Monkeypox is a virus, similar to smallpox but milder. It is infectious to all animal species, including humans, and has a death rate of up to 10 percent. The smallpox vaccine is said to work well against monkeypox. ¹⁾

It's estimated that 59,000 people worldwide dies from rabies every year²⁾, mainly in Africa and Asia. Once symptoms appear, there's almost 100 percent fatality rate, as there's no effective treatment options, even with intensive care. As of 2016, there is only fourteen cases in history of people who survived rabies after showing symptoms³⁾. However, thanks to vaccine developed by Louis Pasteur in 1885, it's possible to avoid disease in 100% of cases if vaccine is given within 10 days from exposure.
