Anyone getting Déjà vu circa early 80’s with Monkey Pox ?

How do you mean?

R1, seeing some parallels to early AIDS, which was at the time referred to as “ gay cancer”

How does it spread?

by Anonymousreply 4May 19, 2022 12:00 PM

"If monkeypox spreads, I think I’m leaving medicine. I’m not exposing myself to a disease with 10% mortality because this country of selfish fucks refuses to mask or get vaccines when they’re available.

Make whatever health choices you want. My choice will be to leave."

The maga crowd is already dismissing this virus as a gay sexually transmitted disease. Fuck them

I'm more concerned about killer bees. My God---trolls trying to make things happen.

I don’t care. I am an ugly gay and never get laid. This disease doesn’t effect me. 💅 I don’t have random sex. Wish I did though.

It’s not a STD! It can spread through contact!

Yes. However:

“Generally speaking, monkeypox is spread by respiratory transmission, but the characteristics of the 23 suspected cases point towards transmission through mucus during sexual relations,” according to Spain’s Health Ministry.

I lived thru the early days of AIDS. Yes, I expect my coworkers to start avoiding me at work.

I really am past retirement age.

I was born in the early 80s, so don't remember the dawn of AIDS. But I do remember the news stories as a child and, as I grew into my teens and realized I was gay, the fear that I might one day become infected. The last 10 years since PrEP has exploded, I've been critical of PrEP-users who bareback without a care in the world ("life's a banquet!!!") — as if AIDS were the first and last lethal sexually transmitted virus, and there's nothing more to be cautious of. Such an idiotic and myopic attitude.

Younger gays are less promiscuous. They prefer serial monogamy or friends with benefits. So I think they'll be better off. The aged bottoms who are on prep and seeking out every dick on Grindr may not be. DL guys will of course spread to this women... That will never change.

Republicans will use this to demonize gays as usual.

There are vaccine and antiviral med for this shit.

And let me remind you, fat whores, again: OBESITY kills more and more fat people.

AIRBORNE SUPER AIDS

SHRIEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

by Anonymousreply 18May 20, 2022 12:13 PM

Thank the media for implicating gays in this. All I heard at work the past couple days is how this is the new AIDS. It’s not an STD, and you can get vaccinated against it. It’s main source of transmission is through your respiratory system. But god forbid the media should do any responsible reporting on it.

Thank goodness Americans have shown themselves eager to embrace vaccines as a way out of a medical crisis.

That’s okay, r20. Just more dead anti-vaxxers. No loss.

All the pretty gays will die. I better do my face, with all of them dying in droves I will be considered pretty!

No you won’t ^

This just further validates my decision to continue wearing a mask in public. I am mocked by some people but idgaf. We are too overpopulated and at least half of the population have the intelligence of a grapefruit.
