"lean forward with an aggressive public health response to the monkeypox outbreak" and activate its emergency operations center."This will not only increase testing capacity but also make it more convenient for providers and patients to access tests," CDC director Rochelle WalenskyRimoin questioned why there wasn't a more concerted effort to address or prepare for the virus years earlier when monkeypox was spreading in rural Africa.
She said she had co-authored a paper in 2010 that documented a large increase in monkeypox cases since the eradication of smallpox and the end of the smallpox vaccine, which also protects people from monkeypox.
