I think what he and others actually wanted was for the monkeypox outbreak to roll the state of acceptance of gay men back several decades

Exactly, I was surprised to see that even tried given how low the monkeypox mortality rate was though, perhaps naive of me

Gay men apparently did a great job cutting back on sex and getting their vaccinations is the thing. Monkeypox got crushed

It's funny because as a gay man on fire island that summer, people were being way way way more cautious. And also organizing vaccination clinics every day.

I found out one of my analysts was bi because he just dropped "I got my monkeypox vaccine" into a convo as his way of coming out

They are talking 2022, where in July 2022 CDC was sending out more vaccines and discouraging casual sex rather than demanding all gay sex end now (the last US death from monkey pox was a month later.) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022%E2...

Right, but my point is: the fact that there isn’t a widespread monkeypox pandemic in the US and never was entirely vindicates the CDC’s approach. The measures they did take were sufficient to control the disease in the US.

He's not mad about monkeypox spreading; he's mad that the Biden administration didn't crack down on homosexuals. 100% anger (or an attempt to abuse anger of others) over COVID lockdowns to justify why destroying Western medicine is the only option left available to "reasonable" people.

Imagine saying that something terrible was happening to your family because the gays wouldn’t stop fucking.

Congratulations, Mick. You've recreated their argument against gay marriage from their first principles by mistake!

Yep: was a bugbear that the CDC told gay men to not have unprotected sex with novel and untested partners instead of making gay sex illegal because that is comparable to the COVID shutdowns in their minds. www.thepinknews.com/2022/08/29/m...

We wouldn't have had to appoint a crank as HHS Secretary if we hadn't had to do quarantine which actually would have been fine if it weren't for the dern GAYS

Really though I'm just proud of Erick for not already abandoning his wife for a TikTok Trad influencer. He's definitely beating the curve, here.

Alright, so we already did Soros. And now, as I've suspected all along, we find out that the gays were somehow to blame. Who's next up?
