evidence: Following the PHEIC for mpox in 2024, Rizza Islam, a figure known for promoting vaccine misinformation, made claims suggesting that mpox, bird flu, and parvovirus B19 are merely rebranded versions of the same virus. He further claimed that this was a ploy to push for more vaccinations and make use of existing vaccines "stored up in warehouses". Islam also implied that the goal of this was financial profit, writing "No viruses = no injections given which = a MAJOR LOSS of $" . [...] Furthermore, the claim that mpox, bird flu, and parvovirus B19 are rebranded versions of the same virus is not supported by scientific evidence. Indeed, each of these viruses is a clearly identified and well-characterized, distinct biological entity. [...] In summary, viruses like mpox, parvovirus B19, and the viruses responsible for bird flu are all different from each other. They were identified at different times and in different places. Their genomes are structured differently, and they belong to separate families of viruses. Thus, Islam’s claim is incorrect as they aren’t a "rebranding" of each other. Scientifically established facts distinguish these viruses from each other.
