If you previously got a smallpox vaccine does it provide protection against monkeypox?

I was born in 65 and they vaxxed for until 72 so that’s pretty close but I’m not worried about it because I’m notafag.

I’m certainly no Doctor, but I thought immunity waned over time with the smallpox vax...

Well, then for those of us who avoid the activities which spread monkey pox, we shouldn’t lose any sleep over this.

Short answer: yes

Long answer: regulatory bodies require antibody titers (levels) as proof of immunity. Antibodies decline after vaccination (veterinarians boost for rabies every three years because of this). But antibodies from vaxx are not how vaccines work. They work by creating long-lived memory T cells which when te-exposed cause NEW antibodies to be produced. As to smallpox: in the 1900 London epidemic, persons over 50 years old who were vaccinated as children had 3% mortality, those never vaccinated had 30% mortality.

So, vaccinia (smallpox vaccine) confers very long lasting protection of life across all orthopoxviruses (including monkeypox) but does not prevent mild illness - and if you put monkeypox virus where the sun don’t shine, that mild illness may not be so mild.

Right. If your not a rump ranger then relax and enjoy the old smallpox vax possible immunity, maybe. There’s so much other 💩 to worry about this seems to me to be a no brainer.

Not worried about monkeypox because I don’t engage in behaviors that put me at risk.

Got my smallpox vaccine in 2011 before deploying to Afghanistan. Will not get another, especially not an experimental “vaccine”. I’ll starve this time if I have to.

Both monkeypox vaccines are FDA approved for general use, neither tone is considered experimental.

For the sake of discussion, let’s assume the smallpox vax offers 100% protection. Inconsequential.

The vast majority of homosexual men engaging in this level of promiscuous behavior (I use that word with a chuckle. Having 25 men screw you in the butt over the last week passed promiscuous a long time back) and passing this disease are not mid 50s plus in age. Thus who gives a sh1t about the smallpox vaccine in this situation? The question is essentially irrelevant.

It’s just more dancing around the facts to avoid admitting what is going on. These people are not victims. Not now that they have been told what they do is the cause of the spread. They have given up the right to claim victimhood.

vaxxed for pox

Sound like a good trade name. PoxxVax. Double X for two poxes.

Thats the reality behind the release, isnt it? A test before...wouldnt surprise me. One never knows when one of those free ranging vials might happen to appear in your freezer and accidentally fall out.

Any male who likes pillow shams will definitely get the Curious George Sores, no matter what vaccine they’ve had.
