Monkeypox has been a hot topic of conversation, especially since
the first probable case of monkeypox was discovered this week in
New Jersey.

It was discovered that monkeypox has been spread through sexual
intercourse in almost all recent cases throughout the globe.

This begs the question: Is monkeypox a sexually transmitted
disease (STD)?

Here’s what you need to know.

What is monkeypox? When was it first discovered?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC), researchers first discovered monkeypox in 1958 when a
“pox-like” outbreak appeared on monkeys being kept for research,
which is how the disease “monkeypox” got its name.

But it was not until 1970 when the first human case of monkeypox
surfaced in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Since then, monkeypox has surfaced in humans who have lived in
or traveled to central and western African countries.

But the most recent cases of monkeypox have not been spread
through travel to Africa. Most cases have come about without any
direct links to Africa but through sexual contact.

Although many of the most recent cases “are within gay, bisexual
men and other men who have sex with men,” CDC Director Dr.
Rochelle Walensky called for approaching the matter with
“science” and not “stigma.”

“While some groups may have a greater chance of exposure right
now, infectious diseases do not care about state or
international borders. They’re not contained within social
networks and the risk of exposure is not limited to any one
particular group,” she added.

Monkeypox is usually transmitted when someone comes into contact
with an animal, another human, or materials contaminated with
the virus, according to the CDC.

The virus can enter the body through broken skin, the
respiratory tract, eyes, nose, or mouth.

If monkeypox can be spread through sex, is monkeypox an STD?
The World Health Organization (WHO) clarified in a recent
meeting that while these recent cases of monkeypox can be spread
through sex, it does not make it a sexually-transmitted
infection.

“Many diseases can be spread through sexual contact. You could
get a cough or a cold through sexual contact, but it doesn’t
mean that it’s a sexually transmitted disease,” said Andy Seale,
who advises the WHO on sexually transmitted infections.

What are the symptoms of monkeypox in humans?
The symptoms of monkeypox are like a milder version of smallpox,
except monkeypox causes swollen lymph nodes while smallpox does
not.

According to the CDC, monkeypox starts out with the following
symptoms:

Fever
Headache
Muscle aches
Backache
Swollen lymph nodes
Chills
Exhaustion
One to three days within the onset of symptoms, such as a fever,
patients then begin to develop a rash on the face before
spreading elsewhere on the body.

The illness usually lasts for 2-4 weeks before it runs its
course through the body. However, in some areas of the world,
like Africa, the disease can be fatal.

The CDC states that 1 in 10 people in Africa who catch monkeypox
die from it.

Public health experts, including within the Biden
administration, are increasingly concerned that the federal
government’s handling of the largest-ever U.S. monkeypox
outbreak is mirroring its cumbersome response to the coronavirus
pandemic 2œ years ago, with potentially dire consequences.

As a result, they said, community transmission is occurring
largely undetected, and the critical window in which to control
the outbreak is closing quickly.

“It’s been unbelievably challenging,” said Lauren Sauer,
director of the Special Pathogens Research Network within a
government-funded consortium of medical centers focused on
pathogens training and education. “It felt like January 2020 all
over again.”

More than 150 monkeypox cases have been identified in the United
States since May 19, federal officials said this week, and more
than 3,300 cases have been detected in 42 countries around the
world.

The rapidly rising global case counts have prompted the World
Health Organization to convene an emergency committee on
Thursday to assess whether the monkeypox outbreak represents a
public health emergency of international concern — the agency’s
highest-level warning, which currently applies only to the
coronavirus and polio.

But as other nations have ramped up their efforts to track and
prevent the spread of infection, experts say the United States
has moved too slowly to expand access to monkeypox testing and
vaccinate people at highest risk. The government’s failure to
clearly and urgently communicate the symptoms and risks
associated with monkeypox, a disease spread by close contact
that can lead to fever, pain and a visible rash, has left gay
and bisexual men who are disproportionately contracting the
virus especially vulnerable, public health experts say.

The plodding U.S. response so far raises doubts about the
country’s preparedness for the next pandemic, some
administration officials say.

Communication about whom to test, when to test them and what
monkeypox symptoms look like has been dismal, said Sauer, a
public health expert at the University of Nebraska Medical
Center.

Frustrations are running particularly high because, unlike the
coronavirus, monkeypox has been studied for decades by global
and U.S. experts who know the tools, strategies and vaccine
protocols that can limit spread.

Biden administration officials on Wednesday said that they have
amply prepared for a monkeypox outbreak, touting the
government’s efforts to acquire more vaccine doses, warn the
public about the emerging outbreak, and begin distributing tests
to commercial labs across the country this week. They also
insisted their response reflected lessons learned from fighting
coronavirus, such as waiting to distribute the “right test that
works” to laboratories after federal officials distributed
flawed coronavirus tests in early 2020.

“All this work takes weeks to get it done right,” said Raj
Panjabi, who leads the White House’s global health security
efforts, reflecting on the “humility” that he said officials
have tried to apply to monkeypox after struggles in containing
the coronavirus and other outbreaks.

Monkeypox dilemma: How to warn gay men about risk without
fueling hate

Clinicians, patients and some administration officials have
faulted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for
testing criteria that they say are too narrow and have resulted
in long waits — sometimes multiple days — in identifying
positive cases. Under the current framework, physicians who want
a test for an individual suspected to have monkeypox must first
consult with a state epidemiologist. State public health
officials say that protocol helps identify people at highest
risk so doctors can recommend isolation and take other steps to
prevent community spread.

And just as in early 2020, when the coronavirus first menaced
the United States, federal officials at first limited monkeypox
testing to a network of several dozen public health laboratories
— and did not authorize thousands of commercial laboratories and
hospitals to perform their own testing, too.

Monkeypox testing is handled by 86 mostly state and local public
health labs, with capacity for more than 8,000 tests a week,
according to the CDC. But an official of a large city health
department who is working directly on monkeypox response said
that number is misleading, because the labs are not concentrated
around the major metropolitan areas where the bulk of infections
are detected.

Without better access to tests, which involves swabbing a
lesion, it is impossible for public health officials to know the
true prevalence of the disease.

Monkeypox has repeatedly emerged in Central and West Africa for
decades, but the current outbreak has been occurring in
countries that have not previously reported infections, raising
concern about how and why the disease appears to be gaining a
foothold in countries including Britain, Germany, Portugal and
Spain.

The response has also been hindered by U.S. physicians’ lack of
familiarity with the rare disease. The CDC initially publicized
decades-old photos from more severe outbreaks in Africa, instead
of the more subtle rashes detected in the recent global
outbreak. The United States was far slower than Britain and
Canada to distribute updated education materials, only recently
sharing photos showing what the rashes look like on fair skin,
said David Harvey, executive director of the National Coalition
of STD Directors.

“One of the things that worries me right now is that we are
seeing cases pop up in many countries, and we are also seeing
numbers being reported in places that are much more aggressive
in their surveillance than what we’ve seen here,” said Jennifer
Nuzzo, an epidemiologist at Brown University’s School of Public
Health.

While monkeypox has been spreading mostly among men who have sex
with men, the disease is not specific to any one group. “If a
woman doesn’t have a particular known risk factor, and some
woman shows up in urgent care, what’s the likelihood that she is
going to get found?” Nuzzo said.

In most cases, monkeypox symptoms disappear on their own within
a few weeks. But for pregnant women, children and people with
weak immune systems, the disease can lead to medical
complications, including death, according to the WHO.

Two federal officials involved in the monkeypox response said
there are “significantly” more cases across the United States
that are being missed because testing for monkeypox had not been
expanded beyond the network of public health laboratories.

“If we don’t move aggressively now, monkeypox is going to be
that much harder to eradicate later — or it could even become
endemic” in the United States, said one of the administration
officials, who is among more than two dozen across the
Department of Health and Human Services and the White House
tasked with combating the outbreak and who spoke on the
condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak
to the press. Many of the same teams have been working on the
coronavirus response.

On Wednesday, administration officials said they were
authorizing five major commercial laboratories to test for
monkeypox starting in early July, a dramatic expansion of
capacity. That could allow labs to conduct tens of thousands of
more tests a week. Health-care providers will be able to send
specimens directly to the commercial labs for testing without
having to first consult with state health officials to determine
whether testing criteria are met. Activists say the move was
overdue.

About 10 monkeypox tests per day were being performed nationwide
in early June, even as other countries such as Britain were
performing far more, a senior administration official said
Wednesday. While laboratory testing ramped up last week, only
about 700 total tests had been conducted as of June 17, the
official said.

Before the CDC made its test widely available to commercial
labs, the agency needed to update testing protocols, establish
agreements with the five labs and ensure personnel had personal
protective equipment and vaccinations to protect against
infection, according to a senior public health official who
spoke under Biden administration ground rules that they not be
named.

One man who sought testing on June 13 in New York City for
potential monkeypox symptoms — flu-like illness and swollen
lymph nodes — was initially advised by a physician that he did
not have the disease and did not need a test, said Joseph
Osmundson, a virologist at New York University, who spent
several days trying to help the individual obtain a test. The
man had recently returned to New York from Portugal, where he
said he had casual sex with other men. Health officials have
advised clinicians to look out for travel-associated cases from
Europe, and in situations in which men have had sex with men.

But the man told The Post his efforts to obtain a test were
repeatedly rebuffed — even after he was found to have “abnormal
HPV-like lesions” that weren’t readily visible.

“The pain has been like someone stabbing me from inside — I
couldn’t sit, I couldn’t sleep,” said the man, who spoke on the
condition of anonymity to protect his privacy. He said he went
to four different providers, including a major New York City
hospital, before an urgent care clinic collected a specimen on
Monday. He said he finally received his results on Thursday
afternoon, 10 days after he first sought testing. The results:
positive.

Osmundson said he was aware of a dozen similar cases in which
people with possible monkeypox symptoms were being rebuffed.

“The CDC is very narrowly defining criteria for testing, and the
[New York] Department of Health is not going outside those
criteria. So if you don’t check off on every single one of the
boxes, based on CDC, you don’t get access to testing,” Osmundson
said.

Michael Lanza, a spokesman for the New York City Department of
Health and Mental Hygiene, confirmed that providers must contact
the agency to evaluate the case and determine whether testing is
necessary. He said officials have not denied testing requests
except in cases with no rash or no known risk factors.

James Krellenstein, co-founder of PrEP4ALL, an HIV-care
nonprofit that has pressed state and federal officials to expand
testing, said that “no one can confidently say if the outbreak
is under control or not.”

“I’m extremely, extremely frustrated,” Krellenstein said. “It’s
as if what happened in covid in February of 2020 never happened.
This is not the first time, and to see CDC, HHS [and other
officials] make the same errors over again is inexplicable,
considering how large the cost was in 2020.”

Public health experts also have criticized U.S. officials for
not proactively vaccinating high-risk individuals against the
virus, even as other nations have moved more aggressively to do
so. Health officials in Britain announced a strategy Tuesday to
offer vaccine to some gay and bisexual men at higher risk of
exposure, and New York City officials on Thursday opened a
vaccine clinic to those who may have been recently exposed.
While U.S. officials have stockpiled two vaccines that are
effective against monkeypox, there is a limited supply of the
vaccine that is specifically authorized to prevent monkeypox,
Jynneos.

U.S. officials “need to have very serious planning
conversations” about proactively vaccinating people at high risk
for disease, said Janet Hamilton, executive director of the
Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists. She said
individuals who should be prioritized include men who have sex
with men, sex workers, lab personnel conducting monkeypox
testing, and health-care workers expected to provide direct care
for monkeypox patients.

Of the two vaccines that are effective against monkeypox,
Jynneos is in high global demand. The other vaccine, ACAM2000,
is older and was approved to prevent smallpox. While it is
effective against monkeypox, it can cause serious side effects
and cannot be used for people with severely weakened immune
systems or eczema, according to the CDC.

Senior public health officials said Wednesday they are
considering potential strategies for proactive vaccination.
Current CDC recommendations call for vaccinating those at high
risk after an exposure.

Inger Damon, the CDC’s top orthopoxvirus expert, said at a
briefing with reporters that federal officials have yet to
receive information from state and local health departments on
the number of Americans vaccinated against monkeypox.

Krellenstein, who joined a call with senior administration
officials on Tuesday to discuss the U.S. monkeypox strategy,
said the administration could not answer questions about vaccine
uptake.

“That’s very concerning, because we do need to be making sure
that this vaccine is going into arms,” Krellenstein said, adding
that the lack of clarity echoed the CDC’s data problems from the
coronavirus response.

Officials say they also are worried about possible supply chain
bottlenecks with the vaccine, a problem that emerged during the
coronavirus pandemic as countries competed for resources to
fight the virus, and hard-hit nations such as India moved to ban
exports of coronavirus vaccines.

Jynneos is produced by Bavarian Nordic in Denmark — and is the
only vaccine approved by the Food and Drug Administration to
prevent monkeypox. Some pandemic experts have warned that if the
outbreak worsens, European officials could institute an export
ban on Jynneos and limit shipments abroad.

The United States currently has more than 65,000 doses of
Jynneos, a two-shot vaccine, immediately available in its
Strategic National Stockpile, officials said. The federal
government has also requested that 300,000 additional government-
owned doses be soon shipped to the United States, and has
ordered another 500,000 doses to be delivered later this year.

Public health experts and activists are clamoring for more-
proactive vaccinations in high-risk communities, warning that
the outbreak could be amplified as the gay community celebrates
Pride Month and if clinicians miss opportunities to diagnose
probable cases of monkeypox.

