Monkeypox isn't airborne, so it's pretty easy to avoid contracting.

If you think that is responsive to my comment, you're thinking of a much earlier point in time than I am.

Because the messaging was so muddled by attempts to amplify fear[1][2] or to avoid stigma, straight people showed up to vaccination sites and took very limited Monkeypox vaccine capacity from the sub-population who was actually at risk. At the time, I read opinions[3] from gay men who would have really preferred that the messaging was more explicit about who was at risk (so that gay men knew to get vaccinated and straight people knew they weren't at much risk).
