Just in Time for PHEIC Emergency, Suddenly MPox Found in Philippines

by Scott Creighton

Check this out.

'The Philippines has reported a new case of the mpox virus, the first in the country since December.'

'The latest case was detected by heightened government surveillance...' (they were LOOKING for it)

“The mpox virus is among us. This is a warning to everybody,” Health Secretary Teddy Herbosa...'

“He did not travel [abroad]. That means the virus is already here in the Philippines,”  al Jazeera Aug 19 2024

This is only the second case outside of Africa, the first being an aid worker in Sweden I believe. Interestingly, the Philippines agreed to the Plandemic Treaty a year ago...

' On behalf of the Group for Equity, the Philippines called on all World Health Organization (WHO) member-states to demonstrate political will and commitment to achieve equity through the Pandemic Treaty at the resumed 5th Meeting and Drafting Group of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Body (INB)...' PhilStar June 2023

The announcement of this sudden case of MKay virus was made by Health Secretary Teddy Herbosa who serves under one Bongbong Marcos... yeah, child of that other Marcos from the Philippines. 

Here is some background on Teddy:

'The Alliance of Health Workers meanwhile opposed his appointment on part of his support for privatization of government hospitals during his tenure as undersecretary...' 

'he backed... the promotion of public-private partnerships in the health sector of the Philippines'

' finished his post-graduate studies at the Sackler Faculty of Medicine of the Tel Aviv University in Israel'

'He would allege that the community pantries initiative which was launched as a response to the pandemic to be linked to the Communist rebellion.'

and

'Herbosa was a special adviser to the National Task Force Against COVID-19,..' his Wiki page

So the guy who announced this development is a neoliberal who helped crackdown on the people of the Philippines back in the Covid days. Got it.

Here is something else that is interesting:

Sure seems odd all the cases of MPox seem to pop up somewhere near a Deep VZN research facility that was doing Gain of Function work for USAID.

Does USAID have programs in the Philippines and DRC? I bet they do.

Interesting, right?
