Birx Praises Extraordinary LGBTQ Community for Preventing Monkeypox Spread
"I trust our LGBT community like no other community of effectively communicating both the science and the data and alerting that network," she told Newsweek.

Dr. Deborah Birx has praised the LGBTQ community for helping prevent the spread of monkeypox. The physician and diplomat told Newsweek the community is "extraordinary responsible" and that the American public can trust it to report new cases, despite the stigma surrounding the latest outbreak.
Monkeypox is currently spreading throughout the globe, with current CDC data showing over 2,100 cases in 37 countries. The U.S. currently has 99 confirmed cases.
So far most—but not all—monekypox cases are among men who have sex with men.
Where to begin?
Not with an explanation of how idiotic it is to credit the LGBTQ community for preventing the spread of Monkeypox. If you don't know that already, this thread probably isn't for you.
Now, technically, the headline is true. Dr. Birx did say that, I'm sure. So, can't accuse Newsweek of lying, exactly. But they are being deliberately deceptive to publish Dr. Birx' lie without a comment.
A more honest headline would have started, "In a show of insanity, Deborah Birx praises . . . " or "In a lame attempt at gaslighting, . . . " or "Inexplicably, . . . . "
