In what way does Dr. Igoe think stigma is a factors with regard to people coming forward and possibly getting the vaccine, in some cases, having perhaps been infected with monkeypox?

Gino Kenny: People listening in may have had symptoms of long Covid. I got Covid recently and I would not wish my worst enemy to constantly have those symptoms every day. It is your worst nightmare.
