As I reported last month, the US Gov spent $119 Million to purchase 13 Million doses of Monkeypox vaccine. Perhaps this is justified as 'an abundance of caution'. But I think it's just virtue signaling.
Demographics Control Publicity
As of last week, there have been about 1100 cases worldwide and 25 cases in the United States. It hardly seems like a cause for fear and panic since the disease is NOT easily spread.

In a study by the UK Health Agency, 311 of 314 cases (i.e. 99%) were among men and only 3 cases were female. Among the men, 99% were "gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men" (which sounds redundant to me).
I'm not making any moral judgement here... I'm just saying that this disease is easily avoided and is receiving oversize publicity because it affects the LGBTQxyz community.

Although Monkeypox was discovered among monkeys in 1958, and has been referred to as 'monkeypox' for the past 64 years, the WHO claims that the disease must urgently be renamed because the term 'monkeypox' is stigmatizing.
The proposed, new name will be 'hMPXV' which is much more frightening (but less discriminatory).

In conclusion, when you hear about a deadly new virus called 'hMPXV'... DON'T PANIC.
