The Addiction to Freedom and Homosexual Tolerance has Driven the West to Turn its Back Upon Science Exposing the Planet to the Danger of a New Viral Plague taking Root

News:

Health and science correspondent James Gallagher asked a critically important question last week as the title of his BBC news article: "Monkeypox: Can we still stop the outbreak?" He did more than many others to ‘come out’ with the obvious truth that “persuading people to have less sex” would be very effective at containing the disease, but did he go far enough?

Comment:

Writing within the tight constraints of modern Western ‘cancel culture’ he has been somewhat coy, to say the least, about the homosexual aspect of monkeypox virus spread. For example, his wrote about sex in general, but official UK data has shown that almost all cases are in men who have sex with other men. So why did he not write the question in terms of homosexual sex? Only he knows, but anyone living in the West knows that were he to raise the question of restricting homosexual activity he would be accused of being discriminatory against the so-called ‘homosexual community’.

The writer did not ignore the homosexual aspect completely.  He referred to a research paper in the New England Journal of Medicine saying that an “estimated 95% of monkeypox infections were being acquired through sex, particularly sex between men.” Nevertheless, this statement is a watered-down summary of the results of the research paper that sounds less discriminatory to homosexuals, as the word ‘particularly’ only means that a majority of the 95% of infections come from homosexual sex. In fact, only a very tiny fraction of the infections come from anything other than homosexual contact. Let the New England Journal of Medicine speak for itself: “Overall, 98% of the persons with infection were gay or bisexual men…Transmission was suspected to have occurred through sexual activity in 95% of the persons with infection.” putting these statements together shows that only 2% of cases lack a proven homosexual element and clearly virtually all of the 95% of sexual transmissions must be from homosexual sex.

So why are Western governments not “persuading people to have less” homosexual “sex”? The article suggests that “the lesson of sexually transmitted infections - from syphilis in the Middle Ages through to now - is that people still have sex and "vaccination is pretty much the only option". The comparison with other diseases spread by sex is not fair. Other research has shown that about one third of those infected with the virus have had sex with 10 other men in the past 3 months, so the problem is not with sex in general. Rather, monkeypox is being spread by highly promiscuous homosexual activity.

Many Western governments prevented unmarried people from being in the same house together. There were even restrictions on people being together in parks and other public spaces. So, for Covid-19, the West could stop sexual contact in general, and in fact all types of contact, but for monkeypox Western governments will not close homosexual meeting places or prevent tens of thousands of people gathering for the annual ‘pride’ marches.

Someone might argue that Covid-19 is much more infectious than monkeypox, and thus stricter regulations were needed. The problem is that monkeypox may change, and the longer the Western world does nothing, the greater the chance that the virus will better adapt to spread between all sectors of our communities. If that happens; then the whole world will suffer, and not just the West, which has become so liberal that it can put us all at risk. Rather than confronting the perverse freedoms that it so proudly propagates, and rather than risking to offend the supporters of sexual deviancy that have come to dominate their societies; they will ignore the obvious facts and waive the flag of a vaccine even though there are not enough doses available and the effectiveness of them is unproven. They are gambling with the health of the planet in the name of liberalism and turning their back upon scientific principles of infection control. May Allah protect us from their ideological stupidity.
