    In Berlin there has been a case of a 54 y.o. who got monkeypox, but the doctor mentioned that his symptons were negligible to the point of being hard to detect. The man had, of course, been vaccinated against smallpox as a child.

    The roll out of the smallpox vaccine decades ago is an excellent example of what can be accomplished when the entire world comes together on a topic: Virtually 80% of the world got vaccinated against it and we were able to stop when the disease was essentially wiped out. It's a shame that vaccinations have become so politicized lately, or Covid may have succumbed to the same fate and we wouldn't have lost millions of people to it.

      Eradicating Smallpox was one of the biggest wins in public health history and it *definitely* was a different time in terms of trusting medicine, but as someone who works in PH with an epidemiology background it's important to me that we recognize that it wasn't an We're All In This Together effort for all countries and all communities.

    Honestly, any disease breaking out of its usual endemic areas is gonna get atention, not just african diseases. It's like if Dengue or yellow fever suddenly broke out in canada, or if cases of leprosy from asia began appearing across europe. It's not news when a place with endemic diseases has these things. we're just unlucky with where most of them come from.

      They test themselves more is a statement onto itself. Statistically they engage in more risky sexual behavior which could contributed to the transmission of disease.

    I am in Africa in Botswana 🇧🇼 which is in Southern Africa.I have never heard of this disease for all 35 years of my life.I googled recently when I heard about it about it’s origin and all of that..If it was that contagious it could have been in all African countries for all this years..That also makes everything suspicious why is it spreading now in most European countries when they say it originated from some Western African countries but never made it to the South or east of Africa,but spread so fast in Europe…..unless they did something more to it than we know.Also I need to understand is it there in Nigeria and Congo like they claim or it was there only years back so we understand it’s a new kind of pox which we should watch out for…