“I had four close contacts that likely could have been avoided
if I’d gotten my early diagnosis,” said the New York City man
who was forced to visit four providers to get tested. He said he
decided on his own to isolate when his symptoms worsened,
because he worried about the virus spreading, undetected,
through the gay community. “Hopefully we can prevent that with
the vaccine,” he said.

HA! HA! You VINDICTIVE STUPID CUNTS! LESBIANS ARE TOO STUPID
TO CORRECTLY APPLY THE LAW AS WRITTEN, DANA NESSEL.

DETROIT – The Michigan Supreme Court on Tuesday threw out
charges against former Gov. Rick Snyder and others in the Flint
water scandal, saying a judge sitting as a one-person grand jury
had no power to issue indictments under rarely used state laws.

It’s an astonishing defeat for Attorney General Dana Nessel, who
took office in 2019, got rid of a special prosecutor and put
together a new team to investigate whether crimes were committed
when lead contaminated Flint’s water system in 2014-15.

State laws “authorize a judge to investigate, subpoena
witnesses, and issue arrest warrants” as a grand juror, the
Supreme Court said.

“But they do not authorize the judge to issue indictments,” the
court said in a 6-0 opinion written by Chief Justice Bridget
McCormack.

She called it a “Star Chamber comeback,” a pejorative reference
to an oppressive, closed-door style of justice in England in the
17th century.

The challenge was filed by lawyers for former health director
Nick Lyon, but the decision also applies to Snyder and others
who were indicted. The cases now will return to Genesee County
court with requests for dismissal.

“This wasn't even a close case — it was six-zip. ... They
couldn’t do what they tried to do," said Lyon attorney Chip
Chamberlain.

Snyder's legal team described the court's opinion as
“unequivocal and scathing.”

“These prosecutions of Governor Snyder and the other defendants
were never about seeking justice for the citizens of Flint,”
Snyder's lawyers said. “Rather, Attorney General Nessel and her
political appointee Solicitor General Fadwa Hammoud staged a
self-interested, vindictive, wasteful and politically motivated
prosecution.”

Hammoud, however, released a statement, insisting the cases
weren't over, based on her interpretation of the opinion. There
was no immediate response to a request for additional comment.

The saga began in 2014 when Flint managers appointed by Snyder
dropped out of a regional water system and began using the Flint
River to save money while a new pipeline to Lake Huron was under
construction. State regulators insisted the river water didn’t
need to be treated to reduce its corrosive qualities. But that
was a ruinous decision: Lead released from old pipes flowed for
18 months in the majority-Black city.

The Michigan Civil Rights Commission said it was the result of
systemic racism, doubting that the water switch and the brush-
off of complaints would have occurred in a white, prosperous
community.

Snyder, a Republican, has long acknowledged that his
administration failed in Flint, calling it a crisis born from a
“breakdown in state government.”

He was out of office in 2021 when he was charged with two
misdemeanor counts of willful neglect of duty. Lyon and
Michigan’s former chief medical executive, Dr. Eden Wells, were
charged with involuntary manslaughter for nine deaths related to
Legionnaires’ disease when Flint’s water might have lacked
enough chlorine to combat bacteria.

Six others were also indicted on various charges: Snyder’s
longtime fixer, Rich Baird; former senior aide Jarrod Agen;
former Flint managers Gerald Ambrose and Darnell Earley; former
Flint public works chief Howard Croft; and Nancy Peeler, a state
health department manager.

Nessel assigned Hammoud to lead the criminal investigation,
along with Wayne County prosecutor Kym Worthy, while the
attorney general focused on settling lawsuits against the state.

Hammoud and Worthy turned to a one-judge grand jury in Genesee
County to hear evidence in secret and get indictments against
Snyder and others.

Prosecutors in Michigan typically file charges after a police
investigation. A one-judge grand jury is extremely rare and is
mostly used to protect witnesses, especially in violent crimes,
who can testify in private.

“It seems that the power of a judge conducting an inquiry to
issue an indictment was simply an unchallenged assumption, until
now,” the Supreme Court said Tuesday.

Lyon, the former state health director, was accused of
contributing to Legionnaires’ deaths by failing to timely warn
the public about an outbreak. His lawyers, however, said he had
ordered experts to investigate the illnesses and notify Flint-
area health officials. He had no role in Flint's water switch.

“State employees should not be prosecuted or demonized for just
doing their job,” Lyon said after the court's decision.

Residents were disappointed.

“So everyone who was involved in this manmade disaster by the
government is walking away scot-free?” said Leon El-Alamin, a
community activist. "We lock people up every day for petty
crimes. Something like this has killed people. People died from
the Flint water crisis.”

Former Mayor Karen Weaver said the result was unfair.

“One of the things we had been told over and over was justice
delayed has not been justice denied. But that’s not true for the
people of Flint," said Weaver, referring to the years that have
passed.

The water switch and its consequences have been investigated
since 2016 when then-Attorney General Bill Schuette, a
Republican, appointed Todd Flood as special prosecutor. Schuette
pledged to put people in prison, but the results were different:
Seven people pleaded no contest to misdemeanors that were
eventually scrubbed from their records.

Flood insisted he was winning cooperation from key witnesses and
moving higher toward bigger names. Nonetheless, Nessel, a
Democrat, fired him and pledged to start over following her
election as attorney general.

Separately, the state agreed to pay $600 million as part of a
$626 million settlement with Flint residents and property owners
who were harmed by lead-tainted water. Most of the money is
going to children.

There is no dispute that lead affects the brain and nervous
system, especially in children. Experts have not identified a
safe lead level in kids.

Flint in 2015 returned to a water system based in southeastern
Michigan. Meanwhile, roughly 10,100 lead or steel water lines
had been replaced at homes by last December.

HA! HA! You VINDICTIVE STUPID CUNTS! LESBIANS ARE TOO STUPID
TO CORRECTLY APPLY THE LAW AS WRITTEN, DANA NESSEL.

The Michigan Supreme Court on Tuesday overturned the state's use
of one-man grand juries to issue indictments in the Flint water
criminal cases, a decision that is likely to upend the second
round of prosecutions linked to the city's water crisis.

Former Gov. Rick Snyder's legal team said they would use the
ruling to get two misdemeanor charges against the two-term
Republican governor tossed out.

Solicitor General Fadwa Hammoud said Flint residents should know
the cases are not over and that the prosecutorial team is
"prepared to move forward."

"We relied upon settled law and the well-established
prosecutorial tool of the one-man grand jury, used for decades,
to bring forward charges against the nine defendants in the
Flint water crisis," Hammoud wrote in a Tuesday statement. "We
still believe these charges can and will be proven in court."

In a unanimous decision, the state Supreme Court found that a
one-judge grand jury can be used to investigate, subpoena and
issue arrest warrants but it cannot be used to indict an
individual.

The justices also ruled that the Genesee County Circuit Court
erred in denying a motion to dismiss a case against former state
health Director Nick Lyon, whose first round of criminal charges
were dismissed by prosecutors in June of 2019.

of one-man grand jury

The high court found that state health official Nancy Peeler and
former Gov. Rick Snyder aide Richard Baird had a right to a
preliminary examination following their indictments.

Attorney General Dana Nessel's prosecution team had been trying
to move straight to trial with Peeler, Baird and other
defendants, including Snyder.

The justices remanded the three cases at issue back to Genesee
County Circuit Court for reconsideration in light of the ruling.

Snyder's legal team said Tuesday it would immediately file to
dismiss all criminal charges against the former governor, who,
in January 2021, was charged with two misdemeanor counts of
willful neglect of duty over his handling of Flint's lead-
tainted water crisis. Baird's team said a motion to dismiss in
his case is already pending in the Michigan Court of Appeals.

"Attorney General Nessel and her political appointee Solicitor
General Fadwa Hammoud staged a self-interested, vindictive,
wasteful and politically motivated prosecution," Snyder's team
said in a Tuesday statement. "The people of Michigan will recall
how Solicitor General Hammoud took to the stage at every
opportunity to grandstand, but they now see the truth from
Michigan’s highest court of law."

While the Supreme Court's order for dismissal is specific to
Lyon, it's likely all of the defendants indicted through the
grand jury process can file motions to dismiss in Genesee County
based on the high court's Tuesday ruling, said attorney John
Bursch, who argued Lyon's case before the Supreme Court.

"The way the office went about bringing these charges shows that
the charges were illegitimate from the start," Bursch said.

The solicitor general said her team is determined to continue
pursuing the allegations against the defendants.

"Our reading is that the court’s opinion interprets the one-man
grand jury process to require charges to be filed at the
district court and include a preliminary examination," Hammoud
said.

'Star Chamber comeback'
In the majority opinion, Chief Justice Bridget McCormack
referred to the attorney general office's use of a one-judge
grand jury as a "Star Chamber comeback," a reference to a
centuries-old, secretive court abused by high-ranking officials
in the Middle Ages.

"A Genesee County judge served as the one-man 'grand' jury and
considered the evidence not in a public courtroom but in secret,
a Star Chamber comeback," McCormack wrote.

"The one-man grand jury then issued charges. To this day, the
defendants do not know what evidence the prosecution presented
to convince the grand jury (i.e., juror) to charge them."

The majority found that the law as it stands includes a right to
a preliminary examination, but does not expressly permit a judge
to indict an individual. In the past, one-judge grand juries
have issued indictments on the "unchallenged assumption, until
now" that the law permitted as much.

Justice Richard Bernstein wrote in a concurrence that the court
recognized the effect the decision would have on Flint residents
but said it was "paramount" to use proper procedure.

"... there would be little credibility to a criminal process
that purports to strike a fair balance between adversaries if
the guarantees underpinning that criminal process—such as the
statutory right to a preliminary examination—could be done away
with at the whims of the prosecution," Bernstein wrote.

Justice Elizabeth Clement recused herself from the 6-0 decision
because of her prior job as chief legal counsel to Snyder.

The decision from the high court was issued in the case of
former state Health and Human Services Department director Lyon,
who was charged in January 2021 with nine counts of involuntary
manslaughter through a Genesee County one-judge grand jury.

Future Flint cases in doubt
The opinion sets a precedent for the use of one-judge grand
juries across the state of Michigan and calls into question how
or to what extent charges can be re-authorized against the Flint
defendants.

Most of the charges Nessel's office issued against Michigan
officials in January 2021 in the Flint case carry a six-year
statute of limitations, which bars prosecution if charges are
issued six years after the date of the alleged crime.
Manslaughter carries a 10-year statute of limitations.

The Flint water switch occurred in April 2014, but some charges
Nessel authorized occurred in the years after the switch as the
lead-tainted water crisis and Legionnaires' outbreak unfolded
and, later, as officials made statements in the investigation
that would later be used against them.

When asked a week ago about how a Supreme Court reversal of the
one-judge grand jury policy would affect the Flint cases,
Nessel's office responded that the department "will refrain from
speculating regarding a ruling by the court and its potential
impact."

Bursch urged the attorney general's office to change course with
Tuesday's opinion.

"There’s a serious statute of limitations problem now for any
defendant that is charged with a misdemeanor," he said. "Even as
to the defendants charged with felonies, the attorney general’s
office should not recharge.”

One-judge grand jury upended
Michigan's one-judge grand jury has been used sparingly in most
of state's 83 counties, with the exception of recent and
targeted use by Wayne, Genesee and Kent counties for largely
violent, organized crimes involving narcotics, homicide, gangs
or non-fatal shootings.

Prosecutors for Genesee, Wayne and Kent counties said they are
reviewing the Supreme Court opinion to see what potential impact
it will have on their current and past cases involving a one-
judge grand juror.

The secretive process of one-man grand juries allows a
prosecutor to bring witnesses and evidence privately to a judge,
who sits as a single juror and eventually decides on whether to
indict an individual.

Potential defendants and their lawyers usually are excluded from
the grand jury process — eliminating their access to a
traditional pretrial phase in which a prosecutor is required to
present the evidence supporting the charges in a public
preliminary examination before the case moves to circuit court
for trial.

The process eliminates the prosecutor's task of deciding whether
to bring charges, abolishes the normal evidentiary hearings
prior to trial and keeps everything under absolute secrecy until
the indictment is issued.

Several Flint defendants had argued the use of a one-judge grand
juror violates the separation of powers by allowing a judge to
both investigate and charge an individual.

The Flint charges affected by the Supreme Court's decision
include nine manslaughter charges against Lyon; two counts of
willful neglect of duty against Snyder; charges of perjury,
misconduct in office, obstruction of justice and extortion
against Baird; and a charge of perjury against Snyder chief of
staff Jarrod Agen.

Additional charges included nine counts of manslaughter,
misconduct in office and willful neglect of duty against former
state chief medical executive Dr. Eden Wells; three counts of
misconduct in office against Flint emergency manager Darnell
Earley; four counts of misconduct in office against emergency
manager Gerald Ambrose; two counts of willful neglect of duty
against former Flint Public Works Director Howard Croft; and two
counts of misconduct in office and willful neglect of duty
against Nancy Peeler, the state's director of maternal, infant
and early childhood home visits.

HA! HA! You VINDICTIVE STUPID CUNTS! LESBIANS ARE TOO STUPID
TO CORRECTLY APPLY THE LAW AS WRITTEN, DANA NESSEL.

A judge had no authority to issue indictments in the Flint water
scandal, the Michigan Supreme Court said Tuesday, wiping out
charges against former Gov. Rick Snyder, his health director and
seven other people.

It's an astonishing defeat for Attorney General Dana Nessel, who
took office in 2019, got rid of a special prosecutor and put
together a new team to investigate whether crimes were committed
when lead contaminated Flint's water system in 2014-15.

State laws "authorize a judge to investigate, subpoena
witnesses, and issue arrest warrants" as a one-person grand
jury, the Supreme Court said.

