What's about China, Russia and India? Any cases of mpox there?
阿門阿門
so we could wipe the pox out over a number of years. Maybe but are too cheap to do so. (ie ignore deaths in other places)
@@clo5282 so.. How did it show up in people that didn't go to/from Africa?
"Entertained" come on man. Let's not pretend this channel has a single subscriber over 7.17 million. This isn't entertainment this is education. Entertainment is Tinder, Instagram, alcohol and you get the idea.
Monkey pox is a type of shingles and shingles is a side affect of the COVID vaccine. Says so right on the paperwork.
This man said that some of the attention is only because it's spreading to places that aren't Africa. This is the most honest statement I've heard all year.
And Colombian hippos get more international attention than African hippos for the exact same reason. What's your point?
@@AtarahDerek wait what’s your point?
@@pamplantsmn5879 You're acting surprised that we're concerned about an invasive species that has escaped and propagated beyond its native habitat. We would also be concerned if malaria suddenly returned to areas where it had been wiped out.
@@AtarahDerek The point is that, because humans tend to kinda suck a bit, poor countries get less attention from the media and the public when bad stuff happens in them then when the same bad stuff happens in richer countries.
Yeah for the same reason asian giant wasp didn't get attention until they showed up in California and my bed didn't get attention until it appeared on my neighbor's roof. We pay attention to things when they're not where they're supposed to be.
Like, I get what you're trying to say. But this isn't actually relevant here.
Thank you Sci-Show for being highly responsible at not blowing these infections out of proportion, and looking on the hopeful side of things.
@Dr Stone what
Way to turn a science channel into a political harbor. How great it is when you put the two together.
@@KennethAnimates did you reply to the wrong comment? I fail to see how anything in the original comment has anything to do with yours.
@@IanGrams might have been a comment that's since been deleted
@@TheHammy2211 true, that could be the case. Seems that happened for the first reply but Kenneth's didn't have any @ so I assumed it was directed at the original comment. But he might have just not known how or forgot to reply to a specific comment.
Really liked the way you covered this. I think it's important in a post covid era there is access to free and non bias information on topics like this.
You'd be amazed, some far right Christians would view this as biased information
low bias*
being unbiased in next to inpossible and anyone who claims otherwise does not yet know how journalism & human minds work
@@DomyTheMad420 ah yes, anyone who disagrees with me obviously doesn't know how the human mind works. Get over yourself you condescending prick. This was an unbiased report no matter what YOU claim and we need more of that.
*No bias FTFY 😊
to believe sci show is completely unbiased is a dangerous belief to hold.
A simple way to see a person/company's true allegiance, is look at the funding.
but even then, people dont know what to make of this information.
Again, it comes down to the indiviual to find answers.
Its not like sci show is gonna tell everyone they're funded by shady people that do shady things behind shady companies.
To conclude, im not saying sci show is completely false, but be wary of the information they provide, because it is very much biased and not 100% accurate.
Thanks all. Never said this was my Bible, just liked their approach to topics like this. Appreciate your feedback nonetheless.
Can we just appreciate how much of a boss Hank is? The dude is a freakin' hustler. I can't imagine how he isn't so burnt out, from what I understand about how much work he has specifically put into all this.
Props to you Hank, you and everyone at the show are greatly appreciated! Love your work!
Hank the Hustler!!!!
He might have a good team working with him
He has actually talked about it in his vlogs before. IIRC one reason for him not getting burned out is that he stayed in his hometown in Montana instead of moving to LA like most CZcamsrs.
Also, Hustle Hank is almost as good as the mythical Muscle Hank.
when you love your work its like a hobby you get to do all the time
And he does so many science shows
One of the few advantages of being old(er): I am 52 and I was vaccinated against smallpox like my whole family.
In Berlin there has been a case of a 54 y.o. who got monkeypox, but the doctor mentioned that his symptons were negligible to the point of being hard to detect. The man had, of course, been vaccinated against smallpox as a child.
If that's the case why are people worried then
@@mrinsanity6063 Because one point does not make useful statistical information.
And you won't get multiple points without attention to the disease.
@@mrinsanity6063 Because most people are not vaccinated. And the man spoken of by the oc probably had a mild case because he was vaccinated. For someone who is not vaccinated, it probably would be more severe.
