With cases of monkeypox inexplicably on the rise outside of Africa - where the viral disease is endemic - public health officials are using contact tracing, isolation and targeted vaccination to curb its spread.

It has U.S. approval for the prevention of both smallpox and monkeypox. European Union approval is for smallpox, although doctors can prescribe it off-label for monkeypox. Bavarian Nordic said it would probably apply for a label extension with the EU's drug watchdog to include monkeypox. It is also not designed to be used in certain groups of people, such as those with compromised immune systems.

Another drug, branded as Tembexa and developed by Chimerix, has U.S. approval to treat smallpox. It is not clear whether it could help people infected with monkeypox. U.S. officials say there are more than 1,000 doses of the Bavarian Nordic vaccine in the national stockpile and expect that level to ramp up very quickly in the coming weeks. The country also has 100 million doses of ACAM2000.

Three theories (one likely true) about the origins of monkeypoxAmong the false theories, monkeypox was caused by using a chimpanzee adenovirus vector in the AstraZeneca vaccine Why give oxygen to the nonsense? It's got the same origins as covid-19 did. The world economic forum, the CDC and Pfizer. It only takes a little bit of research and following the money trail. What we need are journalists, like the ones we used to have that investigated stuff Gross, just unfollow. Grow up.