"But they do not authorize the judge to issue indictments," the
court said in a 6-0 opinion.

In a money-saving move, Flint managers appointed by Snyder
switched the city's water source to the Flint River. State
regulators said the river water didn't need to be treated to
reduce its corrosive qualities. That was a ruinous decision:
Lead from old pipes flowed through the system for 18 months in
the majority-Black city.

Snyder was charged with two misdemeanor counts of willful
neglect of duty. Ex-health chief Nick Lyon and Michigan's former
chief medical executive, Dr. Eden Wells, were charged with
involuntary manslaughter for nine deaths related to
Legionnaires' disease when Flint's water system might have
lacked enough chlorine to combat bacteria in the river water.

Six others were also indicted on various charges: Snyder's
longtime fixer, Rich Baird; former senior aide Jarrod Agen;
former Flint managers Gerald Ambrose and Darnell Earley; former
Flint public works chief Howard Croft; and Nancy Peeler, a state
health department manager.

Nessel assigned Fadwa Hammoud to lead the criminal
investigation, along with Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy,
while the attorney general focused on settling lawsuits against
the state.

Hammoud and Worthy turned to a one-judge grand jury in Genesee
County — a century-old, rarely used method — to hear evidence in
secret and get indictments against Snyder and others.

GENEVA, May 27 (Reuters) - Countries should take quick steps to

Monkeypox is a usually mild viral infection that is endemic in
parts of west and central Africa.

It spreads chiefly through close contact and until the recent
outbreak, was rarely seen in other parts of the world, which is
why the recent emergence of cases in Europe, the United States
and other areas has raised alarms.

Lock homosexuals in isolated prisons to stop the spread.

Jake Sullivan, President Biden's White House national security
adviser, is the "foreign policy advisor" referred to in the
indictment of former Hillary Clinton presidential campaign
lawyer Michael Sussmann, according to two well-placed sources.

This is the closest Special Counsel John Durham's investigation
into the origins of the Russia investigation has come to anyone
directly associated with the Biden White House.

GREG GUTFELD: OF COURSE THE MEDIA WON'T ADMIT IT GOT THE STEELE
DOSSIER WRONG

Sussmann was indicted for allegedly lying to the FBI on Sept.
16, and has pleaded not guilty to one count of making a false
statement to a federal agent. This case came out of Durham’s
probe into the origins of the Russia investigation.

Durham’s indictment alleges Sussmann told then-FBI General
Counsel James Baker he was not doing work "for any client" when
he requested and held a September 2016 meeting in which he
provided evidence of a purported secret communications channel
between then-candidate Donald Trump and Russia.

In fact, he later billed the Clinton campaign for the meeting,
according to Durham's indictment. The FBI also looked into the
story about the alleged link between the Trump presidential
campaign and the Russian bank, it turned out to be bogus.

WAPO MEDIA CRITIC SAYS DURHAM INDICTMENT IS ‘BAD NEWS’ FOR THOSE
WHO HYPED STEELE DOSSIER

The Durham indictment lays out a scenario where an unnamed
Clinton campaign lawyer, "exchanged emails with the Clinton
Campaign’s campaign manager, communications director, and
foreign policy advisor [Jake Sullivan] concerning the Russian
Bank-1 allegations that Sussmann had recently shared," with an
unnamed reporter.

There is no indication that Sullivan is a target of Durham’s
investigation, only that he received information from a campaign
lawyer.

Fox News has reached out to Sullivan’s office for comment. White
House Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre referred Fox
News to the Department of Justice and said the White House had
no comment as of Tuesday. "I don't know anything about what
you're you're just mentioning," Jean-Pierre said. "So I have to
to talk to our team."

The Durham indictment also alleges that Sussmann was working on
behalf of a tech industry executive, an American internet
company and Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.

Prosecutors say Sussmann's "lie" is important because it "misled
the FBI General Counsel and other FBI personnel concerning the
political nature of his work."

Another grand jury indictment was returned on Nov. 4 for Igor
Danchenko, a Russian analyst who is accused of being the primary
sub-source in the Steele dossier. He is charged with five counts
of making false statements to the FBI and his next court
appearance is scheduled for Wednesday.

Purely Political, By James Buckley

Hillary Clinton and her devotees love to toss out the idea that
Donald Trump and the entire Republican Party present an
“existential threat to our democracy,” but the truth (and they
know it) is that Hillary and her supporters are the real
existential threat.

A Hillary Clinton presidency would have dealt a death blow to
democracy in this country.

The federal trial that took place for the most part of the last
month in Washington, D.C., is the “smoking gun” that proves that
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was the real
impetus behind all the moves to first thwart and then overturn
the Trump presidency.

Justice Department Special Counsel John Durham, heading up the
prosecution of Hillary campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, is the
kind of lawman that legends are made of. Mr. Durham, a former
prosecutor and U.S. attorney for the District of Connecticut,
has a prosecutorial history that features a stint as special
investigator on the Whitey Bulger case, as well as the
successful reversal of murder convictions of four men — Enrico
Tameleo, Joseph Salvati, Peter J. Limone and Louis Greco — who
had apparently been framed by the FBI and whose families secured
a $101.7 million civil judgment against the U.S. government.

Mr. Durham tore through New England revealing FBI agents’ ties
to the Mafia and prosecuted Mafioso figures as well as former
Republican Connecticut Gov. John Rowland. Appointed a special
prosecutor by Attorney General Janet Reno back in 1999, he put
together a team of FBI agents from outside the Boston area to
investigate corruption in the Boston-based FBI office. The
racketeering conviction of retired FBI agent John Connolly Jr.
(under the RICO statutes) and indictment of retired FBI agent H.
Paul Rico (he died before going to trial) followed.

So it seemed appropriate that Attorney General William Barr — at
the request of President Trump — would appoint Mr. Durham to
look into possible Russian interference in the 2016 elections.
That inquiry turned into a criminal probe that so far has led to
the conviction of FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith, who admitted
altering a CIA email to secure a Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Act tap of Carter Page, a Trump staffer.

Mr. Durham’s indictment of former Perkins Coie lawyer/partner
Michael Sussmann reveals how devious, how utterly corrupt,
Hillary Clinton and her sycophants and apologists in the press
really were and continue to be. In collusion with Mr. Sussmann
and others, the Clinton campaign packaged and paid for the phony
Steele dossier and both created and perpetuated the “Russia
Collusion” hoax that the mainstream media relied on to tarnish
Mr. Trump before and during his entire presidency.

Just how insidious this plot against the president was is
outlined in the Sussmann indictment.

“In or about early August 2016,” it reads, “Tech Executive-1
called an individual at Internet Company-3. During the call,
Tech Executive-1 instructed the individual to task Internet
Company-3 employees to search for any Internet date reflecting
potential connections or communications between Trump or his
associates and Russia.

“In connection with this tasking, and as alleged in further
detail below, Tech Executive-1’s goal was to support an
‘inference’ and ‘narrative’ regarding Trump that would please
certain ‘VIPs.’

No connections were found, so they’d need to create one.

“It would be possible,” Originator-1 explains, “to fill out a
sales form on two websites, faking the other company’s email
address in each form” and thereby cause them “to appear to
communicate with each other.” Originator-1 then concluded: “If
Tech Executive-1 can take the *inference* we gain through this
team exercise … then work to develop even an inference may be
worthwhile.”

“Let’s for a moment think of the best-case scenario,” he
continued, “where we are able to show (somehow) that DNS
[Director of National Security] communication exists between
Trump and Russia. How do we plan to defend against the criticism
that this is not spoofed traffic we are observing? There is no
answer to that. Let’s assume again they (investigative reporters
and security experts) are not smart enough to refute our ‘best
case’ scenario.”

Tech Executive-1 interrupts: “You do realize,” he says, “that we
will have to expose every trick we have in our bag to even make
a very weak association? Let’s all reflect upon that for a
moment … The only thing that drives us at this point is that we
just do not like Trump. This will not fly in (the) eyes of
public scrutiny. Folks, I am afraid we have tunnel vision. Time
to regroup?”

Mr. Durham’s indictment cites that: “SUSSMANN continued to bill
time on these matters to the Clinton Campaign.”

Later, the team leader brags about the white paper having
“smartly” avoided discussing weaknesses or “holes” in the
paper’s hypothesis: “A DNS expert would poke several holes to
this hypothesis (primarily around visibility, about which very
smartly you do not talk about). That being said, I do not think
even the top security (non-DNS) researchers can refute your
statements.”

“Nice!”

In other words, no one would be smart enough to realize that the
entire collusion narrative was fraudulent. Even the most
hardened of Democrats should be ashamed and unnerved by these
revelations.

Former President Trump had no connection with Russian President
Vladimir Putin. There was no “collusion” between the 2016 Trump
for President campaign and anyone in Russia, president or
otherwise. We do know, however, that collusion took place
between the 2016 Hillary for President campaign and Russian
interlopers.

Because President Trump exposed the Russia collusion/Steele
dossier gambit as the dirty political trick that it was, the
Democratic Party impeached him for it. “Obstruction of justice”
charges were leveled against the president for calling a hoax a
hoax.

No one should wonder why some of us continue to believe that the
2020 election was indeed a sham and that President Trump should
still be President Trump.

NSC says correct number of Biden trips to Iraq and Afghanistan
is 21, not the 40 he claimed

President Biden Friday again made an exaggeration about the
number of times he's been to the Middle East, as he gave a
commencement speech to U.S. Naval Academy graduates in Maryland.

"I've been in and out of Iraq and Afghanistan of over 40 I think
38 times," the president said.

That number was incorrect, however. A spokesperson for Biden's
National Security Council (NSC) said Friday the correct number
of times Biden visited Iraq and Afghanistan is 21.

Biden made the Friday comment in the context of congratulating
Naval Academy graduates of being, "members of the greatest
fighting force in the history of the world." The president said
that based on his visits to the Middle East, and his family's
military service, he has firsthand knowledge of the quality of
the U.S. armed forces.

"I've seen you in action, this is the finest military, not a
joke, we have the finest military in the history of the world,"
Biden said.

Friday's statement was not the first time Biden's made a false
claim about how often he's visited the Middle East. While
running for president, Biden said at least once he'd been to
Iraq and Afghanistan "over 30 times," according to the
Washington Post.

There you have it. A Democrat liar drunk with power pretending

Of course there had to be a Massachusetts hack or two connected
to Hillary Clinton’s Russian collusion hoax scandal — we’ve
known that for months now.

His name is Charles H. Dolan Jr., and he turns 72 next month.
He’s got the usual shabby fourth-string coat holder Democrat
credentials, including making much more than $100,000 from real,
documented collusion with assorted sinister Russian nationals.

According to the federal criminal indictment last year of one of
his Kremlin cronies, Dolan was at least indirectly involved in
concocting the most noxious calumny of all in Hillary Clinton’s
dodgy dossier — the Donald Trump “pee tape,” which was
absolutely false.

Because Dolan has not been indicted, he’s only identified by the
feds as “PR Executive-1.” But his lawyer has admitted that he is
the UMass ’74 grad who apparently started the bogus story, even
if inadvertently.

Now it turns out that Dolan has one other impeccable
qualification as a Massachusetts Democrat career payroll Charlie.

He was once arrested and charged with drunken driving, reckless
driving, speeding and marked-lane violations after boozing it up
at a local hack hangout in Newburyport. He lost his driver’s
license for 45 days.

In 2014, the charges against the dipso Demo were “continued
without a finding” because … Democrats.

We’ve known about this hack’s hack since November, when one of
Dolan’s comrades, a dodgy Russian operative named Igor
Danchenko, was indicted and charged with lying to the FBI about
his role in concocting Hillary Clinton’s bought-and-paid-for
fake “dossier.”

But the press seemed intent on giving Dolan a good leaving
alone, perhaps because he has been involved for decades in the
corrupt campaigns of both Clintons. The Wall Street Journal and
the Washington Post finally picked up Dolan’s trail Tuesday,
complete with a pro forma denial from the Clintons:

“A longtime aide to both Bill and Hillary Clinton said she had
no recollection of Dolan.”

Very predictable response, right out of the old Mission:
Impossible TV series about how any operative is to be treated if
apprehended: “As always, the secretary will disavow any
knowledge of your actions.”

What really happened, according to the feds, was that Dolan
junketed to Moscow in 2016 on yet another mission for his
nefarious Red paymasters. He’d long been on the Russians’
payroll whenever wasn’t handling low-level campaign chores like
stuffing envelopes or doing phone-bank work for the Clintons. In
Moscow, he stayed at the Ritz-Carlton near the Kremlin. When he
got back to D.C., he chatted up comrade Danchenko.

In paragraph 67 of the Danchenko indictment, the feds note that
the pee story in Hillary’s dossier “bore substantial
similarities to information that PR Executive-1 received during
the 2016 time period.”

Maybe he didn’t even realize what he was telling Hillary’s
Russian operative. But it turns out the pee tape lie that wasn’t
Dolan’s only big whopper in the dossier.

In paragraph 52, Dolan is accused of telling Putin’s puppet
Danchenko that he had gotten inside dope on the firing of a
Trump campaign staffer from a “GOP friend.”

In fact, the feds say, Dolan had no such friend and according to
the G-men utterly “fabricated the facts of the meeting.”

But he hasn’t been charged with any crimes because, once again …
Democrats.

The Post is now describing Dolan as “one of the most mysterious
figures in the saga of the Steele dossier.”

But he’s mysterious only because they haven’t looked very hard
at him, for obvious reasons. A couple of years, the Post gave
itself a Pulitzer Prize for their “deeply reported” stories
about what they are now tacitly admitting was a 100% Democrat
hoax.

