EU approves Danish vaccine to treat Monkeypox
A Danish company has been given the green light by the EU to market its vaccine as an effective treatment for Monkeypox
Danish company “Bavarian Nordic” says the European Commission has given it permission to market its vaccine as an effective Monkeypox treatment.
The USA and Canada had already granted permission for it to be used.
The European Union had – until now – only allowed the Imvantex vaccine to be officially allowed to be marketed as a smallpox treatment.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the most recent cases were being detected among gay and bisexual men and men who have sex with men.
The vaccine had already been supplied to several European countries for official “off-label” use.
The World Health Organisation announced in recent days that Monkeypox was a global health emergency and raised it to the WHO’s highest level of alert over the weekend.
But he also cautioned against stigma,

Over 2200 monkeypox cases have already been identified in the United Kingdom.
The UK has already begun rolling out pop up vaccine centres in several locations to populations most at risk.
Around 98 per cent of identified cases in the UK are among gay and bisexual men, as well as men who have sex with men.
It is being distributed via sexual health clinics.
It is important to recognise that just one or two genital or anal lesions, or lesions in the mouth, can be signs of monkeypox, especially if you have had a new sexual partner.

Monkeypox is not strictly a sexually transmitted disease – requiring only physical contact or prolonged close proximity.
According to one recent study by researches at the Queen Mary University in London, sexual transmission is the largest factor.
But it can be transmitted via touch, droplets, or even coming into contact with surfaces that an infected person has touched.

Trump announces Greenland deal, easing tariff threats amid trade tensions, boosting US markets and sparking Arctic diplomacy debate.
U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a framework deal involving Greenland, stepping back from earlier threats to impose tariffs on Europe. The shift comes after heightened global concern over trade tensions and geopolitical stability.
The announcement followed Trump’s appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos and discussions with NATO’s Secretary General.
Denmark’s Foreign Minister has since weighed in, responding to speculation surrounding Greenland’s future and the implications of US involvement.
Markets reacted positively, with US stocks rallying after Trump signalled he would abandon the tariff threats.
While Trump reiterated he would not use force to acquire Greenland, the move has sparked renewed debate about diplomacy, trade, and influence in the Arctic region.

Coalition cracks deepen as Nationals break ranks over Labor reforms
Nationals senators defy party lines, voting against Labor’s reforms as Coalition faces internal rifts and leadership concerns.
Nationals senators defy party lines, voting against Labor’s reforms as Coalition faces internal rifts and leadership concerns.
A rift has emerged in the Coalition after three Nationals senators crossed the floor to vote against Labor’s post-Bondi hate group reforms, defying party lines and raising questions about their future in the shadow cabinet.
Their proposed amendment calling for greater scrutiny was rejected, and Labor’s legislation passed the Senate 38 votes to 22, cementing the reforms into law despite opposition pushback.
Coalition leadership will meet Wednesday to assess the political fallout, though some MPs consider the issue minor in terms of potential resignations. The incident highlights growing tensions within the party as internal discipline comes under pressure.
