Because the moron doesn't know what he's talking about, by the way Leprosy is caused by a bacteria not a virus moron. And in some cases Leprosy can take many years to show symptoms because it's a very slow growing bacteria. The new MP virus is mutating at 12 times the rate of the old variant and is highly infectious by simple touch or contaminated surfaces.
If you're so scared then by all means run and hide.
I'm going to live my life and not get whipped into a panic everytime WHO declares a world health crisis. Over the last few decades it was SARS, Bird Flu, Smallpox, Ebola, etc... The only thing that rose to the level where the masses of the public should be concerned was Covid. I evaluated that and realized it was a serious threat so I did what any intelligent person would do and take measures available to protect myself. Those measures included getting vaccinated, boosted, masking up, avoiding crowds, etc...
Monkeypox is not covid. As I said, it's been around for 70 years. Now 16,000 people in high risk categories have it. I'm not running for the hills over it. You do as you please.
I don't need to call people names to make my point. That's a sign of a weak argument. If you got nothing else then resort to name calling.
