#MPOX

14 posts12 participants1 post today

A very good summary of the #Mpox situation and a very worthwhile read:
"...international efforts for sustainable, global control of mpox must focus on enabling local and/or regional manufacture of POC diagnostics, vaccines and antivirals. Failure to address this across the international community leaves the future of mpox to nature and chance. We cannot comment on chance, but our understanding of nature suggests that mpox will not stand still, and left alone it will not disappear."
