Cases of a 'bone breaking' disease have created an 'emergency situation' in the Americas, a United Nations agency has warned.
Jarbas Barbosa, head of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), confirmed more than 5.2 million cases of dengue fever across the Americas this year, a nearly 50 percent jump from the 3.5 million cases the group reported late last month.
More than 1,800 people have died from the mosquito-borne viral illness, up from over 1,000 deaths reported last month in the year through March.
'We have an emergency situation,' PAHO Director Jarbas Barbosa said in a press briefing.
Barbosa warned that supply of an existing dengue vaccine is 'very limited' and even widespread vaccination would not have an immediate impact on interrupting the ongoing outbreak.
'The dengue vaccine can play an important role in reducing severe cases of deaths, but it will take time until the effects of the vaccine can be reflected in the decrease in dengue cases,' Barbosa said.
The situation had become so dire in Brazil that tent hospitals were erected in Brasilia and other cities at strategic points to triage patients with the virus.
Florida has seen two cases of local transmission this year.
Last year, the Sunshine State identified 601 travel-associated and 61 locally acquired cases of dengue, according to the CDC.
Dengue, nicknamed the ‘bone-breaking disease’ for causing joint and muscle pain so severe that it feels as if the bones are breaking, is a virus that typically runs its course and resolves.
But in as many one in 20 cases it can lead to bleeding and organ failure.
It most commonly causes a range of flu-like symptoms such as a fever, headache, pain, nausea, swelling, and a rash, for one to two weeks but it can develop into a severe and deadly infection.

You obviously read the ‘dreck’ I addressed to you. You just don’t want to hear anything that disagrees with your opinion. (It appears that you don’t like facts that do, either.)
It still has limited use in some countries.
Another small success for Fauci, Gates, Soros and Schwab.
You beat me to it and said it better.
Most countries that have a issue with dengue fever won’t let you in without the WHO yellow card showing current vaccination against it. Nearly every service member who has served active duty since the 1960s has already been given the dengue vaccine. It’s part of the deployment shot protocol for every theater except Europe.

According to Wikipedia:" Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne tropical disease caused by dengue virus.
It is frequently asymptomatic; if symptoms appear they typically begin 3 to 14 days after infection.
These may include a high fever, headache, vomiting, muscle and joint pains, and a characteristic skin itching and skin rash."
Dengue <> yellow fever I just looked at my retention command records we all got yellow fever not dengue. I always figured they were the same. Turns out dengue is multi strain and since the 1920s scientists have been trying to make a quad version.
I wonder what the purpose is of proving vaccination.
“Dengue Fever is perfectly natural.”
It is always around someplace. Not worldwide. Not as a “pandemic”.
Epidemiologists blame the global rise in temperatures, which allows mosquito(e)s which carry the virus to live longer and thrive across a wider swathe of territory. …Wonder why this was left out of the excerpt. Protecting the credibility of the epidemiologists?
It’s a tropical disease. By definition, that’s not ‘worldwide’. But mosquitoes - and people - travel.
One thing I forgot in my post 28 is ‘urban cycle’ transmission; which may be why some countries require visitors to be vaccinated to this and Yellow fever. You can’t catch either disease from someone who has it; but a person who has it can be bitten by a mosquito and transfer the virus to the mosquito.
Probably not a big problem for most of the US. But the article referenced ‘the Americas’, not ‘America’. I imagine it is a big problem in parts of Central and South America.

Again, do NOT take the Dengue vax, DISREGARD the fear they are pumping.
MRNA vaxs are dangerous…and can be deadly, much more deadly than Dengue.
In Colombia they called it “ break bone fever”, when I caught it was bad, but as the only very young and very old died of it, it was of no concern to most.
I will say it FELT much worse than the Covid I caught at 64 years of age, but very survivable and not fatal.
IVERMECTIN!
“Ivermectin was also identified as a promising agent against :
•chikungunya
• Semliki Forest and
• Sindbis virus, as well as
• yellow fever, a flavivirus [5].
Moreover, a new study indicated that ivermectin presents strong antiviral activity against the:
•West Nile virus, also a flavivirus, at low (μM) concentrations [6].
This drug has further been demonstrated to exert antiviral activity against:
• Zika virus (ZIKV) in in vitro
-PubMed
IVERMECTIN (cont’d)
“ Recent research has confounded the belief, held for most of the past 40 years, that ivermectin was devoid of any antiviral characteristics. Ivermectin has been found to potently inhibit replication of the yellow fever virus, with EC50 values in the sub-nanomolar range. It also inhibits replication in several other flaviviruses, including •dengue•, Japanese encephalitis and tick-borne encephalitis, probably by targeting non-structural 3 helicase activity.97 Ivermectin inhibits dengue viruses and interrupts virus replication, bestowing protection against infection with all distinct virus serotypes, and has unexplored potential as a •dengue antiviral•.”
I don’t think the vaccine in the research article you posted is in use, nor any mRNA vaccine for Dengue.
Bill Gates and Oxitec released a fresh batch of genetically-modified mosquitos in Brazil about six weeks ago.
The mosquitoes have been brutal in Argentina this year. Mosquito repellents sold out early and travelers warned to bring their own because you can’t get it in Country. I don’t know about Brazil.
