that a substantial number of white laypeople and medical students and residents hold false beliefs about biological differences between blacks and whites and demonstrates that these beliefs predict racial bias in pain perception and treatment recommendation accuracy. It also provides the first evidence that racial bias in pain perception is associated with racial bias in pain treatment recommendations. Taken together, this work provides evidence that false beliefs about biological differences between blacks and whites continue to shape the way we perceive and treat black people—they are associated with racial disparities in pain assessment and treatment recommendations.

Obviously this must be news to you, otherwise your hand waving would be a sign of lack of concern rather than ignorance about the topic of bias in public health decision-making.

So maybe don’t be so quick to dismiss concerns about “public health decision-making” being biased in ways that it historically has been biased.

they didn't even start asking all those white guys if they smoked cigarettes until like 1970 lmao

In Indiana, where they aren't gatekeeping tests to MSM, 20% of known monkeypox cases are in women. This implies that sexually active MSM are a very high risk category, but the virus is also spreading through the general population. Massage therapists, restaurant workers and schoolchildren are also at high risk of getting poxxed, but good luck getting a vaccine if you're in one of those groups.
