#4 About monkeypox: although the infection is ugly and distressing (not to mention revealing about behaviours that in too much of the world are safer left unannounced), would it — like Dr. Edward Jenner discovered about milkmaids and cowpox — confer immunity to the much nastier smallpox?

Interestingly, according to the FDA they approved a joint smallpox/monkeypox vaccine in 2019 — for at-risk adults only — in response to the first reported monkeypox outbreak in the US, which occurred in 2003 and was the first reported outbreak outside of Africa.

#9 Or its a bullshit election campaign ploy to condition the stage for a record number of mail-in ballots.

Now, Crissy Wiggins could be using it as cover for Monkey Pox.
