“Groundbreaking” study uncovers why adenovirus-based shots caused life-threatening blood clots and bleeding in some people

In October–November 2025, eight autochthonous cases of monkeypox (MPXV) clade Ib virus infection were reported in the Netherlands. All cases were men who have sex with men aged 25–65; none required hospital admission or antiviral treatment. Phylogenetic analysis combined with contact tracing suggest multiple introductions or cryptic circulation with onwards transmission within the community. Highly related international sequences were identified dating back to August 2025, indicating sustained global community transmission of clade Ib outside the African continent.

Vaccine critics like to say that pediatricians profit from vaccines. This report found something very different.
