Abstract
On July 23, 2022 a new, rapidly spreading, and severe disease was declared a public health emergency of international concern by the World Health Organization (WHO). Monkeypox, of unknown origin, has nearly infected an extraordinary 65,000 people globally in just the last five months. With daily life only just recently returning to a pre-COVID cadence due to the remarkable development and distribution of vaccines, we must consider whether it is too early to celebrate with another potential pandemic on the way.