Also, because it's spreading to other countries that it's not normally found in.
And because people are afraid of another pandemic.
And because the name of the disease sounds weird.
@@anyascelticcreations most people aren’t going to sex parties and rubbing open sores against one another either.
@@GuitarGuy4647 If you paid attention in the video you'd know that you don't need to go to a sex party to get this.
Something simple like the celebration of a Football team winning the Euro league like Eintracht Frankfurt suffices.
Good job, clear information, short, to the point, no drama nor panic inducing info, you guys definitely earned your like, your share and your new subscriber for all that, congrats, wish you luck and I hope you inspire others to work with that level of professionalism
Welcome to scishow! If you want a video recommendation, I really like their HIV history videos (parts 1 and 2).
czcams.com/video/izwomieBwG0/video.html
“Due to the history of HIV and AIDs they might a community more likely to recognize infectious diseases early” THANK YOU 🙏
Everyone involved in the script felt like that was an extremely important message. Glad it was appreciated!
Thank you? That statement was insane and only applies ignorance to THE at risk population. If you think that the fact that 98% of all cases occur in men who have sex with men, a disease without a subtle clinical presentation, is because of infectious disease awareness then you are looking for comfort in the wrong places.
Thanks to this guy and his channels me, a high school dropout, is actually quite literate in chemistry, economics, world history, US history and all things space.
stay curious. its the real intelligence
Curiosity and where it leads is the bedrock of our society. Keep it up
"It does spread through close contact, and sex certainly qualifies..."
Wait, have I been doing it wrong this entire time??
No, whatever you do on the internet doesn't qualify as sex.
When you do it without contact its called masturbation.
@@umi3017 not with that attitude
I've been engaging in mental sex by transmitting radio waves to nearby participants! Am I at risk???
I can always count on this channel to give me low-bias, trust worthy information. I really appreciate all of the work you and your team put into these videos. Thank you so much Hank.
Every place has its bias, its in human nature. The best is to recognize on what subjects anyone is biased on and which they are not biased on.
@@tardvandecluntproductions1278 yeah no, being bias is a choice, not an instinct or "nature." pls get that thought out y'all skulls, it ain't true ☠️
@@tardvandecluntproductions1278 So what is your verdict, is this channel biased or not?
@@Valdaur on some subjects they are pretty biased, they give all the information accurately just come to weird conclusions sometimes. Not as much anymore as they used to and even when they did it was pretty uncommon but they, as all humans, have bias.
@@NotSoSerious69420 Examples?
I was vaccinated when I was 4 and I thought I had a natural immunity cause my family is from India where theres wild monkeys. My kid logic jumped to conclusions like a superhero over sky scrapers.
or in this case, your monkey-logic climbed sky skrapers.
@@hop-skip-ouch8798 10 little monkeys jumping on a bed, one fell off and bumped his head.
Me: bumps.... monkey... IT'S MONKEYPOX 🤯
Thats such a cute analogy for your leap in logic
Yeah monkeys are everywhere here, since last 3 weeks they are regularly coming to my home at noon.
They are so smart, they know everybody is sleeping they know how to open refrigerator, how to take food from the kitchen like a human without making any unusual noice, they were eating Tomatoes, onion drinking cold drinks.
And the best part they know where my Mum hides all these stuff.
My mum changed the place of these stuff at least 3 times but everytime they cracked.
It scares me sometimes, they are evolving so fast....
@@I_killed_that_beard_guy Getting the vibe that perhaps maybe you are blaming monkeys for something someone else...not naming names (you) ....have done....
I wonder if the people infected that didn't travel to Africa were exposed by someone who worked in hospitality, since employees would be in charge of handling bedding and towels for multiple guests, therefore increasing risk of transmission.
Airplanes are another good place to catch anything. I'd look to that as a likely possibility, as well.
That is a good theory. And there's been an exodus from Nigeria happening as of late, so people with mild symptoms might be inadvertently spreading it as they come to freer countries with more opportunity and less Boko Haram. When monkeypox is generally a mild illness, those who have it generally think nothing of traveling with it. And I know I'd take monkeypox over Boko Haram any day. At least an Amish milk cow stands between me and that disease.
