The arrival in the Lone Star State of monkeypox raises an interesting question: what's the best pox?
Vote below!
Monkeypox usually provides at least some immunity to smallpox so in the past, when there were smallpox epidemics, people would deliberately infect themselves with monkeypox if they could. Monkeypox is not pleasant but it is rarely fatal as smallpox could be.

Cowpox also provides some immunity against smallpox. In 17th and 18th centuries, people noticed that milkmaids rarely came down with smallpox and eventually figured out that most of them had immunity because of their exposure to cowpox.

I had no idea there were so many types of pox. I’ll be in bed with my blankets over my head.

It’s true Dee Plorable. God gave the example of the fair milk maids to demonstrate the importance and acceptableness of vaccines. Antivaxxers are the spawn of Satan espousing an argument against natural theology.

We have a competent CDC again and they will irradicate this early as Plump should have done with Covid. Like Obama did with SARS.

Does this come from monkeys? Does this mean chicken pox comes from chickens and small pox come from smalls?

Smallpox is my favourite pox. If it makes a return, I'm hoping that the Covid anti-vaxxers also refuse the smallpox vaccine. That'd really thin their ranks.

No 'A pox on your house' as your favorite pox, OP?
