Can’t wait for us to try nothing to stop this and then be all out of options with a disease that has an up to 10% mortality rate in certain strains :covid-cool:

Good news: smallpox vax is ~85% effective against monkeypox, monkeypox tends to be less transmissible than other poxes

Bad news: young people tend to no longer be vaccinated for smallpox, human to human transmission of monkeypox is rare which means we are likely dealing with a new strain (of all cases in Britain, only one has recently been to west Africa but no other patients have or have been in contact with the patient who travelled)

    The whole anthrax thing is unbelievably sus. The anthrax was a particular kind of weaponized form that could've only come from a US bio """defense""" lab ala Detrick and it ended up in the mail of key politicians and media figures.
