5. "Small outbreaks are about it."

And SARS CoV2 was once denied as being a "pandemic" until 3 months after it had been spreading in 114 countries - https://www.who.int/director-general/speeches/detail/who-director-general-s-opening-remarks-at-the-media-briefing-on-covid-19---11-march-2020

And then they declared it was not "spread in the air".

To protect yourself:

And we have had 2 years of "goal post moving" regarding everything to do with SARS CoV-2 and the vaccines developed for it.

One of the issues with Monkey Pox, is that just like the Plague bacteria (Yersinia pestis), where prairie dogs (and other rodents) are very susceptible, so too have prairie dogs contracted Monkey Pox (where a small outbreak in the U.S. just over 10 years ago was associated with transmission from pet prairie dogs).

In reality, what epidemiologists and others need to do is MONITOR how this latest viral outbreak is manifesting (just like they are monitoring the so-called "mysterious" Hepatitis outbreak in young children), and not make hasty, rash and loudly conclusionary statements that end up turning out to be wrong.

This is why the public continues to be confused and distrustful of the scientific and Public Health community.
