People abstaining from promiscuous sexual behavior would help.
IKR! You would think they might have learned something from the AIDS crisis.
True, but I can't control other people. An outbreak of Monkeypox wouldn't have happened 41 years ago when AIDS was discovered, because just about 100% of everyone old enough to be sexually active had been vaccinated against Smallpox. The whole US supply of Smallpox vaccine is controlled by the US Department of Defense. The WHO wanted very strict control of Smallpox vaccines to prevent terrorists and countries from using Smallpox as a bioweapon. Monkeypox has been known to science since about 1960.
