Just walked by a 200 person line for the monkey pox vaccine.
Afaik there is no reason to panic about monkey pox if one does not have unprotected gay sex or is involved in prostitution. Transmission through other ways is very rare. Also, it is very rarely deadly in general - miserable but not deadly.
(Don't take my word for it, I'm an idiot. https://gimletmedia.com/shows/science-vs/awhvln4/monkeypox-whats-going-on)
These people in the 200 person line are overreacting. Or really naughty if they can't wait, haha.
