I'm tempted to say that this will all be quickly forgotten as monkeypox isn't all that easy to get. The levels of promiscuity one finds in the gay community can be...unhygienic. However, HIV started out this way, and while it always remained a disease mostly rooted in behavior, the ensuing heterosexual AIDS panic, stoked by the media, went on for some time. I'm not expecting a monkeypox pandemic, but someone might just decide this can be turned into something politically useful. I don't see how, but then I didn't see Coronapanic becoming what it became either.

Dr. Malone has a good detailed explanation on his substack.
