and keeping that delicate balance so as to not perpetuate discrimination against the lgbtq community? >> sure. i think you said it best, it is a balance. it is important for us when we talk about monkeypox or any infectious disease that we focus on those at greatest risk but we're transparent with the community about everybody's risk. in the case of monkeypox, we have been very intentional about our communications to make sure that we're speaking to those who are greatest risk and proximal to the current outbreak but important to recognize everyone is at risk. there is a risk for everyone. >> what is your thoughts -- what are your thoughts on how the federal government has been handling, you know this monkeypox outbreak? there has been a lot of criticism about the delay and why are you acting now, especially with this vaccine shortage that we're seeing across the country? additional doses are being made
we're beginning to think it's more common, about 20 po 30% of the people who take paxlovid will end up having another positive test a few days after completing the course or a return of symptoms. and so, i think that the protocol that the white house is using in terms of the two negative tests makes a lot of sense. i should make sure to tell people that is not what the cdc recommends. i think they should recommend that for all americans and not just president biden and jill biden. those two negative tests are very, very important to making sure that when she goes back out into the world that she's not contagious and doesn't infect others. >> so, it seems like nearly everyday carries with it a headline, a worrisome headline about the monkeypox outbreak. and there's a vaccine shortage. give us your overview as to what you're seeing about the outbreak and how worried americans should be about catching the virus. >> yeah. i would say the response is struggling.
monkeypox is proving that that is not the case. facing a massive vaccine shortage, the fda announced this week an emergency use authorization that allows health care providers to administer a fraction of a dose of the monkeypox shot. this will increase the number of doses available by up to five fold. but critics say, this strategy means that thousands of people disproportionately queer men of color will receive what's in effect a watered down weaker inoculation. earlier this month, it was reported that the department of health and human services bundled, getting monkeypox vaccines getting into arms earlier, because it failed to ask for stocks of the vaccine. it already owned the bottled for distribution. joining me now to discuss is joseph osmundson, a micro biologist, queer activist, and the author of virology essays from the living and the death, and the small things in between.

Monkeypox cases are rising exponentially in some communities in California at a time when the only vaccine approved by the FDA to protect against the infectious viral disease is running short across the United States.
in the after math, and what the the conversations were like about the 25th amendment and the possibility that they would try to get donald trump removed from office which of course didn't happen. you know, when it comes to doug mastriano, i think the committee may have had high hopes for what they could get out of him. he was someone behind the scenes supporting donald trump's efforts to overturn the election, chartering buses to the capitol on january 6th. his appearance before the committee lasted 15 minutes. his attorney cut it off very quickly, and he did not answer any questions. >> sara murray, thank you. >> thanks. the biden administration has a plan for getting around the monkeypox vaccine shortage. we will explain, next. with downy infusions, let the scent set the mood. feel the difference with downyn. i strip on public transit. i strip with the guys. i strip all by myself.
