ITV News published this video item, entitled “‘When I was sick with monkeypox, what got me through was knowing I wasn’t alone’ | ITV News” – below is their description.
When Martin Joseph got monkeypox, he didn’t think eight weeks later he’d be hosting a podcast about it. In fact, he doesn’t want to.
“I would love to not have to produce a podcast with all the information, I would love to not have people messaging me and say that they found the information out from my podcast”.
Martin says he feels he has to be producing content that gives information and shares resources about monkeypox – blaming what he says is a relative lack of attention from authorities and the media.
“There was a moment, right when monkeypox hit, when we saw it everywhere and it said ‘monkeypox, the new Covid, it’s coming’. And then they went ‘oh it’s only affecting gay people – don’t worry about that, don’t panic’.”
