World Health Organization: Stop attacking monkeys. It won't stop monkeypox.

The World Health Organization urges people to stop attacking monkeys; it won't stop the spread of monkeypox. Apparently an increase in monkeypox in Brazil has led to the poisoning or injury of monkeys at a natural reserve in Rio Preto. From The Guardian:

"What people need to know is that the transmission we are seeing is happening between humans," a WHO spokesperson, Margaret Harris, told reporters in Geneva on Tuesday[…]

But Harris underlined that despite its name, monkeys are not the main transmitters of the disease and have nothing to do with the outbreak.
