FBI investigating vials labeled 'smallpox' found in lab near Philadelphia
Yahoo ^ | 11 16 2021 | Jana Winter

The FBI and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are investigating “questionable vials” labeled "smallpox" and found in a freezer last night at a Merck facility outside Philadelphia, according to an alert sent to Department of Homeland Security leadership on Tuesday night.

There were reportedly a total of 15 questionable vials, according to the unclassified "For Official Use Only" alert, a copy of which was obtained by Yahoo News. Five of the vials were labeled as “smallpox” and 10 were labeled as “vaccinia." The vials were secured immediately.

The discovery of the vials prompted a lockdown of the facility, which has since been lifted. The FBI and CDC launched investigations, which remain ongoing.

Smallpox, a disease caused by the variola virus, is considered so deadly that only two labs in the world are authorized to store samples of the virus, including one in Russia and the other at the CDC in Atlanta.

This sort of report, true and accurate or not, doesn’t get out by accident.

Wasn’t there a incident a few years ago where CDC or USAMRID Fed-ex’d Ebola or otherwise had it delivered to The Univ of Penn or someplace with only a level 2 containment lab?

I believe they were supposed to send an attenuated strain of Anthrax but they sent the fully pathogenic strain by mistake.

If this is a picture of one of the actual vials found, they are vials of Dryvax vaccine for Smallpox not Smallpox virus samples.

Am I crazy for thinking... nevermind.

https://www.businessinsider.com/cdc-2nd-american-has-monkeypox-pus-boils-after-nigeria-visit-2021-11

Three hours ago Business Insider published this piece of another, similar pox virus, monkey pox. It is already here and has a 10% fatality rate.

TPOXX® is used to treat it and can also be used to treat smallpox.

Coincidences sure, but maybe we see a pattern?

By the way here is an article on how smallpox was treated in the 19th century:

There was a brief article on DC’s WTOP site today that there was a case of monkey pox in MD. Some guy who just returned from Nigeria. Article gushed about how harmless it is.

So why write an article about it?

“The illness can last two to four weeks, according to the CDC. Monkeypox is fatal for as many as 1 in 10 people who get sick in Africa. There’s no proven treatment for it, but the smallpox vaccine and some antivirals can help control outbreaks.”

That’s from the Business Insider article. So it’s more dangerous than the coronavirus.

Speaking of CoupFlu...

FDA Asks Federal Judge to Grant it Until the Year 2076 to Fully Release Pfizer’s COVID-19 Vaccine Data The fed gov’t shields Pfizer from liability. Gives it billions of dollars. Makes Americans take its product. But won’t let you see the data supporting its safety/efficacy. Who does the gov't work for?

At first I thought 2076 was a typo by the author, but here is the court document:
