A New York City Department of Health senior epidemiologist who was reassigned within the department after speaking out about the city’s politically correct messaging on the monkeypox outbreak doubled down on his criticisms and also took aim at the city’s coronavirus response.
Weiss had spoken to the New York Times on July 18, arguing that the city’s guidance suggesting people infected with monkeypox could have safer sex if they avoid kissing and covered their sores. Monkeypox has overwhelmingly affected gay and bisexual men in the city, and Weiss told the outlet that New York officials should instead advise people at risk of being infected to temporarily decrease their number of sexual partners or practice abstinence.
So, the Doctor gave some common sense advice, and honest advice. Advice that might prevent people from contracting monkey pox. But, this sound medical advice is INSENSITIVE! Maybe even HOMOPHOBIC! So, instead of sound advice…………..
The Department of Health had instead issued a statement saying, “For decades, the L.G.B.T.Q.+ community has had their sex lives dissected, prescribed, and proscribed in myriad ways, mostly by heterosexual and cis people.”
The department argued that “abstinence-only guidance” has historically “poorly” performed and that it crafted its guidance “with this disgraceful legacy in mind,” according to a statement reported by the New York Times in July.
They have literally sold their credibility in exchange for virtue signaling points.
