Health officials caught an early break: An existing two-dose vaccine named Jynneos, developed to fight smallpox, was also approved for use against the monkeypox.
Some in the public health community worried that it was a big decision based on a small amount of research — a single 2015 study. But the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention since then has confirmed there was“They got criticized for the revised dosing strategy, but it was the right call,” said Frieden, who is currently president of Resolve to Save Lives, a non-profit organization focused on preventing epidemics.
“The success was really due to grassroots activities,” said Amira Roess, a George Mason University professor of epidemiology and global health. Leaders in the gay community “took it upon themselves to step in when the government response was really lacking” in a way that recalled what happened during the plodding government response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the 1980s, she said.
I’ll tell you why and who gets the credit for stopping this terrible disease: the American public who turned off the fake news and fearmongering and lived their lives! I’m curious if any actual person knows of even one actual case in their community?!
Don’t you mean Monkey GRIDS 2.0?
Gay men for pulling back their promiscuity.
fowlerbd2m LOL. Light news day huh? There is no credit to be given about a virus that isn’t that contagious and affects and very small portion of the population almost exclusively
It wasn't rocket science, all it took was a small demographic to stop shagging quite so much.
People stop bumming each other during winter months
It never was a threat to your average American.
I’d say the gay community had learned a hard lesson with HIV that they needed to rally themselves for communication & vaccine distribution, since govt inaction killed hundreds of thousands w HIV. The govt did better this time as well.
Monkey pox only impacted 1 community!
when the virus is a tool for propaganda, the credit for easing the crisis, is to the people who recognized it for what it is, a hoax!
It was never a crisis. People just didn't fall for the propaganda 🤣
Or was Mpox just overhyped like Covid?
It was not ever an exploding health crisis. It was a news cycle event that filled a couple of weeks and sold a few clicks. Sort of like driving past a motor vehicle accident.
Who decided to rename it and why? I'm still calling it monkeypox and I will never stop.
we all know the blame if mpox spread uncontrolled would be laid at Pres. Biden's door. He deserves the credit for successful outcomes, if all things are to be equally considered.
Well, because it was only spread through gay men having sex with each other, turns out it wasn’t as hard to contain as an airborne respiratory virus.
I'm going to give the credit to the Mainstream Media, that decided that this story wasn't as big as they wanted it to be.
I went with the school of Public Health to administer Mpox vaccines. We went directly to the LGBTQ community. We went to bath houses, Pride parades & community centers. The community was welcoming and proactive. It was the opposite of my experience giving Covid vaccines.
Ummmm…the fact that only 10 percent of the population is gay, and it’s a sexually transmitted disease among gay men, and most of them took precautions…so…
Why is there a syringe in the picture? This mind programming of yours cannot be more obvious.
The people controlled the outbreak by not buying into the outbreak.
Well, the reporting stopped when kids and dogs started getting it. 🤔
It's like it just exited the backdoor
Or maybe…you just blew it out of proportion
Is this the one centered around gay orgies?
It never was a crisis. They tried to make it be one just like Covid
*monkeypox