Consider the drunken-driving charges. They were detailed in the
Newburyport Daily News, complete with his home address in
Arlington, Va., where he lives in a $1.4 million mansion.

According to the court documents, before being lugged by the
local constabulary, Dolan imbibed his last drink at David’s
Tavern in Brown Square, Newburyport.

Sadly, David’s appears to have gone out of business. A few
months after Dolan ingested his bad ice cube, it was shut down
by the state Department of Revenue (DOR). According to the
Newburyport Daily News, David’s had the distinction of “owing
more unpaid taxes than any other business” in the state —
$81,272.

No wonder it was a local “fixture for politicians.” Deadbeat
Democrat birds of a feather fly together. But I still wanted to
know what was the tosspot’s last call for alcohol.

With his Ted Kennedy-Bill Weld ruddy complexion, if you get my
drift, Dolan strikes me as a Lord Hobo IPA-loving type of guy.

However, Dolan’s lawyer did not respond to either phone calls or
emails.

But you don’t have to dig into court documents to get an idea of
just what a duplicitous dolt Dolan is. At his alma mater,
ZooMass, Putin’s pampered puppet is a member of “the Department
of Political Science Advisory Board.”

ZooMass did not respond to my inquiries about whether he’s still
one of their extinguished, I mean distinguished alumni. But the
school’s website does feature his comments about the school.

“It is part of my DNA,” Dolan said, although he surely meant to
say BAC, “and I would not be where I am today without my UMass
education.”

And where he is is right in the middle of the biggest political
dirty-tricks scandal in American history. And his only defense
seems to be that he had no idea how his preposterously
embellished BS stories were going to be used.

Mysterious figure? Not if you’re from Massachusetts he isn’t.
Hell, I wish the likes of Charles Dolan were mysterious figures
around here, instead of being so thick on the ground.

Maybe then the state wouldn’t be the laughingstock of the
nation, not to mention a complete left-wing basket case.

The World Health Organization's Europe chief warned Friday that
monkeypox cases in the region have tripled in the last two weeks
and urged countries to do more to ensure the previously rare
disease does not become entrenched on the continent.

And African health authorities said they are treating the
expanding monkeypox outbreak as an emergency, calling on rich
countries to share limited supplies of vaccines to avoid equity
problems seen during the COVID-19 pandemic.

WHO Europe chief Dr. Hans Kluge said in a statement that
increased efforts were needed despite the U.N. health agency's
decision last week that the escalating outbreak did not yet
warrant being declared a global health emergency.

"Urgent and coordinated action is imperative if we are to turn a
corner in the race to reverse the ongoing spread of this
disease," Kluge said.

To date, more than 5,000 monkeypox cases have been reported from
51 countries worldwide that don't normally report the disease,
according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention. Kluge said the number of infections in Europe
represents about 90% of the global total, with 31 countries in
the WHO's European region having identified cases.

Kluge said data reported to the WHO show that 99% of cases have
been in men — the majority in men that have sex with men. But he
said there were now "small numbers" of cases among household
contacts, including children. Most people reported symptoms
including a rash, fever, fatigue, muscle pain, vomiting and
chills.

Scientists warn anyone who is in close physical contact with
someone who has monkeypox or their clothing or bedsheets is at
risk of infection. Vulnerable populations like children and
pregnant women are thought more likely to suffer severe disease.

About 10% of patients were hospitalized for treatment or to be
isolated, and one person was admitted to an intensive care unit.
No deaths have been reported.

Kluge said the problem of stigmatization in some countries might
make some people wary of seeking health care and said the WHO
was working with partners including organizers of gay pride
events.

In the U.K., which has the biggest monkeypox outbreak beyond
Africa, officials have noted the disease is spreading in
"defined sexual networks of gay, bisexual, or men who have sex
with men." British health authorities said there were no signs
suggesting sustained transmission beyond those populations.

A leading WHO adviser said in May that the spike in cases in
Europe was likely tied to sexual activity by men at two rave
parties in Spain and Belgium.

Ahead of gay pride events in the U.K. this weekend, London's top
public health doctor asked people with symptoms of monkeypox,
like swollen glands or blisters, to stay home.

Nevertheless in Africa the WHO says that according to detailed
data from Ghana monkeypox cases were almost evenly split between
men and women, and no spread has been detected among men who
have sex with men.

WHO Europe director Kluge also said the procurement of vaccines
"must apply the principles of equity."

The main vaccine being used against monkeypox was originally
developed for smallpox and the European Medicines Agency said
this week it was beginning to evaluate whether it should be
authorized for monkeypox. The WHO has said supplies of the
vaccine, made by Bavarian Nordic, are extremely limited.

Countries including the U.K. and Germany have already begun
vaccinating people at high risk of monkeypox; the U.K. recently
widened its immunization program to mostly gay and bisexual men
who have multiple sexual partners and are thought to be most
vulnerable.

Until May, monkeypox had never been known to cause large
outbreaks beyond parts of central and west Africa, where it's
been sickening people for decades, is endemic in several
countries and mostly causes limited outbreaks when it jumps to
people from infected wild animals.

To date, there have been about 1,800 suspected monkeypox cases
in Africa, including more than 70 deaths, but only 109 have been
lab-confirmed. The lack of laboratory diagnosis and weak
surveillance means many cases are going undetected.

"This particular outbreak for us means an emergency," said Ahmed
Ogwell, the acting director of the Africa Centers for Disease
Control.

The WHO says monkeypox has spread to African countries where it
hasn’t previously been seen, including South Africa, Ghana and
Morocco. But more than 90% of the continent’s infections are in
Congo and Nigeria, according to WHO Africa director, Dr. Moeti
Matshidiso.

Vaccines have never been used to stop monkeypox outbreaks in
Africa; officials have relied mostly on contact tracing and
isolation.

The WHO noted that similar to the scramble last year for COVID-
19 vaccines, countries with supplies of vaccines for monkeypox
are not yet sharing them with Africa.

"We do not have any donations that have been offered to (poorer)
countries," said Fiona Braka, who heads the WHO emergency
response team in Africa. "We know that those countries that have
some stocks, they are mainly reserving them for their own
populations."

Matshidiso said the WHO was in talks with manufacturers and
countries with stockpiles to see if they might be shared.

"We would like to see the global spotlight on monkeypox act as a
catalyst to beat this disease once and for all in Africa," she
said Thursday.

The World Health Organization's Europe chief warned Friday that
monkeypox cases in the region have tripled in the last two weeks
and urged countries to do more to ensure the previously rare
disease does not become entrenched on the continent.
And African health authorities said they are treating the
expanding monkeypox outbreak as an emergency, calling on rich
countries to share limited supplies of vaccines to avoid equity
problems seen during the COVID-19 pandemic.
WHO Europe chief Dr. Hans Kluge said in a statement that
increased efforts were needed despite the U.N. health agency's
decision last week that the escalating outbreak did not yet
warrant being declared a global health emergency.
"Urgent and coordinated action is imperative if we are to turn a
corner in the race to reverse the ongoing spread of this
disease," Kluge said.
To date, more than 5,000 monkeypox cases have been reported from
51 countries worldwide that don't normally report the disease,
according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention. Kluge said the number of infections in Europe
represents about 90% of the global total, with 31 countries in
the WHO's European region having identified cases.
Kluge said data reported to the WHO show that 99% of cases have
been in men — the majority in men that have sex with men. But he
said there were now "small numbers" of cases among household
contacts, including children. Most people reported symptoms
including a rash, fever, fatigue, muscle pain, vomiting and
chills.
Scientists warn anyone who is in close physical contact with
someone who has monkeypox or their clothing or bedsheets is at
risk of infection. Vulnerable populations like children and
pregnant women are thought more likely to suffer severe disease.
About 10% of patients were hospitalized for treatment or to be
isolated, and one person was admitted to an intensive care unit.
No deaths have been reported.
Kluge said the problem of stigmatization in some countries might
make some people wary of seeking health care and said the WHO
was working with partners including organizers of gay pride
events.
In the U.K., which has the biggest monkeypox outbreak beyond
Africa, officials have noted the disease is spreading in
"defined sexual networks of gay, bisexual, or men who have sex
with men." British health authorities said there were no signs
suggesting sustained transmission beyond those populations.
A leading WHO adviser said in May that the spike in cases in
Europe was likely tied to sexual activity by men at two rave
parties in Spain and Belgium.
Ahead of gay pride events in the U.K. this weekend, London's top
public health doctor asked people with symptoms of monkeypox,
like swollen glands or blisters, to stay home.

The queers know how to stop it. If they won't, let the fucking
degenerates die.

Infectious disease experts and public health advocates are
warning that the Biden administration has been too slow to
respond to the monkeypox outbreak and that the U.S. is at risk
of losing control of the disease.

The response to monkeypox is mirroring the worst parts of the
early days of the coronavirus pandemic, they say, with severely
limited testing and a sluggish rollout of vaccines leading to a
virus that’s spreading undetected.

“Where we have lagged is streamlining testing, making vaccines
available, streamlining access to the best therapeutics. All
three areas have been bureaucratic and slow, and that means we
haven’t contained this outbreak,” said David Harvey, executive
director of the National Coalition of STD Directors (NCSD).

Unlike COVID-19, monkeypox is not a novel virus, and the
strategies to reduce the spread are well known. Biden
administration officials said they are confident in their
approach.

“We as a global community have known about it for decades. We
know how it spreads. We have tests that help identify people who
are infected. We have vaccines that are highly effective against
it,” White House coronavirus response coordinator Ashish Jha
said during a recent briefing.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC), there are 460 cases in 30 states, Puerto Rico and D.C.,
though experts say that number is almost certainly an
undercount, as many people who may be infected don’t yet have
access to widespread testing.

The administration is ramping up its response by expanding
testing capacity and broadening access to vaccinations, though
critics say the efforts may be coming too late.

“We’ve been sort of screaming for a month about how bad the
diagnostic situation is for monkeypox. And that really was a
clear error, preventable, and it’s very clear that this
administration has not learned lessons from early COVID,” said
James Krellenstein, co-founder of the HIV treatment advocacy
group Prep4All.

Jon Andrus, an adjunct professor of global health at George
Washington University’s Milken Institute School of Public
Health, said the U.S. is lucky that monkeypox is not as
contagious as COVID-19, or as deadly, because the public health
system is underfunded and overly fractured.

“I think we’ll continue to repeat these mistakes because that’s
been our track record. That’s been our track record. We’ve had,
what, more than five or six waves of COVID, and we seem every
time to be a little bit caught off guard,” Andrus said.
“Stopping transmission requires that we’re all reading from the
same page. We all have the same road map.”

The administration expanded testing to commercial labs in late
June, so providers will soon be able to order tests directly
from the labs where they have established relationships and can
jump through fewer hoops.

But it took more than a month for that move to happen, which
increased testing capacity from about 8,000 tests a week to
10,000 across the entire system.

Demand is also not evenly spread across the public health
laboratory networks; it is concentrated in urban areas such as
New York City, leading to backlogs and frustrated patients who
wait days for test results.

Biden administration health officials this week touted efforts
to expand testing.

“I strongly encourage all health care providers to have a high
clinical suspicion for monkeypox among their patients,” CDC
Director Rochelle Walensky said during a call with reporters.
“Patients presenting with a suspicious rash should be tested.”

Testing for monkeypox is a relatively simple process that
involves swabbing a skin lesion. Unlike with COVID-19, the CDC
already had a previously developed test, but patients were
limited to a narrow set of specific criteria in order to qualify
for testing.

“We already had testing available. We already had vaccines
available. We should have really been much more aggressive with
testing … and I think this speaks to some of the bureaucracy of
both FDA [Food and Drug Administration] and CDC,” said Celine
Gounder, an infectious disease specialist and editor-at-large
for public health at Kaiser Health News.

“Getting the commercial labs on board they could have done
sooner. Getting academic medical centers to do testing, hospital
labs to develop their own PCR tests. I mean, that’s not a very
difficult thing to do,” Gounder said.

The White House is also working to scale up its vaccination
program and announced a plan to immediately send out tens of
thousands of doses of Jynneos, the only FDA-approved vaccine
specifically for monkeypox.

More than a million doses will be made available throughout the
year. The CDC is also broadening the eligibility criteria so
individuals with confirmed monkeypox exposures and presumed
exposures can be vaccinated, rather than only those who have a
confirmed case.

But activists and experts say the administration moved too
slowly and that the updated vaccination strategy is not nearly
sufficient.

“We believe this outbreak is already out of control. So, we have
not contained it. Vaccines are not going to contain it at this
point. Because we don’t have enough. Getting them into arms is
an expensive and intense process,” said NCSD’s Harvey.

New York City and Washington, D.C., began offering the vaccines
to men who have sex with other men or may have been exposed to
the virus. But both cities ran through their supplies less than
a day after launching their local immunization initiatives. D.C.
Health had to shut access about 10 minutes after making shots
available.

There are about 56,000 Jynneos doses in the Strategic National
Stockpile that will be allocated immediately, officials said,
and the administration plans to allocate 296,000 doses over the
coming weeks.

The U.S. has tens of millions of doses of the smallpox vaccine
ACAM2000, but that shot has more dangerous and severe side
effects.

According to a spokesman for Jynneos’s Denmark-based
manufacturer Bavarian Nordic, 300,000 doses have already been
delivered or will be arriving over the next few days.

An additional 1.1 million filled doses are still being inspected
by the FDA, which should finish in the next couple weeks.

weekend
Zelensky: 2,610 Ukrainian cities, towns remain under Russian
occupation
The government also owns bulk materials totaling as many as 15
million doses, but they are still frozen, and the administration
has not told the company how it wants those doses filled.

