WHO convenes emergency committee over monkeypox outbreak

6

The World Health Organization has decided to convene an emergency commission due to the increase in the incidence of monkeypox in the world. The main topics of the meeting will be the methods of spreading the disease, the incidence among representatives of sexual minorities, as well as the situation with vaccines.

At the moment, cases of infection with monkeypox have been identified in ten European countries. In particular, in the UK, the health agency (UKHSA) discovered 20 new cases of infection on May 11, as announced by Health Minister Sajid Javid.



Thus, the viral infection begins to spread rapidly in Europe. Not the last role in this can be played by migration processes, which are gaining momentum in the region after the start of the Russian special operation in Ukraine.

Meanwhile, according to the assurances of Rospotrebnadzor, the likelihood of the spread of monkeypox in Russia is extremely small. However, information about disease outbreaks in European countries needs to be studied - this, in particular, was discussed at a regular meeting of the interdepartmental commission of the Russian Security Council on the creation of a national system of protection against new infections.

These are isolated cases, but they, of course, also inspire serious concern.

Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, emphasized.

    First, monkeys were brought in, adapted, and now they deigned to worry that diseases are transmitted from them to people ... Where is the logic?

    According to press reports (not only Medvedev, but also Mikheev, for example), "monkey pox" is an extremely rare disease and much less dangerous to humans than covid. They are echoed by specialists.

    From this we can conclude that the purpose of convening the "commission" is to level, zero out a much more serious topic for discussion, namely "American military biological laboratories."

    They say "monkeypox" is yes, this is serious, but "biological laboratories" are nonsense and garbage on palm oil ... unworthy of the attention of a serious organization. It is obvious.

    I wonder if our moneybags have completely polished their brains with fat? Will they go to the "commission" with a smart look to discuss? Basically - Hurray! ... well, finally, at least somewhere "let"?

    If only they had struck a blow in Europe ...

    Yes, and the dad had crowds of dark-skinned people on the border. Where did they evaporate?

    Again, a new genie was released from the feathered laboratory in order to put everyone in muzzles again, and even worse, to its tune. Total mode set - dissenters to the nail.
