The emergency declarations for Mpox triggered a flurry of appeals for 'vaccine equity' and the mass production of additional vaccine doses, citing a need to 'learn lessons' from COVID-19.

Compared to COVID-19, Mpox has no such epidemic potential because it requires close contact for transmission.

Lower extremity amputation secondary to diabetes and/or peripheral artery disease is a significant health issue globally. Many amputation prevention programs exist in academic settings; however, given the increasing administrative burdens associated with large institutions, it can be challenging to develop and maintain such programs in the modern era. Private amputation prevention clinics may be a viable alternative, allowing for greater control over services provided and better ability to meet patient needs.