“American taxpayers spent money buying and manufacturing these
doses precisely so they can be used rapidly in the event of an
outbreak,” said Krellenstein of Prep4All.

“Here we have an outbreak, and my friends are literally being
turned away from being vaccinated because the Biden
administration can’t figure out how to get a million doses out
of a freezer in Denmark into the United States,” Krellenstein
added.

Amber Heard believes she’s entitled to an insurance payout to
help cover the $10.4 million a jury ordered her to pay Johnny
Depp – but New York Marine and General Insurance Company says
they’re not responsible, according to a lawsuit filed in Los
Angeles.

Heard had a personal $1 million comprehensive liability policy
with the New York insurer in 2019, when Depp initially sued the
“Aquaman” actress in a Virginia court for defamation. She
submitted the case to New York Marine and General, which agreed
to back her defense – but reminded her at the time that it would
not indemnify a judgment, the suit alleges.

“An insurer is not liable for the loss caused by the willful act
of the insured,” the company wrote in its Friday filing in U.S.
District Court. A jury determined that Heard “willfully” defamed
Depp in a Washington Post op-ed, and ordered she pay him an
amount that shakes out to $8.4 million, when figuring in her $2
million counter-judgment.

Heard has said she will appeal the verdict — and that she can’t
afford to pay the penalty. If an appeals court agrees the
defamation case was mismanaged in any way, the result could be
altered or thrown out. And if Heard truly doesn’t have the
assets to cover the bill, the former couple could tangle for
several years, or even decades, to reach a settlement.

Depp has a number of ways to collect, but must wait 90 days
after the verdict to initiate that process, which he can do
starting in August. New York Marine and General didn’t
specifically say Heard had formally filed a claim with the
company – but it did say it’s aware that Team Heard believes
they are entitled to an insurance payout.

“Plaintiff … alleges that Heard disputes Heard’s contention and
asserts that the policy provides indemnity coverage,” the
lawsuit states.

Heard’s attorney, Elaine Bredehoft, did not immediately return
messages left Monday.

The company is asking for a declaratory relief judgment to pre-
empt any claims tied to the judgment.

Q’orianka Kilcher, an actress best known for her work on
“Yellowstone” and in the film “Dora and the Lost City of Gold,”
has been charged with workers compensation fraud, the California
Department of Insurance announced on Monday.

Kilcher has pleaed not guilty. Her attorney didn’t immediately
respond to a request for comment from TheWrap,

The department accuses Kilcher of continuing to work despite
collecting more than $90,000 in disability benefits.

“In October 2018 while acting in the movie ‘Dora and the Lost
City of Gold,’ Kilcher allegedly injured her neck and right
shoulder. She saw a doctor a few times that year, but stopped
treatment and did not respond to the insurance company handling
her claim on behalf of her employer,” the California Department
of Insurance said in a statement.

“A year later, in October 2019, Kilcher contacted the insurance
company saying she needed treatment. Kilcher told the doctor
handling her claim that she had been offered work since her
injury occurred but had been unable to accept it because her
neck pain was too severe. Based on Kilcher’s statements to the
doctor, she began receiving temporary total disability
benefits,” the statement continued.

However, Kilcher ran afoul of the department when she appeared
in several episodes of the third season of “Yellowstone,” which
aired starting in August, 2020, but were filmed between July and
October 2019.

“When told about Kilcher’s recent employment history, the doctor
on her claim stated if they had been aware of it they would have
never granted her the disability payments,” the Department said.
“From October 14, 2019, through September 9, 2021, Kilcher’s
received $96,838 in undeserved disability benefits.”

The department said that Kilcher’s attorney appeared on her
behalf in court on Monday, and that her next court date is
scheduled for August 7.

A spurned lover’s apparent desire for revenge against an ex-
boyfriend backfired when she set the wrong North Carolina house
on fire, authorities said.

The bizarre incident came to light when a homeowner woke up
early Friday morning after a neighbor notified him that a woman
was attempting to set his house ablaze, the Rowan County
Sheriff’s Office said in a report.

As the homeowner raced to get a garden hose, there were burning
pieces of wood encircling a propane tank on his front porch. But
when he tried to use the hose, it didn’t work because the
suspect, Christie Louise Jones, allegedly used Flex Seal to
block it, deputies said, according to WBTV.

The homeowner then confronted Jones with his rifle as she was
holding the leash to one of his dogs, authorities said. She
“just mumbled” before she drove off as first responders, blaring
their sirens, approached the scene, WBTC reported.

Jones allegedly brushed the homeowner with her car as she sped
by him.

A witness told deputies a former boyfriend of Jones owned
property in the neighborhood and they believe she might have had
her eyes on the wrong house, the television station reported.

Deputies said there is no evidence the homeowner and Jones knew
each other.

She was charged with first-degree arson, assault with a deadly
weapon and larceny of an animal.

Damage to the house is roughly $20,000, according to
investigators.

The two suspects have been arrested and charged following
Tuesday's incident.

Two people have been arrested in Texas following an alleged road
rage incident involving a 2-year-old on Tuesday just north of
Houston on I-45.

Video of the encounter shows one man slamming his hands onto a
silver Toyota Camry as a woman fired a gun into the car's window
while a man and child were inside.

As the car sped away, the woman was seen firing a second shot at
the vehicle.

The suspects then rush to get back into their black pickup
truck, the video showed.

Benjamin Greene and Nazly Ortiz were arrested and booked in
Harris County Jail on Tuesday night, according to officials.

Greene has been charged with aggravated assault and Ortiz was
charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon later that
day, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said.

The judge did not set bail for either suspect in probable cause
court. He left the decision to the judge in the 182nd court,
where both suspects are now assigned.

The victim told ABC News Houston station KTRK that a bullet
grazed his head.

Gonzalez said the victim was taken to the hospital for the graze
wound.

The victim told KTRK the 2-year-old inside the vehicle was his
nephew, who was hit by shattered glass, but is OK.

Gonzalez said a nearby car dealership was also hit by one of
Ortiz's shots, but no one was injured.

It is not known when Greene and Ortiz will appear again in court.

The Harris County Sheriff's Office has not yet responded to ABC
News' request for comment.

On Monday, an 8-year-old boy was injured in a road rage incident
in a Dallas suburb. A suspect has not yet been identified by
police.

New Delhi: The European Union's disease agency that the number
of monkeypox cases has reached 219 outside of countries where
the virus usually circulates. The World Health Organisation has
warned of more cases in coming days.
Here are 10 things we know about the Monkeypox outbreak:
Monkeypox, which is a less severe disease than its cousin
smallpox, is an endemic in 11 countries in West and Central
Africa.
The virus was discovered in 1958 in monkeys kept for research.
The first human case of monkeypox was recorded in 1970.
The World Health Organization has cautioned that the 200
monkeypox cases found in recent weeks outside of countries where
it is an endemic could be just the beginning. "We know that we
will have more cases in the coming days," Sylvie Briand, WHO's
epidemic and pandemic preparedness and prevention chief,
acknowledged in a briefing to countries on the "unusual" spread
of the virus.
Health agencies have said that most of the cases were detected
in gay men.
The UK reported its first monkeypox case in early May. Since
then, the virus has spread rapidly in the country with the
infection count now at 90.
Spain has reported 98 confirmed cases of monkeypox so far.
Portugal has meanwhile registered 74 confirmed cases, health
authorities said Friday, adding that all the occurrences are in
men, mainly aged below 40.
Fever, muscle ache, lesions, and chills are the common symptoms
of monkeypox in humans
The virus has a fatality ratio of three to six percent. Most
people recover within three to four weeks.
There's currently no specific treatment for monkeypox. Patients
will usually need to stay in a specialist hospital so the
infection doesn't spread and general symptoms can be treated.

CONCORD, N.H. —
The first probable case of monkeypox in New Hampshire has been
identified, health officials said Wednesday.

The patient is a resident of Rockingham County, and the
Department of Health and Human Services said that because of
privacy concerns, no further information about the patient would
be released.

The New Hampshire Public Health Laboratories first identified
the case, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention is conducting tests to confirm it.

"We did testing at the state public health laboratories, which
did test positive," said Dr. Jonathan Ballard, chief medical
officer at the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human
Services. "They have a quick turnaround. So in the next coming
days we'll know the confirmatory status. However, typically in
these cases that are positive at the state level, they typically
come back positive at the confirmatory stage."

DHHS officials are working to identify others who might have
been exposed.

Monkeypox is a rare disease caused by the monkeypox virus, which
belongs to the same group of viruses as smallpox. Transmission
of monkeypox requires close interaction with a symptomatic
person. Brief interactions do not appear to be high-risk, and
transmission has usually involved close physical or intimate
contact or health care examinations conducted not using
appropriate protective equipment, DHHS said.

Monkeypox has been present in humans since the 1970s.

"This year though, we've seen over 4,000 cases worldwide,"
Ballard said.

The incidence of monkeypox cases has been growing across the
country. The CDC identified 224 monkeypox cases in 26 states as
of June 27.

Initial symptoms typically include fever, headache, exhaustion,
muscle aches, sore throat, cough, and swollen lymph nodes. A few
days after the start of these symptoms, a skin rash or skin
spots appear that change over time.

People with monkeypox are contagious until all skin lesions have
scabbed over and fallen off a person’s skin, health officials
said. The illness usually lasts for two to four weeks. Symptoms
are usually mild, but in rare cases, a more severe illness can
occur that might require hospitalization.

Any person with a new skin rash or skin lesions concerning
monkeypox, especially if accompanied by other monkeypox
symptoms, should talk to their health care provider. Testing
should be considered if the skin rash and other symptoms
occurred:

Within a few weeks after traveling to another country where
monkeypox is being reported.
After close contact with a person who has a similar skin rash or
who is suspected or confirmed to have monkeypox.
After intimate physical or sexual contact with a partner,
especially after intimate or sexual contact that occurred during
travel.

LONDON (AP) — The World Health Organization says nearly 200
cases of monkeypox have been reported in more than 20 countries
not usually known to have outbreaks of the unusual disease, but
described the epidemic as “containable” and proposed creating a
stockpile to equitably share the limited vaccines and drugs
available worldwide.

During a public briefing on Friday, the U.N. health agency said
there are still many unanswered questions about what triggered
the unprecedented outbreak of monkeypox outside of Africa, but
there is no evidence that any genetic changes in the virus are
responsible.

“The first sequencing of the virus shows that the strain is not
different from the strains we can find in endemic countries and
(this outbreak) is probably due more to a change in human
behaviour,” said Dr. Sylvie Briand, WHO’s director of pandemic
and epidemic diseases.

Earlier this week, a top adviser to WHO said the outbreak in
Europe, U.S., Israel, Australia and beyond was likely linked to
sex at two recent raves in Spain and Belgium. That marks a
significant departure from the disease’s typical pattern of
spread in central and western Africa, where people are mainly
infected by animals like wild rodents and primates, and
outbreaks haven’t spilled across borders.

Although WHO said nearly 200 monkeypox cases have been reported,
that seemed a likely undercount. On Friday, Spanish authorities
said the number of cases there had risen to 98, including one
woman, whose infection is “directly related” to a chain of
transmission that had been previously limited to men, according
to officials in the region of Madrid.

U.K. officials added 16 more cases to their monkeypox tally,
making Britain’s total 106, while Portugal said its caseload
jumped to 74 cases. And authorities in Argentina on Friday
reported a monkeypox case in a man from Buenos Aires, marking
Latin America’s first infection. Officials said the man had
traveled recently to Spain and now had symptoms consistent with
monkeypox, including lesions and a fever.

Doctors in Britain, Spain, Portugal, Canada, the U.S. and
elsewhere have noted that the majority of infections to date
have been in gay and bisexual men, or men who have sex with men.

Monkeypox has been a hot topic of conversation, especially since
the first probable case of monkeypox was discovered this week in
New Jersey.

It was discovered that monkeypox has been spread through sexual
intercourse in almost all recent cases throughout the globe.

This begs the question: Is monkeypox a sexually transmitted
disease (STD)?

Here’s what you need to know.

What is monkeypox? When was it first discovered?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC), researchers first discovered monkeypox in 1958 when a
“pox-like” outbreak appeared on monkeys being kept for research,
which is how the disease “monkeypox” got its name.

But it was not until 1970 when the first human case of monkeypox
surfaced in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Since then, monkeypox has surfaced in humans who have lived in
or traveled to central and western African countries.

But the most recent cases of monkeypox have not been spread
through travel to Africa. Most cases have come about without any
direct links to Africa but through sexual contact.

Although many of the most recent cases “are within gay, bisexual
men and other men who have sex with men,” CDC Director Dr.
Rochelle Walensky called for approaching the matter with
“science” and not “stigma.”

“While some groups may have a greater chance of exposure right
now, infectious diseases do not care about state or
international borders. They’re not contained within social
networks and the risk of exposure is not limited to any one
particular group,” she added.

Monkeypox is usually transmitted when someone comes into contact
with an animal, another human, or materials contaminated with
the virus, according to the CDC.

The virus can enter the body through broken skin, the
respiratory tract, eyes, nose, or mouth.

If monkeypox can be spread through sex, is monkeypox an STD?
The World Health Organization (WHO) clarified in a recent
meeting that while these recent cases of monkeypox can be spread
through sex, it does not make it a sexually-transmitted
infection.

“Many diseases can be spread through sexual contact. You could
get a cough or a cold through sexual contact, but it doesn’t
mean that it’s a sexually transmitted disease,” said Andy Seale,
who advises the WHO on sexually transmitted infections.

What are the symptoms of monkeypox in humans?
The symptoms of monkeypox are like a milder version of smallpox,
except monkeypox causes swollen lymph nodes while smallpox does
not.

