Malawi Mpox Outbreak Now Spans 128 Patients [Up From 11, In May] -- Lilongwe Sees Most Of The Cases...


This is (again) the rather odious effect -- of allowing a malign narcissist with a third grade understanding of international policy to rule the US. He sees no benefit in being a good partner in the saving of lives (with vaccines and medicines we know work) in the emerging markets. And we will all be set back a decade minimum to the Chinese and maybe even the Russians -- in the region.

Here's our prior May 2025 backgrounder, and now -- the latest, out of public health authorities there in Lilongwe, Malawi:

. . .Malawi is experiencing a steady increase in mpox infections, with the capital city, Lilongwe, recording the highest number of cases, according to the latest outbreak update from the Public Health Institute of Malawi (PHIM).

Since the first case was recorded on April 17, the total number of cases in the country has now amounted to 128, with Lilongwe having recorded 104 cases cumulatively. Only one mpox-related death has been reported so far. . . .

On Monday, the PHIM announced that two new cases had been diagnosed and confirmed at two separate clinics in Lilongwe: one involving a nine-year-old female and one involving an 11-year-old female.

All the confirmed cases have no history of travelling outside Malawi, according to the update. . . .


Now you know. Onward, disgusted at MAGA's lack of concern for our fellow humans. Do better.
