I'm currently reading Pandemic by Sonia Shah (see also her The Fever on malaria): * https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250118004 https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250118004 * https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23847947-pandemic https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23847947-pandemic In it she mentions monkeypox: * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkeypox_virus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkeypox_virus Seems that it has made the jump to humans, and those who were vaccinate against smallpox are somewhat protected against it.
