Uh, yeah. No disagreement. Again, this is all stuff you can find out from Google in 30 seconds. Like the CDC link I shared earlier.My understanding is that monkeypox spreads mainly through close physical contact with an infected person. I'm sure there are probably other, less efficient means of transmission, but that sounds like the main one. Little kids hug, touch, and rub up against their parents all the time. I have absolutely no idea whether you can spread monkeypox by using somebody else's blankets or linens, but those things get passed around in households too. This isn't a mystery to anybody who's raised a kid.
As to why gay men are so prone to monkeypox, it's because monkeypox spreads mainly through close physical contact with an infected person, and gay men -- as a demographic group -- are really promiscuous. That's not because they're gay. It's because they're men. We would have been super-promiscuous too if women were wired that way.
None of this stuff requires any tiptoeing around.
Monkeypox found a foothold in a subpocket of gay men. And it spread quickly. Next it will branch out to kids and some other group still TBD.
Others in here seemed overly eager to emphasize the gay angle. Almost like they had a hidden message. What could it be?
