Coming off COVID pandemic new monkeypox cases are causing some alarm. The fact that the principal transmission mode is through physical contact of open sores on both sides and not an airborne virus.

In any case, I really don't understand why this post was moved from the "Off-Topic" section to the Financial section. It was a bit weird even there- it seems totally out of place over here.

I'm surprised that an article from ZeroHedge made it on to MFO. ZeroHedge is well known to be a vile Russian troll farm spouting all kinds of far right rhetoric and lies to further Russia's objectives. I'm glad that others on this thread have also called out ZeroHedge ...
We once had a poster here that used ZH often to further his political talking points, even after the Russian proxy slant was brought up. I think he changed his name and doesn't post to often anymore.
