Swedish health authorities announced the first case of the highly infectious mpox just a day after the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a global emergency for the outbreaks in Africa.

"In this case, a person was infected during a stay in the part of Africa where there is a major outbreak of (the more infectious mpox formerly known as monkeypox)," the Public Health Agency of Sweden announced on Thursday.

Magnus Gisslen, a state epidemiologist with the Swedish health agency, said the person had been treated and given "rules of conduct."

"The fact that a patient with mpox is treated in the country does not affect the risk to the general population," Swedish officials said

What concerns me is that this latest virus introduction to the world may in fact be a planned follow on to the insidious COVID vaccine attack which has left in its wake a notorious mRNA history of compromising the body’s immune system (VAIDS). It becomes increasingly easy to introduce another depopulation pathogen to the world after you have, through bio-engineering, weakened the worlds population’s natural bodily immune systems.

Africa, the motherland of all diseases.

"The fact that a patient with mpox is treated in the country does not affect the risk to the general population,"

Naw, just the people who were on the plane that landed in Sweden. It is spread by touch and clothing. Thank goodness he didn't touch anyone or his clothing didn't rub against someone as he was boarding or he didn't sit down in a plane seat or use the potty and road on the taxi roof on the way home.

No. It can be transferred through clothing. IOW, don’t bump against someone at the grocery store and don’t take home the already squeezed Charmin.

Careful you will rile up the you can only.catch monkeypox if you are gay mafia. They need to be self soothed into knowing that they can never get it as long as they don’t do gay things. Forget it’s one of the world’s best formite transmission virus and clade I has made its appearance in school kids in multiple countries now. I’m sure those kids are all gays doing tons of gay stuff.

“the sole source of transmission is gay sex”

How do you know this?

I tried searching for monkeypox transmission on Google but couldn’t get a straight answer.

(this is a joke)

"Laughing at them calling monkey pox “highly contagious”.

Perhaps it is for monkeys and wokeys.
