has reported its first confirmed cases, sparking fears of a potential global outbreak.

Once again, denial is playing a key role in the inadequate response to a public health emergency. As with HIV/AIDS and COVID-19, the tendency to downplay or ignore emerging threats has allowed mpox to gain a foothold, leading to devastating consequences.

Overcoming Denial: A Call to Action

To effectively combat public health crises like HIV/AIDS, COVID-19 and mpox, we must address the root cause of denial. This starts with acknowledging that denial is a natural human response to fear and uncertainty. Individuals and communities must be met with empathy and understanding, rather than judgment or scorn, to encourage open dialogue and education.

Public health leaders and elected officials play a critical role in shaping public perception and response to health threats. They must prioritize transparency, clear communication and evidence-based interventions to build trust and combat misinformation.

Healthcare providers, too, have a responsibility to educate their patients and advocate for preventive care. By addressing denial at the individual level, healthcare professionals can help patients make informed decisions about their health and well-being.

Ultimately, overcoming denial requires a collective effort. We must recognize the impact denial has on public health, and work together to create a culture that values science, truth and compassion. Only then can we effectively confront the challenges of today and prevent the crises of tomorrow.

As the threat of the new mpox variant looms, there is a concerning statistic that only one in four high-risk individuals in the United States has received the JYNNEOS vaccine. This highlights a larger issue of denial that continues to plague our response to infectious diseases and chronic illnesses.

Denial is a powerful defense mechanism that can prevent individuals and communities from taking necessary precautions and seeking treatment. In order to combat this, clear and consistent messaging is essential. Leaders in public health, such as Dr. C. Everett Koop and Surgeon General Luther L. Terry, have shown how effective communication can drive action and change public perception.

Unfortunately, government agencies often struggle to overcome bureaucratic delays and cautious communication strategies. This can lead to a lack of transparency and erode public trust. In the case of COVID-19 and mpox, officials have hesitated to admit uncertainties and provide clear guidance, further complicating the situation.

It is crucial for public health leaders and elected officials to change their approach in order to effectively communicate with the public. By providing clear and honest information about risks and benefits, individuals can make informed decisions to protect themselves and their families.

As viral threats continue to evolve and chronic diseases remain a concern, now is the time to prioritize transparency and education. By learning from past mistakes and shifting towards a more open and inclusive communication strategy, we can better prepare for future health crises and save lives.
