MONEY Pox May 28. I explain why the Daily Mail "everything you need to know" claims are unsupportable

EVERYTHING you need to know about monkeypox: Strain 'transmits through sex' and is about as deadly as the Wuhan Covid variant — but a vaccine does exist

• Seven cases in UK could be tip of iceberg as health chiefs hunt for common link 
• First time ever spreading in community and appears to be transmitting via sex -- NEW MODES OF TRANSMISSION IN A VERY SLOW-MUTATING DNA VIRUS ARE ESSENTIALLY UNHEARD OF
  
• Can kill one in 10 but milder strain is transmitting in UK, which kills one in 100--THE AUTHORITIES HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE MORTALITY RATE IS BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN SO FEW CASES IN THE WEST AND I HAVE NOT HEARD OF A REPORTED DEATH YET.
  

Moneypox appears to be spreading globally for the first time in an outbreak that has caught health officials off-guard.--MONEY POX DOES NOT SPREAD GLOBALLY,  NEVER HAS, SO IF IT SUDDENLY CHANGED ITS MODE OF SPREAD, THAT IS STRONG EVIDENCE FOR AN ENGINEERED ORIGIN.

The UK has recorded seven cases of the virus but the majority of them are not linked which suggests more are going undetected.  THERE HAVE NEVER BEEN UNLINKED CASES.  IS THERE A NEW ACE-2 RECEPTOR, FURIN CLEAVAGE SITE OR OTHER MECHANISM(S) INTRODUCED TO ENABLE AIRBORNE SPREAD?

Spain and Portugal have also spotted the virus for the first time ever and the US is monitoring six people who were on a flight with a positive case. IF IT TRANSMITS VIA SEX, THEN IT OUGHT NOT TRANMIT VIA AIRPLANES (WHICH INVOLVES TRANSMISSION VIA OBJECTS OR AIR).

Portuguese officials have confirmed five men tested positive and over a dozen more are thought to be infected. HOW ARE CASES BEING CONFIRMED?  IF MONEY POX HAS MUTATED, THEN EXISTING PCR TESTS ARE LIKELY TO NO LONGER BE ACCURATE.

Health chiefs in the UK say the pattern of transmission is 'highly suggestive of spread in sexual networks'.

Until now monkeypox had only been detected in four countries outside of Africa — the UK, US, Israel and Singapore, all of whom had links to Nigeria and Ghana.  SO WHAT HAPPENED SUDDENLY ?

Infections are more common in central and western Africa, where they can result from direct contact with infected animals. THIS IS WHERE MONKEYS AND RODENTS ARE USUAL PARTS OF THE DIET.

Monkeypox can kill up to one in 10 people it infects — but the strain spreading globally is milder and has a fatality rate of about one in 100.  It is impossible to know the fatality rate until you can reliably count the number of cases and number of deaths--until you are able to do that with thousands of cases these numbers are speculation or fearmongering.

That is roughly the same as the first strain of Covid that came out of Wuhan, however vaccines and natural immunity have since made the coronavirus much weaker.  What is the fatality rate of COVID?  Probably 0.15-0.25% but because few of the datasets reliably adjudicate cases, the COVID mortality rate is still not clear.  Do NOT worry about dying from money pox.  We have no idea if money pox is any worse than chicken pox, from which about one (severely immunocompromised) American per year dies.

Monkeypox's similarity to smallpox means jabs and drugs against that virus are also effective...  However, no evidence has been offered to prove this.  Do not get sucked into taking a dangerous smallpox jab that is unproven to prevent money pox.
