'This isn’t just a monkeypox story. This is a story of how we consistently fail people on the margins,' writes Jonathan Van Ness
From the moment that monkeypox cases began rising in June, the government should have been taking more proactive steps. The U.S. has an inadequate supply of vaccines, and this. If our government doesn’t prioritize more robust vaccine access, the outbreak is going to become an even greater problem. We’ve seen, in recent history, an administration procure a lot of vaccines fast.
I’m really lucky that I’m in a place in my life where I’m housed, have money, and have access to protection. I have a therapist. But I’m really concerned about the queer community and the people who are going to be asked to isolate for three weeks at a time because they tested positive—the people who are going through excruciating pain and don’t have what I have.I want our elected officials to think about these already marginalized people and come up with a plan.
