Children in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo are worst-affected by the current outbreak of mpox, which has been declared a public health emergency of international concern by the World Health Organization. The country accounts for nearly all of this year’s recorded cases and more than 450 deaths. “It began like a small, inflamed spot. The mother squeezed it and watery discharge came out. Then another developed, and after a short period, they were all over the body,” says Alain Matabaro, describing how mpox developed in his six-year-old son Amani. He started recovering after four days of treatment at a clinic in Munigi, close to the major eastern Congolese city of Goma. Some 75% of the cases being seen by medics there are under the age of 10, according to Dr Pierre-Olivier Ngadjole who works for the charity Medair.

So most likely gain of function by these maniacs and/or child buggery, which is also a pasttime of these pigs.

Wow, the BBC SUDDENLY develops an interest in CONGO leading up to the 2024 American presidential election. And its corollary with the sudden attempts to develop hysteria about monkeypox. Wonder why.

That table of age groups tells the story.

Table 1. Age distribution of reported mpox cases and deaths in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, 1 January to 26 May 2024 (n=7 851).

age # percent

<1 897 (11)​

FWIW, I wouldn’t trust their figures any more than I’d trust ours.

Child mortality is high in the DRC for a number of reasons, so sick children are already at greater risk.

The only possible remedy is to immediately bring half the population of the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the United States, and register them as Democrats.

Odd, we’ve been told it’s mostly transmitted by anal sex...

These media marxists never stop with ridiculous hoaxes, mpox, global warming, covid 19, swine flu, bird flu, climate change, peak oil running out of oil, ozone layer going away, many more .

most of these were just the common flu and others just fabricated lies like climate change

I don't get how people fell for the covid hoax after how many times the evil marxist media has lied before. anything the media focuses on a lot you know to believe the opposite.
