Is it too much to expect that someone in a position of authority will announce that the alleged threat from monkeypox is over? There is hardly a newspaper article about it, the U.K. had only approximately 3,500 recorded cases and even the BBC has told us that “The U.K.’s monkeypox situation is looking ‘very positive’ with cases continuing to fall”. Putting these figures in perspective, the percentage of people in the U.K. infected with monkeypox is 0.005%. Your chances of meeting someone with monkeypox is less that one in 100,000 – already negligible – but when you take into account that monkeypox is more prominent among men who have sex with men, then the average person would really have to make an effort to contract it.
I have long been writing about the purported monkeypox pandemic in scathing terms, asking “who’s afraid of the big bad monkeypox?“, and asking monkeypox to “raise its game“, reckoning that it had “bugged out“, that health experts in the U.K. were panicking, not because there were lots of deaths, but because there were none and should, therefore, “drop the dead monkeypox“. It is worth being reminded that of approximately 57,000 confirmed infections worldwide, only 22 have died and even Nature, usually at the forefront of fearmongering about all things pandemicky, says that this represents “a death rate of about 0.04%”. Across the world only 11 countries have recorded deaths ascribed to monkeypox, with Brazil and Nigeria top of this league at only seven deaths each. Initially, all the recorded deaths were in Africa, as monkeypox is endemic there, but the deaths elsewhere remain in single figures. The fact that Brazil has recorded the same number of deaths as Nigeria is not a cause for alarm given that Brazil’s healthcare system is ranked 125th in the world just below Botswana, not a country renowned for its healthcare system.
In light of the above it seems incredible to reflect that, according to JAMA, “On July 23rd 2022, World Health Organisation (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, PhD, declared the current monkeypox outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), overriding the WHO Emergency Committee, which decided 6-9 against recommending a PHEIC”. I see no evidence that the WHO has announced an end to this situation or declared victory over monkeypox which seems both incredible and incongruous given that it has recently declared that the end of Covid is in sight, while reported infections are clearly rising. Panic-Monger-in-Chief Dr. Tedros, is selective in what he wants us to panic about.
Still, as with Covid, some people just won’t let go. When the human cost of monkeypox was obviously not going to whip the population of the world into a frenzy there was news that one of our furry friends, a dog, had caught monkeypox. Now, despite the abundant evidence that monkeypox is almost impossible to contract and that if you live in a prosperous country with a well-developed healthcare system (and in the vast majority of cases, even if you don’t) you’ll pull through if you do get it, some scientists (remember them?) say that, while we should be forgetting about Covid and testing for it, we should be testing for monkeypox. These scientists “still fear the virus could become endemic in Britain if it spreads to animals”.
While the CDC says that monkeypox can spread from animals to humans, it provides no figures and nor does it cite any evidence. It does helpfully say that if you suspect your pet has monkeypox not to kill it or to put a mask on it! There is precisely one case – referred to above – of human to dog infection with monkeypox (we were spared the details of how the dog became infected) yet scientists are concerned about a pool of monkeypox in the animal kingdom that will come back to bite us and are “on alert” for monkeypox spreading back to humans. Is it too cynical to think that these same scientists want to develop and sell tests for monkeypox? Oh, it turns out they do. These same scientists “warn that future outbreaks are likely due to increasing levels of international travel”. All this sounds familiar.
Finally, just when you thought you’d heard the last of him, pandemic supremo Professor Neil Ferguson is making a monkeypox comeback tour. He “believes vaccines and vigilance have helped drive cases down from a peak in July this year”. What’s wrong with the man? Where are the predictions of bodies on the streets? We expect better from him.

Well two things:-
Think this is being especially hard on mice. No-doubt an effort to humanise the mices will be ongoing so we can all feel their pain too.
Well, all of these “public health” people are in the pandemic business, so expecting restraint from them isn’t that realistic, unless they are regularly put back in their box by the people that fund them. I don’t know much about what the WHO does but I tend to think we might be better off without it. National level “public health” bodies stand a bit more chance of being held accountable, but I would prefer if they had a more limited remit – actually I am struggling to think why we need them either.
Absolutely agree tof. The WHO has nothing to do with protecting people’s health, it exists to promote their demise.
Same as SAGE – their aim was to prolong the “emergency”, not to end it. Delegating these decisions to such people and expecting the turkeys to vote for Christmas is foolish. They are just a protection racket.
Just like the Fraud and Death Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Contraction (CDC).
Child Death Cult (CDC) also works.
