SF Health Leaders Encourage Mpox Vaccinations Before Pride Celebrations

There's a good movie from the 1980s called How To Get Ahead In Advertising. Unappreciated work to my mind. It speaks to this dynamic perfectly. In the movie, the ad executive is having trouble figuring out how to get an audience for his pimple cream. After sacrificing his soul to evil, he comes up with the solution: first you have to encourage pimples in the population. Then, having created your customer base, you sell them the product to cure the pimples you gave them.
It's a great metaphor for our society, and monkeypox is the perfect example. Monkeypox is a disease of casual gay sex. Stopping it is actually pretty simple (not easy, note the difference between simple and easy): discourage casual gay sex. Problem goes away. But you see, then you can't sell your "pimple cream" (the vaccine for monkeypox). Our society chooses every time to fuck people up royally so that we can then sell them technological "fixes" for the very problems we are encouraging.
It's a fun movie. I recommend it.

They associated it with being gay, so straight people wouldn't want to report it.

the department especially recommends the vaccine to [...] men, transgender people and nonbinary people who have sex with men, transgender people or nonbinary people.
That's an awful lot of words to say buttsex. And less accurate too; the virus doesn't care what you identify as.

So what you're saying is that the gay population should get a gay vaccine for a gay disease? That seems problematic.
