The current monkeypox outbreak is almost entirely occurring
through men having sex with men.

But many in the media and the public health establishment are
dedicated to disguising that fact.

Commentator Josh Barro has been documenting this bizarre,
dishonest, and likely harmful tendency.

The Daily Mail posted a graphic on �How to Have Sex if You Have
Monkeypox.�

It includes three heterosexual couples, one woman having
�virtual sex� with a person of unknown gender, and no same-sex
couples. Setting aside the primary means of this virus�s
transmission, it�s kind of shocking in an age of representation
and inclusivity to exclude gay men from this graphic
deliberately.

Everywhere you look, you see media outlets, health experts, and
public officials pretending that this disease is not primarily
spread through gay sex.

Health Secretary Xavier Becerra also tried to make it sound like
everyone is at high risk of getting the monkeypox.

Shooting down strawmen is the main tactic here.

Reuters ran a �fact check� quoting an infectious disease expert
saying, �Viruses do not care about your sexual orientation or
the type of sex you have. ... They care about a host that is
susceptible to infection and the optimal conditions for
transmission.�

This reads like language explicitly designed to deceive the
reader. Of course viruses "don�t care" about your sexual
orientation. Viruses don�t care about anything. You could just
as aptly say COVID �doesn�t care if you are old, if you are in a
crowded bar, if prevalence in your community is high, if you
were previously infected, or if you are vaccinated.�

Nobody said the virus cares about your sexual orientation. What
needs to be said is that monkeypox is mostly spread by men
having sex with infected men. Why does that need to be said?
Because (a) the behavior modification that can slow the spread
and protect a person is to not have gay sex with men who might
be infected; and (b) the people who need the vaccine the most
are sexually active gay men.

This �fact check� and the experts it quotes are efforts to
mislead the public on the nature of the outbreak.

Reuters explains that they are worried about �stigma.� That is,
they are afraid that if they admit that male-on-male sex is the
primary vector of this outbreak, it will lead to discrimination
against gay men. Of course, if any gay men fall for this
coverage, those gay men will be more vulnerable because they
won�t understand the centrality of gay sex in this outbreak.

Once again, our news media and public health experts decide that
honesty, clarity, and public health take a back seat to culture
war and politics.
