the vaccine for monkey pox is the same one they administer for smallpox- a weakened horsepox virus (which is also related to both monkey pox and cowpox).
they lightly poke you arm like 12 times with a small needle that then develops into a pustule. there's no "liquid injection". they basically scrape your skin with a needle- no deeper.
as a corona vaccine refuser, (I actually refuse most vaccines), this is one vaccine that I'm happy to have had. if you try to get it as a civilian, you typically can't without a really good reason. you will be denied.
they stopped administration of the vaccine to the general public once it was eradicated from the wild so most people outside of the (forward deployed) US military do not carry antibodies for it.
in short, as a corona vaccine refuser, this is one vaccine I would actually try very hard to get, as it's typically not available to civilians and actually exposes you to a real virus that is found in the wild and makes your immune system better (and it's not a liquid injection filled with weird shit like aluminum and Mercury).
Do you think it will be the same vax you got offered? If they roll out something for the masses, I have no doubt they’ll scramble and ruin it first. If it doesn’t injure, it won’t be promoted.
I guess we'll see.
