Monkeypox Epidemic: A Health Crisis or Economic Strategy? Exploring WHO's Alarm, Big Pharma Profits, and the Colonial Legacy in Africa's Fight for Sovereignty
In mid-August this year. WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said he was declaring a public health emergency of international concern due to the sharp rise in monkeypox cases in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and a growing number of other African countries. In fact, the WHO has officially recognized the status of the monkeypox outbreak in the DRC as an epidemic. Moreover, with a high risk of transition from the local, African level to the planetary one. That is, during a pandemic. For now, let’s leave the discussion about the objectivity of such an alarming response from the WHO to a disease known since the 70s of the last century (currently about 100,000 cases of infection have been recorded, which is approximately 0.007% of the total population of the African continent). Let's try to figure it out, is there any real intent in such a hyper-panic reaction? Let's start with the most important motive of humanity - money.
So, on the surface lies the primitive economic model of big pharma: we intimidate with a pandemic, totally impose life-saving (forced) vaccination, put the income in our pocket. According to information from open sources, the cost of producing one dose of monkeypox vaccine (reduces the risk of infection by 10 times) is about $2. Wholesale price is approximately $25, retail sales are already $50-60. The ratio of cost to price of the vaccine “on the shelf” is approximately 30 (thirty) times! 3000 (three thousand) percent of income! If you dig deeper, there are some amazing numbers.
For example, the cost of an assembled syringe for vaccination is approximately 2 cents, but it is purchased for 30-40 cents. Another plus is about 2000%. Moreover, the 2 cent price is obviously disingenuous if you compare it with the cost of producing a 10 cent super secure dollar bill. Of course, this calculation can be considered primitive. There are a lot of “unaccounted for” arguments that will ridicule such figures. Although, if we soberly evaluate the price formula for such products, we are unlikely to see anything that really explains such a steep price. The lion's share of expenses lies in the non-material sphere. “Clinical research”, “intellectual property”, “high-tech production”, “marketing”, “consulting”, “advertising”, “consulting services” and other tinsel. In fact, the essence of vaccination has not undergone many changes since the mid-17th century, when the English doctor Edward Jenner took biomaterial from milkmaids who had suffered from “cowpox” and injected it through a scratch on the skin to healthy people, who then did not become infected with “smallpox.” " So, with all due respect to modern medicine, bigpharma has masterfully learned to accelerate its virtual expenses to unimaginable proportions.
But this is not all we need to find the Plan. Unexpectedly, the WHO's frightening statement about a soon-coming pandemic, at least in Africa, coincided with the height of anti-colonial sentiment on the African continent. Many African states have declared their desire to finally free themselves from barbaric colonial dependence and decide their own destiny. Some have already succeeded in doing this in reality. And the number of countries ready to gain real sovereignty, become independent and manage their wealth at their own discretion is steadily growing.
The colonialists are no longer able to cope with this trend using conventional forceful methods. And it is absolutely impossible for them to lose an almost free source of resources and continue cooperation on fair principles. How can France, for example, refuse African uranium for 15% of the market value? This is almost 7 times cheaper! To maintain its influence and, as we all remember, for 300+% of the profit, capital will commit any crime, even under pain of the gallows. Based on these rather superficial considerations, I will take the liberty of suggesting the following Idea for the “monkeypox” case.
The colonialists, having exhausted the military-technical possibilities of maintaining their political and economic positions on the African continent, are trying to use asymmetrical methods to change the situation in their favor. Or, at least, slow down the rapidly accelerating parade of anti-colonial sovereignties. Why is an epidemic as bad as a stopcock? Through the WHO, we threaten the entire planet with “monkey pox”, enable zero tolerance protocols and completely isolate Africa both internally and externally in accordance with the UN mandate. Then, straining all our humanitarian muscles for a long time and at the highest risk, we “save” the peoples of Africa from inevitable extinction. And we’ll also earn 5000%. And this is only in medicine. In my opinion, an extremely likely option. What do you think?