According to the CDC, monkeypox starts out with the following
symptoms:

Fever
Headache
Muscle aches
Backache
Swollen lymph nodes
Chills
Exhaustion
One to three days within the onset of symptoms, such as a fever,
patients then begin to develop a rash on the face before
spreading elsewhere on the body.

The illness usually lasts for 2-4 weeks before it runs its
course through the body. However, in some areas of the world,
like Africa, the disease can be fatal.

The CDC states that 1 in 10 people in Africa who catch monkeypox
die from it.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has
identified nine cases of monkeypox across seven states as of
Wednesday, agency Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said Thursday.

The nine cases have been identified in Massachusetts, Florida,
Utah, Washington, California, Virginia, and New York, per CNN.

Most cases — except for the one in Virginia — "are within gay
[and] bisexual men and other men who have sex with men,"
Walensky said before imploring Americans to approach the virus
"guided by science, not by stigma."

"While some groups may have a greater chance of exposure right

international borders. They're not contained within social
networks, and the risk of exposure is not limited to any one
particular group," Walensky said.

Samples from the nine cases were sent to the CDC for further
testing and investigation, Walensky added. Officials expect more
cases to crop up in the U.S.

Monkeypox is a more benign version of smallpox that can cause
fever, body aches, and, eventually, those characteristic fluid-
filled blisters known as "pox." The smallpox vaccine is thought
to be decently effective against the disease.

Public health experts, including within the Biden
administration, are increasingly concerned that the federal
government’s handling of the largest-ever U.S. monkeypox
outbreak is mirroring its cumbersome response to the coronavirus
pandemic 2œ years ago, with potentially dire consequences.

As a result, they said, community transmission is occurring
largely undetected, and the critical window in which to control
the outbreak is closing quickly.

“It’s been unbelievably challenging,” said Lauren Sauer,
director of the Special Pathogens Research Network within a
government-funded consortium of medical centers focused on
pathogens training and education. “It felt like January 2020 all
over again.”

More than 150 monkeypox cases have been identified in the United
States since May 19, federal officials said this week, and more
than 3,300 cases have been detected in 42 countries around the
world.

The rapidly rising global case counts have prompted the World
Health Organization to convene an emergency committee on
Thursday to assess whether the monkeypox outbreak represents a
public health emergency of international concern — the agency’s
highest-level warning, which currently applies only to the
coronavirus and polio.

But as other nations have ramped up their efforts to track and
prevent the spread of infection, experts say the United States
has moved too slowly to expand access to monkeypox testing and
vaccinate people at highest risk. The government’s failure to
clearly and urgently communicate the symptoms and risks
associated with monkeypox, a disease spread by close contact
that can lead to fever, pain and a visible rash, has left gay
and bisexual men who are disproportionately contracting the
virus especially vulnerable, public health experts say.

The plodding U.S. response so far raises doubts about the
country’s preparedness for the next pandemic, some
administration officials say.

Communication about whom to test, when to test them and what
monkeypox symptoms look like has been dismal, said Sauer, a
public health expert at the University of Nebraska Medical
Center.

Frustrations are running particularly high because, unlike the
coronavirus, monkeypox has been studied for decades by global
and U.S. experts who know the tools, strategies and vaccine
protocols that can limit spread.

Biden administration officials on Wednesday said that they have
amply prepared for a monkeypox outbreak, touting the
government’s efforts to acquire more vaccine doses, warn the
public about the emerging outbreak, and begin distributing tests
to commercial labs across the country this week. They also
insisted their response reflected lessons learned from fighting
coronavirus, such as waiting to distribute the “right test that
works” to laboratories after federal officials distributed
flawed coronavirus tests in early 2020.

“All this work takes weeks to get it done right,” said Raj
Panjabi, who leads the White House’s global health security
efforts, reflecting on the “humility” that he said officials
have tried to apply to monkeypox after struggles in containing
the coronavirus and other outbreaks.

Monkeypox dilemma: How to warn gay men about risk without
fueling hate

Clinicians, patients and some administration officials have
faulted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for
testing criteria that they say are too narrow and have resulted
in long waits — sometimes multiple days — in identifying
positive cases. Under the current framework, physicians who want
a test for an individual suspected to have monkeypox must first
consult with a state epidemiologist. State public health
officials say that protocol helps identify people at highest
risk so doctors can recommend isolation and take other steps to
prevent community spread.

And just as in early 2020, when the coronavirus first menaced
the United States, federal officials at first limited monkeypox
testing to a network of several dozen public health laboratories
— and did not authorize thousands of commercial laboratories and
hospitals to perform their own testing, too.

Monkeypox testing is handled by 86 mostly state and local public
health labs, with capacity for more than 8,000 tests a week,
according to the CDC. But an official of a large city health
department who is working directly on monkeypox response said
that number is misleading, because the labs are not concentrated
around the major metropolitan areas where the bulk of infections
are detected.

Without better access to tests, which involves swabbing a
lesion, it is impossible for public health officials to know the
true prevalence of the disease.

Monkeypox has repeatedly emerged in Central and West Africa for
decades, but the current outbreak has been occurring in
countries that have not previously reported infections, raising
concern about how and why the disease appears to be gaining a
foothold in countries including Britain, Germany, Portugal and
Spain.

The response has also been hindered by U.S. physicians’ lack of
familiarity with the rare disease. The CDC initially publicized
decades-old photos from more severe outbreaks in Africa, instead
of the more subtle rashes detected in the recent global
outbreak. The United States was far slower than Britain and
Canada to distribute updated education materials, only recently
sharing photos showing what the rashes look like on fair skin,
said David Harvey, executive director of the National Coalition
of STD Directors.

“One of the things that worries me right now is that we are
seeing cases pop up in many countries, and we are also seeing
numbers being reported in places that are much more aggressive
in their surveillance than what we’ve seen here,” said Jennifer
Nuzzo, an epidemiologist at Brown University’s School of Public
Health.

While monkeypox has been spreading mostly among men who have sex
with men, the disease is not specific to any one group. “If a
woman doesn’t have a particular known risk factor, and some
woman shows up in urgent care, what’s the likelihood that she is
going to get found?” Nuzzo said.

In most cases, monkeypox symptoms disappear on their own within
a few weeks. But for pregnant women, children and people with
weak immune systems, the disease can lead to medical
complications, including death, according to the WHO.

Two federal officials involved in the monkeypox response said
there are “significantly” more cases across the United States
that are being missed because testing for monkeypox had not been
expanded beyond the network of public health laboratories.

“If we don’t move aggressively now, monkeypox is going to be
that much harder to eradicate later — or it could even become
endemic” in the United States, said one of the administration
officials, who is among more than two dozen across the
Department of Health and Human Services and the White House
tasked with combating the outbreak and who spoke on the
condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak
to the press. Many of the same teams have been working on the
coronavirus response.

On Wednesday, administration officials said they were
authorizing five major commercial laboratories to test for
monkeypox starting in early July, a dramatic expansion of
capacity. That could allow labs to conduct tens of thousands of
more tests a week. Health-care providers will be able to send
specimens directly to the commercial labs for testing without
having to first consult with state health officials to determine
whether testing criteria are met. Activists say the move was
overdue.

About 10 monkeypox tests per day were being performed nationwide
in early June, even as other countries such as Britain were
performing far more, a senior administration official said
Wednesday. While laboratory testing ramped up last week, only
about 700 total tests had been conducted as of June 17, the
official said.

Before the CDC made its test widely available to commercial
labs, the agency needed to update testing protocols, establish
agreements with the five labs and ensure personnel had personal
protective equipment and vaccinations to protect against
infection, according to a senior public health official who
spoke under Biden administration ground rules that they not be
named.

One man who sought testing on June 13 in New York City for
potential monkeypox symptoms — flu-like illness and swollen
lymph nodes — was initially advised by a physician that he did
not have the disease and did not need a test, said Joseph
Osmundson, a virologist at New York University, who spent
several days trying to help the individual obtain a test. The
man had recently returned to New York from Portugal, where he
said he had casual sex with other men. Health officials have
advised clinicians to look out for travel-associated cases from
Europe, and in situations in which men have had sex with men.

But the man told The Post his efforts to obtain a test were
repeatedly rebuffed — even after he was found to have “abnormal
HPV-like lesions” that weren’t readily visible.

“The pain has been like someone stabbing me from inside — I
couldn’t sit, I couldn’t sleep,” said the man, who spoke on the
condition of anonymity to protect his privacy. He said he went
to four different providers, including a major New York City
hospital, before an urgent care clinic collected a specimen on
Monday. He said he finally received his results on Thursday
afternoon, 10 days after he first sought testing. The results:
positive.

Osmundson said he was aware of a dozen similar cases in which
people with possible monkeypox symptoms were being rebuffed.

“The CDC is very narrowly defining criteria for testing, and the
[New York] Department of Health is not going outside those
criteria. So if you don’t check off on every single one of the
boxes, based on CDC, you don’t get access to testing,” Osmundson
said.

Michael Lanza, a spokesman for the New York City Department of
Health and Mental Hygiene, confirmed that providers must contact
the agency to evaluate the case and determine whether testing is
necessary. He said officials have not denied testing requests
except in cases with no rash or no known risk factors.

James Krellenstein, co-founder of PrEP4ALL, an HIV-care
nonprofit that has pressed state and federal officials to expand
testing, said that “no one can confidently say if the outbreak
is under control or not.”

“I’m extremely, extremely frustrated,” Krellenstein said. “It’s
as if what happened in covid in February of 2020 never happened.
This is not the first time, and to see CDC, HHS [and other
officials] make the same errors over again is inexplicable,
considering how large the cost was in 2020.”

Public health experts also have criticized U.S. officials for
not proactively vaccinating high-risk individuals against the
virus, even as other nations have moved more aggressively to do
so. Health officials in Britain announced a strategy Tuesday to
offer vaccine to some gay and bisexual men at higher risk of
exposure, and New York City officials on Thursday opened a
vaccine clinic to those who may have been recently exposed.
While U.S. officials have stockpiled two vaccines that are
effective against monkeypox, there is a limited supply of the
vaccine that is specifically authorized to prevent monkeypox,
Jynneos.

U.S. officials “need to have very serious planning
conversations” about proactively vaccinating people at high risk
for disease, said Janet Hamilton, executive director of the
Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists. She said
individuals who should be prioritized include men who have sex
with men, sex workers, lab personnel conducting monkeypox
testing, and health-care workers expected to provide direct care
for monkeypox patients.

Of the two vaccines that are effective against monkeypox,
Jynneos is in high global demand. The other vaccine, ACAM2000,
is older and was approved to prevent smallpox. While it is
effective against monkeypox, it can cause serious side effects
and cannot be used for people with severely weakened immune
systems or eczema, according to the CDC.

Senior public health officials said Wednesday they are
considering potential strategies for proactive vaccination.
Current CDC recommendations call for vaccinating those at high
risk after an exposure.

Inger Damon, the CDC’s top orthopoxvirus expert, said at a
briefing with reporters that federal officials have yet to
receive information from state and local health departments on
the number of Americans vaccinated against monkeypox.

Krellenstein, who joined a call with senior administration
officials on Tuesday to discuss the U.S. monkeypox strategy,
said the administration could not answer questions about vaccine
uptake.

“That’s very concerning, because we do need to be making sure
that this vaccine is going into arms,” Krellenstein said, adding
that the lack of clarity echoed the CDC’s data problems from the
coronavirus response.

Officials say they also are worried about possible supply chain
bottlenecks with the vaccine, a problem that emerged during the
coronavirus pandemic as countries competed for resources to
fight the virus, and hard-hit nations such as India moved to ban
exports of coronavirus vaccines.

Jynneos is produced by Bavarian Nordic in Denmark — and is the
only vaccine approved by the Food and Drug Administration to
prevent monkeypox. Some pandemic experts have warned that if the
outbreak worsens, European officials could institute an export
ban on Jynneos and limit shipments abroad.

The United States currently has more than 65,000 doses of
Jynneos, a two-shot vaccine, immediately available in its
Strategic National Stockpile, officials said. The federal
government has also requested that 300,000 additional government-
owned doses be soon shipped to the United States, and has
ordered another 500,000 doses to be delivered later this year.

Public health experts and activists are clamoring for more-
proactive vaccinations in high-risk communities, warning that
the outbreak could be amplified as the gay community celebrates
Pride Month and if clinicians miss opportunities to diagnose
probable cases of monkeypox.

“I had four close contacts that likely could have been avoided
if I’d gotten my early diagnosis,” said the New York City man
who was forced to visit four providers to get tested. He said he
decided on his own to isolate when his symptoms worsened,
because he worried about the virus spreading, undetected,
through the gay community. “Hopefully we can prevent that with
the vaccine,” he said.

An Oakland County resident is the first in Michigan to have a
probable case of the monkeypox virus, state health officials
said Wednesday.

The virus, which is in the orthopoxvirus family and is closely
related to smallpox, is part of a global outbreak of more than
5,115 cases that now have spread to at least 27 states, the
District of Columbia and 51 countries outside of its endemic
areas as of June 29, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.

Preliminary testing by the state Bureau of Laboratories showed a
presumptive positive result for orthopoxvirus. Testing to
confirm that is now underway by the CDC.

The person is isolating and does not pose a risk to the public,
state health officials said in a statement.

“Monkeypox is a viral illness that spreads primarily through
direct contact with the infectious rash, scabs, bodily fluids or
prolonged face-to-face contact," said Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian,
the state's chief medical executive. "It is important to
remember that the risk to the general public is low. However,
Michiganders with concerns about monkeypox should see their
provider to be evaluated for testing.”

No other details were released Wednesday about the Oakland
County resident.

