It was fun while it lasted.  We actually had quite a few months without an official “global health emergency” to be concerned about, but now that streak is over.  On Wednesday, the World Health Organization announced that Monkeypox has officially been classified as a “public health emergency of international concern”.  Health officials have lost control of the new mutant strain that is spreading in Africa, and so that is why this move was made.  Compared to the strain that caused so much chaos in 2022, this new strain has a much higher death rate and we are being told that in many cases it is spreading without any sexual contact at all.  If this thing gets loose in the United States and Europe, the level of fear that we will witness will be off the charts. (Article republished from EndOfTheAmericanDream.com) For now, the only confirmed cases of this new mutant strain of Monkeypox are all in central Africa. But it is probably only a matter of time before it spreads to more areas. The head of the committee that determined that a “public health emergency of international concern” was warranted says that this new strain is an emergency “for the entire globe”…
Committee Chair Professor Dimie Ogoina said, “The current upsurge of mpox in parts of Africa, along with the spread of a new sexually transmissible strain of the monkeypox virus, is an emergency, not only for Africa, but for the entire globe. Mpox, originating in Africa, was neglected there, and later caused a global outbreak in 2022. It is time to act decisively to prevent history from repeating itself.”
Originally, all of the confirmed cases of the “clade 1b” strain were limited to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. But now more than 100 cases have been confirmed in the neighboring countries of Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda…
In the past month, over 100 laboratory-confirmed cases of clade 1b have been reported in four countries neighbouring the DRC that have not reported mpox before: Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda. Experts believe the true number of cases to be higher as a large proportion of clinically compatible cases have not been tested.
The strategy of containment has officially failed. At this point, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus is openly admitting that “the potential for further spread within Africa and beyond is very worrying”…
“The detection and rapid spread of a new clade of mpox in eastern DRC, its detection in neighboring countries that had not previously reported mpox, and the potential for further spread within Africa and beyond is very worrying,” Tedros said during the briefing.
So what do we know about this new strain? Well, first of all we are being told that it has a much higher death rate… Read more at: EndOfTheAmericanDream.com
