I did have something to say about it: it’s creator is a known liar, a shitty “journalist” and not a medical expert. It’s not worth the bytes it’s encoded on.
The creator has hundreds of videos. It is possible that there could be falsities in there somewhere. But this would be irrelevant to whether there are falsities in the Monkeypox video. You were asked to talk about the content of the Monkeypox video and you, again, want to talk about some other video. This once again shows your position to be unsatisfactory.
If a known liar tells me something is true, I am justifiably skeptical and do not need to engage with them.
I don't see that she is a "known liar". You have failed to demonstrate that at all. You are refusing to even address the content of the Monkeypox video or to point out its lies.
They are advocating, in a utilitarian way, for a strategy that will force people, bigots like you, to pay attention to the health issues facing the community affected most by Monkeypox. How does that mean that bigots aren’t using it to minimize the same community?
We can see by your continuous insults that you do not have a legitimate argument. It appears that your main argument is insults and accusations, which is particularly poor of you.
The article itself does not argue that people merely need to pay more attention, it argues that the strategy of denying that HIV was a gay disease did not work and as a consequence the gay community is still the primary vector of the disease.

At that point, he says, the national LGBT organizations which participated in the NORA coalition, felt their part in addressing the epidemic was over, and could “move on to issues that affect the rest of us, marriage equality in particular, and that just dominated the political discourse for quite some time. Until today I would say.”
This happened at time when two-thirds of people living with HIV in the U.S. were gay or bisexual men; just as it is today, he points out.
Despite AIDS having “built” the movement, Androite argues, the movement stopped working on HIV.
“But the organized movement kind of strayed away from the very thing that had built them to use their new resources and clout to push a really different agenda that served the needs of — I would argue — a sliver of the community they purport to represent,” he says. “And they didn’t really do anything helpful for the gay men and bisexual men…of color who are now most impacted by HIV but who also are not big contributors of these organizations.”
Androite argues that his reporting finds that LGBT organizations have surrendered the fight against HIV. He notes that it is no longer on the national agenda. He points to the 2006 controversial publicity move by the LA Gay and Lesbian Community Center to draw attention to the crisis. They put up billboards declaring “HIV is a Gay Disease. Own it.” The backlash from the community was fierce, The Los Angeles Times reported.
Despite the statistical reality that 75 percent of the cases in Los Angeles county at the time were in men who have sex with men, various HIV organizations condemned the campaign as getting in the way of getting various risk groups tested.
“There is a level of ignorance about the impact of the epidemic in our own community,” he says. “I would blame the LGBT organizations for that ignorance. It’s kind of like they don’t have it on their agenda: Why? It affects their constituency."
It’s still absolutely telling that instead of wanting the most accurate and helpful description of the disease you have instead chosen to label it using a group that you have in the past labeled as immoral and disgusting.
But you don’t care because you hate gay people and want to alienate them and make them the enemy.
No one here said that they thought that gays should be "hated", or were "the enemy" or were "immoral". You are making up your own arguments and insults because you lack the capacity for a legitimate argument on this topic and tend to base your political and societal positions on emotion.
