This article is xenophobic because the accusation that monkeypox is coming from mostly foreign men when theres no clear evidence that’s the case. The Thai man had contact with 18 men so how do we know he didn’t forget a few? Of course it first came here from foreigners as did covid but the repeated rant about it coming from foreigners does nothing to improve relations and trust with Thai for those who live here. The Nigerian man was an overstayer so he could’ve caught the pox from a Thai. His case wasn’t the first case in Thailand. How do we know the Belgian man didn’t catch it from a Thai. Look around the widespread male sex industry and you can see how the 2 foreigners could’ve caught it. Also how do they know the Belgian man fled the country?  Very tacky handling of this by the media.

I would suspect that if this man has left the country there would be a record of this happening.

Unless he swam across a river like the other guy.
