Why LGBTQ Protestors Say Monkeypox Is a "Public Health Failure"

On Monday, advocates protested outside the U.S. Health and Human Services office in San Francisco to call out the slow federal response to the monkeypox outbreak and the low supply of monkeypox vaccines. Members of the LGBTQ community say the inattention is reminiscent of another public health crisis: the HIV/AIDs crisis of the 1980's. San Francisco AIDS Foundation CEO Dr. Tyler TerMeer joins host Cecilia Lei to discuss why, and Chronicle health reporter Erin Allday shares the current risk for wider community transmission of monkeypox. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod
