WHO launches plan to stanch mpox transmission and says the virus can be stopped
Too bad the WHO didn't already have a plan that worked; otherwise the virus would have been stopped already.

This is worse than Covid ,it can be spread like Covid through the air,but you have pustules sores all over your body,that disfigured your face for life

Some countries (actually a majority of the planet) have laws banning the type of close contact that tends to spread Mpox.

Banthu,this can be spread by being in close contact with a person with the virus, by being in the room ,touching objects that are infected,sex is not the only way it spreads

WHO needs $135 million to deal with the Mpox. Needs donor countries. 70% of the victims are children.

It is deeply irrational to pretend the global authority could have a time machine (and infinite resources) to deal with any an all possible threats to public health. The simple fact that the WHO is the one doing the most against this emergency should be enough to disprove this personal opinion based on magical thinking as invalid.
That is false, seeing how the vast majority of the cases and deaths come from children this would mean countries ban close personal contact between family members, which is not the case.

It's a pustular rash, common in both ivermectin poisoning and v a x injury. The "outbreaks" cover the cause of the problem.
virusrex
That is both false and nonsensical, pustular rash is not a described side effect for neither vaccines nor ivermectin treatment (of parasitosis). And it makes absolutely no sense thinking about an impossibly elaborate conspiracy to explain something that has a clear cause already identified.

Really? They ban mothers from holding their children?
Mr Kipling
Put a travel ban on DRC , Burundi and neighboring countries and keep it in Africa. First world countries should be sending vaccines and medical aid.

Be sensible with your lifestyle choices and avoid these countries at this time.

The first case of Mpox in Sweden.

Great example!

Because travel bans worked so well in the past?

It didn't stop Covid from engulfing the globe. However, this time we have a vaccine for this available. Even better since the USA has a responsible government and is in the WHO again, they too can assist in checking the spread of mpox just like they did Ebola during the previous decade.

Of an argument? of course, this helps demonstrating why your personal claim about the supposed failure you tried to misrepresent in your comment.
Not having any argument against the text you quote does the same, prove your claim was not something of value from the very beginning.
