WHO Monkeypox ’emergency’ is the decision of one man, and he has no medical training
The World Health Organization’s declaration (https://t.me/theriotimes/4173) of monkeypox as a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” (PHEIC) was made by one man, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who has no medical training, over the objection of the majority of his own expert committee of medical and scientific advisers.
Nine of the committee members thought a PHEIC should not be declared, and six supported a declaration.
“Nine and six are very, very close. Since the committee’s role is to advise, I then had to act as a tie-breaker,” Tedros said in a news conference called to announce the decision.
Perhaps the “new math” leads to the conclusion of a “tie” with a three-vote majority on one side?
Rosamund Lewis, the WHO technical lead for monkeypox, in a press conference on July 20, said: “About 98 percent of (monkeypox) cases are among men who have sex with men –and primarily those who have multiple recent anonymous or new partners.” She then said they are typical of young age and chiefly in urban areas.