A wave of infection some years ago in the US originated from prairie dogs, some people working with a wild population got infected.
Monkeypox is a misnomer, while monkeys can be infected, they are not the reservoir of this virus. Its probably rodents.
Infection goes via droplets, and requires close contact with an infected person. A person handling towels, bedding etc. could in theory get infected, but since they wear gloves usually and they would have to come in contact with relatively fresh body fluids it is not the most likeliest way.
Spread via Sexual partners, on parties and concerts were people get extremly close and hug a lot or scream at each other, family gatherings etc are the most likely way of spreading the virus.
And the question about how long it can survive on surfaces. If one person comes in contact with it, grabs a door handle or something similar and then washes their hands, another person grabbing the same handle can pick it up and carry it around to another place, where a third person can pick it up and might get infected. And since there are multiple steps if people who don't infected inbetween, it can be hard to follow the transmission.
Nice
"Let's be honest, some of this attention is just because it's showing up in places that aren't Africa." ohhhh my god say it louder, we only care when it comes home to us and could impact *us*.
The rest of the video is great too but that, that was on point.
Duhh, other countries don’t care what we go through either so what’s the aha moment you dunce
Basic
That has got to be the nerdiest Howdy-Doody shirt I have ever seen! I want one!
I was going to post above: can we all agree that Hank is wearing the most awesome shirt? Definitely nine thumbs up 👍!
Seriously! Does anyone have a brand/link for that?
On the bright side, having it spread to wealthier countries might mean the endemic countries get what they need to eradicate this. It’s so sad health inequality is still a thing in 2022, especially after COVID. We must do better as a species.
Maybe if third world countries weren’t so corrupt then they would have the money to spend on their health systems
The endemic countries can’t eradicate it as it is spread from animals to humans but more vaccines and treatment will reduce the transmission and infection rates
@@sdrawkcabUK look up "Belgian Congo" and "the Atlantic slave trade" and "colonialism"
@@leviathan6326 all events which happened 100-500 years ago. Most African countries have been independent now for 60 odd years and most have little to show for it
It's not a bright side. 'Wealthier' countries have a lot of wealth and health inequalities. Covid highlighted this in the UK, yet nothing has been done to fix it.
I’m now convinced that we’re in a plague inc scenario and the player failed with COVID 19 so now he’s started a new game with monkey pox, I hope he doesn’t know any cheat codes…
We already have a viable vaccine and treatments for this particular virus though
Commenting because I think this is the kind of video that should get boosted in the algorithm - peace and love always scishow
Was eagerly and patiently waiting for SciShow's take
I refused to learn about this until now because I could not handle more bad news about the dumpster fire that is our world. I figured if anyone was going to break it to me, it would be you. Lol
So glad it’s not so serious!
Keep looking at the actual data media loves to blow things out of proportion. Lately the CDC has been ignoring its own data and the media ran with the panic
So now you're free to go out there and get with anybody at anywhere or anytime yay
THANK YOU, I keep hearing about this, but nobody really is explaining it, I tried to look it up, but that rabbit hole wasn't very fruitful.
Thank you Sci-Show, for answering the questions I had about this, even after reading the news I was able to find. BTW, The Wonderium lecture series he mentions about The Black Death is possibly the best lecture series I've ever seen in my life. It's definitely worth whatever Wonderium is currently charging for it. (I saw it when the COVID pandemic first hit, then it was available for free on a streaming service for a while.)
I'm really impressed with the good work of Dr.patrick herbal remedy finally free from Herpes thanks sir contacts me on whatsapp with this +2348055367947 dr.patrickherbalhome@gmail.com.
"Some of these attentions is just because ...,lets be honest, infections are spreading to places that aren't Africa"
Thank you so much for being a level headed resource of information and knowledge!!
I'm really impressed with the quality and usefulness of your uploads!!
Papa Nurgle runnin' wild in the 20's, brother!
Thank you Sci-Show for this. It's a bit unnerving when many information sources keep updating on how the disease is spreading, specially after the pandemic. It's good to have a better, more balanced view of the infection.
Thank you, Hank and team, for all you do. What you do here is as important as it comes!
Love the information. Love the shirt. Thanks SciShow!
Always love these shows! Helped me in my Master program
Thank you for your timeliness.
