W.H.O. & Updates

As of August 9, 2024 the WHO has declared Mpox as an international health emergency. Over 14,000 have contracted the disease with over 400 deaths. This Mpox is a new strain and therefore the current Mpox vaccines do not work for this strain.

Therefore the WHO has asked the international scene to provide the best option to prevent it from spreading and for providing protection and invites mpox vaccine manufacturers to submit dossiers for emergency evaluation also on August 9, 2024.

The COVID-19 pandemic according to the World Health Organization (WHO) is no longer an emergency. Still, over 2.3 billion people have NOT received a single vaccine. As of August 20, 2024, while the number of deaths has decreased from the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, in the USA alone, close to 1,000,000 cases of infections per day of are being reported due to the clade variant JN.1. Now there is a new clade variant lineage KP.2, depending on the country you live in. A number of these infections will lead to Long Covid.

According to those countries who have reported the cases of infections to WHO (USA not in the WHO list) in the last 28 days over 3,285 have died and over 201,811 have been sickened globally from COVID -19. Millions are still suffering with Long Term COVID or Long Covid. Don't let the numbers fool you. In the early part of the initial pandemic when rest homes had <20 people being infected or dying, how did we react? We were wondering, what's next?

WHO estimates close to 13-16 Million have died from COVID-19 back in May 2022. Omicron variants are on the rise again with over 1,000 sub-clades. The JN.1 monovalent vaccines manufactured by Pfizer and Moderna will be ready for September 2024.

This acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic had threatened the lives of approximately 144 million people during the pandemic with Post COVID-19,  Long Covid, Long Haul Covid or even Long Term Covid. Symptoms has injured as many as 22 million who have 12 months of persistent health problems due to COVID-19's attacks on multiple body organs such as the heart, lungs, and the central nervous system.

By March 1, 2024 a WHO sponsored webinar will have more information and updates regarding the identification, diagnose, and treatments of Long Covid.

Yes. Numerous steps have already begun with WHO and public and private organizations including an international surveillance network.

Simple steps include hand washing and other hygienic practices such as mask wearing in large groups depending on where one might live. Specifically the elderly and those with weakened immune systems (for whatever reasons), should take precautions as well.

Of course technology can help, but the pandemic revealed long term obstacles and even pitfalls. While injectable vaccines are part of the solution, so is trust. Nasal and oral vaccines can prevent transmission and transferring the disease and typically have a safer profile than injectable vaccines. Be sure to check with your health care giver or physician for any treatments before taking any forms of medication or treatments.

However, there are other surmountable pitfalls and obstacles which need to be overcome and are explained in Episode 1 of our YouTube video.

Yes, according to WHO and global scientists. Is it Mpox or H5N1 or something else? Only time will tell. With proper interventions such as a superior mucosal vaccine that prevents infections in the first place and at the same time preventing transmission as well as a mucosal vaccine that also works as a treatment.

WHO are determining the risks. Due to an April 1, 2024 where 1 case was reported by the USA's CDC (See link below) H5N1 has been around since 2009. However it is has transferred to most animal species in the wild, and transferred to chicken and dairy farms and people. Most people have survived its infection, but the H5N1 here has been identified here is highly pathogenic or deadly. It could be called an epidemic among animal species.

However on May 9, 2024 the USDA Announced a $824 Million in New Funding to Protect Livestock Health to Launch a Voluntary H5N1 Dairy Herd Status Pilot Program because the risk remains low for the spread of human to human of the influenza virus strain of H5N1 some reported cases are found globally among humans. As we are well aware what happened with SARS-CoV-2 or Covid transmission can rapidly grow. This is why scientists are almost daily keeping an eye on its movement.

This virus is highly contagious. In the last few years it has spread from most birds including millions of chicken farms globally as well as over 100 wild bird species, and over ten animals species such as sea lions, mink, foxes, and just in 2023 has spread to house cats in Europe. This is under close scrutiny by WHO and member states.

Still however other threats such as filioviruses like Ebola, Ebola's Marburg Ebola strain, SARS and Niph are potential threats according to the WHO.
