Mpox warning issued in UK after cases spread in Europe
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"UK health officials have urged those eligible to get vaccinated against mpox as a particular strain of the disease is spreading in European countries. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is aware of small numbers of locally acquired cases of an mpox strain called clade Ib' in the USA, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands and Portugal, which have no connection to countries with known transmission. The health agency said this suggests there is now community transmission of the disease globally."
Reporters are being sent to cover developing stories on reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, supported by donations that fund on-the-ground journalism. Donations enable journalists to interview multiple perspectives and sustain reporting without paywalls, with quality journalism funded by those who can afford it. UK health officials urge eligible people to get vaccinated against mpox as a clade Ib strain spreads in several European countries and the USA. The UK Health Security Agency identified small numbers of locally acquired clade Ib cases in the USA, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands and Portugal, suggesting global community transmission. Most new cases have been among gay, bisexual and men who have sex with men; common symptoms include skin rashes or pus-filled lesions lasting two to four weeks. Sixteen clade Ib cases were reported in England as of 20 October.
