Understanding Monkeypox and Lessons from COVID (w/ Steven Thrasher)

This week, I spoke to Dr. Steven Thrasher, author, assistant professor of journalism, & scholar of the criminalization of HIV/AIDS about Monkey Pox, stigma, and all the lessons we haven't learned from the last two years of COVID pandemic.

listening to this episode was a relief, after more than 2 years on the frontline and as a long-time leftist the absence of a principled and credible left response to the errors made during the Covid-19 pandemic have been painful, watching the Monkeypox outbreak be bungled so badly even more so. As with climate and the economy the left must have a principled program to address health needs if it is to seriously contend for power- that means developing an analysis of health extending beyond a demand for Medicare for all. The climate crisis means an increase in zoonotic illness is our future, on top of that the opioid crisis and falling life expectancy, maternal mortality and more mean that LeftTube would do well to dedicate more attention to the health file. Those who sense that something has gone wrong have few places to turn besides reactionary contrarians and conspiracists on the right. There is ample to criticize from a left perspective and we don’t need to cede so much ground - I can only suppose it’s happened because the left has too few people in media with science proficiency - particularly health science?

Heads up - Bernie is hosting a Q&A with White House Covid response coordinator Ashish Jha tomorrow and is soliciting questions on his FB page. Jha has functionally put a kinder, gentler face on normalizing high levels of infection, illness, and death (200k so far this year). He praised CDC’s decision (after the Delta CEO pushed for it) to slash isolation guidelines in December and he has spoken out against M4A. I hope Bernie will hold him accountable.

I remember Michael Johnson. I went to Mizzou in Columbia, Missouri and he was arrested in Booneville some time after I graduated. I still visited because I had friends in graduate courses. HIV was a scary thing on those campuses and we didn't have PrEP at the time. That being said, I had been a safer sex advocate in college, and I remember how people talked about him as part of gay gossip on those return trips. And how he was a monster for infecting these gay men. But these gay men consented to unprotected sex. They could have asked him if he wanted to use a condom, and they could have said no if he said he didn't want to. I'm glad your guest was able to shed some light on this case. People need to remember that being gay in those times is different now. I still remember the Jesse Valencia murder because of the closeted policeman.

A great discussion. It is sad that the lessons learned from the HIV/AIDS pandemic have not been put into practice during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic because of political partisanship.
