Top U.S. infectious-disease expert and chief medical advisor to the president Dr. Anthony Fauci speaks to Reuters about the monkeypox outbreak in the U.S. and globally, and what measures the U.S. is taking to stop the spread of the largest-ever outbreak outside of Africa. Dr. Fauci sheds light on work being doing to make TPOXX, an antiviral drug used to treat people with severe disease, more readily available to those in need. He also offers insight into how monkeypox is spread, who is at risk, introduces the idea of vaccine “dilution,” talks about what declaring a public-health emergency means in practice, and jokes that he won’t go golfing the day after he retires. 🔗 Read the latest on monkeypox at our link in bio. #DrAnthonyFauci #medicine #science #researcher #monkeypox #virus #publichealthemergency #vaccines #Jynneos #NIH #NIAID #publichealth #outbreak #stopthespread #slowthespread #bendthecurve
