Last month, an expert panel convened by NIH and its parent agency, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), released a draft report that recommends the GOF rules be broadened to include pathogens and experiments that are exempt from the current scheme. If the recommendation is adopted—which could come next year—the monkeypox study could come under tighter scrutiny. And other researchers working with viruses such as Ebola, seasonal flu strains, measles, and even common cold viruses could face new oversight and restrictions.

A smallpox antiviral that’s effective against monkeypox is tied up in red tape, and gay-health advocates are pushing to make it easier to access

As monkeypox cases continue to rise in the U.S. and the rest of the world, many of those most affected by the virus say they cannot access an effective treatment.

The current monkeypox outbreak has caused more than 21,100 confirmed cases worldwide, including more than 4,900 in the U.S. The virus has infected people in Central and West Africa for decades but recently started circulating abroad, so far primarily among men who have sex with men.

So the push now is for folks to get a second monkeypox vaccination.
