EXCERPT:
NOAH: “But for most people, it gives you some painful boils for, like, a few days, and then it’s gone. Yeah. And after Covid, I’m not going to lie, that doesn’t faze me. Yeah, because it’s like, is this going to kill one million people and shut downtown planet? No? Then I’m taking these boils to the club, baby. Now, you may have noticed that online or somewhere else, people are saying that monkeypox is a gay disease. Please understand that is not true. All right. Yes, gay men who are very sexually active are at higher risk of getting the disease because it’s transmitted through touch. But it is not a gay disease. Anyone can get it. So while we should make sure the gay community has the support they need, we also shouldn’t stigmatize them and make it seem monkeypox is their disease. The same way Covid— the same way Covid wasn’t a Chinese person’s disease. The same way AIDS wasn’t an African person’s disease, all right.”
