The Philippines mentioned that the earliest delivery for MPX vaccines would be in 2023. Oh no, there goes my plan of getting a second shot when I go in September I've seen conflicting reports about how necessary the second shot is. Also--anyone heard of anyone that still got it despite being vaccinated? Because if this is like the COVID vaccines then chile-

But this makes me feel better
bjorn Posted August 11, 2022 Posted August 11, 2022 Omg some of the photos of monkeypox look seriously awful need the vaccine now
Vermillion Posted August 11, 2022 Posted August 11, 2022 7 hours ago, Dula Peep said: I was told that it "doesn't work" until two weeks after my second dose. But this makes me feel better Based on the relatively limited studies we have, the effectiveness of just one shot lasts about a year and the effectiveness of two lasts more than that, anywhere from 2 to 3. But, and I'll say this again as I've been saying for weeks, this entire conversation on effectiveness is pointless with sustained spread when there's already a 2nd strain outside Africa. People should absolutely get the vaccine when they can, but the 85% number (that was already shaky to begin with based on some of the articles here) is no longer set in stone.
Vermillion Posted August 11, 2022 Posted August 11, 2022 Now, cynics are saying it's for a profit motive that HHS won't order more and they aren't wrong, but the Biden White House and HHS, CDC and FDA are not blameless here - in fact, going back several administrations. To do this without proper data to cover their *** because they didn't do the right thing in stockpiles, funding, and urgency in the first place is callous gaslighting. For 1) allowing a biopharma monopoly so we can't rely on anyone but Bavarian whose plant in the States is still being expanded 2) Letting 20 million Jynneos doses expire over a decade 3) Waiting a month to bring in the 300K doses from Denmark because they were being saved for straight people for a smallpox bioterror allotment and they didn't care if this became endemic in MSM, over to reverse track once called out and more...
Vermillion Posted August 11, 2022 Posted August 11, 2022 Well hopefully this doesn't affect my second shot
fabilicious Posted August 11, 2022 Posted August 11, 2022 getting my first dose in two weeks. how did you guys handle the vaccine?

Just had a sore bump on my arm where they injected it for a week, like a mosquito bite. Nothing compared to the COVID vaccine. But obviously ask your doctor if you have concerns.

And with many being vaccinated it will have an even harder time spreading. It would be a best case scenario at this point. It doesn't seem to be spreading to the non MSM population otherwise we'd have way more women with it.

No new cases in the UK is great considering they were the start of it and have thousands of cases, I hope it's not a quirk of reporting the cases though. At any rate it seems to have stabilized from a few weeks ago. But third world countries are worrying. I'm Peruvian and Peru obviously has zero vaccine and they have 85 new cases, and considering how homophobic most of society is there and that there is a big gay association with this, I would not be shocked if the real number was 5x as high but a lot of closeted men are not getting themselves checked out. They really need to start mass producing this yesterday. **** patents, it's an emergency. A lot of people are going to suffer if they don't do it fast.
