the way state and federal agencies are handling hMPXV (by doing nothing and blaming gay people) makes me so mad
refusing to make enough vaccines to prevent spread AND making the uninformed think it’s a disease that only affects people who are sexually active (monkeypox survives on nearly all surfaces in nearly all conditions for months, you can get it just by touching something someone else did weeks or days ago) can only lead to disaster
the CDC’s official plan is to do nothing to prevent people getting exposed to the virus, and then IF vaccines are available, provide them as post exposure prophylactics, which is not backed up by any non-eugenicist data and is infeasible due to the deliberate shortage of available doses
