SIGA isn't a biotech meme though, they have an existing BARDA contract, FDA approval for small pox and ongoing clinical trials for monkepox

Tedros is giving a press conference on covid and monkepox right now

Please pump my SIGA bags Tedros

There's a concerted effort to downplay monkepox, MOG threads on pol have been slid hard in recent weeks. The outbreak is exponentially worse yet it's receiving less attention than in May, June, July

You're delusional if you think all pediatric cases are the result of child rape. It's possible but highly unlikely. The more reasonable explanation is that monkepox is a GOF bioweapon that survives and transmits on surfaces
The gay sex meme is just a psyop, intended to instill complacency in non homos while the virus spreads unchecked in communities
Ultimately, very bullish for SIGA

WHO says it's still not a PHEIC

>While a few Members expressed differing views, the committee resolved by consensus to advise the WHO Director-General that at this stage the outbreak should be determined to not constitute a PHEIC.
>However, the Committee unanimously acknowledged the emergency nature of the event and that controlling the further spread of outbreak requires intense response efforts. The Committee advised that the event should be closely monitored and reviewed after a few weeks, once more information about the current unknowns becomes available, to determine if significant changes have occurred that may warrant a reconsideration of their advice.
>The Committee considered that the occurrence of one or more of the following should prompt a re-assessment of the event: evidence of an increase in the rate of growth of cases reported in the next 21 days, both among and beyond the population groups currently affected; occurrence of cases among sex workers; evidence of significant spread to and within additional countries, or significant increases in number of cases and spread in endemic countries; increase in number of cases in vulnerable groups, such as immunosuppressed individuals, including with poorly controlled HIV infection, pregnant women, and children; evidence of increased severity in reported cases (i.e. increased morbidity or mortality and rates of hospitalization; evidence of reverse spillover to the animal population; evidence of significant change in viral genome associated with phenotypic changes, leading to enhanced transmissibility, virulence or properties of immune escape, or resistance to antivirals, and reduced impact of countermeasures; evidence of cluster of cases associated with clades of greater virulence detected in new countries outside West and Central African countries.
