From Public Health Emergency to Potential Pandemic

On May 5, 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared that the global emergency due to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, causing the COVID-19 pandemic, was no longer a public health emergency. However, is there any chance that the situation could worsen in the coming year, returning to a state of extreme public health concern?

Global Immunity and Future Risks

As of June 2023, a significant portion of the world’s population has developed antibodies and T-cells sensitized to SARS-CoV-2, which offers some level of protection against the virus. Nevertheless, the threat of future pandemics still looms, as there are many other viruses that could potentially spillover and cause havoc. These viruses are just a few nucleotides away from infecting human populations and causing widespread death and suffering.

Current Data and Public Health Concerns

The excess death rate among working-age Americans has not yet dropped, indicating ongoing public health concern. It has been suggested that the COVID-19 vaccines might be a significant factor in the high death rates observed. A 10 excess death rate over a period of 200 years is common, but a 40 excess death rate is unprecedented. Despite this, the mainstream media tends to report minor events like measles outbreaks rather than focusing on the scale and impact of the pandemic.

The Role of Vaccines in Public Health

The data shows that there are twice as many COVID-19 deaths since the rollout of the vaccines, leading to the conclusion that the vaccines themselves are contributing to the ongoing pandemic. It is vital to question the narrative and consider that the vaccines might be the real cause of the increased mortality rates. Wake up and acknowledge the potential dangers associated with the vaccine rollout.

Future Scenarios and Ethical Considerations

It is possible that a more transmissible and more deadly variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus could emerge, overtaking the current Omicron variant. Viral evolution can lead to strains that are less deadly but more contagious. However, the current strains like Omicron have already demonstrated high transmissibility without the pressure of evolutionary defenses. Therefore, it is important to stay vigilant and prepared for potential future outbreaks.

Conclusion and Call to Action

While the immediate threat may have subsided, the possibility of a resurgence or a new variant remains. Governments and public health agencies must continue to monitor the situation and prepare for potential future pandemics. The ethical considerations around the use of vaccines and their impact on public health should be carefully evaluated.

Stay informed and keep a watchful eye on the developments in the fight against infectious diseases. Together, we can work towards a safer and healthier future.
