According to Yahoo News, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) received an alert on 17 November that Merck, an American pharmaceutical company and one of the largest in the world, had found 15 questionable vials, including five labeled “smallpox” and 10 labeled as “vaccinia”, in a vaccine facility freezer outside Philadelphia. The vials were secured immediately and the facility was locked down for FBI investigation.
Smallpox, an acute infectious disease caused by the smallpox virus, is transmitted from person to person via infected aerosols and droplets from infected persons who have developed symptoms such as fever, malaise, headache, fainting, severe back pain, and sometimes abdominal pain and vomiting appear 12-14 days after infection. 2-3 days later, the body temperature drops, and a rash appears on the body, first on the cheeks, hands, forearms, and then on the trunk. According to the World Health Organization, smallpox had plagued humans for at least 3,000 years before it was eradicated, claiming 300 million lives in the 20th century alone.
The smallpox virus has a lethality rate of up to 30 percent, and the last known smallpox epidemic in the United States occurred in 1947, according to CNN. The world’s last known epidemic case of smallpox was reported to have occurred in Somalia in 1977.
Following a global vaccination campaign, the World Health Organization officially declared smallpox eradicated in 1980, making it the first human infectious disease to be eradicated from the world. Smallpox is no longer present in nature, and because of its deadly nature, only two highly protected laboratories in the world stock smallpox virus, one in Russia and the other at the laboratory of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, and the vaccine facility at Merck should not and is not allowed to store smallpox virus at all.
Currently, most new generations are not vaccinated against smallpox, and those who were vaccinated before, their immunity may be waning. If smallpox returns again, it will hit the world hard.
Notably, and coincidentally, just earlier this month, U.S. Microsoft founder Bill Gates had issued a warning regarding smallpox. “You say, OK, what if a bioterrorist brought smallpox to 10 airports? You know, how would the world respond to that?…I’m hoping in five years, I can write a book called, ‘We ARE ready for the next pandemic’, but it’ll take tens of billions in R&D – the US and the UK will be part of that,” said Gates during a sit-down interview with Jeremy Hunt, the chair of the British Health Select Committee, for the think tank Policy Exchange, the largest and also the most influential think tank on the right, its reports often inform government policy in the UK.
He added, “There are epidemics caused by nature and epidemics caused by bioterrorism that may be even much worse than what we are experiencing today. However, advances in medical science should give us the tools to, you know, we can do better.”
It is extremely coincidental that before the COVID-19 epidemic began, on 18 October 2019, the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in partnership with the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation hosted Event 201, a high-level pandemic exercise to “illustrate the pandemic preparedness efforts, response decisions, and cooperation required from global businesses, governments, and public health leaders that the world will need to diminish the large-scale economic and societal consequences of a severe pandemic,” explained the center.
According to the scenario designed by the center’s scholars, the coronavirus in the event is named CAPS which is more transmissible via the respiratory route. “The disease starts in pig farms in Brazil, quietly and slowly at first, but then it starts to spread more rapidly…it is first exported by air travel to Portugal, the United States, and China and then to many other countries. Although at first, some countries are able to control it, it continues to spread and be reintroduced, and eventually no country can maintain control…the scenario ends at the 18-month point, with 65 million deaths. The pandemic is beginning to slow due to the decreasing number of susceptible people. The pandemic will continue at some rate until there is an effective vaccine or until 80-90% of the global population has been exposed. From that point on, it is likely to be an endemic childhood disease.”
Now, as a co-organizer, Bill Gates denies that such an exercise with posted documenting videos and photos ever took place. “Now here we are. We didn’t simulate this, we didn’t practice, so both the health policies and economic policies, we find ourselves in uncharted territory,” claimed him in an interview with BBC.
No one knows how different dangerous viruses suddenly show up; no one knows why American giant companies always invent vaccines on time or store unapproved viruses; no one knows why Bill Gates can always predict pandemics…all the mysteries are from the US without explanations.
