Monkeypox Could Be Making a Comeback

Americans largely learned of monkeypox around the same time that COVID began to die down. Monekypox generally presents itself in the form of nasty fevers and rashes that hurt.

Likewise, the virus has a tendency to spread via bodily fluids and even skin-to-skin contact. While monkeypox usually isn’t lethal, those who become infected can be out of commission for anywhere from a couple of weeks to a month.

A while ago, there was some talk about monkeypox making rounds in the United States, but it seemed to die down. Currently, breaking news from Legal Insurrection reveals that monkeypox may very well be making a comeback.

What’s This About?

According to the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), states such as Florida, Texas, Arizona, Utah, Alabama, Louisiana, and Virginia each saw an uptick in monkeypox cases.

Meanwhile, Illinois makes the top of the list as the state to see the highest surge in monkeypox.

As a result of this, public health officials are stressing the importance of individuals being vaccinated against the virus as a means of protecting themselves. Likewise, outdoor gatherings and more time being spent with others are each viewed as risk factors for the spread of monkeypox.

The Elephant in the Room

On its face, telling everyone to get vaccinated against monkeypox as a means of protecting themselves sounds good.

In reality, the past few years of dealing with COVID revealed that these particular vaccines lacked the effectiveness to stop the spread of the virus and to prevent symptoms in infected persons.

All things considered, many inquiring minds want to know whether or not monkeypox vaccines are effective in stopping the spread and preventing transmission. If they’re not, then it begs to question why anyone should receive these shots, especially given the fact that the virus itself isn’t deadly.
