'We see the problem, we know there's a response,' Supervisor Mandelman said. 'Unlike HIV/AIDS, there's a treatment, there's a vaccine we can give out right now, but we just don't have enough of it, it's very frustrating.'
"We see the problem, we know there's a response," he said."Unlike HIV/AIDS, there's a treatment, there's a vaccine we can give out right now, but we just don't have enough of it, it's very frustrating."
With plans by the City's Department of Public Health in place to work with community-based organizations to help those at the highest risk, once more supply starts to roll in. "We will have routes to get this to people, whether they are in care with a provider, whether they don't have care, we will provide those routes as we get more vaccine," Philip said."The insufficient federal response is reflective of an institutional callousness to issues that affect gay and bisexual men and trans people," Mandelman tweeted Tuesday.
Mandelman said,"Despite fully vaccinating over 40 million people for COVID-19 just three months after the first shots were administered, HHS is only planning to fully vaccinate 2 million of the 5.9 million gay and bisexual men and trans people living in the U.S. by the end of 2023." "That is an abysmal goal, and this should be a preventable public health crisis," he tweeted."Unlike COVID-19, we did not have to wait for new vaccines to be developed, and unlike COVID-19, monkeypox does not seem to spread effectively through respiratory droplets. Yet here we are, with cases rising and urgent action by federal public health institutions absent.
