WHO backtracks, says Monkeypox pandemic "unlikely."

Reuters (Yahoo; Archived): Unlikely monkeypox outbreak will lead to pandemic, WHO says.

LONDON (Reuters) -The World Health Organization does not believe the monkeypox outbreak outside Africa will lead to a pandemic, an official said on Monday, adding it remains unclear if infected people who are not displaying symptoms can transmit the disease.

The WHO is considering whether the outbreak should be assessed as a "potential public health emergency of international concern" or PHEIC. Such a declaration, as was done for COVID-19 and Ebola, would help accelerate research and funding to contain the disease. (PHEIC...YAY ACRONYMS! -DD).

Asked whether this monkeypox outbreak has the potential to grow into a pandemic, Rosamund Lewis, technical lead for monkeypox from the WHO Health Emergencies Programme said: "We don't know but we don't think so."

"At the moment, we are not concerned of a global pandemic," she said.
[.]
...there is any spread of the virus by people who are not symptomatic, she added.

"We really don't actually yet know whether there's asymptomatic transmission of monkeypox - the indications in the past have been that this is not a major feature - but this remains to be determined, she said.

"At the moment..."

Well, the last most recent "moment" (a few days ago!), WHO told us Monkeypox is the 'tip of the iceberg'.

WHO site states the first case of human monkeypox was in 1970.

Fifty-two years to study monkeypox and the best the WHO can now say is, "we don't know but we don't think so"....and..."it remains to be determined."

Does WHO need another fifty-two years to reach any any degree of a conclusion one way or the other? What are teh scientists doing, well, other than being paid very well to be uncertain?

A toss up between the WHO and the UN on which is the most worthless organization.

Breitbart: 5 Shocking Facts About WHO Chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

* Tedros Helped Beijing Hide the Severity of the Chinese Coronavirus Outbreak

* Tedros is Not a Medical Doctor (JUST LIKE JILLY BIDEN! - DD)

* The WHO Director is a Member of the Leftist Tigrayan People’s Liberation Front (TPLF)

* Tedros Helped Indebt Ethiopia to China

* Tedros named Robert Mugabe a WHO ‘goodwill ambassador’

It kind of makes you miss 2021's deadly and apocalyptic "Mu" covid "variant", doesn't it?