I imagine the WHO as the main sales force for Big Pharma. Just like our MHRA has become an enabler rather than a watchdog so the WHO is planning to become an enforcer rather than an advisor. Without pandemics, they would be bleating from the sidelines but now of course, driven by Gates no doubt, they are on the verge of having almost totalitarian power through their Global Pandemic Treaty. A treaty used to be a binding formal agreement between two states, governed by international law. So how can a country have a ‘treaty’ with an unelected body of bureaucrats which gives that unelected body more power than that of the individual countries themselves even with their own specific laws? It is so wrong on all levels. Apparently, the Intergovernmental Negotiation Body (INB) has already held two public hearings on this this year – in April and September. Did any of you get invited? Or even hear about it? No, I didn’t either but these are what the WHO and, no doubt, our governments take as public consultations. In the WHO’s words…
“The WHO Constitution provides that, “Informed opinion and active co-operation on the part of the public are of the utmost importance in the improvement of the health of the people.” The INB public hearings: The World Together, and public interest and support in them, helps to advance this critical principle.”
Again, those dratted snake oil salesy words that creep out of every orifice of thinktank, NGO, government etc… I can take care of my own health, thank you very much, and don’t need the patronising tones of the WHO to do that.
Thanks for that. “Informed opinion” – not much chance of that given TPTB enthusiasm for lies and censoring dissent. “Active co-operation” – no, I will co-operate with myself and no-one else, thanks. But people bring this on themselves by outsourcing responsibility for their own lives to the state and expecting the state to fix everything that goes wrong.
I read an article, not sure where, that pointed out that the WHO had designated 2020 – 2030 as the decade of pandemics. I wonder why?
Monkeypox has been an absolute failure for the Davos Deviants and Billy in particular as he promised that ‘the next pandemic will make us sit up and take notice,’ and I have stated many times on here that some other ‘disease’ would follow the Covid 1984. I still suspect another brew is on the way.
Why? Well it appears come hell or high water they are desperate to get everybody perforated so there is something in these poisons that they want in ALL bodies. My bet is a link to the 5G business.
Without a doubt all linked to population reduction targets. 5G to stimulate cancers, heart disease and infertility?
Yes they mentioned that in the video I shared today. Interesting…So Monkeybollox was one, Gates has promised “pandemic number 2” will be a stonker…what else do they have up their sleeves i wonder?🤔 These “pandemics” really are like buses aren’t they??🤥🤭
Luciferase is in all the jabs. It fluoresces & apparently can be detected in the body – this is what was referred to as not needing a covid passport as they would know who had or hadn’t taken the toxin.
The name for goodness sake! How much more blatant can they get?? Is it the mark of the beast…??
It’s all getting decidedly demonic. Can you imagine having this sort of chat a few years ago? We’d be accused of watching too many episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. But come on…Luciferase?? Who on earth (or hell) thought that that was a good solid commercial name for it?
LOL, now that’s a blast from the past! 🙂 Lucifer is Dutch for ‘match’, which I think is rather apt. We have a Luciferstraat near me, nothing to do with the occult but it’s in the ”Light neighbourhood”, not far from the Philips museum. My factoid of the day…
Buffy would sort things out!
They’re wrapping up the monkeybollox vaccine campaign here in the NL. They say infections are way down but it’s too early to say how effective the jabs were. It’s obviously not the vaccines that are responsible for numbers dwindling is it? Less testing, less orgies and increased natural immunity is my bet. To give smallpox vaccines any credit would be just delusional imo.

i suppose it’s worth remembering that the individuals involved with this overarching fraud are (a) useless and (b) the most selfish people on earth. The multipandemic pantomime we’ve been forced to witness these last 3 years smacks of badly coordinated gangster factions trying to join forces for some grand scheme that none of them have the gumption nor balls to achieve. They really are a bunch of delusional halfwits who believe they have the power to brand and corral every human on earth like cattle. Now we see them tripping over their own lies, soon we’ll see them sell each other out as the heat from their stupid ‘vaccines’ comes to bear. I’m absolutely certain they’ll all end up in prison, at least the so-called ‘health’ faction.
Also, what happened to the Polio scare? A scare that was built literally on a pile of shit. Incidentally, when I Googled ‘Polio scare London 2022’, a page written by the WEF appeared at the top of the list.
https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2022/06/poliovirus-london-sewage-united-kingdom-vaccination/
The polio scare is still alive and well in New York it seems. But it seems to be dying down now. Now it’s the “triple threat” or “tripledemic” of resurgent flu, RSV, and covid at once that the barking heads are barking the loudest about these days.
And guess what Moderna (and probably Pfizer too) have in the R&D pipeline now? An RSV vaccine! So conveniently coincidental.
Despite two months of abundant rain and more thunderstorms in Reading as I’ve experienced ever since I moved here in December 2010, the Thames Water Unusually Dry Weather Emergency also still lingers on: There’s still a temporary hosepipe ban in Berkshire and I wouldn’t be surprised if this bit of openly political climate change posturing would surive until next summer.
Monkeypox should really be called MONEYPOX.
