Reassuring about cases smallpox of monkeys growing in Europe and the US appeared the head of the Covid unit and Professor John Hopkins, Panagis Galiatsatos Speaking to SKAI and the show “Today”, as he said it is a virus that has existed for 70 years and doctors know how to deal with it.
«You do not need the same fear we had with Covid. In 2019 we learned about the coronavirus in China, because we saw a lot of people going to hospitals. With monkey pox, patients go to the doctor’s office because they see scars on their skin and it is a virus that we have known for 70 years. This is great because we know how to deal with it. We have medicines and vaccines“, He stated characteristically.
He added that with the coronavirus, the scientists were worried because the patients were asymptomatic and stuck to each other without knowing it. «“In the smallpox of monkeys, you stick it to the other when you have symptoms”, he underlined.
Mr. Galiatsatos pointed out that the question that the scientific community has to face is how this germ came out of Africa and reached Europe and the USA. «At first we thought maybe this virus has changed, maybe there is a mutation and you can get stuck with the breath, but this is not true“, He stressed.
Asked whether the population should be vaccinated, stated that it may be needed. «Τthe smallpox vaccine made by our grandparents we believe still works and will help with smallpox. The CDC and the FDA say the vaccine will be a tool for us. In fact, we have made vaccines for the smallpox of monkeys “.
However, he advised caution and not panic.
