As an armchair epidemiologist, virologist, vaccinologist, and immunologist (sure, why not? I can't do worse), I will wager the safe and effective serum is the culprit. I'm no expert but I play one on Substack.

I'm thinking of writing a piece on the monkeypox situation, just mostly looking at a paper everyone tied to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. It does appear this may be zoonotic in nature- at least for the time being. There are questions being raised as to whether monkeypox may have been endemic for some time and we have not noticed it. Maybe our current situation is making itself more pronounced, or it could be an incident of mass exposure like these rave and sex parties.

I would like to know the level of anti-monkeypox antibodies among endemic countries. It could be that we are in such a precarious state, and that we have not necessarily been exposed to monkeypox in the West, that is making us more susceptible.
