MPOX which used to be called Monkey Pox but was changed so as not to offend monkeys is in the news. Apparently Bird Flu did not cause much of a frightened reaction so it was switched out just ahead of the November election for Monkey Pox now known as MPOX. I hope this video provides you with the information you might need to make an informed decision as to whether or not to take the Monkey Pox Vaccine.

1. There is no approved vaccine specifically for Monkey Pox. The vaccine the CDC recommends is JYNNEOS, which is a smallpox vaccine that is also effective against Monkey Pox.
2. Why would I? Here are the CDC's indicators, https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/mpox/vaccines/vaccine-recommendations.html :
You had known or suspected exposure to someone with mpox
You had a sex partner in the past 2 weeks who was diagnosed with mpox
You are a gay, bisexual, or other man who has sex with men or a transgender, nonbinary, or gender-diverse person who in the past 6 months has had any of the following:
A new diagnosis of one or more sexually transmitted diseases (e.g., chlamydia, gonorrhea, or syphilis)
More than one sex partner
You have had any of the following in the past 6 months:
Sex at a commercial sex venue (like a sex club or bathhouse)
Sex related to a large commercial event or in a geographic area (city or county for example) where mpox virus transmission is occurring
You have a sex partner with any of the above risks
You anticipate experiencing any of the above scenarios
You are at risk for occupational exposure to orthopoxviruses (e.g., certain people who work in a laboratory or a healthcare facility).
Also, Monkey Pox, for now, is almost entirely breaking out in Africa. In sum, for all WHO's wolf-crying alarmism, I have no current or foreseeable need.
3. a. Why would I care, part 1? I'm not an anti-vaxxer.
3. b. Why would I care, part 2? JYNNEOS is manufactured by Bavarian Nordic, not Bogey-Pfizer or Bogey-Moderna.
3. c. Why would I care, part 3? While I do not at all buy into the anti-Covid-vaxxer-ghoul Died Suddenly baloney-narrative and have zero qualms about Bogey-mRNA vaccine technology, the JYNNEOS vaccine is made using old-school dead/inactivated virus vaccine technology.

When "Monkey Pox" (now called Mpox because it was offensive to monkeys I guess) was first discovered, the evidence was that the #1 primary cause with a bullet was having unprotected anal sex with men and especially strangers. There seems to be some causal effect there, yet how dare one blame the gays.
As a generous estimate that 99% of humans don't have unprotected anal sex with strangers, this impacts such an insignificant percentage of the population to even give a rat fart about. Why it is a World Health Organization priority is beyond me.

I hear they can only administer the monkey pox vax in the recipient's bum. No thanks; had my fill of that when I got my Gamma Globulin shot. :asssmack:

Bavarian Nordic seems less than alarmed by WHO's wolf-crying (or is it monkey-crying?), Drug Company Announces It Will Produce Millions of Mpox Vaccines by Next Year
https://www.theepochtimes.com/health/drug-company-announces-it-will-produce-millions-of-mpox-vaccines-by-next-year-5707114 (https://www.theepochtimes.com/health/drug-company-announces-it-will-produce-millions-of-mpox-vaccines-by-next-year-5707114)
Shares of mpox vaccine maker Bavarian Nordic saw an increase this week after the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a public health emergency and as the company’s CEO announced it could provide 10 million doses of the vaccine.
“We have inventory and we have the capabilities. What we’re missing are the orders,” CEO Paul Chaplin told Bloomberg this week.
The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) previously said it needed 10 million doses to deal with an mpox, also known as monkeypox, outbreak that has spread from the Democratic Republic of the Congo to other African nations. WHO and other health officials say that the strain of mpox appears to be more deadly than another variant that caused a worldwide outbreak in 2022 and 2023.
10 million doses (over a year or two) is not trivial, but if there really is a worldwide epidemic threat it's a really small drop in the bucket of the world's billions of people. Even after the 2022 outbreak, Bavarian Nordic didn't ramp up its production to anything like a worldwide-epidemic scale, so they've right-sized their block of salt.

I think they need to vaccinate all the monkeys first. :thatsright:
