As someone who just got their vaccine and in the high risk group: ooof I hope not.
What data points to it being a threat in the 'mainstream' (I don't like that word here) population right now?
here are CA stats [1]; only .8% (mostly identify as cis) female infected.
though it doesn't show demo xtabs over time. so hard to tell if only is growing.
If it spreads through brief contact we'd be screwed..
Let alone if it spreads through droplets and or fomites.

Sad we failed yet again. Especially queer community, and like all things health disproportionally bipoc. seems like we had all the tools & knowledge to stop, or drastically slow, this one but failed.
Seeing photos of pox on people's faces is just truly terrifying.
I really really hope this vaccine works or at least prevents sores like that.
Hard to change behavior to avoid all sex / human touch..
