politicians and the media have been speaking more and more
of a
coming monkeypox "epidemic"... seem to be in the process of being reinstalled at record speed. The story begins by sewing fear in the population, and ends with a conclusion that has been
prepared
in advance... billions of doses of vaccines (patented of course) as a matter of urgency. It is urgent and crucial that as many of us as possible first awaken intellectually and then find the courage to publicly announce their refusal to consent.
It seems likely that most people today understand that the reality
was a great deal more complicated than that, that politicians
overplayed - or rather, manipulated - this whole affair; and that,
meanwhile, the vast majority of the media betrayed their mission to
provide trustworthy information to the population, becoming instead
messengers to transmit and amplify massive political and industrial
propaganda.
Now it seems this was a mistake:
And they are using exactly the same methods, born of the good old techniques of commercial marketing.
After the Covid affair, the monkeypox business is on the march.
On the afternoon of August 14, the Director-General of the World Health Organization (Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus) declared a public health emergency of international concern because of the spread of monkeypox.
This followed the figures on the growth of this disease in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the cases found in neighbouring countries (Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda).
Getting into his stride, he also announced a,
Just 48 hours later, in France, state-financed France Inter radio interviewed Brigitte Autra, president of the Committee for Monitoring and Anticipating Sanitary Risks, a government committee which in August 2022 succeeded the Covid-19 Scientific Committee directed by Jean-François Delfraissy.
Mrs. Autran is a well-known vaccine researcher with direct links to the pharmaceutical industry, as the independent magazine Basta Mag reported in 2015.
So that Thursday August 17, France Inter invited her on its morning show to explain to the French that the situation was extremely serious.
She then made clear that the circus was already ready:
She went on to say that the MVA vaccine, manufactured by the Danish company Bavarian Nordic,
This vaccine has existed for a number of years, but Mrs. Autran claimed that there were,
...a claim that seems to owe as much to astrology as to virology when we consider that this is a virus that is constantly mutating.
The (inevitable) conclusion was not long in coming:
In that same broadcast, two familiar figures from the Covid media circus were also interviewed, Karine Lescombe and Xavier Lescure, just to emphasize the consequences of what Autran had said.
To the question,
...Lescure answered,
From here it's easy to deduce that these are the people who will be offered priority vaccination, especially since these are the brave "experts" who also decided during Covid to knock down one of the final clinical and ethical barriers which endured in this field:
Autran finished her interview by saying that, even if it were ever necessary to consider a general vaccination campaign (everyone having now understood that, in fact, people are already fantasising about this), there's no need to panic:
As it happens, on the same day the Danish company announced a drastic increase in its production, as well as the deposit of a request at the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to approve their product for adolescents (12-17 years old).
And then, shocking news: the company's share price soared on the stock market.
The media-political phase is (provisionally) brought to an end by Gabriel Attal (our prime minister alleged to be "resigning"), on Tuesday August 20, with this announcement on X (formerly known as Twitter):
All that's left for the (reputedly "independent") French Higher Health Authority to do is to comply nicely (as it did throughout the Covid "crisis") and that'll be that.
Then the politicians and all of their servants (beginning with the TV doctors and the journalists who obsequiously interview them) will once again be able to claim to speak "in the tame of science" whilst blocking all critical debate.
Because that's where we are intellectually in France, trapped in the oh-so-Manichean and reassuring opposition between,
A Strategy of Fear
This story of the return of monkeypox, which is being installed in the public sphere, presents a familiar structure.
It was sketched out back in 2009-2010 during the swine flu outbreak, considered and refined on numerous occasions over the following two decades, and finally implemented on a global scale in 2020-2022 (as discussed in my book, La Doxa du Covid).
The related business plan has two major elements, drawn from the most classic portfolio of commercial strategy:
To create demand in healthcare, first of all it's important to create fear.
This fear is distilled on a permanent basis across the media, with the bludgeoning information being so incessant that many of us no longer even notice.
This began as a drip-feed even before the summer only to accelerate massively as soon as the Olympic Games came to an end.
As a sort of anthology, here are some French media headlines from the past two weeks:
The announcement of the "imminent" arrival of a pandemic disaster (or other fundamentally anxiety-provoking health issues) is therefore the starting point.
Apart from through blood contact, monkeypox is essentially transmitted through contact with skin lesions or with the mucus of infected people (mouth, genitals and anus).
It's clear that those people at risk are above all those who have unprotected sex with strangers, and thereby also those of their close friends and family with whom they enter into daily contacts.
As a result,
This makes it clear that the risk of a monkeypox epidemic is far lower than that of SARS-CoV-2, which was doubly invisible as a respiratory virus which generated asymptomatic carriers.
Nonetheless, the "friends" of the pharmaceutical industry are already out in action to try on the contrary to generate panic.
On social media, the self-styled "no fake med" influencers tell us nevertheless that the epidemic can be transmitted by air (see for instance here and here).
The very media-savvy infectious disease expert Karine Lacombe also talked about it on France Inter. Fear not, good people, and run to the chemist's and buy whole bags of masks...
After this beginning, the other strategy to generate fear consists in exaggerating the seriousness of the illness.
During these last days the press has been reporting that the WHO estimates the mortality rate of the new monkeypox virus to be "on average 3.6%".
However this figure is based on the figures from Congo alone...!
However, if we take a step back, on August 2 the WHO website published "key figures" showing that,
The latest variant (considered to be more dangerous) has been identified in 934 cases, causing 4 deaths (giving a mortality rate of 0.4%).
As for the monkeypox variant which has been circulating in Europe for the past two years, Assurance Maladie reports 4,967 cases in France between May and December 2022, and 0 deaths...
So even if the new monkeypox variant is more virulent than its predecessor,
But all we are missing is a simple little mathematical model à la Neil Ferguson (idiot's guide to epidemiology) predicting millions of deaths ahead, and the Covid scenario will be ready to roll out for a repeat.
By way of comparison,
Hardly anyone talks about it.
In the same way, we might ask,
A society for the future?
History is speeding up. The business plan and marketing of these good intentions are well embedded.
The WHO, once spotless, has for years been trying to lay down the law over global health policies, strengthened by its new financial basis in "public-private partnerships", of which the main operator is the famous "pseudophilanthro-capitalist" Bill Gates.
Gates operates directly through his Foundation, which is investing massively in GMO crops for food and in vaccines for health, and also indirectly through financing a whole suite of organizations which also contribute to the WHO's budget, the most important being GAVI (Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization), recently renamed The Vaccine Alliance).
These groups have elaborated a new doctrine, "One Health", the heart of which is as simple as the sweetest thought of a child: vaccinate the whole world to eradicate all illnesses.
In institutional language, this provides,
This is curiously similar to the project of Gates himself, clearly outlined on his blog in April 2022:
Father Christmas is not far off, probably fuming that his spotlight has been stolen.
To conclude: it's crucial that as large a number as possible of people wake up intellectually, and find the courage to say loudly and clearly at least two things.
Without a struggle, this appears to lead inexorably to this elite coercing people to accept - under the pretext of a "health emergency" - the loss of their rights and fundamental liberties which have only been won with enormous struggles since the end of the 18th century.
Just as happened with the lockdowns during the Covid "crisis"...