Never watch this show. But this was an excellent, insightful presentation and I think we can all appreciate the quick, clean information. To echo some of the other comments, thanks for being very clear and making connections in a concise and unbiased way. Great content!
They are doing it for years and it is pretty great.
Of course, this is not perfect as no one is... but definitively a place to check out for information.
Thank you for the good, clear information! Extremely professional.
This video was so well-written. Well-done, Hank.
Stellar video! It's omprehensive, calm and clear, with an excellent recap at the end to reinforce the message. I've loved and supported SciShow for years, but this is a truly top-notch example of what you do so well. Thank you!
This has been the BEST resource on monkey pox that I've seen so far.
Great job👍!
Thank you for calming us down! 🫶🏽
Thanks for adding that we've known about monkey pox long enough to not to have to scramble against it like we had to against COVID.
What I learned from this video was the existence of monkeypox. I never knew that it was an actual thing/disease.
I know! This jogged a faint memory of a particular episode of Hey Arnold!
(Which, upon looking it up; turns out to focus on the...well, seriously fictional disease of "Monkeynucleosis" rather than Monkeypox. Still, I got the two confused due to a hazy childhood memory. o.o;)
There was an outbreak on the US in 2003, about 70 people caught it from animals imported from Africa as pets.
It's been in the news cycle here (as viruses are now a more talked about topic) and some people instantly worry as if covid like lockdowns are right around corner again.
Not realizing this ain't anything like covid.
I mean before Ebola got trendy a few years back no one also knew that it was first discovered in 1998 or something like that.
As if you people still believe the media haha
Ive not watched anything about monkey pox until now. This is the video I've been waiting for. Thank you.
This was super helpful! Thank you.
One of the things I never really get about people disliking scarring from diseases like this one is the general disgust response. I suppose disgust is designed to protect us and to help us stay away from diseases. But equally, if I saw someone who had scars from a pox, I'd be saying "Wow! That person has a great immune system!".
Most would not know what those scars are from or they’ll assume they still have the disease. So many movies, shows, and news stations basically tell people to stay away from anything that resembles a sickness.
@@PrimeDiam Yeah, I can see your point. It does explain why people often find it hard to look at people with lots of scarring. I wonder if it makes a stigma around the concept of beauty. People who've been targeted by acid attacks or suffered severe burns often get shunned or treated differently, even though there's nothing dangerous about their physical appearance.
@@buffster948 The reason why it's hard for me to look at is because my ex had visible scarring and continued self-harm when we were together. It didn't bother me at first, but during and up until eight months after we split I kept having nightmares of people I knew doing that to themselves and was very gory. I've had to turn down a few people who had scars just because I can't deal with it anymore. There were other reasons I disliked them, but none of which would make me reject someone based on scarring until I dealt with that.
@@PrimeDiam That sounds like a really difficult experience to go through. I understand how that could make someone feel distressed when they see scarring. I hope you've been able to access some support to help you process what happened.
Thanks you guys at Sci-Show for the awesome information (always), and so accurate to the last research. Hard to find in internet sources like you.
You are amazing. PhD here... keep it going!
Clear, concise, great presentation. And the shirt is just outstanding 👌
Thank you. A superb video that explains so much.
Covid didn't do the job, so the Plague Inc player decided to switch the pathogen... Round 2 - fight!
Yep, just as support for covid measures has fallen. Convenient.
God I'm dead, jesus
Due to the pandemic all borders and flights have been closed and cancelled, your virus can no longer progress.
Noob should just use prion, then brainwash the masses to thinking it's all fine while it feasts on brains
My first paranoid thought was that long Covid even of the "minor" variety may create a weakness in the immune system that subsequent diseases could exploit.
Please note that the group in the population that get it worst are children.
I was hoping you guys will cover this soon thank you.
Can you talk about how it’s getting spread? I saw some people say its nothing to worry about, since it’s hard to spread, but then the next day it was in several countries lol
It depends on population density, the closer people are together the more likely it would be to spread. That being said, the numbers so far are nothing compared to early Covid numbers, that spread way faster.
@@Direblade11 specifically in Africa since in many African countries they’re an extremely marginalized group.
@UCEh1U0lek4V4Xe9DP_yRZ0A saw an article disproving this. It’s not an exclusively sexually transmitted so any one with very active sexual life and with multiple partners are in higher danger than others.
