"You can take our freedoms but you'll never take our bathhouses."

Amazing. They told us to lock down and stop living our lives for years to avoid COVID but now they say it would be stigmatizing and unfair to tell gay men to stop having random sex with strangers to avoid monkeypox. These are our "public health experts," folks. https://t.co/7RQExW5man

Gregg Gonsalves is an associate professor at Yale School of Public Health and a public health correspondent at The Nation, according to his Wikipedia.

First, it is not a gay disease as @klts0 @Neurofourier and @Boghuma have said. If you are say it is, you are perpetuating stigma and ignorance, damaging the public health response to this and endangering lives. 2/ https://t.co/eIfj8zCd0c

The answer isn't shut down all these parties, tell gay men to stop having sex at them or dancing in close proximity to each other. It won't work. It hasn't worked for HIV or other kinds of infectious disease outbreaks among gay men. 4/

Remember how Fauci said go ahead and use Grindr for hookups during the start of the covid pandemic?

"If you want to go a little bit more intimate, well, then that's your choice regarding a risk," Fauci said.

This monkeypox outbreak is a perfect opportunity for Fauci to start hitting up the gay bathhouses again like he did in the 1980s to "investigate."
