A September 15, 2022, Science magazine article on MPXV included an interview with Dr. Bernard Moss, a preeminent pox virologist who has worked for decades at NIAID and is a NIH Distinguished Investigator. In the interview, Dr. Moss noted he and his colleagues had swapped dozens of genes from the much more transmissible, but less deadly, clade II MPXV into the more deadly clade I MPXV. The article stated that the Moss team was “planning to try the opposite, endowing clade II virus with genes from its deadlier relative.” The proposal to transfer genes from the deadlier clade I into the more transmissible clade II alarmed some scientists who believed a more potent version of the mpox outbreak strain could spark an epidemic that would be substantially more lethal.

 

Quote

Over a period of 18 months, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the NIH, and NIAID repeatedly obstructed and misled the Committee about whether the transfer of genes from clade I into clade II experiments described by Dr. Moss in the Science article had been approved or conducted. Initially, HHS and the NIH refused to answer any questions about the research. HHS also refused to provide most of the requested documents to the Committee unless they had already been made public. Eventually, some requested documents were made accessible, but only if Committee staff went to HHS offices to review these documents in camera. To the extent HHS and the NIH provided briefings, documents, or document viewings, it was almost always to avoid either a transcribed interview or a subpoena.

WHO Director Considers Declaring Public Health Emergency Over Mpox Virus Outbreak

The World Health Organization’s director-general said the United Nations health body is considering declaring an emergency for mpox, also known as monkeypox, amid an outbreak in Africa.

“But more funding and support for a comprehensive response are needed,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus wrote on the social media platform X on Sunday. “I am considering convening an International Health Regulations emergency committee to advise me on whether the outbreak of mpox should be declared a public health emergency of international concern.”

The latest announcement was made as the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said in a report last week that mpox has now been detected in 10 African countries this year, including Congo, which has more than 96 percent of all cases and deaths.

Officials said nearly 70 percent of cases in Congo are affecting children younger than 15, who also accounted for 85 percent of deaths.

There have been an estimated 14,250 cases so far this year, nearly as many as all of last year, the Africa CDC said. Compared to the first seven months of 2023, the Africa CDC said cases are up 160 percent and deaths are up 19 percent, to 456.
Burundi and Rwanda both reported the virus for the first time this week, while new outbreaks were recently reported in the Central African Republic and Kenya.

Campbell drills down on the Monkeypox thing.

He mentions that in GB its entirely among the gay male population.

If there were any documented cases of transmission due to heterosexual sex, such cases would be mentioned on the news on a weekly basis.

On a positive note, he mentions the prospect of a reliable non-mRNA vaccine. OTOH, in this era of sociopathic, covert GoF lab work, I'm not convinced we can rely on the natural "clade 1" and "clade 2" designations and testing to indicate long-term risks.

In fact, although it can be traded via homosexual sex, from what I heard on the news the other day, there is common transmission among children, just through holding hands or playing.

Yes, its that virulent.

Whether monkeypox virus can exploit humans as a viable maintenance host will inevitably depend on the virus’ capacity for sustained inter-human transmission. Epidemiologic modeling studies performed in the 1980s led to the conclusion that it would be highly improbable for monkeypox to become established in human populations owing to the virus’ intrinsic lack of transmissibility [29•, 30]. The stochastic models used in these studies incorporated numerical estimates for contact and transmission rate variables that were derived from directly observed data [31].

And even assuming ‘worst case scenario’ conditions — whereby vaccine-derived immunity in the starting population was 0% — the resultant number of cases per simulation increased by approximately a factor of 4, but still no simulations resulted in indefinite, sustained virus transmission [30]; the R0 never achieved ≥1.

The CDC states that mpox is far less contagious than COVID-19 or the flu because you get it from an infected person when you come in direct contact with the rash on their skin, their lesions, or bodily fluids, or if you touch bedding or clothing that has come in contact with those.

You can also get mpox through droplets that disperse during prolonged face-to-face contact, such as kissing or cuddling, and through direct, intimate physical contact such as sex, according to the CDC.

Animals, such as dogs or cats, in an infected person’s household can become infected and transmit it to others. In Africa, infected wild animals are a common way people become infected.

In a statement, Santa Clara County’s health department said it wouldn’t comment on specific patients but said, “It is possible, but far more rare, to get monkeypox through contact with respiratory secretions and shared surfaces such as clothes, towels, or bedding.”

The WHO reiterated that there had been 15,000 “clinically compatible” cases, and about 500 suspected deaths. The implications of these 500 unconfirmed deaths, equaling just 1.5% of the malaria deaths in DRC over the same period, are discussed in a previous article.

Journals such as the Lancet have dutifully towed the WHO’s ‘emergency’ line, though intriguingly noting that the mortality could be far lower if “adequate care” had been provided. Africa CDC agrees, with more than 17,000 cases (2,863 confirmed) and 517 (presumably suspected) deaths of Mpox have been reported across the continent.

Small outbreaks in Africa mostly went unnoticed by the rest of the world, mainly because they were (as now) small and confined. Mass Smallpox vaccination may also have suppressed numbers still further a few decades ago, as Smallpox is in the same Orthopoxvirus genus of viruses. So, we may be seeing an upward trend of this generally milder illness (fever, chills, and a vesicular rash) over recent decades since Smallpox vaccination ceased.

The business case for this approach, from the corporate viewpoint, is well-proven. So are the harms in countries like DRC, as a mass vaccination program of this nature requires redirection of millions of dollars and thousands of health workers who would otherwise be addressing diseases of far larger burden.

Gee, sure seems like we've seen this movie before.

