Monkeypox Vaxx? USGov't "Lost" 20 MILLION Doses

 People at CDC and NIH and NIAI (and FDA) are by far the smartest people in the universe, right?

Less than a decade ago, the United States had some 20 million doses of a new smallpox vaccine — also effective against monkeypox — sitting in freezers in a national stockpile.


Such vast quantities of the vaccine, known today as Jynneos, could have slowed the spread of monkeypox after it first emerged in the United States more than two months ago. Instead, the supply, known as the Strategic National Stockpile, had only some 2,400 usable doses left in it in mid-May, enough to fully vaccinate just 1,200 people.

The rest of the doses had expired.
Cool.
