Hot new conspiracy theory circulating in China: The U.S. leaked the Monkeypox
Hotair ^ | 05/23/2022 | AllahPundit

All part of our master plan.

Step one: Start a monkeypox outbreak
Step two: ??????
Step three: World domination

Some Chinese have spent the past two years sky high on copium, struggling to deal with their government’s negligence in unleashing a plague upon the world by looking abroad for villains instead. Naturally they settled on the United States, with Fort Detrick reportedly having become a “household name” in China thanks to propaganda alleging that the coronavirus was secretly developed at that base. Forced to choose between believing that their own country, which saw SARS 1.0 arise in the wild, might also be the genesis of SARS 2.0 and believing that the diabolical U.S. government somehow engineered SARS 2.0 and unleashed it in China surreptitiously, many Chinese naturally prefer door number two.

Some aren’t waiting around for monkeypox to reach pandemic proportions before blaming America for this one either. The new theory involves a small coincidence and industrial-grade wishcasting:

The social media speculation is centered around a 2021 report on biosecurity preparedness planning by a US non-government organisation, known as the Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI).

The report describes a hypothetical scenario for an outbreak of monkeypox which has been taken out of context by Chinese social media users to suggest the US knew of the pandemic beforehand…

Weibo influencer Shu Chang, who has 6.41 million followers, said the report constituted ‘a plan by the US to leak bioengineered monkeypox virus’.

Many Weibo users seemed to agree with her, with more than 7,500 users liking the post, according to Bloomberg.

The monkeypox outbreak in the NTI scenario begins with terrorists attacking a lab where monkeypox has been genetically engineered to become more contagious. (I.e. to become smallpox, essentially.) Result: Three billion global infections and 270 million deaths. The point of the report is to model different containment protocols in the wake of COVID and imagine how countries that implemented them would do in limiting infections. But because the authors happened to pick monkeypox as their hypothetical bioweapon instead of some other virus like Ebola, Chinese social media will dine out for weeks.

Needless to say, absent a major mutation while it’s circulating, the actual monkeypox that’s spreading now shouldn’t infect tons of people. Although you’d be forgiven for assuming that it might if you’ve been following the news casually, given the way certain media outlets have hyped the outbreak:

The White House is keeping things in perspective, with one natsec official there telling NPR that the threat to the general public is low. The threat to gay and bisexual men is somewhat higher, the CDC warned today, which is unsurprising if you read yesterday’s post. The sensational speculative theory for why there’s suddenly a global outbreak of monkeypox is that the virus has evolved in a meaningful way to make it more transmissible among people. The less exciting but more probable theory is that the virus is a bit more transmissible inherently than scientists had known, having seen it previously only in less populous areas in Africa. Someone who was infected brought it into a crowded western venue, giving the virus an unusual number of opportunities to spread, and it did spread. And now here we are.

Dr. David Heymann, who formerly headed WHO’s emergencies department, told The Associated Press that the leading theory to explain the spread of the disease was sexual transmission at raves held in Spain and Belgium. Monkeypox has not previously triggered widespread outbreaks beyond Africa, where it is endemic in animals…

Heymann, who is also a professor of infectious diseases at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said the monkeypox outbreak was likely a random event that might be traceable to a single infection.

“It’s very possible there was somebody who got infected, developed lesions on the genitals, hands or somewhere else, and then spread it to others when there was sexual or close, physical contact,” Heymann hypothesized. “And then there were these international events that seeded the outbreak around the world, into the U.S. and other European countries.”

In some patients the telltale rash that follows infection has appeared before the fever and achiness has begun, and anyone with a rash is probably infectious. Maybe that’s how the outbreak began, with Patient Zero feeling fine apart from an unexplained blister or two and heading out to party — an unusually large party, unfortunately. The Gran Canaria gay pride festival to which multiple patients have been linked reportedly drew 80,000 attendees from various countries over 10 days.

What doctors are most concerned with now is potential endemicity. No one’s expecting three billion infections and 270 million deaths. But if the pox spreads widely enough it could make the jump to local animals in the wild, where it’ll have an indefinite natural reservoir. It almost happened in the U.S. once before. In 2003, animals imported from Africa spread monkeypox to prairie dogs inside a pet store and the prairie dogs ultimately infected 47 people. The virus never made the jump to the wild, thankfully.

