A panel of scientists and activists at the AIDS 2022 conference in Montreal are urging worldwide governments to ramp up resources to handle the monkeypox outbreaks.

The plea comes as international experts gathered earlier today to discuss the necessity to avoid reproducing mistakes made during the early HIV response.

Dr. Meg Doherty, director of the World Health Organization's global HIV, hepatitis and STIs programs, told reporters an equitable approach is crucial to ensure the tools are available not only to wealthier countries, but also in Africa where monkeypox is traditionally found. Over 19,000 cases of monkeypox have been reported over the last few months from 78 countries, mostly among men who have sex with other men, with 803 cases in Canada as of July 29.

Keletso Makofane, a public health researcher at Harvard University, called the monkeypox global response "worse than the initial HIV response," saying there was already enough information about the virus to contain it. Meanwhile, Marina Klein, research director of the medicine at the division of infectious diseases and chronic viral illnesses service at Montreal's McGill University, said more studies are needed to understand the extent of the disease transmission.

More...garbage news ! 🤪

This is completely controllable via personal actions - it is not an easy virus to contract despite people insisting it is airborn and lives on surfaces. I have a feeling those that scream that are living in fear of having to explain their actions to their partners...

So when do the provences publicy consider and tax on gays?

Is it true gays most infected?

To control the population keep them bus and consumed by pandemics one after the other, don't give them a break....

Holy hell, reading these comments, I'm scared for humanity. Are you all mouth breathers? Monkeypox is real, and it's surging for a reason; weakened immune systems post COVID. Living in ignorance won't protect you from it. 🙄

'It's scandalous and it's worse than HIV in the sense that we have the tools to respond' What's scandalous is how diseases that could be reduced (or eliminated) if people have at most one sex partner are publicized as though that doesn't matter.

Let me guess... That want lockdowns. Lol. Lockdown but the back side

In Toronto, they told that the second dosis will be in a month, but nobody hear anything yet.

After brainwashing by media, gov, politicians, Big Tech and Big Pharma for over 21/2yrs there are way too many people who actually believe that tweet. And much worse. Here's how can happen...

Wasn’t there a doctor in the mid 80's that was working on research for aids. For the life of me I can't remember his name🤔

Schlong Covid

Yawn!

D Penalty in your future

Have some cochmilk & cricket paste

We always reap what we sew. Whether we do good or wrong. Accept your consequences for your actions and quit blaming others.

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

Oh gawd, we're back to dealing with 'experts' 🙄

What is a better name for CP24?

I’ve heard there is a new monkeypox tax coming out to fight this.

CP24 'experts'.....go back over the past 2 years and headline surf.....My god, they were never right once....but boy do they ever keep trying....

Should’ve cancelled pride celebrations.

Screw off.

How much did they get paid.

'Experts at AIDS conference say the current global monkeypox response is not enough' 'Experts'? Like these 👇🏿

If aids didnt slow these guys down do you really think this is?

Let me get this right. Schools were closed/disrupted for over two years, but this show must go on:

PridePox

No it is not.

Here’s why most people don’t need a vaccination against monkeypox just yet, according to expertsThe World Health Organization may have declared the monkeypox outbreak a public health emergency, but experts say the general population doesn’t have to worry about getting vaccinated amid global supply issues. The WHO did not vote to declare a health emergency. Corrupt Tedros took it upon himself. So are mem who have sex with men not part of the general population. The framing around this is horrific. How's HIV doing?
