As officials have begun to predict record numbers of dengue fever infections by the end of the year, the chief scientist for the World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that the disease is expected to begin spreading into other, non-tropical parts of the world, including Europe, North America, and southern regions in Africa. This, the organization explained, is due to the escalating impact of global warming caused by climate change. As their traditional habitats continue to heat up, dengue-spreading mosquitos will be pushed into new areas that they have never previously inhabited.
"We need to talk much more proactively about dengue," WHO chief scientist Jeremy Farrar said. "We need to really prepare countries for how they will deal with the additional pressure that will come...in the future in many, many big cities."
Newsweek reached out to the WHO via email for comment.
Since the year 2000, global rates of dengue fever have risen approximately eight times over, driven by accelerating global climate change and its resulting spikes in temperatures. Around 4.2 million cases of the disease were reported last year, with 2023 expected to see a record-breaking number when all is said and done.
To the following I say NO: Dengue fever can be combated with a vaccine, Qdenga from Takeda Pharmaceuticals, which is currently only recommended by the WHO for children ages 6-16 in regions traditionally impacted by the disease.
Hmmm, I wonder if this is under the WHO mandatory PLAGUE JAB coming up…?
