A Massachusetts resident has tested positive for monkeypox, health officials confirmed Wednesday, making it the first case of the rare virus detected in the United States this year.
According to a release from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, the patient is an adult male who recently traveled to Canada. The department completed initial testing Tuesday and was confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Kinda like things started to happen with COVID in 2020
2) just look at how fast monkeypox has spread in just a few days. Monkeypox usually is EXTREMELY rare. That’s why the CDC is really worried about this surge because it is so unusual. Yet I see people saying it’s nothing, just like the flu. Do we never learn to follow new data? t.co/Rcsri0Q9o5

I'm not saying we should be concerned about monkeypox but they will never let a good crisis go to waste, as we've observed over the last two years.
So the threat may not be the virus but it could certainly be how they plan to exploit said virus.
