In the study, a group of Portuguese researchers analyzed the first monkeypox sequence publicly released on May 20, along with 14 additional sequences released before May 27.
Researchers discovered around 50 genetic variations in the viruses, a figure six to 12 times higher than previous studies of other orthopoxviruses, a family of viruses to which monkeypox belongs.
The study said the mutation rate may suggest a case of “accelerated evolution.”
Monkeypox can infect anyone, but a number of the cases in the US and Europe have been found in gay men, leading health officials to push to raise awareness in the community even as tests remain scarce and only people who meet strict criteria like having lesions can even get tested.

It can’t affect anybody, because not everybody is willing to form a single gender beast with two backs.

“accelerated evolution.”
Is that anything like “gain of function”?

Too bad for the homos. But, we’ll probably be fed non-stop propaganda about how “anybody” can get monkeypox and how it’s a world wide crisis requiring billions of dollars in taxpayer funding. Just like with the AIDS “crisis” in the 80s. Just think if all that money had been poured into Cancer research instead of funding people putting their junk in other people’s butts.

This one is just not catching on. They would have more success with another COVID-19 variant.
