One case in all of united states for a virus that is primarily transferred between rodents and humans and not human to human.

Given that they vaccinate the entire US population against tetanus and give a booster every ten years for a virus that sees 30 cases per year, a vaccination campaign against monkeypox wouldn't be out of the ballpark.

transferred between rodents and humans and not human to human.

I keep seeing this argument, which conveniently and blithely ignores what we all know: that it was trivial for them to engineer covid, a common cold, so why wouldn't they do the same with monkey pox?

They could, but we have no reason to think that they did.
