After the 'Crisis' WHO Adjusts Numbers of Mpox Cases and Deaths Down by about 95% or So

by Scott Creighton

UPDATES:

I searched '2022-24 Mpox (Monkeypox) Outbreak: Global Trends' which brought me to WHO main page for Mpox outbreak which mentions nothing of the numbers cited by so many news orgs 2 weeks ago. It leads to a link by same name which leads to the link I shared which has same numbers. In short... the number revision is accurate.

Today, with new numbers fresh on WHO website...

Mpox Update: WHO Says $87 Million 'Critical' for Containing Outbreak 

That's right. After adjusting the numbers downward by a ton, the WHO is still pushing for more $$$ for Big Pharma.

Can't make this shit up.

Just when you thought you might want to give Dr. T and the wacky folks at the WHO another chance (after 'accidentally' screwing up Covid response so badly) they turn around and do this.

They told us just two weeks ago that there were over 15,000 cases of Mpox in this new outbreak with 535 deaths attributed to it at the time. 

So of course, Dr. T declared the Mpox an international emergency and vaccine shipments were bought and paid for with the quickness.

Turns out, uh... yeah... its really 3,659 cases in the whole of 2024 all across the globe with only 33 deaths.

That's uh... 33 is about 5% of 535. 

Yeah you can't make this shit up but apparently the WHO can. 

 

'The World Health Organization on Wednesday again declared mpox an international health emergency in response to a growing outbreak in Africa, renewing deep concerns about a virus that seized global attention two years ago.

The declaration comes after Africa recorded more than 15,000 suspected and confirmed cases and 537 deaths this year, exceeding the toll in all of 2023. Infections reached record highs in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where the virus has been endemic for decades and where the vast majority of African cases are concentrated.'

Now from the current WHO website on the Mpox virus:

 

 

How about that. Massive downgrade of the 'emergency crisis' data from the WHO without any real explanation.

But they do offer a disclaimer:

'WHO makes no warranties or representations regarding the contents, appearance, completeness, technical specifications, or accuracy of the report. WHO disclaims all responsibility relating to, and shall not be liable for, any use of the report, the results of such use, or the reliance thereon.

WHO reserves the right to make updates and changes to the report without notice, and accepts no liability for any errors or omissions in this regard.' WHO

Yeah that sounds about right.