More national attention and resources are being devoted to the
outbreak as the number of confirmed monkeypox cases in the U.S.
has more than doubled within a week's time — rising from 156 on
June 22 to 351 on Wednesday, according to the CDC.

The agency launched its Emergency Operations Center on Tuesday
to respond to the outbreak, dedicating more than 300 employees
to coordinating the emergency response and increasing vaccine
distribution and testing.

The first U.S. case was identified in a man from Massachusetts,
who was admitted May 12 to Massachusetts General Hospital in
Boston. The man hadn't been in contact with animals known to
carry monkeypox and didn't travel to central or western Africa,
where the virus ordinarily is found.

Since then, 350 more cases were confirmed as of Wednesday in
Arizona, California, Colorado, the District of Columbia,
Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New
Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Utah, Virginia and
Washington, according to the CDC and state health officials.

CORALVILLE, Iowa (KCRG) - On Friday, the Iowa Department of
Health and Human Services reported a probable case of monkeypox
in the state.

Testing by the State Hygienic Lab in Coralville says the
patient, who is from the north-central part of Iowa, was likely
infected during international travel.

The patient is reportedly isolating and receiving outpatient
care.

The CDC is reminding people that monkeypox does not spread
easily between people without close contact. Likely ways of
contracting the virus are:

direct contact with the infectious rash, scabs, or body fluids
respiratory secretions during prolonged, face-to-face contact,
or during intimate physical contact, such as kissing, cuddling,
or sex.
Risk to the general public is low, but anyone with a rash that
looks like monkeypox should talk to their healthcare provider.

More information about the virus and how to limit infection risk
can be found on the monkeypox page on the CDC website.

The queers know how to stop it. If they won't, let the fucking
degenerates die.

Infectious disease experts and public health advocates are
warning that the Biden administration has been too slow to
respond to the monkeypox outbreak and that the U.S. is at risk
of losing control of the disease.

The response to monkeypox is mirroring the worst parts of the
early days of the coronavirus pandemic, they say, with severely
limited testing and a sluggish rollout of vaccines leading to a
virus that’s spreading undetected.

“Where we have lagged is streamlining testing, making vaccines
available, streamlining access to the best therapeutics. All
three areas have been bureaucratic and slow, and that means we
haven’t contained this outbreak,” said David Harvey, executive
director of the National Coalition of STD Directors (NCSD).

Unlike COVID-19, monkeypox is not a novel virus, and the
strategies to reduce the spread are well known. Biden
administration officials said they are confident in their
approach.

“We as a global community have known about it for decades. We
know how it spreads. We have tests that help identify people who
are infected. We have vaccines that are highly effective against
it,” White House coronavirus response coordinator Ashish Jha
said during a recent briefing.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC), there are 460 cases in 30 states, Puerto Rico and D.C.,
though experts say that number is almost certainly an
undercount, as many people who may be infected don’t yet have
access to widespread testing.

The administration is ramping up its response by expanding
testing capacity and broadening access to vaccinations, though
critics say the efforts may be coming too late.

“We’ve been sort of screaming for a month about how bad the
diagnostic situation is for monkeypox. And that really was a
clear error, preventable, and it’s very clear that this
administration has not learned lessons from early COVID,” said
James Krellenstein, co-founder of the HIV treatment advocacy
group Prep4All.

Jon Andrus, an adjunct professor of global health at George
Washington University’s Milken Institute School of Public
Health, said the U.S. is lucky that monkeypox is not as
contagious as COVID-19, or as deadly, because the public health
system is underfunded and overly fractured.

“I think we’ll continue to repeat these mistakes because that’s
been our track record. That’s been our track record. We’ve had,
what, more than five or six waves of COVID, and we seem every
time to be a little bit caught off guard,” Andrus said.
“Stopping transmission requires that we’re all reading from the
same page. We all have the same road map.”

The administration expanded testing to commercial labs in late
June, so providers will soon be able to order tests directly
from the labs where they have established relationships and can
jump through fewer hoops.

But it took more than a month for that move to happen, which
increased testing capacity from about 8,000 tests a week to
10,000 across the entire system.

Demand is also not evenly spread across the public health
laboratory networks; it is concentrated in urban areas such as
New York City, leading to backlogs and frustrated patients who
wait days for test results.

Biden administration health officials this week touted efforts
to expand testing.

“I strongly encourage all health care providers to have a high
clinical suspicion for monkeypox among their patients,” CDC
Director Rochelle Walensky said during a call with reporters.
“Patients presenting with a suspicious rash should be tested.”

Testing for monkeypox is a relatively simple process that
involves swabbing a skin lesion. Unlike with COVID-19, the CDC
already had a previously developed test, but patients were
limited to a narrow set of specific criteria in order to qualify
for testing.

“We already had testing available. We already had vaccines
available. We should have really been much more aggressive with
testing … and I think this speaks to some of the bureaucracy of
both FDA [Food and Drug Administration] and CDC,” said Celine
Gounder, an infectious disease specialist and editor-at-large
for public health at Kaiser Health News.

“Getting the commercial labs on board they could have done
sooner. Getting academic medical centers to do testing, hospital
labs to develop their own PCR tests. I mean, that’s not a very
difficult thing to do,” Gounder said.

The White House is also working to scale up its vaccination
program and announced a plan to immediately send out tens of
thousands of doses of Jynneos, the only FDA-approved vaccine
specifically for monkeypox.

More than a million doses will be made available throughout the
year. The CDC is also broadening the eligibility criteria so
individuals with confirmed monkeypox exposures and presumed
exposures can be vaccinated, rather than only those who have a
confirmed case.

But activists and experts say the administration moved too
slowly and that the updated vaccination strategy is not nearly
sufficient.

“We believe this outbreak is already out of control. So, we have
not contained it. Vaccines are not going to contain it at this
point. Because we don’t have enough. Getting them into arms is
an expensive and intense process,” said NCSD’s Harvey.

New York City and Washington, D.C., began offering the vaccines
to men who have sex with other men or may have been exposed to
the virus. But both cities ran through their supplies less than
a day after launching their local immunization initiatives. D.C.
Health had to shut access about 10 minutes after making shots
available.

There are about 56,000 Jynneos doses in the Strategic National
Stockpile that will be allocated immediately, officials said,
and the administration plans to allocate 296,000 doses over the
coming weeks.

The U.S. has tens of millions of doses of the smallpox vaccine
ACAM2000, but that shot has more dangerous and severe side
effects.

According to a spokesman for Jynneos’s Denmark-based
manufacturer Bavarian Nordic, 300,000 doses have already been
delivered or will be arriving over the next few days.

An additional 1.1 million filled doses are still being inspected
by the FDA, which should finish in the next couple weeks.

occupation
The government also owns bulk materials totaling as many as 15
million doses, but they are still frozen, and the administration
has not told the company how it wants those doses filled.

“American taxpayers spent money buying and manufacturing these
doses precisely so they can be used rapidly in the event of an
outbreak,” said Krellenstein of Prep4All.

“Here we have an outbreak, and my friends are literally being
turned away from being vaccinated because the Biden
administration can’t figure out how to get a million doses out
of a freezer in Denmark into the United States,” Krellenstein
added.

The World Health Organization's Europe chief warned Friday that
monkeypox cases in the region have tripled in the last two weeks
and urged countries to do more to ensure the previously rare
disease does not become entrenched on the continent.

And African health authorities said they are treating the
expanding monkeypox outbreak as an emergency, calling on rich
countries to share limited supplies of vaccines to avoid equity
problems seen during the COVID-19 pandemic.

WHO Europe chief Dr. Hans Kluge said in a statement that
increased efforts were needed despite the U.N. health agency's
decision last week that the escalating outbreak did not yet
warrant being declared a global health emergency.

"Urgent and coordinated action is imperative if we are to turn a
corner in the race to reverse the ongoing spread of this
disease," Kluge said.

To date, more than 5,000 monkeypox cases have been reported from
51 countries worldwide that don't normally report the disease,
according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention. Kluge said the number of infections in Europe
represents about 90% of the global total, with 31 countries in
the WHO's European region having identified cases.

Kluge said data reported to the WHO show that 99% of cases have
been in men — the majority in men that have sex with men. But he
said there were now "small numbers" of cases among household
contacts, including children. Most people reported symptoms
including a rash, fever, fatigue, muscle pain, vomiting and
chills.

Scientists warn anyone who is in close physical contact with
someone who has monkeypox or their clothing or bedsheets is at
risk of infection. Vulnerable populations like children and
pregnant women are thought more likely to suffer severe disease.

About 10% of patients were hospitalized for treatment or to be
isolated, and one person was admitted to an intensive care unit.
No deaths have been reported.

Kluge said the problem of stigmatization in some countries might
make some people wary of seeking health care and said the WHO
was working with partners including organizers of gay pride
events.

In the U.K., which has the biggest monkeypox outbreak beyond
Africa, officials have noted the disease is spreading in
"defined sexual networks of gay, bisexual, or men who have sex
with men." British health authorities said there were no signs
suggesting sustained transmission beyond those populations.

A leading WHO adviser said in May that the spike in cases in
Europe was likely tied to sexual activity by men at two rave
parties in Spain and Belgium.

Ahead of gay pride events in the U.K. this weekend, London's top
public health doctor asked people with symptoms of monkeypox,
like swollen glands or blisters, to stay home.

Nevertheless in Africa the WHO says that according to detailed
data from Ghana monkeypox cases were almost evenly split between
men and women, and no spread has been detected among men who
have sex with men.

WHO Europe director Kluge also said the procurement of vaccines
"must apply the principles of equity."

The main vaccine being used against monkeypox was originally
developed for smallpox and the European Medicines Agency said
this week it was beginning to evaluate whether it should be
authorized for monkeypox. The WHO has said supplies of the
vaccine, made by Bavarian Nordic, are extremely limited.

Countries including the U.K. and Germany have already begun
vaccinating people at high risk of monkeypox; the U.K. recently
widened its immunization program to mostly gay and bisexual men
who have multiple sexual partners and are thought to be most
vulnerable.

Until May, monkeypox had never been known to cause large
outbreaks beyond parts of central and west Africa, where it's
been sickening people for decades, is endemic in several
countries and mostly causes limited outbreaks when it jumps to
people from infected wild animals.

To date, there have been about 1,800 suspected monkeypox cases
in Africa, including more than 70 deaths, but only 109 have been
lab-confirmed. The lack of laboratory diagnosis and weak
surveillance means many cases are going undetected.

"This particular outbreak for us means an emergency," said Ahmed
Ogwell, the acting director of the Africa Centers for Disease
Control.

The WHO says monkeypox has spread to African countries where it
hasn’t previously been seen, including South Africa, Ghana and
Morocco. But more than 90% of the continent’s infections are in
Congo and Nigeria, according to WHO Africa director, Dr. Moeti
Matshidiso.

Vaccines have never been used to stop monkeypox outbreaks in
Africa; officials have relied mostly on contact tracing and
isolation.

The WHO noted that similar to the scramble last year for COVID-
19 vaccines, countries with supplies of vaccines for monkeypox
are not yet sharing them with Africa.

"We do not have any donations that have been offered to (poorer)
countries," said Fiona Braka, who heads the WHO emergency
response team in Africa. "We know that those countries that have
some stocks, they are mainly reserving them for their own
populations."

Matshidiso said the WHO was in talks with manufacturers and
countries with stockpiles to see if they might be shared.

"We would like to see the global spotlight on monkeypox act as a
catalyst to beat this disease once and for all in Africa," she
said Thursday.

Stop fucking animals and eat other up the ass.

GENEVA, May 27 (Reuters) - Countries should take quick steps to
contain the spread of monkeypox and share data about their

said on Friday.

"We think that if we put in place the right measures now we
probably can contain this easily," Sylvie Briand, WHO director

Monkeypox is a usually mild viral infection that is endemic in
parts of west and central Africa.

It spreads chiefly through close contact and until the recent
outbreak, was rarely seen in other parts of the world, which is
why the recent emergence of cases in Europe, the United States
and other areas has raised alarms.

Another new measure prohibits gender reassignment surgery for
minors

Arizona Republican Gov. Doug Ducey signed into law Wednesday a
pair of bills, one that prevents transgender girls from
participating in female school sports and another that prohibits
gender reassignment surgery for minors in the state.

The two "common-sense" measures — Senate Bill 1138 and Senate
Bill 1165 — were signed in an attempt to ensure "that the girls
and young women who have dedicated themselves to their sport do
not miss out on hard-earned opportunities," according to the
governor.

ARIZONA FAMILY PUSHES ‘RIGHT TO TRY 2.0’ AFTER BEING FORCED TO
TRAVEL TO ITALY FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT

SB 1138 states that a "physician or other health care
professional may not provide gender transition procedures to any
individual under eighteen years of age." SB 1165 prevents
transgender girls from playing on girls teams. It also requires
"each interscholastic or intramural athletic team or sport that
is sponsored by a public school or a private school whose
students compete against a public school" to designate a
gendered name to the team based on the biological sex of the
participants. For example, "boys," "girls," "male," "female" or
"coed" are among the accepted designations the teams can give
themselves.

"Today I signed S.B. 1138 and S.B. 1165, legislation to protect
participation and fairness for female athletes and to ensure
that individuals undergoing irreversible gender reassignment
surgery are of adult age," Ducey wrote in a letter to Arizona
Secretary of State Katie Hobbs.

Ducey said the legislation is "common sense and narrowly
targeted to address" the issues in the state while ensuring that
transgender residents in the state continue to receive the same
"dignity, respect and kindness as every individual in our
society."

Writing about gender reassignment in the letter, Ducey said,
"The irreversible nature of these procedures underscores why
such a decision should be made as an adult, not as a child, and
further supports the importance of this legislation."

