>the virus, formerly known as monkeypox
Renaming it mpox didn’t really work if its just getting the prince treatment.
Desperately want the anti vax crowd to catch this and learn a valuable lesion about lesions 😂 i know it’s wrong, I don’t care , they don’t care so they’re fair game . Bring on the POX !

The science on this is quite clear. Extremely unlikely to become endemic in the UK, more or less impossible it will become like COVID.
We’re just prepping because we didn’t last time. The UK population is 70 million. 150k doses is nothing and within the realms of a large scale trial “just in case” it suddenly becomes airborne and deadly, an unlikely combo for a virus.