I think part of the reason why there seem to be a high rate in the lgbtq right now because we can be too physical sometimes even if it’s not sexual. Lol
IT spreads by mostly skin to skin contact so keeping your distance and good hand hygiene can help. Also by contact with contaminated surfaces.
He describes how it spreads at 1:40
Here we go again
There's a recent rise in my country too. We are monitoring it heavily since there shouldn't be a case of monkeypox but only smallpox
Blue t-shirt with a south-western charcoal and white buttonup with red trim. What in the absolute heck I've never seen something so awesome
Nice coverage of the topic 👍
hank rocks when he talks about monkey pox.
I have literally only heard about this through memes, so I thought it was just a joke. After watching, I feel informed, but not worried!
Hank, your shirt is awesome! I need it, where did you get it?
Also great video and informative!
Thank you for such clear information.
I was just pre-panicking about this! Many thanks for the RELIABLE INFORMATION
Well... Since it affects the soles of the feet, I guess self-isolation comes as a package due to difficulties ambulating the desease around town...
Thanks for the information!
Been waiting for trustworthy channel to cover this topic. Vinaka & thank you 😌
I had to look it up when I heard it was reported in Boston (guess which state I live in).
Love you all for telling the truth 💜. Much love to you, and all. Say safe, drink water to stay hydrated. And keep learning please.
Thanks this was super helpful. I was so confused and scared before.
Why? It's just a random disease just like the rest of them. That's how the media operates: doomsayer propaganda BS blown WAY out of proportion so that people get scared when they really have no reason to be.
Thanks for the info
Thank you for being one of the few news outlets to give an accurate and unbiased perspective on the spread of this disease through communities of men who have sex with men.
One of the few good things here in hueland is that we trust in vaccination, and smallpox, called variola here, has great vaccination campaigns
The world's last case of smallpox was in Somalia in 1977. I'm curious about your statement.
Unfortunetaly the antivaxx terrorist movement is gaining too much force here in Brazil. We need to outlaw any antivaxx speech ASAP if we don't want smallpox to be a thing again here.
Smallpox vaccination campaigns aren't going on here in Brazil anymore, they stopped a few decades ago because, like was said in the video, smallpox was eradicated. So, if you're a younger person, you probably never got vaccinated, but your parents probably did. You can tell because that specific vaccine results in a mark left on the person's body, usually on the side of the upper arm, right below the shoulder. Yes, Brazil generally has a history of good vaccination campaigns (though that was obviously impacted negatively by a president who was very vocally against the covid vaccine and tried to delay it as long as possible), but the campaign for this specific disease ended a few decades ago.
What or where is hueland.
Sorry my english is terrible, what I meant is if the monkeypox spreads around the world, and it reaches Brazil (hueland), it won't cause trouble because a lot of people are vaccinated against smallpox, even younger generations because the vaccination programs had it till short time ago
I really like this shirt. The red piping is just perfect.
The flow of this video was pretty good
I'm old enough to have been vaccinated for smallpox.
I'm dumb enough to have gotten it myself. They gave it to military deploying to Afghanistan and Iraq, and in 07 I just happened to find myself on a plane bound to Afghanistan
I was vaccinated in 1958 while in second grade.
I put up a hell of a fight!
Vaccines' efficacy fade over time. You may be effectively unprotected now. So stay careful.
I'm much younger but I have the smallpox vaccine scar
@@ilajoie3 what army was you in?,EDIT:SPELT ARMYT INSTEAD OF ARMY
Thank you so much! When I heard about it I was like “Oh great another Pandemic!” But I’m glad I now know that it’s not gonna be super major
But NEVER underestimate human stupidity: Diseases like these could VERY easily become a new pandemic.
never "gonna" be super major ?? what are you a valley girl ?? ever hear of mutation?
@@rhartley2890 It has been existing for decades, and infects thousands of Africans every year and hasn't mutated even with decades of contagions in Africa, not every virus mutates easily and not every mutation is bad, Covid has been mutating hundreds of times since iit started and only 2 strains of mutations were deemed different enough to guarrantee a warning, Delta and Omicrom, all of the other mutations were so neligible that there was not even a point to try to do anything.
