The World Health Organisation has declared the mpox outbreak a global health emergency, with an infectious diseases expert telling Sky News it is "very likely" someone in the UK already has the new variant of the viral disease.

    so if you’re not a sex worker or go to sex parties, you’ll almost certainly be fine

    The WHO article you linked below says:

    It is recommended for people at high risk to get vaccinated to prevent infection with mpox, especially during an outbreak. This includes:

    • health workers at risk of exposure
    • men who have sex with men
    • people with multiple sex partners
    • sex workers.

        So more people are considered high risk than what you said.

            When did you last have sex with someone? Was that person a sex worker? Were you having a sex orgy? Why are those the only two options?

            You realize people cheat? Probably your hand would cheat if it could get away from you

              That’s none of your business.

              Did I ever say they were tbe only two options?

              Yes I do realise people cheat?

              What does any of this have to do with anything?

                Well, YOU brought it up and regurgitated an old and inaccurate stigma, potentially risking lives. You tell me what sexual health has to do with inaccurate claims by people like you. Why are you commenting here if you know nothing and are just spreading harm?

                  What stigma did I bring up? Like read my comment again, I didn’t say a single negative thing.

                  I’m litterally just quoting the available info given by the WHO. But given by your smugness I’m guessing you’re actually a leading virologist in the Republic of Congo, right? Since you apparently know more than the WHO.

                    You aren’t quoting. That wasn’t a quote. Stop gaslighting, stop engaging in sophistry, stop being emotionally abusive. It’s not appreciated.

                    You did indeed say negative stuff. Stop gaslighting, stop engaging in sophistry, stop being emotionally abusive. It’s not appreciated.

                    I didn’t say I knew more than the WHO. Stop gaslighting, stop engaging in sophistry, stop being emotionally abusive. It’s not appreciated.
