The World Health Organization declared the mpox outbreaks in Congo and elsewhere in Africa a global emergency on Wednesday, with cases confirmed among children and adults in more than a dozen countries and a new form of the virus spreading. Few vaccine doses are available on the continent.
Earlier this week, the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that the mpox outbreaks were a public health emergency, with more than 500 deaths, and called for international help to stop the virus’ spread.
“This is something that should concern us all … The potential for further spread within Africa and beyond is very worrying,” said WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
The Africa CDC previously said mpox, also known as monkeypox, has been detected in 13 countries this year, and more than 96% of all cases and deaths are in Congo. Cases are up 160% and deaths are up 19% compared with the same period last year. So far, there have been more than 14,000 cases and 524 people have died.
Here we go again with the deceit, corruption and manipulation of deep state…Nothing on this earth can reach those that do not allow it…
Because Tedros is a charlatan. The sooner WHO is buried into a big deep dark hole, the better. DO NOT COMPLY.
Interesting that very few of our population are aware if this new monkey pox, and it’s spread across the Africa continent. I wonder if it is being kept under wraps, or people are just not hearing about it, or IF IN FACT, people just don’t WANT to know about it.
After the covid experience, I would hope that this information would be much more available to the general population ASAP so it can be dealt with……
