The head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed that two U.S. children have contracted the monkeypox virus, saying that the children can be traced back to people from the “gay men’s community.”
“Both of those children are traced back to individuals who come from the men-who-have-sex-with-men community, the gay men’s community,” CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said at a Washington Post-hosted event on Friday.
