NYC monkeypox numbers are 'definitively' not the full picture, health official says

New York City's monkeypox case numbers don't show the full picture of how bad the outbreak is, and demand for vaccines in the city is outstripping supply, city Health Commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan said Tuesday.
When asked on CNN whether he thought the current numbers reflect the full picture, Vasan replied, "I think we can say definitively it's not. And that's because only now are we seeing clinical testing starting to ramp up."
Vasan said officials were encouraged that there are now five commercial labs partnered with the federal government to significantly expand capacity to ensure that doctors can order tests and get results quickly.
Attempts by conservatives to purge state voter rolls ahead of the November election, including from Donald Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee, are ramping up, prompting concern from the Justice Department that those efforts might violate federal rules governing how states can manage their lists of registered voters.
