So, it’s not just a STD as many people claim it is?
It never was just an STD! It's still a zoonotic disease. It can spread bi-directionally to and from humans and animals. The CDC and ordinary people need to take this seriously! If it gets established in wildlife outside of Africa, it will become endemic. That would mean requiring vaccinating pets and children against it. And don't forget! The vaccine for Monkeypox is the Smallpox vaccine intended for populations that can't take the regular Smallpox vaccines. In a release of Smallpox as a bioweapon, we would be screwed. There isn't enough packaged for distribution for quick reaction.
Are they no longer vaccinating people for smallpox?? I was vaccinated for smallpox when I was 5 seems to me if they are letting millions in the country from 3rd world nations they would still be vaccinating for smallpox!!
