Britain is stocking up on thousands of monkeypox vaccines and treatments amid fears the current spate of cases is only the tip of the iceberg.
Nine Britons have been diagnosed with the contagious virus so far and the majority of cases are not linked, suggesting it is spreading more widely.
The UK's drug watchdog told MailOnline it was monitoring the current outbreak and 'working with companies to speedily bring forward suitable treatments'.
Health chiefs also revealed to MailOnline they have bought thousands of vaccine doses and are already deploying them to close contacts of infected Britons.
The latest outbreak has been described as 'unusual' by experts because person-to-person transmission of monkeypox was thought to be extremely rare.
Six of Britain's cases are in gay or bisexual men, which officials say is 'highly suggestive of spread in sexual networks'.
Cases have also been announced in the US, Spain and Portugal, making it the most widespread monkeypox outbreak to date.

Sources of outbreaks. Seems most diseases either come from Africa or China.
“The United Kingdom has confirmed nine cases of monkeypox since early May. The first of these cases had recently traveled to Nigeria. None of the other cases reported recent travel.
Five cases were also confirmed in Portugal on Wednesday in young men, with 15 cases under investigation.
Health authorities in Spain said late on Wednesday that they were also assessing 23 possible cases of monkeypox, mostly in men who have sex with men.
The Epoch Times contacted Massachusetts DPH for further relevant information regarding the U.S. case.
Monkeypox symptoms typically begin with flu-like illness and swelling of the lymph nodes. It progresses to a rash on the face and body. Most infections last two to four weeks.
The virus does not easily spread between people, according to Massachusetts DPH.
Transmission can occur through contact with body fluids, monkeypox sores, items such as clothing or bedding contaminated with fluids or sores, or through respiratory droplets following prolonged face-to-face contact.” (Epoch Times)

I wonder how long before we’re all forced to take the monkey pox vaccine or be denied basic rights.
Before the USA acts on the threat, the name of the disease will have to be changed. No way is uncle joe going to go on stage and say “monkeypox” and not be called racist.
“The latest outbreak has been described as ‘unusual’ by experts because person-to-person transmission of monkeypox was thought to be extremely rare. Six of Britain’s cases are in gay or bisexual men, which officials say is ‘highly suggestive of spread in sexual networks’.”
Obviously disinformation because everyone knows that homosexuals are just like everyone else. They just want equality. They just want to have normal, loving, monogamous, lifelong relationships, and raise children like heteronormative persons do.
Clearly someone is trying to spread discord by painting homosexual men as decadent and promiscuous, and we know that’s not possible, so this disinformation needs to get shut down immediately. And anyone who spreads it needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