But if it does this time, dark possibilities will percolate. One of the leading theories for how Omicron managed to depart so wildly from the genetic structure of the original Wuhan virus was that it jumped from humans to animals somewhere, mutated in those infected animals, then made the jump back to humans in its new Frankenstein form. Giving monkeypox a huge animal population to evolve in would be risky business.

Production of smallpox vaccines is being ramped up, just in case.

Here’s Scott Gottlieb discussing the likely worst-case scenario, low-level spread in the west that persists long enough for the disease to become endemic. By the way, western conspiracy theorists are also hard at work trying to explain the sudden emergence of monkeypox. The biosecurity state needs a new excuse for lockdowns, the Democrats need a gamechanger for the midterms, the pharmaceutical companies need a new cash cow — this crankery is all tediously familiar and paint-by-numbers at this point.

"The risk right now is this becomes a persistent risk," says @ScottGottliebMD on #monkeypox. "This is a virus that is super stable outside the human host so it can live on objects like blankets and things like that–it could be disruptive in areas where this is spreading." pic.twitter.com/R8iJ0DLRGn

Conspiracy theorists have now been renamed as “spoiler alerts”.

In my opinion, someone released this. I believe we are now in the state of biological warfare. Who knows where it will end if various parties keep trying to “one up” the others.

Are used to think that our American government was intrinsically better than the ChiCom government but I am no longer so sure.

whether intentional or accidental, covid-19 quite publicly opened pandora’s box. perhaps the box had been cracked open a few times before. but now the whole world knew it was open.

at that point I came to the grim realization that we would start to see unusual diseases popping up and spreading, whether modified or not, and it would all be biological warfare by unidentified party(ies).

the conclusion I come to from there is at some point someone is going to let a really deadly one out, or a less deadly one will naturally acquire a nasty mutation, and kill off a nice chunk of the planetary population. We have plutocrats more or less suggesting that this is what is needed anyway. As far as I can tell the WEF runs a number of western governments, the whole world knows it, and accepts it.

Monkeypox fits this bill. I don’t know if it is modified at this point.

the adenovirus associated with the hepatitis cases afaik still has not had its sequence released, and they surely have multiple sequences for it and have for weeks.

at this point the US probably has its hands in every corrupt scheme on the planet possible. if we are not involved, it is not for lack of trying.

They did. Bill Gates did, likely with the help of US government agencies.

BUT CHINA (Wuhan) HELPED. They did the banned Gain-Of Function weaponization for monkeypox (and general smallpox strains which will be released soon), just like they did for Covid 19.

I been hearing there are(were?) bio labs in western ukraine and this monkeypox could be a product from there

gates has mentioned smallpox maybe being the next big thing. I pay attention when he says something out of the blue like that.

he telegraphs, probably compulsive, just something he never needed to control (or perhaps no longer sees any reason to).

Yep.

Several months ago he threatened us with it, demanded a billion dollars a year of U.S. Taxpayer money for his “Foundation” to protect us from it.

I guess he didn’t get paid.

They (Gates, Schwab, etc) tell us their plans but few listen and even fewer understand what they are actually saying.

I agree. I don’t know if they really want to release something that is truly deadly, or if they want us to be so afraid that they will, that we all just agree to stay in our homes and not travel (all to beat climate change of course).

If we “little” people stayed at home and barely survived by going out only once or twice a month for supplies, it would certainly benefit those that control us in that they would be free to travel and have the pick of the “best stuff” while we are left to pick over the remains for what little we can scavenge.

And if that doesn't work well enough for the WEF Population Controllers Destroyers, expect them to release Marburg viruses, and perhaps Ebola.

Gates said they werecoming too.

Feel free to do so. We have to admit it’s true. My goodness, I used to think Alex Jones was crazy as he!!. His yearly rants about the globalists that I would see ocassionally was so way off the charts, who could believe him? Huh?

Now, that’s me. I believe him.

i don’t know either.

accepting that they may well just kill most of us like bugs being sprayed has not been a pleasant thing to try to accept.

Then we have our own western governments actively mandating basically unknown medical technology and actively suppressing investigation of adverse effects. the federal system is the only reason we didn’t have a much more onerous mandate here.

1. Garbage article. Like he didn’t have anything to write about but had to submit something.

2. Lot’s of people here saying the same thing - i.e. evil forces of the U.S. are behind it.

Monkey pox is not deadly.
