Pleas provide a valid reference for that opinion. Both the CDC WHO and nearly every other health organization has data on airborne respiratory transmission it’s on the WHO front page monkeypox guidance for healthcare professionals.

“In previous outbreaks, a majority of cases were reported in those who had close contact with an infected patient or animal. But in some instances, airborne transmission was the only explanation for the infections.”
Believe what makes you feel better but the science is clear just like smallpox ,it’s brother monkeypox can spread the same way. Thare is a reason the family attack rate for monkeypox is 60+% sharing the same room with a symptomatic for longer than a few minutes as in over 5 is a sure fire way to pass it on.
The point is to stop a pox virus the health authorities need to contact trace hard and fast, isolated and truly quarantine even the slightest contacts and ring vaccinate those who are in those contacts the existing 100+ year old smallpox vaccine is the same one that stops monkeypox even if given 4 days after exposure. Every human alive in the 1970s got that vaccine it’s tinfoil qtard quackery to think it’s some sinister plot. It’s sound medical epidemiology to isolate and ring vaccinate.
>>It’s sound medical epidemiology to isolate and ring vaccinate.
The problem the medical establishment has got is that after 2-1/2 years of so many lies and mistruths being pushed about Covid, many people don’t trust the medical establishment. So even if the vaccine being used against monkeypox is the very safe smallpox one, people will be leery/questioning.
I cannot read the NYT article as it’s behind a paywall.
I could find no data on the WHO or CDC websites on airborne transmission. Would you be so kind as to provide links?
This WHO webpage states:
Health workers caring for patients with suspected or confirmed monkeypox should implement standard, contact and droplet precautions. These precautions are applicable in any health facility including outpatient services and hospitals. Standard precautions include strict adherence to hand hygiene, appropriate handling of contaminated medical equipment, laundry, waste and cleaning and disinfection of environmental surfaces.
Prompt isolation of suspected or confirmed cases in a single room with adequate ventilation, dedicated bathroom and staff is recommended. Cohort (confirmed with confirmed, suspected with suspected) can be implemented if single rooms are not available, ensuring minimum of 1-meter distance between patients. Recommended personal protective equipment (PPE) includes gloves, gown, medical mask and eye protection – goggles or face shield. The patient should also be instructed to wear a medical mask when they come into close contact (under 1m) with health workers or other patients, if they can tolerate it. Additionally, a bandage, sheet or gown can be used to cover lesions in order to minimize potential contact with lesions. PPE should be disposed of prior to leaving the isolation area where the patient is admitted.
Should aerosol generating procedures (AGPs) (i.e. aspiration or open suctioning of respiratory tract specimens, bronchoscopy, intubation, cardiopulmonary resuscitation), be required for any reason and cannot be delayed, then as a matter of standard practice, a respirator (FFP2 or EN certified equivalent or US NIOSH-certified N95) must be used by health care workers instead of a medical mask.
Isolation and transmission-based precautions should be continued until resolution of symptoms (including the resolution of any rash and scabs that have fallen off and healed).

Note standard practices for airborne diseases (negative pressure room, N95 masks, etc.) are not among the recommendations, except when aerosol generating procedures are being performed.
CDC guidelines are the same:

It’s doubtful one would catch monkeypox from merely being in the room with a symptomatic patient for five minutes. Possible, but not probable.

“Ring Vaccinate?” “Trace hard and fast?” “Isolate?” “Truly” quarantine? Gee, sounds sort of like what they are doing in China...
Your “science” sources? Health authorities? How can you trust the CDC and WHO for much of anything after the COVID fiascoS of past 2.5 years???? Let’s not forget America’s favorite doctor Fauci and his colleague Francis Collins... They all were so spot on with their edicts (so nice to have non-elected bureaucrats who stand to gain financially in charge):
Remember? 2 weeks to bend the curve?!?!? 2 months? 4 months? 6? For sure not 2 weeks in Blue states...Don’t wear masks. Wear masks (making them out of cloth or toweling?). Wear designer masks, Don’t wear masks. Wear 2 masks. 3 masks? Wear N-95 masks. Don’t wear masks. Vaccines provide 95% efficacy...one or 2 shots...except they didn’t and pharma knew. Boosters #1, #2, #3? Breakthrough infections extremely rare—except they are not. Myocarditis among high schoolers/college aged students—oh normal to have athletes keeling over...CDC publishes PSAs about how common heart attacks are...Sure. Science? Maybe “New Normal Science” but I cannot trust those who have been so incorrect or misleading.
Lest we forget, vax mandates for all—except the bureaucracies...
New York Times? Another trustworthy source.
If YOU or anyone else wants to go get vaccinated, have at it, but DON’T force the vax to “ring vaccinate” or mandate it for health care employees, or contact tracing, isolation, or quarantine on everyone else...
BTW, just how life-threatening is this? What is the death rate for Monkey Pox? 6%?
“Tin foil conspiracy qtard theories” you say? Not conspiracy theories if they are true...From these elected and non-elected bureaucrats’ edicts, over past 2 years, we have seen freedom of speech evaporate, our election process “changed” due to massive vote by mail and Zucker ballot boxes, our economy tumble (many businesses will never return), supply chain issues/early inflation in some sectors such as lumber vehicles, and most importantly our children suffer with isolation, zoom learning, masking mandates, and some are still being mandated in some locales to wear masks and/or be vaccinated when COVID is not life-threatening for them. And I am supposed to trust these institutions and bureaucrats now?
Whether you think there was a plot or not, the viruses and vaccines surely have been very beneficial in terms of money and power to certain groups...
Over past 2 years, we learned much about expansion and abuse of power by state, local, and fed government and various agencies and medical institutions—both nationally and globally. And they never stop expanding—Especially when those in charge aren’t strong supporters of freedom and liberty.
Frankly given their track record, I would not be surprised if there is not some “plot” to use Monkey Pox as a way to rejuvenate the vax mandates/vax passport mandates movement...WHO is currently attempting to mandate global vaccine papers and manage global health for all.
We had an outbreak of Monkey Pox in 2003. 47 cases as I recall. The difference from 2003 to now is in the reaction of the government, media, and public. In 2003, No one was talking about “ring vaccination,” isolation, quarantine. Frankly back in 2003, seems we were more capable of dealing with things...
You can focus on the “science” and accuse those with whom you disagree as being “qtards conspiracy theorists,” but I see the danger to our freedom as being far more serious than contracting Monkey Pox or COVID or debating the Monkey Pox transmission routes or vaccines.
Perhaps you’d be more comfortable in Australia, Germany, or Canada. Given their tyrannical COVID compliance track record, I am sure they have plans to implement “sound medical epidemiology” practices you outline.
Enjoy your freedoms while you have them, and enjoy the rest of your night.
