Has any major health org explained why Congo & Nigeria on lists? I'd like a goddamned scientific explanation.

It's exhausting learning this shit one piece of data at a time. I have to assume it's due to bush meat...

The persistence of the disease in Congo is due to the consumption of dead monkeys and rodents, Dr. Alongo said.

    The reason monkeypox still exists at all is because racist western entities don't give a shit about impoverished black people in West Africa.