While the legislation does not allow transgender females to
participate in girls sports, it does not prevent them from
taking part in other school sports that are not designated
"female." The law also does not apply to sports leagues or clubs
outside of school.

Angela Hughey, president and founder of ONE Community, an
organization that places emphasis on "diversity, inclusion,
equity and equality" slammed Ducey for signing the measures.

"My biggest concern is that the governor has decided to put the
most vulnerable members of Arizona’s LGBTQ community at greater
risk," Hughey told KTAR News. "It is clear that he does not
understand that as governor his duty as the CEO of the state of
Arizona is to protect all Arizonans."

"We know that LGBTQ youth, and in particular trans youth, have a
higher rate of suicidal ideation, and so we know that these are
our most vulnerable kids, and we really need to do everything we
can to make sure they have the opportunity to thrive as the
young people that they are," Hughey added.

Since 2017, about 16 trans athletes have asked for waivers to
play on teams that align with their gender identities out of
about 170,000 high school athletes in the state, and not all
were granted, according to the Arizona Interscholastic
Association.

Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt signed a similar bill into law
Wednesday, also referring to the measure as "just common sense."

"When it comes to sports and athletics, girls should compete
against girls," Stitt said. "Boys should compete against boys.
And let's be very clear: That's all this bill says."

Robert Edmond Davis, 19, was identified as the suspect,
Philadelphia police homicide unit Lt. Hamilton Marshmond said
during a Friday news conference, per CNN.

Marshmond said an arrest warrant that “includes the charges of
murder and related offenses” was issued, according to the
outlet. He also urged the suspect to surrender to police.

"Our goal is to have Mr. Davis taken into custody in a safe
manner for the public, our officers and himself,” the police
lieutenant said.

On Monday, Kruger, 39, was shot seven times in the chest and
abdomen around 1:30 a.m. inside his home in the Point Breeze
neighborhood. Security video showed Davis at his home early in
the day, Marshmond said at the conference, per NBC News.

Police said that Davis knew the journalist, and he should be
considered armed and dangerous.

During the Friday conference, police also said that Kruger — who
was known for his advocacy for marginalized communities,
particularly homeless people living with addiction — may have
been counseling the suspect, per NBC.

Marshmond also said that Davis may have been homeless at some
point, although police do not believe that the suspect was
staying in the victim's home.

“At this time we believe that Mr. Kruger was trying to help Mr.
Davis, and they were acquaintances,” Marshmond said, adding that
the victim “was just trying to help him just get through life.”

The police did not provide any more details about the pair’s
relationship or a possible motive.

He had been diagnosed with HIV while on the streets, which he
had conquered with medication and a healthier lifestyle.

He was also openly gay, and regularly wrote about the

A warrant citing "murder and related offenses" is out for Davis'
arrest. Police have been able to narrow in on Davis following
multiple tips and a video of the incident prior to the murder,
reports the Daily Mail.

According to homicide unit Lt Hamilton Marshmond, Kruger was

Philadelphia townhouse by the accused.

"Our goal is to have Mr Davis taken into custody in a safe
manner for the public, our officers, and himself," said
Marshmond.

Kruger and Davis knew each other, said the investigators, and it
appears that the journalist had been trying to help his alleged
assailant.

Davis had been reportedly going through various troubles
including homelessness.

Kruger had worked for five years in his city's government from
2016 to 2021. He was able to make it outside to seek help after
being shot but succumbed to his wounds about a half hour later
at a local hospital.

Investigators believe that the shooting took place around 1:30
am on October 2. There were no signs of a forced entry at
Kruger's home.

Police said Davis is known to the department but would not
specify.

Kruger, 39, was shot multiple times and killed shortly before
1:30 a.m. Monday in his home on the 2300 block of Watkins Street
in Point Breeze.

"Mr. Kruger was trying to help Mr. Davis and they were
acquaintances," Marshmond said. "He was just trying to help him

While Lt. Marshmond says it appears Davis may have been homeless
for a time, Davis' last known address puts him just a five-
minute walk away from Kruger's home. Police said they have video
showing Davis in the area of the shooting.

But there's still much they're not releasing.

Investigators did not say what led to the deadly encounter or
whether Davis broke into the home or was allowed inside. For the
family and friends of Kruger, possibly the biggest question also
remains unanswered, a motive.

"As to the why, I do not know at this time," Marshmond said.
Only Mr. Davis will be able to answer that."

A freelance journalist and former communications director for
the city's Office of Homeless Services, friends and former
colleagues mourning Kruger this week described him as a
dedicated advocate for those in need.

He served as the communications director for the city's Office

Police are searching for Robert Davis, who investigators believe
was an acquaintance of Kruger’s before he allegedly shot him
multiple times Monday morning inside his Point Breeze home. The
warrant includes charges for murder and related crimes, police
said. Davis remains at large.

Lt. Hamilton Marshmond of the Homicide Unit said Kruger, 39, had
been trying to help Davis, who was facing various troubles
including homelessness.

“He was just trying to help him get through life,” Marshmond
said.

For reasons that remain unclear, Marshmond said, detectives
believe Davis entered Kruger’s home just before 1:30 a.m., then
shot him multiple times at the base of his stairs. Kruger ran
outside screaming for help, but collapsed in the sidewalk.
Officers rushed him to the hospital, but he died shortly after
arrival.

Marshmond said the motive for the killing remains under
investigation, and it’s unclear how Davis got into Kruger’s
home, which showed no signs of forced entry. He said video of
Davis near the area at the time of the shooting, and tips from
Kruger’s friends and family about their earlier interactions led
investigators to him.

Davis’ last known address was on the 1600 block of South
Ringgold Street, police said, just a few blocks from Kruger’s
home on the 2300 block of Watkins Street.

Marshmond said Davis was known to police and had been arrested
before, but declined to elaborate on officers’ earlier
interactions with him. Court records show that Davis was
arrested in August and charged with criminal trespassing and
mischief, but the District Attorney’s Office withdrew the
charges at a preliminary hearing the following month.

Jane Roh, a spokesperson for the DA’s Office, said Davis was
arrested after a Navy Yard security guard observed him acting
erratically in a section of the facility he wasn’t permitted to
be in. But the security guard did not have paid time off to
testify at future proceedings, Roh said, and after he failed to
appear at a hearing, prosecutors dropped the charges.

One law enforcement source, who requested anonymity to discuss
the investigation, said detectives believe the killing was
domestic in nature, and said Kruger and Davis had previously
been in a relationship. And the person of interest police had
identified earlier this week — a man who friends said had broken
into Kruger’s home before — ended up being cleared, and
additional evidence ultimately led detectives to Davis.

Kruger’s death left many in the city heartbroken. He was a
revered advocate for people experiencing homeless and addiction
— hardships he had faced in his life. He worked as a
spokesperson in the City’s Office of Homeless Services before
returning to freelance journalism in recent years.

An openly queer and HIV-positive journalist, he wrote for
multiple news outlets, including The Inquirer, weighing in on
issues affecting the LGBTQ community, harm reduction services,
and city and state politics.

“Josh deserved to write the ending of his personal story,”
District Attorney Larry Krasner said in a statement.

A celebration of life and tribute to Kruger has been scheduled
for the afternoon of Oct. 29, at William Way LGBT Community
Center.

death of freelance journalist Josh Kruger in the Point Breeze

Davis allegedly shot Kruger seven times in the chest and abdomen
while the reporter stood at the bottom of the stairs inside his

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- An arrest warrant has been issued for 19-
year-old Robert Davis in the murder of journalist and activist
Josh Kruger, Philadelphia police said Friday. The arrest warrant
includes charges of murder and related offenses.

Investigators believe Kruger and Davis were acquaintances, and
Kruger was in the process of trying to help him. According to
police, Davis appeared to be homeless at one point in his life.

"We are also asking Mr. Davis to surrender himself to the
police," Philadelphia Police Homicide Unit Lt. Hamilton

Police said Davis is known to the department but would not
specify.

Kruger, 39, was shot multiple times and killed shortly before
1:30 a.m. Monday in his home on the 2300 block of Watkins Street
in Point Breeze.

"Mr. Kruger was trying to help Mr. Davis and they were
acquaintances," Marshmond said. "He was just trying to help him
get through life."

While Lt. Marshmond says it appears Davis may have been homeless
for a time, Davis' last known address puts him just a five-
minute walk away from Kruger's home. Police said they have video
showing Davis in the area of the shooting.

But there's still much they're not releasing.

Investigators did not say what led to the deadly encounter or
whether Davis broke into the home or was allowed inside. For the
family and friends of Kruger, possibly the biggest question also
remains unanswered, a motive.

"As to the why, I do not know at this time," Marshmond said.
Only Mr. Davis will be able to answer that."

A freelance journalist and former communications director for
the city's Office of Homeless Services, friends and former
colleagues mourning Kruger this week described him as a
dedicated advocate for those in need.

He served as the communications director for the city's Office
of Homeless Services and also handled Mayor Jim Kenney's social
media for a period of time.

The Philadelphia DA's LGBTQ+ Advisory Committee said Kruger
never stopped fighting for Philadelphia's LGBTQ+ community.

Robert Edmond Davis, 19, was identified as the suspect,
Philadelphia police homicide unit Lt. Hamilton Marshmond said
during a Friday news conference, per CNN.

Marshmond said an arrest warrant that “includes the charges of
murder and related offenses” was issued, according to the
outlet. He also urged the suspect to surrender to police.

"Our goal is to have Mr. Davis taken into custody in a safe
manner for the public, our officers and himself,” the police
lieutenant said.

On Monday, Kruger, 39, was shot seven times in the chest and
abdomen around 1:30 a.m. inside his home in the Point Breeze
neighborhood. Security video showed Davis at his home early in
the day, Marshmond said at the conference, per NBC News.

Police said that Davis knew the journalist, and he should be
considered armed and dangerous.

During the Friday conference, police also said that Kruger — who
was known for his advocacy for marginalized communities,
particularly homeless people living with addiction — may have
been counseling the suspect, per NBC.

Marshmond also said that Davis may have been homeless at some
point, although police do not believe that the suspect was
staying in the victim's home.

“At this time we believe that Mr. Kruger was trying to help Mr.
Davis, and they were acquaintances,” Marshmond said, adding that
the victim “was just trying to help him just get through life.”

The police did not provide any more details about the pair’s
relationship or a possible motive.

A warrant citing "murder and related offenses" is out for Davis'
arrest. Police have been able to narrow in on Davis following
multiple tips and a video of the incident prior to the murder,
reports the Daily Mail.

According to homicide unit Lt Hamilton Marshmond, Kruger was
shot seven times on October 2 inside his two-story South
Philadelphia townhouse by the accused.

"Our goal is to have Mr Davis taken into custody in a safe
manner for the public, our officers, and himself," said
Marshmond.

Kruger and Davis knew each other, said the investigators, and it
appears that the journalist had been trying to help his alleged
assailant.

Davis had been reportedly going through various troubles
including homelessness.

Kruger had worked for five years in his city's government from
2016 to 2021. He was able to make it outside to seek help after
being shot but succumbed to his wounds about a half hour later
at a local hospital.

Investigators believe that the shooting took place around 1:30
am on October 2. There were no signs of a forced entry at
Kruger's home.

Police are searching for Robert Davis, who investigators believe
was an acquaintance of Kruger’s before he allegedly shot him
multiple times Monday morning inside his Point Breeze home. The
warrant includes charges for murder and related crimes, police
said. Davis remains at large.

Lt. Hamilton Marshmond of the Homicide Unit said Kruger, 39, had
been trying to help Davis, who was facing various troubles
including homelessness.

“He was just trying to help him get through life,” Marshmond
said.

For reasons that remain unclear, Marshmond said, detectives
believe Davis entered Kruger’s home just before 1:30 a.m., then
shot him multiple times at the base of his stairs. Kruger ran
outside screaming for help, but collapsed in the sidewalk.
Officers rushed him to the hospital, but he died shortly after
arrival.

Marshmond said the motive for the killing remains under
investigation, and it’s unclear how Davis got into Kruger’s
home, which showed no signs of forced entry. He said video of
Davis near the area at the time of the shooting, and tips from
Kruger’s friends and family about their earlier interactions led
investigators to him.

Davis’ last known address was on the 1600 block of South
Ringgold Street, police said, just a few blocks from Kruger’s
home on the 2300 block of Watkins Street.

Marshmond said Davis was known to police and had been arrested
before, but declined to elaborate on officers’ earlier
interactions with him. Court records show that Davis was
arrested in August and charged with criminal trespassing and
mischief, but the District Attorney’s Office withdrew the
charges at a preliminary hearing the following month.

Jane Roh, a spokesperson for the DA’s Office, said Davis was
arrested after a Navy Yard security guard observed him acting
erratically in a section of the facility he wasn’t permitted to
be in. But the security guard did not have paid time off to
testify at future proceedings, Roh said, and after he failed to
appear at a hearing, prosecutors dropped the charges.

One law enforcement source, who requested anonymity to discuss
the investigation, said detectives believe the killing was
domestic in nature, and said Kruger and Davis had previously
been in a relationship. And the person of interest police had
identified earlier this week — a man who friends said had broken

Kruger left city government to report on causes he deemed
important
At the time of his death, Kruger was back doing journalism,
writing for the Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia Weekly,
Philadelphia City Paper, among others.

Kruger often covered the prevalence of homelessness and drugs in
urban settings, things that he had once personally suffered.

He had been diagnosed with HIV while on the streets, which he
had conquered with medication and a healthier lifestyle.

He was also openly gay, and regularly wrote about the
marginalized and displaced people in society.

He was also infected with HIV / AIDS and spreading it all over.
