The thing that gets me about that PrEP stuff is that everyone is acting like it's a surefire, never-fail, silver bullet treatment. We can't even get contraceptives that are 100% all the time--and we're a damned sight more experienced there--but you're going act like this shit has absolutely no chance of ever not working and just go raw with no further consideration?

It’s 99% effective at preventing sexual transmission of HIV, which is good enough apparently for people to raw dog it at orgies.

Chemsex, unchecked promiscuity, orgies and PrEP were the unspoken reasons why Monkeypox was a problem. And at the height of the Monkeypox outbreak they were worried about stigmatising gays and people thinking the name of the virus was racist. At no point did any public health organisation just tell the gays to knock the random hookups on the head for six months, they even tried to hide how it was spreading only amongst the gay community and that it was spreading primarily through sex (never forget the medical journal article claiming sore dicks and swollen anuses were new monkeypox symptoms, never forget).

The establishment has become so afraid of offending particular minorities that they will actively cover shit up even when the cover ups are 100% retarded, and worse still, the media is 100% on board with it.

Monkeypox, that's one I haven't heard of in awhile. The various media outlets really did an outstanding job of burying that, didn't they? While at the same time pounding the Covid drum nice and hard, of course.

Disappeared pretty quickly after it became too obvious that it was only transmitted by gay sex, and the awkward cases where pets and kids were getting it.
