First confirmed case of Monkeypox in non-endemic UK

On 7 May 2022, WHO was informed of a confirmed case of monkeypox in an individual who returned from Nigeria where the disease is endemic.   The case developed a rash on 29 April 2022 and arrived in the United Kingdom on 4 May, departing Nigeria on 3 May. By May 22 the WHO reported on Twitter that there are 11 non-enemic countries with "about 80 confirmed cases, and 50 pending investigations" with more likely to be reported, and travel links have not been established. Endemic monkeypox disease is normally geographically limited to West and Central Africa. [1, 2] It is reported that monkeypox has been found in an ‘atypical’ spread in several countries including the United States, Spain, Canada and Australia, and "could accelerate in the coming months", prompting an emergency meeting by the WHO. This world’s first-ever global outbreak of Monkeypox has occurred, just one year after an international biosecurity conference in Munich held a simulation of a “global pandemic involving an unusual strain of Monkeypox” beginning in mid-May 2022! [3] The UK is stockpiling vaccines as they fear cases are being missed, as the majority of cases are not linked, suggesting it is spreading more widely. Bill..> READ MORE

COVID-19 vaccine developers have a problem – not enough sick people

As early as May 22, 2020 the lack of infectious cases of COVID-19 was identified by Adrien Hill from Oxford's Jenner institute when he said to Science mag "...we're beginning to run out of good trial sites to do vaccine efficacy studies—even the U.S. is plateauing," ...People are going to fight for that site to get the vaccine tested before it runs out."  The disappearance of Ebola cases in November 2015 was a major problem for vaccine developers! Then on June 10, 2020 the Washington Post reported that Oxford University officials who were rushing to "develop coronavirus vaccines are alerting governments, health officials and shareholders" that declining numbers of new infections may be getting too small to quickly determine whether vaccines work! "Even as new cases are growing worldwide, transmission rates are falling in Britain, China and many of the hardest-hit regions in the United States — the three countries that have experimental vaccines ready to move into large-scale human testing in June, July and August." Volunteers need to be exposed to someone infected with the virus to determine if the vaccine works.

Following are links to "mask or not to mask" information! Do they work and are they detrimental to health? This is an aggregation of some of the scientific evidence, articles and opinion supporting "masks-don't-work" when it comes to stopping infection…

Computer model fraudulently shows unvaccinated spreading COVID-19

The Canadian media picks up on the conclusions of a scientific paper published in a Canadian journal on April 25, 2022, that allegedly concludes from computer modelling that unvaccinated people increase COVID-19 risk of transmission, compared to the vaccinated. BUT... Dr Byram Bridle in his substack article walks through how a simple change to just one "assumption" entered in to the mathematical model "completely reverses the conclusions of the paper". "Now the ‘unvaccinated’ are serving as a protective buffer for the ‘vaccinated.’" How could such a paper get through peer review and be published? Mathematical models (that generally have not been made public) have been used in South Australia [1, 2] and globally by Public Health to shape COVID-19 policy, their outputs are only as accurate as the inputs!  One change to the computer model parameters took the unvaccinated from "dangerous" to "heros"!

Global Health Security Agenda launched

The Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) was launched in February 13, 2014 in response to "the global threat that infectious diseases constitute in our increasingly interconnected world". United States joined 28 other countries, the World Health Organization (WHO), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE), to accelerate progress toward a world safe and secure from the threat of infectious disease, and committing to the goals of the Global Health Security Agenda. The pledge "means working together to slow the spread of antimicrobial resistance, reducing zoonotic disease transmission, establishing national biosecurity systems, increasing routine immunization, strengthening national infectious disease surveillance and laboratory systems, and developing real-time electronic reporting systems and emergency operations centers." By 2022 GHSA is a network of 70 countries, as well as international and non-government organizations, and private sector companies, "working to secure global health security". [1]

USAID launch EPT-2 disease threat response program

In November 2014, USAID launched their Emerging Pandemic Threats program 2 (EPT-2). EPT-2 is focused on mitigating the impact of novel “high consequence pathogens” that originate in animals with a goal of enabling early detection of new disease threats, effectively controlling those threats, enhancing national-level preparedness in advance of outbreaks, and ultimately reducing the risk of these diseases emerging by minimizing human behaviors and practices that trigger the “spill over and spread” of new pathogens. [1] EPT-2 has three overarching purposes: the prevention of new zoonotic disease emergence, the early detection of new threats when they do emerge,and their timely and effective response EPT2 consists of a suite of One Health Investments, PREDICT 2, One Health Workforce, and the Preparedness & Response, that contribute to each of these goals and are complemented by strategic investments in key partners including the CDC, U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, and the World Health Organization. "PREDICT, a project of USAID’s Emerging Pandemic Threats (EPT) program, was initiated in 2009 to strengthen global capacity for detection and discovery of zoonotic viruses with pandemic potential.  ...PREDICT is continuing to build platforms for disease surveillance and for identifying and monitoring pathogens that can be shared between animals..> READ MORE

President Biden announced “pandemic of the unvaccinated”; the vaccines are a failing – solution Boosters

President Biden claimed in a speech on July 29, 2021 that coronavirus is a "pandemic of the unvaccinated." [1] On July 29, 2021 The Highwire summarised the situation in that the "scientific and public health communities are now forced to accept the fact that neutralizing antibodies after vaccination are rapidly falling, which means the vaccine is failing. Their solution? Booster shots!" Five days later on August 3, 2021, Israel’s Health Ministry reported smashing a five-month record of new cases, the vast majority in the fully vaccinated population! Then September 30, 2021 the NEJM published a letter: "Resurgence of SARS-CoV-2 Infection in a Highly Vaccinated Health System Workforce." Clearly the vaccines are not effective at stopping infection  and thus transmission, the whole point of a vaccine in the first place!
