The World Health Organisation (WHO) have been caught editing out references to airborne transmission of Monkeypox from documents on their website.

This comes just days after the CDC quietly edited their website to remove a recommendation to use a facemask to prevent Monkeypox transmission.

This original paragraph from a WHO document on airborne disease transmission has recently been edited: 

It now reads:

Original file:

Amended file:

You’ll notice that Smallpox, a virus related to Monkeypox, has also been edited out from the original version of the above document, even though the WHO admit that Smallpox is transmitted via aerosols in another page on their website:

“Smallpox is transmitted from person to person by infected aerosols and air droplets spread in face-to-face contact with an infected person. The disease can also be transmitted by contaminated clothes and bedding, though the risk of infection from this source is much lower.”

World Health Organisation: Smallpox

WHO controls the past controls the future: WHO controls the present controls the past.

Bravo! That must be a record. @WHO changed this document👇 less than 24 hours after I tweeted about it. Monkeypox is not mentioned anymore as an example of an airborne pathogen.

But more than 24 MONTHS after their “COVID-19 is NOT airborne” tweet, it’s still there unchanged… https://t.co/OfjIjkxugL
