id="c-Gtoffoletto-20220803124100-Precise_statistics_vs._qualitative_description_for_MSM_case_%"></span>I am creating this section as a place to focalize discussion among regular editors of this page for how to treat the data on MSM cases. </p><p><b>Purpose:</b> This section is exclusively to discuss reporting of this data in light of Wikipedia's standards. It is not a place to discuss whether or not a certain way of treating this data is harmful to MSM. Those interested in exploring the question of whether one form of reporting or another causes harm or stigma can do so in another section. Inclusion of that topic in this thread will be deleted, but again, editors can feel free to create another section on this talk page to raise those issues. </p><p><b>Motivation:</b> this has probably been the most contentious part of the article, at least on the talk page. Now, there appears to be disagreement among the regular editors of the talk page about whether to include the precise published statistics (97% of cases in the MSM community) or the qualitative description (i.e. "most, but not exclusively in the MSM community"). For example, I had included the 97% figure, and other editors had updated it. Then another editor altered it to the qualitative description. </p><p><b>Argument for precise statistics on prevalence in MSM community</b> </p><p>I think there is sound reasoning for each choice. However, I think that we ought to prioritize the precise statistic, because it is reported by reputable sources (i.e. the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2207323">New England Journal of Medicine</a>), and because it is more informative. The lead ought to zero in a reader on the most salient characteristics of the outbreak, and the 97%-98% figure does this much more effectively than the qualitative description. </p><p>Note that the qualitative description also implies a percent figure - it's just that the percent figure it implies (excluding decimals) is the range of "51%-99%". So we are really making a choice between whether to include the most accurate and precise reputable data available, or a range that is less precise. </p><p>One argument for using the wider range is that the disease may spread through the rest of the population. While this is a real concern, and we could include this point in the lead, we should base the statistic on current prevalence in the MSM population to better reflect the current state of the outbreak, not speculations about its future course. Furthermore, including the more precise statistical information will allow readers to track spread of the outbreak beyond the MSM population, when and if that occurs. By contrast, "most, but not all" would not allow a reader to tell if monkeypox was becoming more prevalent outside the MSM community until cases among the MSM population fell below 50%. It would also require us to make a call on whether and when monkeypox has spread far enough beyond the MSM population to be worthy of comment, while simply reporting the most up-to-date statistics can give a more objective and fine-grained way for the reader to parse that question. </p><p><b>Argument for qualitative description on prevalence in MSM community</b> </p><p><i>A regular editor who supports the qualitative approach can add their viewpoint here.</i> The precise statistic is based on a single primary study that was done early in the outbreak and is based on a limited number of cases. This statistic does not imply any conclusion regarding the disease or the outbreak other than the fact that initially the virus has been spreading among the MSM community. It suffers from severe <a href="/wiki/Sample_bias" class="mw-redirect" title="Sample bias">sample bias</a> and is therefore heavily misleading (most people will think "98% is almost all so it doesn't affect ME" which is false). </p><p>Also it is clearly against the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:MEDRS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:MEDRS">WP:MEDRS</a> policy as we are basing this statistic on a single study. We should stick to what the WHO and other reputable <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:MEDRS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:MEDRS">WP:MEDRS</a> sources report which is something of the sort: <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1248585704">@media screen{html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .inline-quote-talk{color:#00B785}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .inline-quote-talk{color:#00B785}}.mw-parser-output .inline-quote-talk{font-family:Georgia,"DejaVu Serif",serif;color:#008560;quotes:none}.mw-parser-output .inline-quote-talk-italic{font-family:inherit;font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output .inline-quote-talk-marks{quotes:"\"""\""}</style><q class="inline-quote-talk">According to the WHO, reported cases so far "have involved mainly, but not exclusively, men who have sex with men".</q><a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="https://www.who.int/emergencies/situations/monkeypox-oubreak-2022">[1]</a>. </p><p>In general, the fact that the virus initially spread in the MSM community is notable due to the coverage it received but we should give it <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:DUE" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:DUE">WP:DUE</a> weight. Anyone can get this virus so is it really medically relevant that initially it spread among MSM? Or should we just keep a reference to this in the History section?

