Infoseepage<p>Smallpox, which is in the same family as Mpox, was one of the great all time killers of mankind. In it's last century before we wiped it out, it is estimated to have killed 300-500 million people around the world. Through our indifference to what is largely presently occurring in Africa, we are giving mpox training wheels. God help us when it really learns to ride. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mpox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mpox</span></a></p>
Infoseepage<p>Clade 1b is bad enough in it's current form. It's killing about .8% of those infected, but the thing to consider is the more we allow a virus to percolate in humanity, the more chances we're giving it to mutate and further optimize itself. A lot of viral optimizations tend to result in greater pathogenicity/mortality in host species. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mpox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mpox</span></a></p>
Infoseepage<p>To top it off, the vaccines being donated aren't really mpox vaccines, but Smallpox vaccines that have some degree of cross-reactive protection. Multiple studies have found that the safest of the vaccines, Jynneos, may have limited long term protection. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mpox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mpox</span></a></p>
Infoseepage<p>Basically, if you're going to go after it effectively, you need to vaccinate large segments of the population. The country at the epicenter of the epidemic, the DRC has a population of something like 109 million people and Africa as a whole has 1.37 billion. The total amount of vaccine doses pledged/donated so far total in the low single digit millions.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mpox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mpox</span></a></p>
Infoseepage<p>Clade 1b of MPOX isn't as target-able through subpopulation vaccination as some of the other clades where the majority of infected have been what are rather clinically referred to as men who have sex with men (MSM). With Clade 1b, over half the victims are women and children.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mpox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mpox</span></a></p>
Infoseepage<p>A couple more African nations joined the Clade 1b MPOX club today and Africa CDC reported some 2700+ MPOX cases in the last week. They've been logging between 2500-3000 cases a week for over three months and there are really no signs they're getting it under control with the limited supplies of vaccine that have been donated. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mpox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mpox</span></a></p>
