|- There's already an existing, safe and effective vaccine    - It's
|usually mild (99.9%)  - It's usually only dangerous to those with
|compromised immune systems   - It primarily spreads through skin-skin
|contact with someone who is shedding the virus through a visible rash 
|In other words, no need to freak out.

|This is Clade Ib, a new, more virulent form of the virus. It spreads
|through close contact with someone who is infected, which includes,
|for example, through sex, skin-to-skin contact and talking or
|breathing close to another person. This isn’t the same as Clade I,
|which was a milder form that was also declared a global health
|emergency.

|That doesn’t mean it’s not an emergency situation. There are many

|of ease like you may. There are also hundreds of millions, perhaps
|even into the buildings that would have no idea what mpox looks
|like, symptoms, or how it can be transmitted. By declaring it an
|emergency it causes those of us like me for example to read up on
|stuff, and pause for thought, and do a little reading into the

|You have to be right in someone's personal space where actual

|risk of catching that way is exceedingly low
|u/Ph0ton - 1 month
|
|The point is ignoring transmission through droplets from
|breathing is just as much of an problem as equating it to be
|airborne. There are many diseases that are not transmitted
|through breath at all and this represents a significantly
|different risk from skin-skin contact we've all been informed
|on.

|Ivermectin is not just a deworming medication for horses, but also
|a very important drug for humans, listed on the WHO's list of
|essential medicines. The fact that it does not work against COVID
|is clear, but I always find it a bit strange that the drug is

|Here's the problem with it, you had two groups of extreme
|opinions shouting about it and guess what? Both appear to be
|wrong, there is some evidence ivermectin stops covid from
|replicating. The problem is by the time you know you have covid
|ivermectin won't help. The end result is we only somewhat
|recently are finding out definitively what if any effect it has
|on covid so it was scientifically silly to take it or higher
|veterinary versions because some dude on the Internet said so.
|It would be one thing if a clinician prescribed it because they
|presumably would be aware of your med list and general health to
|know if the possible benefits out way any possible downside.

|Ivermectin is commonly prepared, dosed, packaged, and used as an

|This is misinformation, because it's not in regards to the specific
|strain being discussed here. According to the WHO >Since the start
|of the year, there have been more than 13,700 cases of the disease in
|the DR Congo, with at least 450 deaths. Although mortality is over
|inflated due to on reported cases, the above number is a mortality
|rate of 3.2% which is quite high. Half of all deaths have been
|children, so it shouldn't be treated as strictly an STD. According to
|the BBC: >In cases in DR Congo to date, the new strain has a
|mortality rate of 4% in adults and 10% in children. There is, as you
|mentioned a "safe, effective vaccine".

|Mpox is not usually deadly, but I wouldn’t call it mild either. I’m
|gay and had the vaccine during the U.S. breakout a couple of years
|ago. Though I’ve never had mpox, I know people who did and the pain
|was excruciating for them. The rashes also left permanent scarring all
|over their bodies. I wouldn’t say there’s no need to freak out, it’s a
|painful and miserable virus. There’s also the concern about the
|vaccine being available for another U.S. breakout. It’s more available
|than it was a couple of years ago - but I don’t think there’s enough
|supply to handle a nationwide epidemic.
|u/phanfare - 1 month
|
|>It's usually mild (99.9%)  In that its not lethal yeah. But those
|pox sores are horrifically painful and can get large and infected. I
|know people that got it and from their descriptions I wouldn't call it
|mild. A few days after my second vaccine I caught it - but only got
|one small sore that didn't form a lesion (thankfully). But even that
|one small sore was not fun.

|The slur has nothing to do with the name (although there are people

|construed as discriminatory and racist. The U.N. health agency
|said in a statement Monday that mpox was its new preferred name

|for the next year while the old name is phased out. WHO said it

|It's named monkey pox because it was originally found in monkeys

|The UN and WHO caved in to pressure from activist groups and activist
|scientist groups in particular, who claimed that the term was causing
|stigma for Africa as the source for man diseases. They’ve also been
|pushing to remove location names from the names of diseases (like
|Zaire Ebola virus). You can read their arguments in articles like
|[this one](https://asm.org/Articles/2021/May/Why-Scientists-Should-
|Not-Name-Diseases-After-Plac). Personally I do think the stigma is
|bad, because a lot of disease is caused by poverty and that’s not the
|fault of African countries who never climbed out of the effects of
|brutal colonialism. But, it also does seem inaccurate and unscientific
|to “hide” the origin of diseases geographically, especially when

|Yea, the geographical part is highly questionable to me. If it is

|u/Nighthawk700 - 1 month

|Nah, naming disease is more or less arbitrary. We don't call it
|small pox because it comes from the small region of France. Since we
|can clearly choose between animal origin, regional origin, the
|physical description of the lesions a disease causes, the color
|change the skin experiences, or any other arbitrary characteristics
|of diseases we can take care not to make a bad situation
|unnecessarily worse. The best argument you can make for flus is
|that their symptoms are largely the same so you can't hone in on an
|ailment to distinguish it, but this one causes lesions that are
|different from the other poxes and we could've easily just called it
|big pox or even a colloquial version of a typical Latin name
|assigned to most viruses. Last thing I'll say is that the origin of
|the virus being in the name doesn't do anything for the regular
|person beyond trivia. I don't forget to cook chicken through because
|I think salmonella only exists on salmon. Racists may make the
|monkey connection and start using it in a shitty way but we don't

|In general, there's no correlation between lethality and transmission.
|They can be inverse of each other, or coupled, and it has everything
|to do with the particular nuances of the disease/vector in question.
|That being said, diseases with high lethality *tend to spread slower*,
|because if the host dies quickly, then 1. responses tend to be way
|more dramatic/aggressive (if Covid had a 50% lethality, people
|probably would have respected the lockdowns more) 2. if the host dies,
|that makes it harder to engage in behaviors that spread the disease.
|So *I guess* you could describe there being a slight inverse
|relationship between lethality and transmission, but that has
|everything to do with how humans/other animals *respond behaviorally
|to* the disease, and less to do with the disease itself.