A quick look at several produces these mentions of MSM/transmission during sexual contact: <ul><li>PMID 35760647 – "most of the cases"</li> <li><a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9321130/">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9321130/</a> – "the vast majority of the affected are young or middle-aged men who have sex with men (MSM) and had recent sexual contact with new or multiple partners"</li> <li><a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9278444/">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9278444/</a> – "mainly involve individuals identified as men who have sex with men"</li></ul></dd> <dd>Since I've found exactly zero MEDRS-style sources that mention specific numbers, I suggest that it might be best for us to follow their lead and also not mention specific numbers. I therefore would classify my current view as <b>qualitative</b>. The other advantage to the qualitative approach is that it won't need to be updated every time a new paper publishes a somewhat different number.</dd> <dd>More specifically, I find the longer description appealing, since: <ul><li>"vast majority" indicates that relevant range for "majority" is not just anywhere between 50.01% and 99.99%, but somewhere close to top end of the possible range. (Different people could interpret "vast majority" in different ways, but in my experience, it's frequently understood as >90% and never as less than 75%.)</li> <li>This source simultaneously indicates two other relevant risk factors: "young or middle-aged" and "recent sexual contact with new or multiple partners". The vast majority aren't MSM; the vast majority are MSM <i>and</i> too young to have been vaccinated against smallpox <i>and</i> in high-risk situations for getting any sexually transmitted disease. People who don't have all three of those characteristics are lower risk.</li></ul></dd> <dd>About age, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9208705/">another source</a> (not labeled as a review in PubMed) says "The sex distribution of cases in the current outbreak shows a strong bias, with more than 95% of cases found in young men (< 40 years). Spread among men who have sex with men (MSM) has been noted, but heterosexual intercourse should also be considered." This source puts more emphasis on age than on sexual orientation. <a href="/wiki/User:WhatamIdoing" title="User:WhatamIdoing">WhatamIdoing</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:WhatamIdoing" title="User talk:WhatamIdoing">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:2022%E2%80%932023_mpox_outbreak/Archive_3#c-WhatamIdoing-20220804230500-Gtoffoletto-20220803124100" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">23:05, 4 August 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-WhatamIdoing-20220804230500-Gtoffoletto-20220803124100"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-WhatamIdoing-20220804230500-Gtoffoletto-20220803124100"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Endwise-20220805033000-WhatamIdoing-20220804230500"></span>I think now that you, Gtoffoletto, and I have all indicated our support for a qualitative description in the lead, I would say that we have consensus for it.

This is a common complaint about the article that I have no evidence it ever said. What people have been reading is a sentence which observes that ~97% of cases have been found in <a href="/wiki/Men_who_have_sex_with_men" title="Men who have sex with men">men who have sex with men</a>. For multiple reasons, that's a far cry from saying it "only affects gay men", and yet there have been multiple posts on the talk page with people misreading it as such. It's one thing to have disagreements about how to synthesize the information, it's another thing entirely to make claims about the article saying something that it objectively does not. <a href="/wiki/User:Sunshineisles2" class="mw-redirect" title="User:Sunshineisles2">Sunshineisles2</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Sunshineisles2" title="User talk:Sunshineisles2">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:2022%E2%80%932023_mpox_outbreak/Archive_3#c-Sunshineisles2-20220801162900-Absolutely_absurd_and_made_up_statistics." class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">16:29, 1 August 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Sunshineisles2-20220801162900-Absolutely_absurd_and_made_up_statistics."></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Sunshineisles2-20220801162900-Absolutely_absurd_and_made_up_statistics."></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Gtoffoletto-20220801164000-Sunshineisles2-20220801162900"></span>Yeah I agree.

