Today is first day of the World Health Organization’s 79th annual World Health Assembly, where delegates come together to set policies and priorities for global health.
Essentially, it’s a week-long exercise in saying, as loud and long possible, “We’re really important.”
And thank goodness it came along when it did, because…wow.
The hantavirus outbreak is tearing through the world at the unstoppably terrifying rate of five whole deaths every two months.
That’s about 30 deaths in a year or about 0.25% of the number of people who’ll died from falling down stairs.
In Africa, the Ebola virus went from zero to “emergency” in no time at all, and the African CDC had no choice but to go into panic mode.
A new strain of Ebola virus has been declared an international public health emergency by the World Health Organisation.
More than 300 suspected cases have been identified – with at least 80 deaths reported. The outbreak is mostly confined to the Democratic Republic of the… pic.twitter.com/LIP0LG6MtD

These twin outbreaks, combined with a “growing anti-vaccine movement”, and funding cuts to research show the world is “not ready for the next pandemic”, according to Al Jazeera.
And – of course – climate change might mean more hantavirus outbreaks could happen!
And “Experts” are now saying the world is becoming more vulnerable to these infectious disease outbreaks.
Be afraid – be very afraid!
And, oh yes – with all this chaos out there…maybe this would be a good time to finally start ratifying that Pandemic Treaty, what do you think guys?
It’s sort of like last year, when the weeks leading up the 78th Assembly saw the world afflicted with fresh rushes of monkeypox cases, along with outbreaks of measles, cholera, anthrax and polio.
Which may or may not have helped them secure a 30% budget increase for 2026, not to mention hundreds of millions of dollars in extra funding pledges.
You have to say, if nothing else, “panic mode” is going to secure a lot of bucks.
Cash the WHO might “need”, given the United States officially pulled out of the organization back in January.
This plays into the multipolarity narrative.
On the one side, you’ll have the “sensible” WHO countries, working together and being nice and preventing diseases. Then, on the other, you’ll have the silly backwards MAGA US, being individual and selfish and backwards.
OR
On the one side, you’ll have the tyrannical collectivist WHO, enforcing conformity and stifling competition and stepping on freedoms. Then, on the other, you’ll have the rugged, lone-wolf US taking care of business.
Your side determines your view. Pick one. It won’t make much difference in the end.
The policies each employs will be almost identical.
Speaking of policies, more “experts” (different ones from before) are calling on the WHO to formally declare climate change a “public health emergency of international concern” (Pheic) and…
trigger coordinated international response that could help avoid millions dying
And check out this art installation/advertising campaign outside the Assembly…
The “Lost Screen Memorial”, an installation of giant illuminated smartphones representing 50 children who tragically lost their lives following harm linked to social media, is displayed at Place des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, ahead of the 79th World Health Assembly

Fifty (totally real and not at all potentially made up) lives lost “following harm linked to social media”. That’s terrible.
I guess age verification, smartphone bans and digital ID are all public health policies too.
What an interesting ten days we’re in for.

Scamdemic 2.0 coming soon? Of course, accompanied by the real pandemic of puppet politicians holding press conferences. Maybe Hantavirus, Ebola, and Covid will coalesce and morph into trivalent super virus. Will new outbreak be blamed on Strait of Hormuz closure? Will Dr. Fausti, the demonic dwarf come out of hiding and spearhead the new campaign or sit this one out? Stay tuned
LOL..
You have to chuckle at the overt symbolism these mental institutions employ…the serpent coiled around the cabbalistic sceptre..that spans the whirled…
it’s all serious stuff, because you may get ill and because of this, you must relinquish your freedoms from the impositions of sniveling bureaucrats that sherpa for big corp..
you may get a coff or an african may feel poorly after eating some bushmeat..for this very reason the entire british isles must be imprisoned and injected with sterilizing cancer causing agents that reduce your limited intellects even further..
it’s all perfectly rational ..and safe and effective so don’t object or we’ll have to inter you..one way or the other..
Somebody said the recent hantavirus panic failed because so many people realised after the fact that Covid really was a scam and not just some nutty conspiracy theory as many first believed.
Another good piece from Knightly. Anyone and everyone on that dais should be whipped raw then beaten to death.
“‘experts’ (different ones from before) are calling on the WHO to formally declare climate change a “public health emergency of international concern”.. Ahh the “experts”, deserving of having their teeth ripped out with pliers, their tongues nailed to tree stumps, their hair set on fire, and their ribs and kneecaps shattered with tire irons while getting their assholes jack-hammered with a mechanical giant rubber fist.
UN hardly more than a glorified $anctuary city for foreign and domestic $hakedown artists. Starring Red Ted Ghebreyesus and a cast of thousands / (cia).
