First, it might not scan as misinfo because some things are true:
-wastewater is an important detection tool
-rodents are the primary animal reservoir of mpx
-zoonotic spillover is real
-we typically don’t eradicate diseases with animal reservoirs
-mpx should be taken seriously

First, wastewater detection doesn’t distinguish between viral fragments (cannot spread disease) and whole virus (can spread disease). For instance, covid wastewater detection is basically exclusively the first one.
