Vanderbilt researchers are developing an artificial intelligence algorithm that can precisely track and count monkeypox lesions. They are also spearheading the effort to develop lesion classification guidelines, which will be used when evaluating the potential use of tecovirimat, an antiviral that is FDA-approved against smallpox, as a therapy for monkeypox.

Interview is a Stark contrast to the CDC website guidance they posted today.
WHY would they literally massively promote this drug at a webinar one day and then, literally OUT of nowhere, the next day, LIE and say a mutation may be one amino acid away from rendering this drug totally useless
"We do expect it to be available soon Tecovirimat. And CDC is currently developing an expanded access IND protocol to help facilitate the use of this product as a treatment for monkeypox as well," the CDC's Brett Petersen told doctors at the AMA webinar.
According to federal data, nearly 2,000 patients diagnosed with monkeypox have been treated with TPOXX so far, nearly all of them men. Only 24 women have been confirmed to have received TPOXX to treat monkeypox infections.
Ten of the patients in the study reported a complete resolution of their monkeypox lesions one week after starting treatment. The majority of the patients took TPOXX for 14 days. However, the study did not include a control group, limiting the researchers’ ability to measure effectiveness.

Patient With New Strain of Monkeypox Hospitalized in U.K.

New Strain Of Monkeypox Discovered In U.K.:

U.K.
Health officials in the U.K. have announced that they have found a new strain of monkeypox.
According to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), it was discovered in an individual who has recently traveled to West Africa, from where monkeypox originated. The person's strain is genetically distinct from the one being spread across the world.
"Preliminary genomic sequencing conducted by UKHSA indicates that this case does not have the current outbreak strain circulating in the UK," said UKHSA in a statement.
Endemic to areas in West Africa, monkeypox has been spreading across the world rapidly during 2022. According to the CDC, 52,090 cases have now been reported worldwide, of which 19,465 have been found in the U.S.

This discovery reveals a third category of monkeypox. Previously, monkeypox was known to have two variants, Clade I and Clade II, which were respectively known as the Congo Basin and West African clades.
Clade II has two-sub strains, Clade IIa and Clade IIb, with the latter being responsible for the worldwide outbreak of the infection throughout 2022.
According to The Telegraph, a British newspaper, while Clade II has a low mortality rate of one in 100, Clade I is more deadly, with a rate of one in 10. Whether this new case is a sub-clade of I or II, or a third distinct clade, is unknown.
"Given that the person caught the infection in West Africa, it is likely that it is the less- virulent Clade II West African variant, though I don't know for certain," Paul Hunter, a Professor in Medicine at the Norwich School of Medicine, University of East Anglia, told Newsweek.
Dr Sophia Maki, incident director at the UKHSA, said in a statement: "We are working to contact the individuals who have had close contact with the case prior to confirmation of their infection, to assess them as necessary and provide advice.
"UKHSA and the NHS have well established and robust infection-control procedures for dealing with cases of imported infectious disease, and these will be strictly followed and the risk to the general public is very low."

Monkeypox is a viral infection spread by close skin-to-skin contact, as well as skin-to-material contact. This includes, but is not limited to, sexual contact. The majority of infections so far have been contracted by men who have sex with men.
According to the WHO, symptoms include fever, headache, muscle aches, back pain, low energy and swollen lymph nodes. Monkeypox is characterized by the skin rash that occurs around three days after fever begins, and is usually concentrated on the face and extremities.
Vaccines for monkeypox have been prioritized for the most at-risk communities across the U.S., but there is still not enough to vaccinate everyone who needs it.
In August, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued an emergency-use authorization, allowing the injection of the vaccine intradermally, between the layers of the skin, rather than beneath the skin.
According to Robert Fenton, the White House monkeypox response coordinator, this method requires only one-fifth of the dosage, meaning that five times more vaccine doses will be available for use.
The U.K. individual with the new monkeypox strain has been admitted to the High Consequence Infectious Disease (HCID) unit at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital.
"We remind everyone who is planning to travel to West and Central Africa to be alert for the symptoms of monkeypox," said Dr. Maki.

U.S. to expand monkeypox vaccine, drug distribution through AmerisourceBergen contract
BY Reuters
— 2:50 PM ET 09/06/2022
By Michael Erman
NEW YORK, Sept 6 (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on Tuesday said it will significantly expand the number of distribution locations for monkeypox vaccines and treatments through a new $20 million contract with AmerisourceBergen Corp. (ABC)
Under the new contract, HHS said it will be able to make up to 2,500 shipments per week of frozen doses of Bavarian Nordic's (BVNKF) Jynneos vaccine from the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS), as well as shipments of SIGA Technologies' (SIGA) drug TPOXX to up to 2,500 locations.
The national stockpile had been shipping to only about 5 locations per state and other jurisdictions.
"This new commercial contract will help deliver vaccines and treatments to communities and at-risk individuals more quickly and bring us a step closer to ending the current outbreak," HHS Assistant Secretary Dawn O'Connell said in a statement.
Since late May, when a large multi-nation outbreak began in countries where the virus is not endemic, nearly 20,000 cases of monkeypox have been reported in the United States, according to government data.
The vaccine and TPOXX doses - as well as the distribution - are being provided to states and other jurisdictions for free.
As of Sept. 2, the SNS has shipped more than 800,000 vials of Jynneos and more than 37,000 courses of TPOXX nationwide.
By the end of August, more than 350,000 doses of Jynneos had been administered in 30 jurisdictions that are reporting data on the shots to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved TPOXX in 2018 to treat smallpox, but the drug may be used for monkeypox under a special "compassionate use" protocol from the CDC.
