U.S. monkeypox case reported, as Spain, Portugal report infections in growing outbreak (MA)

The United States confirmed a case of monkeypox infection on Wednesday in a man who recently traveled to Canada. It is not yet clear if the man, who lives in Massachusetts and who traveled to Canada by car, is connected to the growing outbreak of monkeypox cases in Europe.

The case was announced in a statement posted to the website of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Confirmatory testing was done by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which had warned earlier Wednesday that cases in this country were likely to begin to be detected.

“Given that we have seen now confirmed cases out of Portugal, suspected cases out of Spain, we’re seeing this expansion of confirmed and suspect cases globally, we have a sense that no one has their arms around this to know how large and expansive it might be. And given how much travel there is between the United States and Europe, I am very confident we’re going to see cases in the United States,” said Jennifer McQuiston, deputy director of the CDC’s division of high consequence pathogens and pathology.

McQuiston said in an email Wednesday that it has not yet been determined if the Massachusetts case was part of the growing European outbreak.

The development adds the United States and possibly Canada to a growing list of countries reporting monkeypox cases in an outbreak first spotted in the United Kingdom. The Public Health Agency of Canada said in a statement late Wednesday that no cases have been reported at this time.

ALSO FROM grey_whiskers:

“Most of the cases have been detected in men who are gay, bisexual, or are men who have sex with men, she confirmed, but cautioned against over-focusing on that fact.”

Like HELL they don’t understand the patterns of spread.

What does having been jabbed for COVID do as far as your prognosis wrt monkeypox?

How much did Bill Gates, Moderna, and Pfauci invest in monkeypox drugs (see https://nitter.net/marjoverse/status/1527141803928977409#m)?

“Inhibition of cowpox virus and monkeypox virus infection by mitoxantrone”
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3272698/

On the other hand:
What are the symptoms of monkeypox?
According to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the symptoms of monkeypox and smallpox are quite similar, however, the severity of symptoms in the former is milder than the later.

The original smallpox vaccine from the 1800s works against monkey pox but then the neocons won’t have their bioweapon. Since smallpox was eradicated only the USA and Russia have stocks of it at our “bioresearch” aka weapons labs. If they mass vaccinated against the real smallpox then the perfect bioweapon would be lost and some argue that the MAD doctrine would be voided due to one country being able to use smallpox as a weapon one the rest without the vaccines. So this is why the nonreplicating smallpox/monkey pox vaccine it doesn’t convey lasting immunity nor stop a biological weapon. The stupid is strong we should be passing out the original smallpox vaccine like candy to everyone old enough to take it. Immunity only lasts 3 years not lifetime like people tend to believe. Workers in biolabs and anyone exposed who has not been vaccinated the last three years is considered unprotected. The data shows a 50 fold drop in protection after ten years and tenfold at 5 so 3 is the booster interval. The UK is today starting to vaccinate its health care workers they know what’s coming.

Infectious Disease ping : Monkeypox spreading in Spain

bitt :" “The midterm variant”

Received and email this morning which states :
"BREAKING: The number of patients treated for suspected Monkeypox in the last two days in Madrid
is “between 40 and 50”, hospital sources tell El Pais" "

“the flow of patients to the emergency services has not stopped”
sourced news: through twitter

One has to wonder if this is another "gain of function" research blunder, or malicious intent.
Don't forget that the Wuhan Institute of Virology is still open for business, and being run by the ChiCom military.

Coincidentally timed as the WHO is currently pushing for a world-wide treaty to fight viruses,
with a treaty which over-rules all national sovereignty.
A treaty that is endorsed by all the key players of the last lab created "gain of function" research such as the NIH, FDA, and CDC.
Why would they support such a "great reset" of medical information , you ask ?
Probably because they are the most knowledgeable and experienced at imposing medical tyranny over national sovereignty in politics,
and have a prior history of success.

Addendum :
News Source :
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-10833529/Monkeypox-spotted-Italy-Sweden-bringing-number-countries-cases-SEVEN.html

" UK is stockpiling ‘thousands’ of monkeypox vaccines and drugs as experts fear dozens of infections are slipping under radar
Nine Britons have been diagnosed with the contagious disease so far and the majority of cases are not linked, suggesting it is spreading more widely." (Emphasis mine)
Monkeypox is now spotted in Italy and Sweden - bringing number of countries with confirmed or suspected cases to SEVEN

"The Italian patient tested positive in Rome after returning from the Canary Islands and the Swede was diagnosed in Stockholm. No further details have been given.

It brings the number of countries outside of Africa was confirmed or suspected cases to seven. Patients with confirmed monkeypox have been confirmed in the UK, US, Spain and Portugal, while Canada is probing potential cases.
Experts fear the known cases are the tip of the iceberg, with the majority of patients not linked to each other, suggesting it is spreading more widely." (Emphasis mine)

Fortunately , there is a vaccine for this virus.
The availability remains unknown.
