WHO declares mpox outbreak a global health emergency
CNN ^ | 8/14/2024 | Maya Davis

CNN — The World Health Organization on Wednesday declared the ongoing mpox outbreak in Africa a global health emergency.

WHO convened its emergency mpox committee amid concerns that a deadlier strain of the virus, clade Ib, had reached four previously unaffected provinces in Africa. This strain had previously been contained to the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Independent experts on the committee met virtually Wednesday to advise WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on the severity of the outbreak. After that consultation, he announced Wednesday that he had declared a public health emergency of international concern — the highest level of alarm under international health law.

Also known as PHEIC, this is a status given by WHO to “extraordinary events” that pose a public health risk to other countries through the international spread of disease. These outbreaks may require a coordinated international response, according to the organization.

How ‘bout that?

Perfectly timed with an upcoming election.

What are the odds?

Masks, lockdowns, mail-in voting. A new genre of mandatory, “safe and effective vaccines.”

Not this time.

Like reading from a script, we are now in act 2 scene 1, announce generic health crisis, scene 2 will be media reports of the need to isolate and how serious it really is.
Scene 3 will be how we all need to cede our sovereignty to the un-elected bureaucrats in the UN for the greater good.

Why is it that all of these new diseases that becoming global health emergencies are also pathogens that Anthony Fauci has been funding gain of function “research” on?

Seems awfully coincidental to me.

Hunnerd percent! Death, taxes, and DemonRat/Progressive/Globalist election interference, all in the same probability cohort.

Don’t forget isolation, school closure, and — of course! — vote-by-mail ONLY.

I don't think the left is even that retarded, but hey, you never know.

For a primarily homosexual disease?

Where did you get that info?

None of the 3-4 sites I read said anything about homosexual contact. They did say "sexual contact " or skin to skin contact with someone who has the monkypox.

And they made sure to let the reader know " Monkeypox" is derogatory.. to who? MONKEYS?

Idk SAVE THE MONKEYS ? call it MPOx.

any hole isn't always good for your soul...

It’s not very easy to contract: primarily skin contact with someone who has one of the pus-oozing rashes. As it’s already in the US in the male sodomy crowd, I wouldn’t be too worried.

Monkeypox has historically been primarily sodomy-pox.

Monkeypox is not airborne, but they will pretend it is and require masks.

Not to mention that 98% of the cases result from men having anal sex.

Here's another, albeit much funnier one:

Terrifying 'sloth fever' virus has spread to humans with 19 victims in Europe so far - and now experts warn: 'We should be worried... this could become unstoppable.'

People who have multiple or new sexual partners are currently most at risk. Engaging communities of gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men to raise awareness is essential to protect those most at risk. If you are a man who has sex with other men, know your risk and take steps to protect yourself and others.
