For over two years, the vaccine was available -- and could have been paid for, and shipped -- but both profit-seeking, FDA regulations, and slow moving WHO bureaucracy. . . have put us where we now are: behind the 8-ball. We need to get moving like yesterday. Here's the good news of the morning, though:
. . .Germany has around 117,000 doses of Jynneos, which is being stockpiled by the German army after Berlin procured it in 2022.
It will keep a minimum amount of stock, to protect travelling authorities, for example, said a defence ministry spokesperson on Monday. A separate decision would need to be made when it comes to reordering vaccines, he added.
The World Health Organization has declared mpox a global public health emergency after an outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo spread to neighbouring countries and a new form of the virus, clade Ib, triggered concerns about the speed of transmission. . . .
Time for the multinational manufacturers to step up, and do this at cost -- and, where is the US government's similar and immediate donation? Onward.

Indeed, I did! Thanks Anon. I wrote on it, at the site for his legal travails. Then some of his trolls re-appeared to tell lies. . . and so. . . it has (again) restarted their attempts to dox me -- same as in August of 2022. . . and my adult children, too. Charming.

My thoughts on Shkreli's self-destruction, Edition 2.0, are over there -- but I won't post much more here, because I don't want that troll traffic to migrate over to this longer running, more serious science site.
Thanks -- and do take a look if it interests you.
Namaste. . . .
