The World Health Organization a few days ago declared Mpox (monkey pox) a global public health emergency. Until recently the disease had been reported in Africa, but a case was then uncovered in Sweden. There is speculation that the virus has been isolated in wastewater in the US: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMO2q6-tHEU.
There are now YouTubers speculating this will be the virus that will enable mass election fraud in the US 2024 election, with mega-lockdowns, more severe thn the Covid lockdowns. While the virus is usually transmitted by sexual contact, it can be transmitted from surfaces, and this is the angle the pandemic industrial complex will probably take.
This is all speculation at present, as the Mpox virus has not expanded in the West to even remotely justify this. However, we need to keep monitoring this situation, as anything is possible.
"An industry produces what it is paid for
For the WHO and the international public health industry, mpox presents a very different picture. They now work for a pandemic industrial complex, built by private and political interests on the ashes of international public health.
Forty years ago, mpox would have been viewed in context, proportional to the diseases that are shortening overall life expectancy and the poverty and civil disorder that allows them to continue. The media would barely have mentioned the disease, as they were basing much of their coverage on impact and attempting to offer independent analysis.
Now the public health industry is dependent on emergencies. They have spent the past 20 years building agencies such as the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), inaugurated at the 2017 World Economic Forum meeting and solely focused on developing vaccines for pandemics, and on expanding capacity to detect and distinguish ever more viruses and variants.
This is supported by the recently passed amendments to the IHR.
While improving nutrition, sanitation and living conditions provided the path to longer lifespans in Western countries, such measures sit poorly with a colonial approach to world affairs in which the wealth and dominance of some countries are seen as being dependent on the continued poverty of others.
This requires a paradigm in which decision-making is in the hands of distant bureaucratic and corporate masters. Public health has an unfortunate history of supporting this, with restrictions on local decision-making and the pushing of commodities as key interventions.
Thus, we now have thousands of public health functionaries, from the WHO to research institutes to non-government organizations, commercial companies, and private foundations, primarily dedicated to finding targets for Pharma, purloining public funding, and then developing and selling the cure.
The entire newly minted pandemic agenda, demonstrated successfully through the COVID-19 response, is based on this approach. Justification for the salaries involved requires the detection of outbreaks, an exaggeration of their likely impact, and the institution of a commodity-heavy and usually vaccine-based response.
The sponsors of this entire process — countries with large Pharma industries, Pharma investors and Pharma companies themselves — have established power through media and political sponsorship to ensure the approach works."
