The most challenging part of this article is that trust in public (and private) health officials was so badly eroded during covid. It’s difficult to know who to trust and what to believe when the last ‘outbreak’ saw so many health professionals in hot water (to put it mildly) for having any difference of opinion.

Public health squandered 100 years of trust on COVID. Lying to citizens. Getting caught. Lying more. Insisting that gatherings must be avoided. Then insisting that BLM gatherings must be attended. Shutting down schools for over a year. But refusing to shut down gay bath houses now.
My kids (teens) will never trust public health people again. Neither will I. It will take at least 2 generations to rebuild that trust. Monkeypox is minor and will, in all probability, remain confined to the promiscuous gay subculture. But God help us if we get a real pandemic (something on the level of smallpox) in those 2 generations.

So...welcome to the new normal.
