The central African nation of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is battling a record number of cases of mpox, fueled by a strain with a higher death rate than the variant that spread in Europe and America in 2022.
Getting the DRC outbreak under control, and containing it to within that country, is imperative, experts at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a report issued Thursday.
The spread of the lethal clade I strain of mpox "raises concerns that the virus could spread to other countries and underscores the importance of coordinated, urgent global action to support DRC’s efforts to contain the virus," said a team led by CDC research biologist Christina Hutson.
The strain of mpox (formerly known as monkeypox) that spread from Africa to Europe and North America two years ago was known as clade II.
While painful and sometimes severe, the illness resulted in a death rate ranging from 0.1% to 3.6% of cases, according to various studies.
But clade 1 mpox is more lethal, and deaths from the illness have ranged anywhere from 1.4% to 10% of patients, Hutson's team noted.
The ongoing outbreak of clade I mpox in the DRC has already claimed many victims: The DRC reports "multiple provincial outbreaks" occurring between the beginning of 2023 and April 14, 2024, with an estimated total of 19,919 cases and 975 deaths -- meaning that about 1 in every 20 patients have died.
This outbreak is also perhaps the most widespread: "During 2023 and 2024, clade I mpox cases were reported from 25 of 26 provinces and, for the first time, from the capital city of Kinshasa," the CDC team noted.

Soon to be spread among the homopedophile crowd.

Should call it homo ass sex pox.
But, but...you will need innoculations to prevent them!!!
CONvid vax booster 27.250 will stop it. Oh, and the heartbreak of psoriasis as well.
Had this been announced way, way back when the CDC had respect, it might have made a difference. Today?
Bwahahbahahahahahah! They’re real CDC doctors. They stayed at the Holiday Inn.
Buried in the middle of the article...
“...Luckily, there is an mpox vaccine, manufactured under the brand name Jynneos. It’s a two-dose regimen, with shots given about a month apart...”
What this is really about no doubt.
More on the vaxx, which was approved in 2019. Interesting timing...
Mpox, the virus formerly know as Monkeypox until the lefties banned the latter term (not wanting to stigmatize any of their sexually deviant buddies).
No, it was a boy, a greyhound if I remember correctly.
The last attempt at monkey pox was a bust...
Keep trying, tho...
Yall blew it with Wuhan..if there ain’t people coming down the street calling “Bring out yer dead!”, I ain’t playin.

Monkeypox (mpox) has disproportionately affected gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM);
Poofters can’t stop spreading disease and filth. Fact.