Even less transmissible diseases like monkeypox need attention and concern. Every life affected through morbidity or mortality is a human being who deserves good health and freedom from illness. That's why doctors and medical professionals go so hard on infectious diseases, even the relatively "smaller" ones. A lot of people will say stupid things like "it's just fear mongering" and "stop blowing it out of proportion" without thinking about how every statistic is a real living person
I wish more people would watch your videos. It can save lives.
Love your shirt, Hank. Gotta see where I can buy one.
Thank you for spreading correct and factual information.
Scishow, is Rose still with you? Haven't seen her in a while.
thanks for the info
Thanks for this! Also, cool shirt!
That has got to be the most Montana shirt in Hank's wardrobe.
Is it contagious during incubation, before symptoms appear?
Seems it is not. Contagion begins when the skin pustules appear.
Thank you for the information, also Hank what in yeehaw was that shirt
THANK YOU! VERY UNDERSTANDABLE.
The roll out of the smallpox vaccine decades ago is an excellent example of what can be accomplished when the entire world comes together on a topic: Virtually 80% of the world got vaccinated against it and we were able to stop when the disease was essentially wiped out. It's a shame that vaccinations have become so politicized lately, or Covid may have succumbed to the same fate and we wouldn't have lost millions of people to it.
In the US, we required most people to get vaccinated. For some, especially some Black communities, it was forced and it was pretty brutal.
Eradicating Smallpox was one of the biggest wins in public health history and it *definitely* was a different time in terms of trusting medicine, but as someone who works in PH with an epidemiology background it's important to me that we recognize that it wasn't an We're All In This Together effort for all countries and all communities.
One of the biggest stumbling blocks for COVID was our current information dispersal system. The internet give ready access to information, and conversely disinformation based on one’s bias. The internet doesn’t care about truth, only delivery. So a person with no background in infectious diseases has just as much (if not more depending on their visibility) of a voice as a person who has spent their entire life studying and fighting them.
@@savannahcarlon7033 In the US we don't, many people haven't gotten vaccinated so I don't know what you're on about entirely.
In reality is likely varies based on the region you're in.
finnaly i know what the actual heck is monkeypox
HANK... WHERE AND THE STINK DID YOU GET THAT AWESOME BUTTON UP SHIRT?! I NEED THAT IN MY LIFE!!!
Thanks Sci Show!
As a 75 yo person, I have been vaccinated against smallpox a couple of times, first as an infant and then later prior to some business trips. The last vaccination was probably 45 or 50 years ago. So, do I still have some protection against monkey pox?
@@sarafinasummers7863 Yes, of course. And I have got 4 shots for Covid ( with no side effects). Also I have not even had a cold for more than 15 years. But I do avoid seeing my grandchildren if they have a cold.
Dzięki za jasne i proste wyjeśnienie
"where you can find the answer to everything you've ever wondered about" - that is a claim so broad as to be absurd
Great video as always.
This explains why I’ve been eating so many bananas recently 😢😢😣
czcams.com/video/kN6d_mBoENI/video.html
Monke
Uh oh... went to Google when they stopped vaccinating for small pox in the US. I was born in 1980 so I should probably pay attention to the movement of the monkey pox virus.
Very informative!
Thank you for sharing this information. I had the polio. And small pox vaccine
Can you do a video on how the community’s relationship with PFH is addressing monkeypox? Thanks!
What's PFH, ive never heard of it before?
@@Alice-si8uz Partners for Better Health. I think that's the name. It’s the partnership with the people of Sierra Leone.

That is indeed a nice overshirt, but the undershirt threw me off? There is aleady the black & white with black & white patterning with red trim on the main garment, but then there is the fourth color on the undershirt.

The appearance of monkeypox had me looking up the smallpox vaccine to see if it was one of the ones I've gotten as a kid.
Turns out the smallpox vaccine wasn't given out in Canada after 1972. 🤔
Same. I thought, "Hey I wasn't vaccinated against smallpox." And I remembered seeing it in the list for international travel vaccinations but the country I was going didn't require it. Now I found out that it is not a recommended vaccination in Australia because it was eradicated. Due to the possible serious side effect, currently the cost outweigh the benefit.
I’m ready for the comment section 🍿
