Monkeypox was always a money grab perpetuated by fear mongering media conglomerates. Those companies found some other "boogeyman" to chew on for the time being. And I'm not denying Monkeypox was real, it was just completely overblown and being used to scare people into clicking on spooky headlines.

- qzx_pierri 4y agoTinfoil hat mindset? I never denied Monkeypox was real. Unless you're denying that the media consistently designs their content to scare people and spread worry. It's a tried and true business strategy - This fact isn't debatable.
