Understanding the Spread of Fake News on Monkeypox

Fake news about monkeypox, akin to Covid-19 misinformation, is being disseminated by anti-vaxxers on social media. The WHO has declared a global health emergency due to different severity levels in monkeypox variants.

Transmission mainly occurs through skin contact and affects a diverse demographic, not just gay men. In Africa, the disease leads to miscarriages and impacts children.

Stigmatization of monkeypox mirrors that of AIDS/HIV. The RKI reports thousands of cases, with Clade I showing more severe symptoms.

The WHO advises against lockdowns and masks, while vaccines are available. Misleading information on social media poses a heightened risk of misinformation.
