First Polio Outbreak In 30 Years Declared In Mozambique
All Africa ^ | 5/19

Posted on 05/19/2022 6:04:48 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Health authorities in Mozambique declared an outbreak of wild poliovirus on May 18, 2022 after confirming that a child in the north-eastern Tete province had contracted the disease. This marks the second imported case of wild poliovirus in southern Africa this year, following an outbreak in Malawi in mid-February 2022, the World Health Organization's (WHO) Regional Office for Africa said in a press release.

The lone case so far, is the country's first since 1992. Genomic sequencing analysis indicates that the newly confirmed case is linked to a strain that was circulating in Pakistan in 2019, similar to the case reported in Malawi, WHO noted.

Polio is transmitted mainly via contaminated water and food, or through contact with an infected person. The virus can cause paralysis, and is sometimes fatal.

How long will it take for some illegal to carry it over our southern border?

What did Bill Gates know about the polio in Mozambique, and when did he know it?

In some countries, it is believed that vaccination for polio will make males infertile.

Can you imagine the ‘crisis’ if the polio test was as ubiquitous as the SARS-CoV-2 test, and the public knew the truth?
