Em junho de 2022, São Paulo se viu diante de uma questão que transcende a medicina: uma jovem de 26 anos hospitalizada com suspeita de varíola dos macacos, sem histórico de viagem nem contato rastreável com infectados. O caso, somado a outros três suspeitos espalhados pelo Brasil, sugere que o vírus pode estar encontrando novos caminhos de transmissão — aqueles que os mapas epidemiológicos tradicionais ainda não sabem desenhar. As autoridades se movem com urgência, mas também com a consciência de que as perguntas mais difíceis são aquelas cujas respostas ainda não existem.
