Biden's New Deputy Coordinator on Monkeypox... Literally Wrote the Article Instructing Health Professionals To Lie About How Monkeypox Is Really Spread, and By Whom, In Order to Spare Gays "Stigma"

And he got the health professionals across the country to lie about monkeypox, too.

He was appointed, without media fanfare, Biden's National Deputy Coordinator on Monkeypox on August 2nd. No rainbow confetti parades for this guy. No media Victory Tours.

Want to know why?

So I assume he's in charge of giving people monkeypox? If so, great pick!!!

You may think that's a rightwing parody.

But you'd be wrong. It's a tribute from a clothing shop called "Nasty Pig" that says Dr. Demetre shops there, and is a hero for giving advice to the gay community about monkeypox. Which, "Nasty Pig" fetish clothing shop notes, is advice that's been taken up by health officials around the country.

You might think, "Well, if he gave frank advice about monkeypox to the gay community, I guess that's something."

Except he didn't. He pushed the narrative that speaking plainly about who monkeypox infects creates a "stigma," so we should lie about it and claim "Monkeypox infects everyone!"

Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, Director, CDC Division of HIV prevention, presented at both monkeypox sessions at the conference, and similarly addressed the need to combat stigma associated with the disease. In June, as part of the CDC's Monkeypox Response Team, he published an article in the Annals of Internal Medicine that addressed the issue specifically.


In Monkeypox: Avoiding the Mistakes of Past Infectious Disease, Daskalakis and his co-authors warned "[e]xperience has shown the dangers of characterizing a disease by associating it with a single population or a particular identity. Such associations can create stigma that outlives the outbreak and lost opportunities to detect and address the infection in other populations. Knowledge is power."

He carefully avoided saying "gay sex transmits monkeypox," because that might have lost him the Nasty Pig Hero honor.

Monkeypox virus infection can be transmitted through cutaneous routes during close or intimate contact with a person whose lesions are not yet crusted over and healed, via fomites that have had contact with a person with monkeypox, and by respiratory droplets among people with close, sustained face-to-face contact.

He says that we shouldn't make the same mistake as we did with AIDS, permitting people to wrongly believe that monkeypox, like AIDS, is almost exclusively a disease of gay men.

Accurate description of the epidemiology of an infectious disease is essential to public health efforts. Careful epidemiology helps to increase awareness and use of preventive measures while also avoiding the stigma and discrimination that can occur when conditions are more frequent in specific communities. The epidemiology of an emerging infection may change over time, but early associations with a specific population made by the public, clinicians, and health agencies often persist. This may result in stigma and misguided confidence that an outbreak is contained within that population. The original misnomer for HIV--gay-related immune deficiency (GRID)--looms large in the consciousness of many gay men and offers a cautionary lesson for monkeypox and other infectious disease outbreaks.
Although the details of how monkeypox reached nonendemic countries during the current outbreak remain unclear, it seems to be disproportionately occurring in social networks of MSM [a euphemism for gay men]. There is no known biological trait of monkeypox virus that increases its proclivity to infect MSM. Anyone can contract or spread monkeypox via close physical contact with lesions; through fomites, such as contaminated clothes and other objects; and through respiratory droplets.

Are other groups having gangbang orgies with strangers thus greatly, greatly increasing the odds that someone will get infected and then pass the disease on to someone else, or nah?

So why gay, bisexual, and other MSM? Multiple outbreaks have taught us that infectious diseases occur at different rates because of social, economic, and environmental factors, not biological ones. Pathogens do not intentionally discriminate on the basis of identity, such as race, gender, or sexual orientation--societies do--and monkeypox is no different.

Do they affect different populations based on the behavior of that population, especially as regards sexual -- that is, "close contact" -- behavior with multiple random partners?

You don't want to say, do you?

Because you don't want to say, "Gay men have to calm down on the hyperpromiscuity."

So you handwave that away and say it's based on vague "social, cultural, and environmental factors."

From the Anals of Internal Medicine.

"GRID" was in fact a perfectly accurate term -- AIDS is and was highly "gay-related."

You just didn't like the politics of the accurate descriptor.

So just lie to people and tell them that gay men are of no special danger from monkeypox, and that married straight people are at risk. Same as we did with AIDS!

So add another Star to Joe Biden's Highly-Qualified, Not-At-All-Diversity-Checkbox-Incompetents Rainbow All-Stars.

By the way:

Would it surprise you to know that this repulsive freak also co-owns a Satanism-themed gym?

The New York Post:

Meet the fitness freaks who will have you burning (calories) in hell

...

Instead of happy aphorisms painted on the walls, there's graffiti, illustrations of ghosts and "#hellyeah" signs throughout. In the lounge area, a black spin-bike hangs from the ceiling, draped in leather fetish gear. In the yoga studio, a massive, 11-foot-tall light-up pentagram by artist Desi Santiago leans against the wall, adding a unique ambience to the Sunday candle-lit yoga classes. A juice bar, serving up kale concoctions, is decorated with dozens of Mexican Day of the Dead skull masks.

"We are definitely an uncensored, unapologetic, explicit workout," says Macneal. "A lot of people, that's what they want. You feel like you're a rock star, like you're at the club."

"[Fitness] doesn't have to be sunshine and cookie-cutter," adds 30-something Sarah LaBier, a former event planner and marketer who opened the studio, along with Macneal and his husband Demetre Daskalakis, at the end of August.

But even though there are witchy and sadomasochistic touches throughout, the partners note that they're not really into the dark arts.

"We don't worship the devil, we're not Satan followers," says LaBier. "We're just sort of taking that energy and making it more positive."

"We play edgy videos but in a real positive class," says Macneal. "There's light even in darkness."

Sure. Say, Satan was supposedly the Angel of Light before he fell, right?

That body harness he's seen wearing in the top photo? The one with the Pentagram in black leather straps?

Looks like this "Devilish Delights Body Harness" (content warning), huh?

It's almost as if he really is a Satanist or something.

Putting the Satanism and general depravity to one side -- this guy didn't just lie about the transmission of monkeypox in order to protect his sexual hobbies from any bummer vibes, but he evangelized for lying about monkeypox.

And Biden of course promoted him.

But of course lying is a valued skill in the United States government "health" bureaucracy.


I forgot to include the post's dedication:
