Well, we all knew this might come — viral vectors bear Darwinian imperatives, too. The communities at risk need to be more vigilant, as well. Still — we hold out hope — that wider vaccination protocols… will arrest this outbreak.
Here is the disappointing news, out of Berlin — from CIDRAP:
…A rapidly expanding cluster of mpox caused by clade 1b virus has been identified among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Berlin, Germany, according to a rapid communication published last week in Eurosurveillance. Of the 35 identified cases from December 2025 to last month, 34 were most likely acquired locally.
The sharp increase in locally acquired infections marks a shift from historic patterns in which most mpox cases in Europe were largely travel-related. Clade 1b of the mpox virus (MPXV) was newly identified in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and several other countries in East and Central Africa in 2023….
Tough news, indeed. But onward, now — to see whether Artemis II has solved the tanking / liquid hydrogen leaks problem, around this noon-time, Eastern.
