As monkeypox hits California’s LGBTQ community, activists say not enough is being done
LA Times ^ | 8 July 2022 | GRACE TOOHEY, RONG-GONG LIN II

Community health and LGBTQ rights leaders in California are demanding a much more aggressive response to monkeypox from government and health agencies, saying shortages of vaccines and limited public outreach are exacerbating the outbreaks.

Confirmed and probable cases of monkeypox across California have climbed by 65% in the last week, from 85 to 141. There were 47 confirmed and probable cases of the virus in Los Angeles County as of Thursday — an almost 60% increase since last week — and in San Francisco, cases have more than doubled in a similar time frame, rising from 16 to 40.

While monkeypox is nowhere near as contagious as the coronavirus, officials said they are concerned about the increase in infections. The cases in both counties are spreading primarily among men who have sex with other men, health officials said, as has been the trend since the outbreak began in early May.

More from the article: "Transmission likely accelerated at Pride events attended by gay and bisexual men in June. The month is a season of travel for many gay and bisexual men, with Pride events held in major cities — in California, the U.S. and abroad — every weekend in June. This weekend, the city of Long Beach is hosting its Pride parade and celebrations. As reports of infection and exposure have increased, there is a clamor for vaccinations, and widespread frustration about the inability to get the shots."

No homosexual sex, no needle sharing, no sex with drug users or bisexuals. Try it for 2 weeks to flatten the curve, then see how that turns out. Maybe a permanent ban.

I’m waiting until they start saying it’s a heterosexual disease just like AIDs. Same old format, different decade.

I have to chuckle. Duhhhhhhhhhh, hey, you sex starved men, why not have some PRIDE and not have sex/skin contact for a month???? Too much to ask when they seek a medical solution to their bad decisions on the backs of taxpayers.

Seems like too much rumpy-bumping is being done by the brown nosing activists. Maybe they shouldn’t do that as fauxi states ‘slow the spread’ and stench of their perversions.

Quit shooting smack and banging each other up the ass for starters.

Honestly, though, I think Homopox is another of God's punishments for Sodomites.

JUst like AIDS, but if you suggest shutting down the bars and clubs where homos engage in anonymous sodomy, they’ll scream that they’re rights are being violated.

How much outreach should,there be? Everyone is aware by now, practically, that it’s affecting homo folks, and they know to refrain from sex if they want to not get it, but they can’t refrain, so no amount of outreach is gonna stop it.
