MONKEYPOX - France has entered the chat 👇🏼 France says first suspected case of monkeypox detected in Paris region https://nationalpost.com/pmn/health-pmn/france-says-first-suspected-case-of-monkeypox-detected-in-paris-region
People thought the COVID 19 vaccine was bad, the smallpox one makes it look like nothing in comparison in terms of side effects. Even something like eczema prevents you from getting it. That's 20% of children and 3% of adults that won't be able to get such a vaccine. And, like I said, a mass vaccination campaign of 300 million vaccinated will kill around 4000 people in the US. Still much better than the death rate of a monkeypox outbreak of that size, that would kill between 9 and 18 million people.
There's also a very effective smallpox antiviral, but it's not being produced widely at the moment.
Me reading this as someone who has a million eczema triggers and is currently going through a flare-up thats making my skin peel off :side-eye-1::side-eye-2:

Let's hope that the monkeypox doesn't spread ...

I was just saying that IIRC the antiviral has pretty nasty side-effects. I deleted it because I wasn't sure if I was right.
I mean it probably does, but as with smallpox and monkeypox itself, the side effects will be preferable to going though an infection without treatment
