Johns Hopkins' Dr. Adalja: Monkeypox Response 'Should Have Been Easy' But It's 'Been Haywire'

On Monday's broadcast of "MSNBC Reports," Senior Scholar at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security and Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Dr. Amesh Adalja said that while the monkeypox response "should have been easy" since we've known about the virus since the '50s, we have vaccines, tests, and antivirals, and it isn't very contagious, "we've seen a response that's basically been haywire." And this "really calls into question the ability of the government to respond to an infectious disease emergency the way we need them to."
