Despite there being a huge number of fisters worldwide, we are still a small community. I occasionally run across a greedy hole that makes me shake my head every single time I see him.
When mPox first found its way to America shortly after its initial debut at the Darklands festival in Belgium, gay men were advised to reduce their sexual interactions and close contact with other gay men. Darklands is in February, Maspalomas pride is in May. Dumbass Greedy Hole (name changed to protect the incredibly stupid) flew to San Francisco to get the mPox vaccine four days before travelling to Maspalomas. In San Francisco, he waited in line 10 hours to get the vaccine.
About a week after returning from Maspalomas, he mentioned in the local chat group that the mPox vaccine doesn’t work and he was pissed he stood in line 10 hours for the vaccine only now to be covered in mPox lesions. Surely he heard the San Francisco clinic worker tell him that the vaccine doesn’t provide any measurable immunity until two weeks after the second dose, which is administered 28 days after the first dose. Surely he heard the clinic worker caution him about random, sexual encounters between administration date and peak protection.
Nope: too desperate to wait and too stupid to listen. As an introverted and opinionated fister, it’s hard not to loathe these types.
