[EXCERPT]

Dr. Jeremy Faust has been studying the outbreak in Europe and discovered that all 89 confirmed cases have something in common.

Against the idea that this virus is more easily transmitted than earlier variants—say through smaller droplets or via the air—is that among the 89 cases being investigated for whom we know the gender, all 89 are males, a large number of whom are young and middle-aged adults.

Public health agencies have reported that this monkeypox outbreak has been spreading in males who have had sexual contact with other infected males (or members of a shared sexual network).

However, we do not know if that is true in some, many, most, or all of the cases.

Still, what we do know suggests strongly, to me at least, that monkeypox may still be primarily spreading through sexual contact, a known major mode of transmission. It could be that this virus has not gained any newfound stability in the air or in droplets—and that would certainly be welcome news—but that it is spreading with greater ease than usual (and therefore via more casual contact) in sexual networks, due to some genetic changes in the virus.

If the virus were spreading through the air via respiratory droplets, we’d expect some women to have been infected by now. As it is, health authorities in Britain, Spain, and Portugal have said that a “notable proportion” of infected patients are gay or bisexual men.

“members of a shared sexual network”

*****

Lots of good reasons to avoid shared sexual networks. The drama alone would be unbearable.

Then the “science” says to lock down all gay establishments, quarantine all gay males and fake (tranny) females.

No more trannies at kids events (libraries & churches).
