Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has taken to Twitter, 
questioning why children are catching monkeypox if it's "a 
sexually transmitted disease."

Monkeypox is rapidly spreading throughout the globe. Since May, 
there have been 16,836 recorded cases across 74 countries, as of 
July 22, according to the CDC. The World Health Organization has 
declared the outbreak a global health emergency, as cases 
continue to spread.

So far the outbreak continues to be concentrated among men who 
have sex with men. As a result, many people have labeled it as 
an STD. However, anyone can catch monkeypox, particularly if 
they have direct skin-to-skin contact with an infected person.

While experts are still researching its potential to become an 
entrenched STD, many do not believe it behaves like one.

On July 22, the CDC confirmed that two children have been 
confirmed with monkeypox in unrelated cases.

Following this, some have begun to question which groups it 
could start impacting as it continues to spread.

Greene took to Twitter following the news, saying: "If Monkeypox 
is a sexually transmitted disease, why are kids getting it?"

Newsweek has contacted Greene for comment.

She is not the only one to express concern recently.

Another Twitter, user Alex Dodds, said: "Am I the only parent 
reading about #monkeypox and starting to worry it'll be all over 
elementary schools this fall? It is *not* an STD, reads more 
like Hand, Foot, and Mouth. I'm not a public health official, 
but seems real weird it's currently painted as an LGBTQ+ issue."
