Apoorva Mandavilli at the NYT
'For the second time in two years, the World Health Organization has taken the extraordinary step of declaring a global emergency. This time the cause is monkeypox, which has spread in just a few weeks to dozens of countries and infected tens of thousands of people.
'Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the W.H.O.’s director general, on Saturday overruled a panel of advisers, who could not come to a consensus, and declared a “public health emergency of international concern,” a designation the W.H.O. currently uses to describe only two other diseases, Covid-19 and polio.
'“We have an outbreak that has spread around the world rapidly through new modes of transmission, about which we understand too little, and which meets the criteria” for a public health emergency, Dr. Tedros told reporters. It was apparently the first time that the director general had sidestepped his advisers to declare an emergency.'
Then this part:
'Nearly all the infections outside Africa have occurred among men who have sex with men.'
AIDS all over again? The politics of it, in other words.

Sounds as if it's a lot easier to avoid than covid. What do you mean 'hoax'? You think the disease doesn't actually exist?
So fucking sick of moronic internet conspiracy[curse] who invariably come from the US, or get their 'information' from American websites.

It's main character syndrome. They really think the entire world banded together to conspire to make Trump look bad and put Bill Gates chips into everyone's blood stream.

Re: monkeypox...the new "globalist" hoax?
The declaration of a global emergency by the World Health Organization due to the rapid spread of monkeypox to multiple countries is indeed concerning. Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus' decision to overrule advisers and declare a "public health emergency of international concern" reflects the gravity of the Drive Mad 2 situation.
