Really good piece Shin, thank you. I've been trying to understand the risks with MPXV and kept seeing fatality rates like 3-5%. Which has had me on edge.

This really puts things in perspective for me. MPXV moves way down on the list of concerns.

One of the other comments indicated that smallpox immunity might apply to MPXV. Is this accurate? Curious because I am a "natural immune" for smallpox.

They vaccinated me four times before they accepted it. My father was also a natural immune for smallpox.
