Activists Upset Mexico And Brazil Governments “Didn’t Do Anything” On Monkeypox

‘The government didn’t do anything’: Mexican, Brazilian monkeypox responses draw concern

Francisco’s lesions started after returning home to Mexico City from California in late June: First, two spots on his buttocks. Then, a week later, lesions all over his body, his mouth so full of sores that he could barely talk or drink water.

“The pain was indescribable, catastrophic,” said Francisco, 44, who asked Reuters to conceal his real name.

Francisco had one of at least 59 monkeypox infections confirmed in Mexico since May, which experts believe could undercount the true number.

In Latin America, Mexico ranks behind Brazil and Peru for confirmed cases of the viral disease, which has primarily spread among gay and bisexual men like Francisco.

The World Health Organization declared monkeypox a global health emergency on July 23, prompting greater attention from regional officials. However, some doctors and activists in Latin America’s two largest countries told Reuters the response has been too tepid.

“We are not seeing the necessary measures taken, nor the necessary importance given to monkeypox,” said Dr. Sergio Montalvo, a sexual health specialist in Mexico City.

It’s pretty easy: don’t go to California to attend what’s being termed “men on men sex”, especially in large groups. The medical folks and even the news has been saying from the beginning, back in May, that the primary spread of monkeypox was occurring amongst gay men, especially at their superspreader parties. People like Francisco were told. If he and the others do not want to listen, well, the “activists” should be telling them “don’t go to those parties if you don’t want to catch it.”

“In these two months, we could have already made significant progress,” said Ricardo Baruch, an LGBT health researcher who helped organize a protest in Mexico City last week to ask for greater efforts to target prevention to men who have sex with men (MSM).

And what efforts does Ricardo want? He should be saying “don’t have men on men sex at big parties.” Why is it the job of Government? Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

Dr. Andrea Vicari, PAHO’s director of infectious threat management said it was not too late to curb monkeypox’s spread in the Americas.

“Even if we don’t have vaccines, we have other control measures. If we implement these well, we will be able to accomplish our objectives to reduce transmission.”

We don’t need vaccines. Don’t have men on men sex.
