VATICAN CITY, Holy See — Pope Francis on Sunday highlighted victims of the mpox virus in his weekly prayers and called on governments and the pharmaceutical industry to do more to get vaccines to the worst-hit countries."I pray for all the infected people, in particular the population of Democratic Republic of Congo, so affected, I express my closeness to the local churches most touched by this disease," the Pope said during his Angelus prayers in St Peter's Square.
"I encourage governments and private industry to share the technology and available treatments so that nobody lacks adapted medical care," the Pope said.While mpox has been known for decades, a new more deadly and more transmissible strain—known as Clade 1b—has driven the recent surge in cases.Clade 1b causes death in about 3.6 percent of cases, with children more at risk, according to the WHO.The virus has swept across DR Congo, killing more than 570 people so far this year.
