In an effort to promote the notion of deregulation of products to be shipped off to Africa, the New York Times published yet another scary Mpox Power Point Propaganda Piece this morning on the status of the outbreak on the continent of Africa in which they, once again, used horribly inflated numbers (SEE REAL NUMBERS OF CASES IN AFRICA FROM WHO TABLE AT END OF THIS ARTICLE) to justify asking for millions and millions of dollars to be pumped into the vaccine industry while allowing less and less oversight into the safety of those products.
It's not hard for them to research the subject. All they have to do is go to the WHO website for Mpox.
Here is what Elian Peltier wrote this morning:
'More than 17,000 people in Africa have been infected with mpox, a disease that is closely related to smallpox. Mpox has killed nearly 600 people on the continent, or about 4 percent of those infected. ' NYT
And here are the facts: total number of infections since 2022 in Africa is 6,062 with 55 deaths (1% not 4%) while this year, 2024, there have been a total of 3,659 infections with only 33 deaths (0.901%).
