Recently, a case of MPV was identified in an infant in King County. The infant is currently hospitalized, stable, and receiving treatment. The infant was likely exposed to monkeypox through an infected family member. This child did not get the infection from school, childcare or other public setting.
someone kissed/touched the baby who shouldn't have :yeshrug:

I don’t know the specifics of who can catch it, I’ve just read that the gay community at higher risk. But from the article:

“According to the public health agency, the infant "was likely exposed to monkeypox through an infected family member. This child did not get the infection from school, childcare or other public setting."

I would bet money that family member wasn’t from the Harlem side of the family

I said before it being completely framed as a gay disease is really bad. obviously the gays need to be most aware and there is a reason why they are the only ones qualifying for the vax but...

it spreads through human contact not just bussy activities :dame:

people who are more exposed to human contact are going to get it. so just like covid, people who are more in front facing customer service/retail work aka non-white people are going to be catching it at a higher rate too. not at an alarming rate most likely, but the fact that it's getting stigmatized as a gay disease is probably gonna stop straight people from getting it treated properly out of not wanting to look :dame:


and if any kid catches it people gonna claim the parent is molesting them and shyt. it's all gonna be a fukking mess.


i'ma just chill over here

But only gay men can get it. The Coli said so. Was The Coli wrong? :ohhh:
From the same crew who said black folks were immune to COVID and 5G causes COVID.

MP is a from Harlem activity on the continent unlike the rest of the world.

I notice that you’ve been in other monkey pox threads pointing out the few cases of people with monkey pox who haven’t been gay. It’s almost like you’re trying hard to prove something—I’m guessing you probably are gay or down low.

In any case, no one said that only gays get it, we just said what research said, which is that in men who get it the majority are gay/bi in the USA. And in the USA the group with the highest cases of monkey pox is gay and bisexual men, by far. The percentage of women and children with it is extremely minimal. You know this.

Even in the case of this infant, the news said the baby got it from an adult. That adult could have been a gay or bisexual man. We don’t know.

No matter how much down low Brehs want this to not be a sickness mostly impacting bussy boys, it very much is. So any man who gets it, is also getting the side eye from me.
