The Biden administration announced Wednesday that it is expanding monkeypox testing to commercial laboratories amid fears that the country is undercounting monkeypox cases because of insufficient testing.
The Department of Health and Human Services announced that it began shipping moneypox tests this week to five private testing companies: Aegis Science, Labcorp, Mayo Clinic Laboratories, Quest Diagnostics and Sonic Healthcare.
The testing through these companies will begin in early July, HHS said.
“These commercial laboratories will dramatically expand testing capacity nationwide and make testing more convenient and accessible for patients and health care providers,” the department said.
Some public health experts have warned that the U.S. risks repeating the mistakes of the early weeks of the COVID-19 outbreak, when there was not enough testing to detect how widely the virus was really spreading.
“Now the United States, once again, appears to be responding to a new health threat with an underpowered testing response,” Jennifer Nuzzo of Brown University and Jay Varma of Cornell University wrote in a Washington Post op-ed this week.
There is already a network of public health labs across the country able to do monkeypox testing, but experts say that it will be easier for doctors to order tests from commercial laboratories where they have established relationships and can jump through fewer hoops, thereby encouraging more testing.
“All Americans should be concerned about monkeypox cases. Thankfully we have right now the tools to fight and treat cases in America,” said HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra. “By dramatically expanding the number of testing locations throughout the country, we are making it possible for anyone who needs to be tested to do so.”

Men, don’t b******k other men and you’ll be fine.
say...a potato, does the test automatically come back positive
I think i read “no” but it will if you test rhesus pieces...
LOL!
Seriously, though, Deep State is doing the same thing with the alleged monkeypox outbreak that it’s done with CoupFlu: tightly control testing.
Still wondering if orthopoxvirus vectored CoupFlu vaxxes are playing a role in this so-called outbreak. If PrEP, HIV status play any part...
The monkeypox scare is not working as planned
Pride month is ending… time for Moneypox.
Headline leaves quite a bit out, doesn't it. That it's not traces of wild polio, but vaccine derived polio that're being detected...in wastewater.
Also, no mention of illegal immigration.
Looks like at least one Deep State has found its new scare...
Because there’s nothing like keeping the fear porn going by over counting cases.
Getting those homosexuals into the schools just in time.
Looking to declare another scam-demic to control the population.
BE ADVISED: The Democrat/Communist Party will do whatever it takes -- WHATEVER it takes at whatever cost and pain is inflicted to hold on to power. Power over other people is truly the Democrat/Communist's only purpose in life ... the only reason for their existence.
It’s not going to takeoff unless they get crop sprayers and bombard cities
That is the way it was with the Wuhan flu. People who don't have cancer may stil have cancer cells and test positive for cancer cells. People who don't have the Chinese flu may still have some Chinese flu in them, must not enough to make them sick.
