On Thursday, the Biden administration declared the monkeypox a public health emergency . Since the beginning of May, over 6,000 cases of Monkeypox have been confirmed across the United States.
“In light of evolving circumstances on the ground, I am declaring a public health emergency on monkeypox,” Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra wrote on Twitter Thursday. “We are prepared to take our response to the next level in addressing this virus,” he added, urging “every American to take monkeypox seriously.”
A formal declaration has yet to be finalized, however it is in the works, and will be posted on the HHS’ website. CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky applauded the decision, noting that her agency could now “take critical actions more quickly” to “better meet the demands of the outbreak.”
The federal government’s move to declare a public health emergency follows similar actions taken by other nations, as well as the World Health Organization .
According to the Washington Post , 1.6 million Americans have been identified as being among those with the highest risk of contracting Monkeypox, however just 550,000 doses of the only FDA approved vaccine are available. Plans are being formulated to ensure that the US has enough doses to cover those who need it most.
On Tuesday, Robert J. Fenton was tapped to become the Biden administration’s monkeypox response coordinator.
He noted that declaring an emergency will allow the government to “explore additional strategies to get vaccines and treatments more quickly out in the affected communities.”

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
