This is why clinical trials are important. Unfortunately tecovirimat did not improve resolution of clade IIb mpox compared to placebo. There are currently no effective antivirals for the treatment of mpox and this is an urgent need. Disappointing result but at least we know.

Turns out the antiviral TPOXX (tecovirimat) doesn't work for mild/moderate Clade II #mpox ( #monkeypox) either, as previously shown for Clade I. Many treated people reported improvement, but symptoms typically resolve anyway -- that's why we need controlled trials. www.niaid.nih.gov/news-events/...

The dramatic changes this has brought have been humbling to witness. Hope for improved access worldwide and modulators for those with rarer mutations next.

We can pray he won’t get confirmed. But if he does, doctors who’s normalized RFK Jr. own the next 4 years. So do the doctors who normalized these cranks and charlatans. My latest for SBM. sciencebasedmedicine.org/ownit/

When RFK Jr. does to the U.S. what he did to Samoa, doctors will say they are horrified, that they love vaccines, blah blah blah. But it will be too late.
