The World Health Organization has declared that monkeypox as a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) and have urged a vaccination campaign.

“PHEIC” is pronounced ‘FEIK’ or “FAKE”, but am sure that’s just a coincidence…right?

WHO director general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus made the announcement after the emergency committee decided the surge in infections had the potential to spread across Africa and even outside the continent.

RT reports: The virus has long been endemic in central Africa, mainly in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. When it first began spreading in late 2022, the WHO declared an emergency – and renamed the disease mpox, to avoid “stigma.”

“On top of outbreaks of other mpox clades in DRC and other countries in Africa, it’s clear that a coordinated international response is needed to stop these outbreaks and save lives,” WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Wednesday.

Tedros made the announcement after the WHO emergency committee decided the surge in infections had the potential to spread across Africa and possibly outside the continent.
