So what? It's not an emergency and WHO is full of BS.

Why don’t they just Shock the Monkey?

I asked my Doc about it, he says spanking your monkey regularly can keep...
you from getting the pox.

Wasn't there a study about it reducing cancer?

Let me guess...
Big Pharma will only charge the US 10% of our GNP and will call any inexpensive drug that works a "horse tranquilizer."

Pretty sure it was a horse dewormer but given your post it doesn't seem
like factual accuracy is a concern.

Looks like the real urgency is only in Africa...
...even though the WHO calls is "global."
AbsolutVT03 AbsolutVT03
Yeah it seems like the outbreak is in Africa although we've seen how
quickly an infectious disease can go from being localized in one country/continent to worldwide. Forewarned is forearmed and all that stuff...

Why exactly are we shaking our head at that?

I assume humans? But I don't know that I'm following you...

when it was the hot topic a year or so ago, it was generally (inside)
gay men who had sex with animals. "If" that's true, then I have nothing to worry about. Whether that's accurate or not, I hope nobody has anything to worry about.

Could it be........
how easily a fund raising plan/plea morphs into a world health emergency? In your opinion, what are the pros and cons for the existence of the WHO?
AbsolutVT03 AbsolutVT03
Ok so it's more of an anti-WHO post than anything specific with mpox? Just
wanted to make sure there wasn't more to it.

I do not know.......
the poster's motivation nor was I trying to predict it. Just offered a possibility and, more importantly, asked a question exploring whether there might be reasons for the poster and others not to shake their head at the WHO.
