Do typical hand wipes kill the Monkey Pox virus?

Asked by JLeslie (65418points) May 28th, 2022 from iPhone

I’m not worried about Monkey Pox at all, but I’m just curious. I tried to Google and what I found is washing hands with soap and water and alcohol kills the virus. I can’t find anything about hand wipes that have other chemicals nor have I seen bleach solution mentioned. Have you read anything?

Bonus question: since small pox vaccine is thought to work against monkey pox, are people who were vaccinated back before 1972 thought to have some possible immunity?
