WHO And Worldwide Media Sound Alarm On Pneumonia Outbreak In China With Fears Of Spread To West

As colder temperatures set in around the world international media has sounded the alarm on this so-called “mystery” outbreak of respiratory illnesses and pneumonia, which began last week and has thus prompted the World Health Organization (WHO) to respond to the outbreak, and, apparently, has already spread to parts of Europe.

On top of a supposed re-flourishing of Covid-19, RSV, and other respiratory infections, and this new spread pneumonia, the WHO issued a statement on November 22nd; where they once again recommended Covid protocols, such as isolation, social distancing, masking, and vaccination. In a press release the WHO wrote:

WHO has made an official request to China for detailed information on an increase in respiratory illnesses and reported clusters of pneumonia in children.  

At a press conference on 13 November 2023, Chinese authorities from the National Health Commission reported an increase in incidence of respiratory diseases in China. Chinese authorities attributed this increase to the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions and the circulation of known pathogens such as influenza, mycoplasma pneumoniae (a common bacterial infection which typically affects younger children), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19). Authorities stressed the need for enhanced disease surveillance in healthcare facilities and community settings, as well as strengthening the capacity of the health system to manage patients.   

On 21 November, media and ProMED reported clusters of undiagnosed pneumonia in children in northern China. It is unclear if these are associated with the overall increase in respiratory infections previously reported by Chinese authorities, or separate events. 

On 22 November, WHO requested additional epidemiologic and clinical information, as well as laboratory results from these reported clusters among children, through the International Health Regulations mechanism. We have also requested further information about recent trends in the circulation of known pathogens including influenza, SARS-CoV-2, RSV and mycoplasma pneumoniae, and the current burden on health care systems. WHO is also in contact with clinicians and scientists through our existing technical partnerships and networks in China.  

Since mid-October, northern China has reported an increase in influenza-like illness compared to the same period in the previous three years. China has systems in place to capture information on trends in influenza, influenza-like illnesses, RSV and SARS-CoV-2, and reports to platforms such as the Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System.   

While WHO seeks this additional information, we recommend that people in China follow measures to reduce the risk of respiratory illness, which include recommended vaccination; keeping distance from people who are ill; staying home when ill; getting tested and medical care as needed; wearing masks as appropriate; ensuring good ventilation; and regular hand-washing.

A flood of pictures coming out of China have depicted long snaking lines of masked Chinese adults and children, waited to receive testing and treatment.

Daily Mail wrote a shock post yesterday about the purported outbreak, but reported that apparently these scenes are not quite on the level as first reported back in 2019. The outlet wrote:

---

Beijing insists a new virus is not to blame for scenes of chaos, which have prompted officials to encourage residents to don coverings, socially distance and stay home if unwell.

Instead, health chiefs have pinned the rise on flu and other routine bugs, with China now battling its first full winter without a Covid-induced lockdown.

Local media has reported health facilities as being ‘overwhelmed with sick children’.

However, China’s health ministry claims it can cope with the spike in sickness, which sparked global panic last week when news of the situation emerged.

Both Covid and another pandemic virus called SARS were first reported as unusual types of pneumonia.

Maria Van Kerkhove, acting director of the WHO’s department of epidemic and pandemic preparedness and prevention, also echoed comments from China that the increase appeared to be driven by children contracting pathogens that they hadn’t encountered due to two years of Covid restrictions.

The waves that they´re seeing now, the peak is not as high as what they saw in 2018-2019. This is not an indication of a novel pathogen. This is expected. This is what most countries dealt with a year or two ago.

She said

Both China and the WHO have been accused of a lack of transparency in their initial reports on the Covid pandemic.

NTD highlighted some of the footage and statements coming out of China, beginning one broadcast by warning, “a cluster of pneumonia cases with a haunting familiarity to 2019 pandemic.”

Many other mainstream outlets have reported on this outbreak, invoking the fears of 2019.

Reportedly, there are now cases of children pneumonia cited in The Netherlands.

The Messenger reported:

The Netherlands is experiencing a bizarre uptick in pneumonia cases among children, marking the second country to report an outbreak of this type this week.

The Netherlands Institute for Health Services Research (NIVEL), a research institute in Utrecht, around 25 miles south of Amsterdam, reports that 80 of every 100,000 children between ages 5 and 14 came down with pneumonia last week.

This is the largest outbreak of pneumonia NIVEL has recorded in recent years. At the peak of the 2022 flu season, when pneumonia cases were most common, there were 60 recorded cases for every 100,000 children in the age group.

A news outlet in the Netherlands said neither NIVEL nor the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment, the Dutch equivalent of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), could give an explanation as to why pneumonia cases were increasing.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

2 Timothy 1:7

Oh, another outbreak you say? Does it look a little something like this:

Just in time for the holiday and FLU season (you know, that thing that we have annually that got canceled for nearly 3 years solid, that we’re not allowed to talk about), the media had to scare some more people again, to once against test the waters to see what the masses’ reaction will be.

The media tested the people’s reaction to more Covid nonsense a few months ago, if you remember, and I made fun of it and laughed it off from the moment both mainstream and alt media was out there peddling lies; such as Alex Jones claiming that he had the inside scoop on new forcible lockdowns in short order, which never happened (but don’t call him out, that might make his fan club mad). Hardly no one got this latest round of the Covid death shot. People are fed up with the nonsense, even the hardcore liberals and coronazis.

Of course, and God forbid should you mention this, but we know people are continuing to kick the can worldwide and fall very ill from these Covid death shots. But don’t talk about what we can all see with our eyes.

Another shamdemic is coming, make no mistake about it, and that one will actually have some mass death involved; and I seriously doubt that the narrative has been sprung just yet.
