The Regime Wants You to Get MonkeypoxRather than face disapproving comments from gay activists, public health experts, the media, and politicians preferred to let a deadly disease become an epidemic.

The World Health Organization on Saturday declared the spread of monkeypox to be a global health emergency, one of just three in the world, along with COVID and polio.
Once confined to fairly limited outbreaks in Africa, the latest monkeypox outbreak has reached more than 75 countries with more than 16,000 confirmed cases (the actual number is doubtless much higher). While just three deaths have been reported, that number is certain to climb and the lasting consequences of contracting it, including scarring and other serious side effects, can be quite significant.
It is ironic that the WHO has declared monkeypox a global health emergency, because the global regime under which we labor (of which the WHO is certainly a part) wants you to get monkeypox.
They want your kids—who are at much higher risk than adults for serious complications—to get monkeypox.
You may doubt it. You may question whether the government would want everyone to contract a painful, debilitating, and potentially deadly disease—and, indeed, have that disease become endemic around the world—rather than anger key constituent groups.
Question all you like. But it is true.
The importance of your health and even your life is trivial to the regime compared to their need to appear morally virtuous.
Don’t believe me? They have done it before, with deadly consequences.
No, I’m not talking about COVID—though the depredations of our government’s response to the pandemic will be studied for a long time to come. Instead, I’m referring to the AIDS epidemic, a more direct analogue to monkeypox, which was first spread by extremely promiscuous gay men with hundreds and sometimes thousands of anonymous sex partners.

AIDS, like monkeypox, was never really a “gay disease” (lesbians, in fact, were at the least risk of exposure) or even a disease of gay men in monogamous relationships. But it was a disease that disproportionately attacked promiscuous gay men, which was (and is), sad to say, a huge number of them.
As with AIDS, monkeypox clearly has spread through networks of gay men with staggering numbers of partners. Slowing the spread and ultimately containing the monkeypox virus would have been easy. All it would have required is to broadcast loudly and clearly to gay men that they need to abstain from sex with multiple partners until the epidemic is under control. But we didn’t do that because the public health community feared stigmatizing irresponsible behavior among a favored minority group.
Of course, the point of addressing transmission pathways for a disease isn’t to stigmatize—it’s to stop the spread of the disease. But to our public health community. making members of a protected or oppressed class change their irresponsible disease-spreading behavior is worse than spreading a deadly disease.
