New data shows the glaring disparity between people infected with monkeypox versus those who are getting vaccinated. JessicaMooreTV reports.
New data from the state shows most cases are occurring among gay or bisexual men between 25-34 years old. Demographically, 31% of cases are among white men, 30% among Hispanic, and 17% African American.
Vaccines tell a different story. Statewide, white patients are overwhelmingly more vaccinated, at 63.3%, but only 13.4% Hispanic, and 7.7% African American. "First in line, my hand is out, saying 'What more evidence do you need when you see the numbers in New York? Especially New York City - people want to get vaccinated. They're desperate for this," Hochul said.
"It's scary. It's scary, and I don't know how the testing is coming along. So we have to do more with testing," said Hell's Kitchen resident John Lombardi. The state is also working to expand availability of TPOXX, an antiviral drug that can shorten or alleviate symptoms of the virus.
