People are still stupid. There’s no vaccine for that.
No, but if you het a booster every 4 months it will help.
Don't forget your mask.

Direct contact. Not airborne.
Very similar to chicken pox.
What little I could find on cdc was there is no known effective treatment other than letting it run its course. Virus is in the pox family
No stats on deaths related to it

This wouldn’t even be an issue if monkeys weren’t so damn sexy.

They also conveniently did a simulation and a study on a coronavirus pandemic right before covid
How many simulations we're done for diseases that didn't subsequently have a major breakout?

Yeah, by REALLY close contact. The overwhelming proportion of the European cases are gay and bisexual men. In Spain, most of cases are traced to one adult sauna.
Could be fear mongering, I believe absolutely nothing from the majority of the scientific community. They do not believe that it is airborne but say it is theoretically possible and seems like they are having a hard time completely understanding what’s going on. Probably all bs who knows

Health officials are monitoring six people in the U.S., all of whom sat next to a person on a May 3-4 flight from Nigeria to London who eventually developed the virus, the CDC told Fortune on Wednesday in an emailed statement. The global monkeypox cases are “atypical and, in fact, unprecedented,” Eric Toner, senior scientist and health security expert with the Johns Hopkins

Such extensive person-to-person spread is not normal for the virus, he said. The pathogen is typically transmitted from human to human through close contact or large respiratory particles and is difficult to catch, with household transmission rates around 10% or lower. Scientists have still not, however, determined how the recent cases are being transmitted, as a virus usually limited to Africa spreads around the globe, with cases reported in the UK, Spain, Portugal, Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, and Sweden. “Until recently, most monkeypox cases in countries where the virus is not normally found had a direct link to ongoing monkeypox activity in Nigeria via travelers who visited Nigeria and returned to their home country,” Rao said. “The recent clusters in other countries are a new phenomenon that we are working to understand better.”

Airborne transmission of monkeypox is “theoretically possible,” according to the CDC. Toner said he hasn’t seen evidence that suggests such transmission, “but we will continue to learn over the next several days.”

They did this in 2019-2021. They simulated a monkeypox epidemic to hit the world starting in May 2022
In the software world we call this a “dry run”. Test/dev. Always a dry run before the event.
ETA: just tying it back to our buddy will g@tes
