#1 They need more data. It probably hit the gay black community first. The communicability of this Pox is well known and very low. The CDC has tracked and studies it for decades. So it hit GA first, in a black community. Its not about race, its about culture. But god forbid we call it where its hitting.

#2 Can't rule out differences in susceptibility due to genetics either.

Makes a valid point, Genetics.

BUTT lifestyle also played/plays an important role also.

#7 OK, I'll bite (metaphorically, of course):
Does this mean that monkeypox virus be raciss or that Black men are disproportionally gay?

#9 Gay blacks are apparently pretty ostracized in their communities. I wonder if that plays a factor somehow.
