> there’s no reason to believe it can only spread among gay men, or that it will continue to do so But epidemiologically, the difference between a disease that only spreads among gay men and a disease that overwhelmingly spreads among gay men is way smaller than the difference between a disease that overwhelmingly spreads among gay men and a disease that spreads with no discernible pattern at all. Just because it can do something else as well doesn't mean that if you want to stop the spread of this as quickly as possible, you shouldn't inform your actions with all the information you know. From the public health perspective, considering the possible consequences, ignoring the information you have would be nearly criminal.
