i think that mpox has the biggest chance of being the next HIV/AIDS scare and holding that thought reminds of the conspiracy theorists of the 1980's who said that, that epidemic was manufactured for population control purposes.

i'm one of those conspiracy theorists now. lol

I thought Mpox is rather controllable right now as the smallpox vaccine works on it.

The sole advantage to being as old as dirt is having been vaccinated already.