Either way, we ought to form a consensus on policy in this regard. </p><p>I think only non-endemic West African clade MPX ought to be listed, as this reflects norms in mainstream news coverage. For example, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/12/health/monkeypox-deaths-research/index.html">CNN's Aug 12th article</a> opens with " Out of tens of thousands of monkeypox cases around the world this year, there have been a dozen deaths linked to the virus, and for the first time, some of them have been outside Africa, in countries where the virus doesn’t usually spread." No mention of the dozens of deaths from MPX in endemic countries. This to me suggests that, for the public, the MPX outbreak is a distinct phenomenon from endemic MPX, and we ought not conflate deaths from endemic MPX with deaths due to the outbreak. <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:AllAmericanBreakfast&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:AllAmericanBreakfast (page does not exist)">AllAmericanBreakfast</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:AllAmericanBreakfast" title="User talk:AllAmericanBreakfast">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:2022%E2%80%932023_mpox_outbreak/Archive_3#c-AllAmericanBreakfast-20220814191300-Debating_policy_on_listing_endemic_vs._non-endemic_deaths" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:13, 14 August 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-AllAmericanBreakfast-20220814191300-Debating_policy_on_listing_endemic_vs._non-endemic_deaths"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-AllAmericanBreakfast-20220814191300-Debating_policy_on_listing_endemic_vs._non-endemic_deaths"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Death_toll_should_include_non-endemic_countries_only" data-mw-thread-id="h-Death_toll_should_include_non-endemic_countries_only-20220814191900"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Death_toll_should_include_non-endemic_countries_only-20220814191900"></span>Death toll should include non-endemic countries only<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Death_toll_should_include_non-endemic_countries_only-20220814191900"></span></h2><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-AllAmericanBreakfast-20220814191900-Death_toll_should_include_non-endemic_countries_only"></span>Please leave this section in place to inform future editors of this article. </p><p>Monkeypox has two clades: West African, and Congo Basin. As per the WHO, this outbreak is caused by West African clade, not Congo Basin clade. </p><p>Each clade is endemic in a different set of countries. "Endemic" means that the disease is regularly found in that nation. </p><p>The current West African clade outbreak, which is the subject of this article, is defined as the spread of monkeypox infections in NON-endemic countries. In other words, what makes this an "outbreak" is that we are finding the disease in countries where it is not usually found. </p><p>For this reason, it is incorrect to list infections or deaths in countries where monkeypox is endemic. It is also incorrect to list infections or deaths due to the Congo Basin clade, which is currently limited to countries where Congo Basin is endemic, and is not part of the outbreak. Only deaths caused by West African clade monkeypox in NON-endemic countries should be listed here. </p><p>It is important not to mix this up, because it will paint a deeply misleading picture of where, and, by implication, why people are dying. </p><p>Note that I have also created a "debate" section on this policy below, as it is being inconsistently followed and I'm not sure whether this is due to a difference of opinion or negligence. <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:AllAmericanBreakfast&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:AllAmericanBreakfast (page does not exist)">AllAmericanBreakfast</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:AllAmericanBreakfast" title="User talk:AllAmericanBreakfast">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:2022%E2%80%932023_mpox_outbreak/Archive_3#c-AllAmericanBreakfast-20220814191900-Death_toll_should_include_non-endemic_countries_only" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:19, 14 August 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-AllAmericanBreakfast-20220814191900-Death_toll_should_include_non-endemic_countries_only"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-AllAmericanBreakfast-20220814191900-Death_toll_should_include_non-endemic_countries_only"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-73.126.133.15-20220814231400-AllAmericanBreakfast-20220814191900"></span>The WHO has changed it so now, their isn´t any confusion between ¨non-endemic¨ and ¨endemic¨ <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/73.126.133.15" title="Special:Contributions/73.126.133.15">73.126.133.15</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:73.126.133.15" title="User talk:73.126.133.15">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:2022%E2%80%932023_mpox_outbreak/Archive_3#c-73.126.133.15-20220814231400-AllAmericanBreakfast-20220814191900" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">23:14, 14 August 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-73.126.133.15-20220814231400-AllAmericanBreakfast-20220814191900"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-73.126.133.15-20220814231400-AllAmericanBreakfast-20220814191900"></span></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="WHO_now_includes_both_endemic_and_non-endemic_cases_as_part_of_the_outbreak" data-mw-thread-id="h-WHO_now_includes_both_endemic_and_non-endemic_cases_as_part_of_the_outbreak-20220815215500"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-WHO_now_includes_both_endemic_and_non-endemic_cases_as_part_of_the_outbreak-20220815215500"></span>WHO now includes both endemic and non-endemic cases as part of the outbreak<span data-mw-comment-end="h-WHO_now_includes_both_endemic_and_non-endemic_cases_as_part_of_the_outbreak-20220815215500"></span></h2><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-AllAmericanBreakfast-20220815215500-WHO_now_includes_both_endemic_and_non-endemic_cases_as_part_of_the_outbreak"></span>As an anonymous commenter pointed out, the WHO is now covering both endemic and non-endemic MPX cases as part of the outbreak.

Though alternate names such as “MPOX” have been prematurely adopted in certain locales, and even seems to be done so with good intentions (destigmatization, harm reduction, misinformation reduction, etc.), the fact remains that the official global source for such a name change has not indicated any change at this time. If Wikipedia were to prematurely use a different name for the virus at such a high page level, it could hinder people’s ability to access basic information on this global health topic.

The agency’s emergency committee will reconvene in three months to reassess the situation." So the WHO have not declared this outbreak "over", which they have the authority to do. The <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://monkeypoxreport.ecdc.europa.eu/">ECDC</a> continue to monitor the outbreak as of March 2023. An exception to this list would be <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/mpox/response/2022/index.html">CDC</a> who currently refer to it as the "2022 Outbreak" (though they very much use the mpox name) and the CDC declared the US outbreak over in February. So one could perhaps argue that the US outbreak article(s) could drop the -23 suffix based on the CDC source alone, but I think that is likely to cause confusion per <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:CONSISTENT" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:CONSISTENT">WP:CONSISTENT</a> and the CDC may end up falling into line with their colleagues as they continue to update their pages on the outbreak. -- <a href="/wiki/User:Colin" title="User:Colin">Colin</a>°<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Colin" title="User talk:Colin"><sup>Talk</sup></a></li> <li><b>Support</b> move to mpox from monkeypox per the same reasons and consensus at the main article discussion. <a href="/wiki/User:SandyGeorgia" title="User:SandyGeorgia"><b>Sandy</b><span style="color: green;">Georgia</span></a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:SandyGeorgia" title="User talk:SandyGeorgia">Talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:2022%E2%80%932023_mpox_outbreak/Archive_3#c-SandyGeorgia-20230308105600-Iggy_the_Swan-20230228214500" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">10:56, 8 March 2023 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-SandyGeorgia-20230308105600-Iggy_the_Swan-20230228214500"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-SandyGeorgia-20230308105600-Iggy_the_Swan-20230228214500"></span></li> <li><b><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Bondegezou-20230308114700-Iggy_the_Swan-20230228214500"></span>Comment</b> I first proposed this change and remain of the same view.
