WHO declares Mpox outbreak in Africa a ‘global emergency’

The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared mpox outbreaks in Congo and other African nations a global emergency, highlighting the rapid spread of an allegedly new, “more dangerous” form of the virus across the continent.

Over 14,000 cases have been reported, with more than 500 deaths, mostly in Congo, where nearly 70% of the cases involve children under 15. No information has been provided on the methods used to test for the disease.

Vaccine availability in Africa remains critically low, exacerbating fears of health bureaucrats of a wider regional and global spread.

In an announcement WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the situation was urgent, noting the potential for the virus to extend beyond Africa, particularly as it spreads in camps for displaced people in conflict-ridden areas.

The Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) has also labelled the outbreaks a public health emergency, calling for international assistance to contain the virus. Experts warn that the new strain, which has a higher death rate and milder symptoms that make it harder to detect, poses a significant threat. Despite previous success in controlling a global mpox outbreak in 2022, the lack of vaccines and resources in Africa underscores a failure in the global response, prompted calls for immediate action to prevent further issues, claimed Ghebreyesus.

  1. Here we go again. An unelected body. who have not disclosed the methods of testing, are calling a global emergency. This is as shifty and tyrannical as it gets. Time to stand up and say “NO” to them and any sell out government here in New Zealand that backs them.

  2. Here we go again. Just in time for the American elections.
    ‘…Over 14,000 cases have been reported, with more than 500 deaths, mostly in Congo, where nearly 70% of the cases involve children under 15. No information has been provided on the methods used to test for the disease…’ ha! and we are just expected to believe whatever this bunch of crooks tells us.
    If the HOO can’t lockdown the Congo it’s time to stop paying the HOO.

  3. “WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the situation was urgent,….the lack of vaccines and resources in Africa underscores a failure in the global response,….”

    Sorry Ted I’m all out of f*cks. Perhaps that’s your job though don’t you think?. Or are you simply gas lighting us.

    What I thought was, that M pox was a disease caused by the mRNA ‘vaccine’ to those infected with HIV. Sadly the statistics for HIV are very high in many African countries. Unleashed upon us way too long ago to remember, and hidden from public knowledge until it had become well established. (((Mwah ha ha ha))) Oh the evil plan, such delight.👿also said that symptoms are mild and not very contagious. Has it become a killer virus in it’s new genisis?

  4. OK so this is just another false flag by spreading a virus in Africa then producing a miracle, off the shelf vaccine within days.

    A health practitioner is now able to call upon the police to use reasonable force to inject you.

    Your attention is drawn to the NZ Crimes Act 1961, Section 48. Self-defence and defence of another.

    48. Every one is justified in using, in the defence of himself or herself or another, such force as, in the circumstances as he or she believes them to be, it is reasonable to use.

    The only measure of one’s viewpoint is you. Not a health worker, not the police, not a judge.
