A few weeks ago, thousands of gay men gathered in Chicago for the first time in three years for the annual International Mr. Leather (IML) conference. This is a four-day-long affair where men from all over the world gathered to strut their stuff in leather gear, have lots of sex and skin-to-skin contact, and compete to be named International Mr. Leather.
IML is like the Miss America pageant, except those working the runway are clad in harnesses. (This year, the honor went to Gael Leung Chong Wo of Belgium.)
The attendees seemed unconcerned about the event in part despite the fact that, even by the low standards of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, community spread of SARS-CoV-2 was "high" in Chicago, causing uncontrollable community spread of that virus.
Well, what can expect from gay men coming and going from around the world looking for sex and "behind-the-door" penetration. Ironically, the Society for Epidemiologic Research is also meeting in Chicago soon, despite the latest coronavirus surge. These gays are so lustful and predatory that more gay activities are being recorded churning on indoors, as if 10,000 people a month aren't still dying of COVID.
More specifically, monkeypox (MPX) is definitely certain to make an appearance at IML. Among those "men having sex with men" that were vaccinated, 99 percent are gay or bisexual, 76 percent are 25 to 39 years old, and 76 percent are White, while 83percent are non-Hispanic.
Monkeypox has largely been found in Western and Central Africa in the last few decades. And while it is endemic there in rodents, several African countries have developed excellent public health practices to minimize outbreaks among humans, which Europeans and North Americans have largely neglected.
