This is when countries need to close their borders

[J.M.]

Please take care, you may have monkeypox and not even realize it. You may be A-Chimptomatic.

The media is at it again, Jesus Christ I am fed up

[angelatakano]

Maybe don’t rub your naked body against that of strangers would help

Lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies

You know it's an important story when they get the boring, middle-aged white guy to tell us about it.

[chamsjadwanb-xzry]

Basically we don't live every 2 years anymore you're going to come out with weird things..

Even in Gaza or Ukraine which are experiencing war and famine have no viral diseases

[ingridmorgan]

Of course it is a global issue. Eyeroll.

[drizzle]

WHO has something to say every election…sounds legit to me

[KittyEmoGoth]

So i wont be quarantining. Just living life normally and staying away from people who can't keep it in their pants (and look bumpy AF)

[leahsymanski]

If it's in Sweden its in the USA for sure.

[jamesblaylock]

Please, terrified general public, just remember that when you took their shots last time, they promised you wouldn’t get sick. Then you did.

[paulpatriot]

With Biden/harris open border policy…. This is will be coming to America soon.

I find the timing of this to be ironic…….

[EndIslamever]

With dinghies arriving every day its not fonna take long is it

[Parasmunt]

To quote the great Freddy Mercury..
I don't have no time for no monkey business.

[marvib]

Already had chickenpox, smallpox, and measles...would I still get this mpox?

[jillfeatherman]

Doctor, you are doing a disservice to ppl by not explaining the high risk behaviors that account for the vast majority of mpox infections.

This whole comment section is the same type of people to say “vaccines are why my kid is dumb” or “the earth is flat”
