WHO Declares Monkeypox a Global Health Emergency

monkeypox

On Aug. 14, 2024, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared monkeypox (mpox) a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC). “Today, the Emergency Committee met and advised me that in its view, the situation constitutes a public health emergency of international concern. I have accepted that advice,” said WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus,1 2 3 who added:

The detection and rapid spread of a new clade of mpox in eastern [Democratic Republic of the Congo], its detection in neighboring countries that had not previously reported mpox, and the potential for further spread within Africa and beyond is very worrying.1

According to the WHO, there have been more than 14,000 cases of mpox reported in the DRC and 524 deaths so far in 2024. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has confirmed 1,634 mpox cases have been reported in the U.S. this year.3

“What we’re seeing is tip of the iceberg,” said Dr. Dimie Ogoina, professor of medicine and infectious diseases at Niger Delta University in Nigeria. “We need concerted international action to stem this recent, novel outbreak,” said Gregg Gonsalves, global health activist and epidemiologist at Yale University. In a special report published in The Vaccine Reaction last month questioning whether public health officials are preparing to bring back widespread vaccinia virus (smallpox) based vaccinations, Barbara Loe Fisher  noted that a researcher (Dr. Placide Mbala-Kingebeni) in Africa had warned that the “mutated clade is more virulent and better adapted for human-to-human transmission, allowing it to spread silently between individuals and potentially sustain itself globally.”2 4 5 6 

The WHO previously declared mpox a PHEIC on July 23, 2022. That epidemic, which ran through May 11, 2023, infected some 100,000 people in 116 countries, killing about 200. COVID-19 was also declared a PHEIC by the WHO on Jan. 30, 2020. That pandemic lasted through May 5, 2023.4 7 8 9 

FDA Grants EUA for JYNNEOS Mpox Vaccine

On Aug. 9, 2022, the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for an mpox vaccine known as JYNNEOS (also known as Imvamune or Imvanex), manufactured by biotechnology firm Bavarian Nordic A/S of Hellerup, Denmark. The vaccine, designed to be given in two doses four weeks apart, is authorized for “prevention of smallpox and monkeypox disease in adults 18 years of age and older determined to be at high risk for smallpox or monkeypox infection.” JYNNEOS is made using weakened (attenuated) live vaccinia (smallpox) virus.3 10 11

The most common injection site reactions to the JYNNEOS vaccine are pain, redness, swelling, induration (thickening and hardening of skin) and itching. The most common systemic adverse reactions include muscle pain, headache, fatigue, nausea and chills. The incidence of cardiac adverse events following vaccination with JYNNEOS is unknown. A study published in the journal Vaccine last year noted that the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended that people with “underlying cardiac risk factors should be counseled about the theoretical risk for myopericarditis” after getting the vaccine.11 12

Bavarian Nordic, whose stock soared 17 percent the day after the WHO’s emergency declaration, has confirmed it has 500,000 doses of its JYNNEOS vaccine in stock and can supply 10 million doses to countries in Africa by the end of 2025. “We have inventory and we have the capabilities. What we’re missing are the orders,” said Paul Chaplin, CEO of Bavarian Nordic.13 14

ACAM2000 Mpox/Smallpox Vaccine Also Available

The FDA has also licensed an mpox/smallpox vaccine known as ACAM2000, produced by Emergent BioSolutions, Inc. of Gaithersburg, Maryland. The live virus vaccine is designed to be administered in one dose. Based on clinical studies, myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and/or pericarditis (inflammation of the tissue around the heart) occurs in 1 in 175 adults who receive the ACAM2000 vaccine for the first time.15 16

  1. Don’t believe anything the WHO says. They are the most dangerous group on the planet. Do not be fooled again.

  2. WHO is Widespread Hysteria Organization for the elites not we the people. No TY, keep your “vaxx” and I’ll keep my right to choose what happens to my body. Haven’t we learned how chafing a virus with a vaxx is insane after all the failures of the flu shots? #LordHaveMercy

  3. And so the scam sequel begins . . . amazing how there were exactly 14,000 cases reported.
    Even if true . .
    what constitutes a case? (clue – a number high enough to scare and justify the declaration) All really died of this? DRC is a good place to experiment with gain of function . . . and to make up pandemics, no scrutiny from within or from without.
    Out of 8-9 Billion?
    42,000 annual car fatalities in the US, 49,000+ suicides annually (US), .5 million annual heart disease deaths, death by doctor (prescribed drugs/accidental) .5+million annual deaths, Death by vaccines, millions globally – annually, saved by vaccines – 0. Can’t prove that the immune system would not have dealt with germ but for vaccine. Absolutely no proof.
    Can we just skip immediately to Nuremburg trials for all those involved in this medical tyrannical mafia/cabal

    1. Sadly no. The justice apparatus is broken in this country, has been for some time. Policy is for sale. At this point the most effective thing any one of us can do is vote with our wallet, vote with our feet, vote with our clicks online. Stop feeding into their systems. Nobody voted for the WHO around here. Their power is not legitimate and binding over our personal lives. Those people destroyed their own credibility in the eyes of billions of people around the world.

      Here; Try my brand; http://www.1360khnc.com Dr Sherry is on sometime around two to three in the afternoons. The financial guys are on in the morning. And other interesting news.

  4. So every time there is an important election where democrats may lose power, we have a new pandemic? Who’s still buying this? As if it was not enough when they way they suddenly adjusted down the pcr testing cycles right after Biden got into office and covid magically went away… Those people are not experts. What they are doing is not science. Proof positive some of the stupidest people on this planet hold the highest offices at many governmental institutions. They just play along and do what they are told. Meanwhile many people are still perplexed by one important question; If the whole world is in debt, to whom are we indebted?

    Barbara from NVIC wrote a very long informative piece on monkey pox.

  5. There’s speculation that they’re adding MPox to the aerosol spray mixture they spray into the atmosphere, namely, chemtrails. They’ve added it to the chemtrail mixture.

  6. Oh gees, another pandemic?? That was their plan. We didn’t start the pandemic. Only those who are part of it must be held accountable right now. Why didn’t they arrest Dr. Fauci and put him in prison?? What the heck. I despise him, a very terrible man!!! Another mask mandate? Another vaccine??!! We are so sick of it. Stop the madness.

  7. we better get prepared to refuse this vaccine without consequences and have medical options for treatments that don’t kill us (like the ventilators).

  8. “10 million doses to countries in Africa”? The ongoing effort by white Europeans to depopulate Africa.

  9. The true pandemic in the USA is the fact that 250,000 people die every year from the DOCTORS’ mistakes! I guess WHO is not going to help Americans because the vaccine for that will never be created 🤡🤡
