Top U.S. infectious diseases official Dr. Anthony Fauci said monkeypox poses "a profound risk" to groups including pregnant women and children, despite most cases so far being among men who have sex with men.

Speaking to NPR on Tuesday, Fauci stressed it was important to combat stigma when tackling the spread of monkeypox—a virus that had infected more than 19,000 people worldwide in this year's outbreak as of July 26.
