CDC says gay and bi men in Florida need the meningococcal vaccine, to keep them safe in 'worst' outbreak in US history

The CDC's been trying to warn men in Florida or traveling to Florida, particularly those who identify as gay, bisexual, queer or trans, that they need to get a vaccine that can prevent them from getting meningococcal disease. Meningococcal disease, including meningitis, is a bacterial infection in the lining of the brain and spinal cord.

As of Friday, there have been 26 cases and seven deaths with 24 of these cases among men who have sex with men. Six of the deaths were also a part of the LGBTQ community. Half of the cases have been in men who identify as Hispanic.

The disease doesn't only impact people who identify as LGBT or Q and the illness does not seem to be connected to one particular event. The CDC is still investigating, but the outbreak is ongoing.

But San Fran is good to go? Riiiiight. This is just a political attack against DeSantis.

Hmmm. So where is the ‘my body, my choice” bunch declaring they will decide what gets insert.................... Oh. 😬

[Diana in Wisconsin]

They just can’t kill themselves off fast enough, can they?

Just recognize your self-loathing for what it is, get the help that you need and leave the rest of us alone.

Sounds like time for a lockdown/quarantine (snark)

[fieldmarshaldj]

Or they could stop sodomizing one another.

Naah.

[Gaffer]

They don’t say the number one preventative member is to keep their ‘members’ out of other mens’ butts.

I have a novel solution - quit screwing each other! It works!

You know, this is very serious. Could be fatal. If there were only a way to avoid catching diseases like Monkeypox, HIV, meningitis...if there were only a way. I just can't think of what it might be, but there must be a way to avoid these things.

For a Win/Win, the gays can have our COVID-19 Vaccines too!

[fella]

Play gay games

Win gay prizes

“...particularly those who identify as gay, bisexual, queer or trans...”

Hmmmm? Another “plague” upon the perverts.

GOD shall not be mocked!

“If there were only a way to avoid catching diseases like Monkeypox, HIV, meningitis...if there were only a way. I just can’t think of what it might be, but there must be a way to avoid these things.”

Same with abortion...If there were only a way...How about keeping your pants on?

[laweeks]

There’re even better ways to keep safe: find a good woman and don’t engage in homosexual practices . . . you’ll live longer.

[drSteve78]

but there must be a way to avoid these

….or as self eliminating diseases, perhaps just Do Nothing and the infected population will just eventually go away.

[drSteve78]

you’ll live longer.

……ahhhh, but there may yet be suffering. 😉
