Remember when they closed down sporting events and beaches due to Covid? Has anyone in the government even suggested that maybe gay men should cool it with the piss orgies for a few weeks?
Media, CDC, "Scientists" Continue to Gaslight Egregiously on Monkeypox, Shredding Any Remaining Trust —Ace I noted yesterday that 95% of monkeypox cases are diagnosed in gay men. Specifically, gay men who have lots of sex, usually anonymous sex or sex with randos or group sex or orgies.
Because the disease is spread by intimate contact, and you have to be intimate contact with an infected person to catch it, and then, in quick succession, in intimate contact with an infected person to spread it.
In other words: High-volume hyperpromiscuous sex of the kind practiced nigh-exclusively by gay men and paid prostitutes.
And yet the CDC and health "authorities" absolutely refuse to issue any advisory to stop engaging in high-volume multi-partner promiscuous sex during the pandemic. They have no problem recommending that churches and schools be shuttered, but they won't tell gay men to cool it on the orgies.
Orgies are obviously super-spreader events but the CDC won't say a thing about them. Motorcycle rallies are bad, gay orgies are good.
And they're also shrieking that it's wrong to claim that this is mostly a gay disease. I mean, 95% of the infected are gay, but The Science (TM) -- which, as usual, means "The Politics" -- says that we must claim that straights are just as likely to be infected with monkeypox, and that any claim to the contrary is "homophobic" and a "conspiracy theory."
Mother Jones was aghast that Alex Berenson looked at the statistics and decided that a 95% infection rate of gay men meant that monkeypox was almost entirely a disease associated with gay hyperpromiscuity:
[Berenson] then goes on to argue that monkeypox is strictly a disease of gay men. "Are you a gay man who likes sex with lots of other gay men?" he wrote. "Maybe in a bathhouse? Maybe names optional? Maybe with a meth bump on the side? No? Are you sure?... Okay. Don't worry about the monkeypox thing then." With those two points--a supposedly overblown illness plus some homophobia--Berenson did what anti-vaccine activists do best. He managed to build upon his previous talking points and pivot to the current news cycle, neatly weaving the latest headlines into a grand conspiracy theory with necessary villains and egregious profiteering.

I unfortunately was not thinking fast enough.
Just to try it. Just one time
I figured that was obvious
But I'm not here to judge. @BearsWiin can do what he wants.
In my early life blue laws restricted when booze could be sold and pretty much closed everything on Sunday