Quote

THE World Health Organization (WHO) has approved the first mpox vaccine for use in adults, and also says it can be used for babies, children, teens and pregnant women if they are in ‘outbreak settings where the benefits of vaccination outweigh the potential risks’.

It gets better;
 

Quote

 

Children’s Health Defense (CHD) Chief Scientific Officer Brian Hooker called the WHO’s approval of the shot for infants and children in Africa ‘a train wreck in the making’.

Hooker told The Defender: ‘The safety profile is abysmal in adults (up to 2.1 per cent serious cardiac events in clinical trials) and the vaccine has not been adequately tested for efficacy or safety in pediatric populations.

‘In other words, the WHO has no idea whether it will work nor do they know how much damage it will do. The WHO has again abandoned good public health principles and waved their magic vaccine wand on the mpox outbreak.’

Dr David Bell, a public health physician and biotech consultant, also criticized the WHO for overly focusing on mpox vaccines and neglecting to address broader public health issues in Africa.

 

Can't help but wonder if there is a subconscious "extinction rebellion" motive for pushing a dangerous vaccine out to Africa.

Or "Minor Attracted Persons" (see also child molesters)  are infecting them.

For the third time in less than a month, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has altered its guidance on how Covid-19 spreads. The agency said Monday that airborne transmission is possible, but that it's not the most common way the virus travels from person to person — a position that was published and then removed from its website in September.

The CDC updated its page on the spread of virus Monday to say that "some infections can be spread by exposure to virus in small droplets and particles that can linger in the air for minutes to hours."

Those small droplets and particles in turn may be able to infect people who are farther than 6 feet away "from the person who is infected or after that person has left the space."

 

Remember when the authorities were claiming that natural immunity wouldn't be as effective or last as long as mRNA immunity?

All COVID-19 vaccines currently available in the United States are effective at preventing COVID-19. Getting sick with COVID-19 can offer some protection from future illness, sometimes called “natural immunity,” but the level of protection people get from having COVID-19 may vary depending on how mild or severe their illness was, the time since their infection, and their age.

Overall, 19,418 1:1:1 risk-sets were included. After 9 months of follow-up, the cumulative risk of new SARS-CoV-2 infection was 21.8%, 22.0%, and 25.9%, respectively, among exposed to natural immunity, vaccine-induced immunity and unexposed.

To assess if mutations in the MPXV DNA replication complex (RC) contribute to the outbreak, we conducted a temporal analysis of available MPXV sequences to identify mutations, generated a DNA replication complex (RC) using structures of related viral and eukaryotic proteins, and structure prediction method AlphaFold. Ten mutations within the RC were identified and mapped onto the RC to infer role of mutations. Two mutations in F8L (RC catalytic subunit), and two in G9R (a processivity factor) were ∼100% prevalent in the 2022 sequences. F8L mutation L108F emerged in 2022, whereas W411L emerged in 2018, and persisted in 2022. L108 is topologically located to enhance DNA binding affinity of F8L. Therefore, mutation L108F can change the fidelity, sensitivity to nucleoside inhibitors, and processivity of F8L. Surface exposed W411L likely affects the binding of regulatory factor(s). G9R mutations S30L and D88 N in G9R emerged in 2022, and may impact the interaction of G9R with E4R (uracil DNA glycosylase). The remaining six mutations that appeared in 2001, reverted to the first (1965 Rotterdam) isolate. 

 

This may turn out to be interesting. A small pharma house has been digging into mutations in the Monkeypox virus strains causing recent outbreaks, and tabulating the mutations over time.

They're presumably interested in developing vaccines and treatments, but their data may get picked up by others interested in looking into GoF manipulations.

Proving that monkeypox continues to be an epidemiological nonentity, as we have been at pains to point out in these pages for several years, for example here, the  report says that this year alone in Africa diagnoses with monkeypox have surpassed 9,959 (so is that 9,960?) and deaths total 85. That puts the infection fatality rate of monkeypox at less than 1 per cent and an infection rate across Sub Saharan Africa (population 1,243,107,741) at 0.000081 per cent.

Even if the figures applied only to the DRC (population 102.3million) the infection rate is 0.0097 per cent. Juxtapose that with the fact that fighting in the Congo has already claimed 700 lives this year.

Of course, death from an infectious virus is no laughing matter and monkeypox looks like a nasty infection to contract. However, in the developed world it is almost totally confined to gay men. In fact in the DCR, where most cases are reported, over 83% of monkeypox cases are linked to sex work and disproportionately affects children and pregnant women.

 

In that last paragraph, "DCR" should be "DRC" of course.

The numbers don't correlate at all with the narrative, but you knew that already.

I doubt that. Its the authoritarian/totalitarian folks in government and the health care industry that are pushing the Monkeypox narrative.

The B, G & L people seem to have their hands full fighting the T people these days.

You have a point there.  My gay buddy up in Dallas is completely fed up with the T people, and their destruction of all the tolerance built up for gay people.

In other news, we are all going to die of monkeypox. That is if we all adopt the habit of having anal sex with someone who is infected. Again, linked in our old favourite, Global Health Now, of April 2, we are told that monkeypox ‘presents a growing epidemic and pandemic risk’, according to Nature Medicine.

So far, it seems, monkeypox has not really been trying. But now it is flexing its virological muscles, getting into its stride and finding its ‘entire endemic range’. The truth is concealed within the article where, it is revealed, nothing has really changed.

As before, those most at risk are men who have sex with men, infants and young children and immunocompromised individuals. If any of the above live in areas such as the DRC, their risk increases significantly. But as most of us do not live in the DRC, have anal sex or are immunocompromised, I think we can breathe easy.
