A child in Long Beach has contracted monkeypox, health officials said hours after Los Angeles County leaders proclaimed a local emergency amid the spreading illness.

The declaration was handed down to "bolster the state's vaccination efforts."

The U.S. had 5,811 monkeypox cases as of Monday, according to the CDC.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) declared monkeypox a public health emergency on Monday following Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) declaring a state of emergency last week, as the mayor claimed the outbreak “continues to grow” in the city.

Vera Sharav was only 3 years old when her world collapsed.

One former general called the WHO leader a "Marxist from Ethiopia, totally supported by the Chinese Communist Party."

A WHO monkeypox expert said at least 95% of monkeypox cases spread from sexually active homosexuals.

The infection is considered less deadly than COVID.

The Director of the World Health Organization said the best way to stop the ongoing spread of the monkeypox disease is for "men who have sex with men" to limit sexual partners.

The World Health Organization (WHO), an unelected health agency that was given sweeping censorship powers during the COVID-19 pandemic, has called for all social media platforms to work with it to “prevent and counter” monkeypox “misinformation” and “disinformation.”
