U.S. Buys Millions of Monkeypox Vaccines As Mass. Man Infected

The U.S. government has ordered millions of doses of a vaccine that protects against monkeypox. The news follows the first confirmed case in the states—a man in Massachusetts—following an outbreak in the U.K.

The order amounts to a $119 million order for Jynneos vaccines, which are used for the prevention of both smallpox and monkeypox. It was announced by biotechnology company Bavarian Nordic, which makes the vaccine, on Wednesday.

The order will convert bulk vaccines, which have already been made and invoiced under previous contracts with the U.S. government, into freeze-dried versions which have an improved shelf-life.

The total government contract with Bavarian Nordic amounts to $299 million, which would provide 13 million freeze-dried doses.

It’s expected that the first doses will be manufactured by next year with further doses made in 2024 and 2025.

The order comes amid concern about monkeypox cases that have been reported in the U.K. with one case also being reported in Massachusetts.

Monkeypox is a viral disease first discovered in 1958 among colonies of monkeys that were being kept for research. The first human case was recorded in 1970.

Symptoms in humans may include fever, headache, body aches, swollen lymph nodes, chills, and exhaustion. Within a day or a few days of the fever, patients then develop a rash that spreads across the body.

The illness tends to last for two to four weeks and has been shown to cause death in as many as 10 percent of people who catch it.

On Wednesday, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) confirmed a single case of monkeypox in an adult male who had recently traveled to Canada. The health department said the case “poses no risk to the public” and that the individual is hospitalized in good condition.

It is the first case of monkeypox to be detected in the country this year. In 2021, two U.S. cases were reported.

“DPH is working closely with the CDC, relevant local boards of health, and the patient’s health care providers to identify individuals who may have been in contact with the patient while he was infectious,” the DPH said in a statement.

Elsewhere, though, there have been bigger outbreaks. This month alone, the U.K. Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has detected a total of 59 monkeypox cases in the country with more recent cases predominantly in gay or bisexual men.

Notably, the two latest cases had no travel links to another country where monkeypox is endemic, so it’s possible they were transmitted locally.

Monkeypox has not previously been described as a sexually transmitted infection, but the UKHSA has advised people, especially those who are gay or bisexual, to be alert to unusual rashes or skin marks on their body, particularly on the genitals.

The monkeypox virus is transmitted via contact with an infected person or animal.

According to the CDC, the virus can infect people by entering the body through broken skin, entering the respiratory tract, by entering mucous membranes such as the eyes, nose, or mouth, and direct contact with body fluids. Animals may infect people via bites or scratches and through bush meat preparation.

    Monkeypox was preplanned.  This notice was posted by the FDA on 6/28/2001:
    “FDA has approved for marketing the human biologic product Smallpox and Monkeypox Vaccine, Live (Modified Vaccinia Ankara)… Subsequent to this approval, the USPTO received a patent term restoration application for Smallpox and Monkeypox Vaccine, Live (U.S. Patent No. 7,335,364) from Bavarian Nordic A/S, and the USPTO requested FDA’s assistance in determining this patent’s eligibility for patent term restoration…
    In a letter dated July 14, 2020, FDA advised the USPTO that this human biological product had undergone a regulatory review period and that the approval of Smallpox and Monkeypox Vaccine, Live represented the first permitted commercial marketing or use of the product.”

      The patent # for the monkeypox vaccine is 7,335,364.
      This patent includes patent # 6440422, which has the following statement:
      “In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the foreign gene inserted in the MVA virus is a gene encoding HIV nef.”

      First, notice that they use the MVA virus as a vehicle to produce other genes.
      Second, HIV nef is known as NEF_HV1H2 and it basically crushes your immune system.  You can read about it here:
      https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P04601

      It is not necessary to kill the immune system to induce an immune response. An attenuated MVA virus is all that’s needed. The recombinant crap is a trojan horse.
      It is essential to read these patents.  Especially, before you allow them to inject you with it.  The viruses they use are merely vehicles for the production of other genes.

    Go to page 10 of the PFIZER ‘documents’ list; see third (3rd) from the bottom of that page, titled: 5.3.6 postmarketing experience.pdf
    See Page 31 (bottom right), FDA-CBER-2021-5683-0000084 of 5.3.6 document – see; seven (7) lines down – “Autoimmune blistering” and, “Autoimmune demyelinating disease.”
    You can safely download the document for yourself, its only 984KB.

      Can’t let the goyim forget about the threat of deadly “pandemics.” Just like there has to always be a threat of war and environmental catastrophe. Otherwise they might figure out they don’t need big government racketeers fleecing them all their lives. Like Carlin said, You have owners.”

    Monkeypox is primarily transmitted by anal sex. Of course, western regimes will never tell you that, because it will supposedly stigmatize homosexuals in some as yet undetermined way. But that’s the foundation of the western Empire of Lies, to make the world safe for ‘democracy’ and anal sex, via propaganda, deluded narratives, censorship, and military force.

    Hello Eric:
    There is no Monkey Pox just like there was no AIDS. viruses do not exist. It is all just another fake virus medical fear and control campaign.
