THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION declared mpox a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) this week. Because of its handling of COVID-19, many view this as another power grab.
We understand. As we’ve discussed on this program, the WHO is trying to establish an Orwellian system of global control by claiming expertise over matters of public health, and then defining everything from infectious disease to gun violence to social media as public health issues.
The fact remains that the clade of mpox spreading through the Democratic Republic of Congo has a fatality rate of about 5% in adults and 10% in children, far higher than even the Great Influenza of 1918–19 that killed upwards of 20 million people. We’ll keep eyes on this.
Meanwhile, an unreported data breach has reportedly exposed sensitive information for 2.9 billion users, including names, addresses, Social Security numbers, and personal details on relatives living and dead. This only came to light through a lawsuit brought against National Public Data, which allegedly obtains information from private sources without consent. Bottom line: It’s time to change your passwords.
