A virus found in the 1950s in monkeys. The lurid exaggerations in the corporate media presentation of Monkeypox have many similarities to Covid-19. The symptoms are remarkably similar to one of the main side effects of Covid-19 jabs.

Monekypox is an infectious disease caused by a virus that occurs in certain animals, including humans. The name is from the first detection in laboratories in the 1950s, in monkeys, in Denmark, although monkeys aren't naturally carriers of the virus. The FDA approved a vaccine in 2019. In 2021 gain-of-function research into increasing virulence was ongoing at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.[1] In 2021, a tabletop exercise was held, rehearsing the global reaction to an outbreak of monkeypox.

Virulence

As of 2022, two distinct clades were known: the Congo Basin clade, with an IFR of up to 10% and much milder West African clade, with an IFR of usually <1%.[2]

Gain of Function

In 2021, researchers from the Wuhan Institute of Virology have been actively researching genetic modification of the virus.[1]

2021 Monkeypox Tabletop Exercise

Full article: 2021 Monkeypox Tabletop Exercise

In 2021, a tabletop exercise was held, rehearsing the global reaction to an outbreak of monkeypox. The scenario portrayed a deadly global pandemic involving an unusually virrulent strain of monkeypox virus that first emerged in the fictional nation of Brinia and spread globally over 18 months. Ultimately, the exercise scenario revealed that the initial outbreak was caused by a terrorist attack using a pathogen engineered in a laboratory with inadequate biosafety and biosecurity provisions and weak oversight. By the end of the exercise, the fictional pandemic resulted in more than three billion cases and 270 million fatalities worldwide.

Occurrence

The outbreak of this virus was predicted to occur in May 2022, which did happen (in mild intensity) in real life. The planning exercise includes the WHO or a new entity to legally seize control of national health services as national governments were "poorly planning". The outbreak was also the first ever to occur outside Africa since any exercise after the first outbreak in Africa in the 1950s. No mentioning of its IFR or side effects of the Covid-19 jabs were allowed to be made in official narratives.[3]
