The US health authorities have signed a deal for $119 million in vaccine doses against the monkeypox virus, after a Massachusetts man was diagnosed with the rare but potentially serious illness earlier this week.
The Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) – a government agency devoted to combating pandemics and bioterrorism – signed the multi-million-dollar contract with Danish pharma firm Bavarian Nordic on Wednesday, the company announced in a statement.
The $119 million deal is one in a series of contract options which could ultimately reach a total value of $299 million if exercised, in exchange for around 13 million freeze-dried doses of the Jynneos vaccine. It was originally created for smallpox, but was approved for use against monkeypox by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2019, just months before the first cases of Covid-19 were detected in China.
Initial deliveries for the Jynneos shot won’t come until 2023, the company said, noting that the full 13 million doses are expected to be ready sometime between 2024 and 2025 should BARDA agree to extend the contract.
The first monkeypox case in the US was confirmed on Wednesday in a man who had recently traveled to Canada. Federal health officials have since said they are monitoring six others after they came into close proximity to an infected traveler during a flight from Nigeria to the UK earlier this month, while another possible case is being investigated by the New York City Health Department.
A number of suspected or confirmed infections have also been observed in Britain, Canada, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Sweden in recent weeks. Australia has just detected its first case.
On Thursday, Bavarian Nordic announced that it had also reached a deal with an “undisclosed European country” for the same dual-use smallpox vaccine – though offered under different branding – “in response to new cases of monkeypox.” The company did not elaborate on how many doses would be procured or provide an overall price tag for the contract.
In addition to vaccines, the US government also moved to buy up doses of tecovirimat, the standard antiviral treatment for monkeypox, with the Department of Defense signing a $7.5 million contract for the drug with American pharmaceutical firm SIGA Technologies last week.
An intravenous form of the same antiviral received FDA approval for treatment of smallpox on Thursday, though SIGA said the IV version was also “cited in the recent US president’s budget request as being used to treat a patient in the US with monkeypox.”
While rare, monkeypox has been detected in the US before, with a Texas resident becoming hospitalized from the virus last summer after traveling to West Africa, where the pathogen is endemic. In 2003, more than 70 cases were confirmed in the US, marking the first outbreak seen outside of Africa, according to the World Health Organization.
Initial symptoms include fever, head and muscle aches, swollen lymph nodes, chills, and exhaustion, and though most infections resolve without serious illness, the virus is lethal in a small percentage of cases.

Hey eutimes, or is it ejewtimes? In the noos today, a picture of a black Africanus Homo-Erectus pre-human pre-historic Humanoid Ape/Primate covered in sores and blister like eruptions of Monkeypox which infects only the black Africanus, and next to picture of the black Africanus Homo-Erectus, a picture of a White European with a scab on a finger and the hand, which the Asiatic Khazar “Chozionites” media are palming orf as “Monkeypox” as the new “Scariant” to terrorise the Sheeple into getting “Vaxxxinated” against a condition which, in my estimation, is either bacterial in origin, or a condition that is passed from monkeys, primates, to black Africanus Homo-Erectus humanoid apes/primates, that does not affect White Europeans. The fact that the “Chozionite” media are still peddling “Covidiot” C-O=(6)R-O=(6)-N=(5)-A=(1)=(666) CORONA is Latin for:”Crown” of Satan, and in MONKEY VIRUS there is:(O=(6)-N=(5)-(O=(6)-(S=(1)=(666) which, like the non-existent “Covidiot” virus, Monkeypox will be the new CORONA “Crown” of Satanbug to kill orf or cause serious “vaxxxine” damage to possibly millions of Sheeple who, once the “Chozionite” media sell the Monkeypox virus scam, the Sheeple will be begging to be “vaxxxinated.” The “Chozionite” “vaxxxine” corporations may be counting their chickens before they hatch with the suggestion that thirteen million batches of the fake Monkeypox virus “vaxxxine” may not be available until 2024/2025, have the “Chozionite” (“Synagogue of Satan”) owned and controlled bogus “vaxxxine” corporations been looking into their crystal balls lately to divine the future? Hey eutimes, or is it ejewtimes? You will publish my comments won’t you, after all, if “Freedom of The Press” exists, so does “Freedom of Speech and Expression” or is that “Freedominatrix” and “Exprezzion.” (:laugh x(3).
Hey eutimes: Reinstate my comments regarding the above story about the Monkeypox Virus that isn’t a virus, anymore that the “Spanish Flu Virus” was a virus, it was, as you know, as do the bogus vaxxxine corporations, Bacterial Pneumonia and Bacterial Meningitis, which the bogus vaxxxine corporations palmed orf as a “virus” that liquidated an estimated 50/100 million White Europeans, and possibly some non-Europeans. Hey eutimes: What part of:”New World Order Dedicated To “Jews” “Jew” York Times 1940, does BoJo the BoZo Boriz Johnstein not understand?, as the “price” for the near total destruction of Europa and japan and the liquidation of over 50 million White Europeans and over (2) million Valliant Japanese Warriors who fell defending South East Asia against Satanic “Jewish” Bolshevik Communism, together with the indefensible use of the “Jewish” Hell Bomb, the Atom Bomb that was dropped on the only two Roman Catholic Cities in Japan, Hiroshima and Nagasaki that had absolutely no military importance whatsoever, they were civilian cities that were targeted to cause maximum deaths and inflict maximum damage on the Japanese “Goyim.”
All BoJo the BoZo Boriz Johnstein and Co of the “New World Order” dedicated to “jews” circa 1940, need to know is that, who sows the wind, reaps the whirlwind. Jolly Old Eng Land and “The Second Promised Land” of “Cod’s Chosen People, USATAN, did not produce a (12) Year Old Battlion Commander in the shape of Alfred Czech who was Awarded the Iron Cross (2)nd Class for Bravery and Courage Above and Beyond The Call of Duty, as did (16) Year Old Wilhelm Hubner for Braver and Courage Above and Beyond The Call of Duty. You all know about the two piss heads who sold what was America and Britain down the toilet: Oliver Criminalwell and Woodrow “woodenhead” Wilson, for what amounted to peanutz, and the world has paid in blood ever since. By the way, has Jacobi Rothschild opened his Palace doors to Ukrainian refugees like “Buckinghamshire Palace?”
The non-white “refugees” and “migrants” have virtually turned Europa and most White European population countries Black Africanus and Middle Eastern Koranicanus because there isn’t quite enough space in their own vast continents, yes , the Middle East is a vast Continental Shelf, but it is not quite big enough for the Middle Easterners. The sooner Elon Musketeer gets his rockets to Marsbar the better, it will solve the problem of the “Black Plague” and “Koranicanus” invaders, where they can all be sent.
I guess they will be spraying the virus from planes into the air or putting it in the water and food, if they expect a big Monkey pox pandemic.
How much will they pay the doctors to make it happen?
How much will they spend on the media, making all the hypochondriacs out there fear and think they have it?
All for their love of genocide. I guess to them, it is priceless.
Because of how much richer will they all get from this new next but not the last, pandemic con game?
There is no such things as viruses. Viruses have NEVER been proven to exist.
Do some research into Terrain Theory.
