In 2019 one of the few Biological War labs that had Smallpox samples in the world, in Russia, suddenly exploded - https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2019/09/19/762013515/russian-lab-explosion-raises-question-should-smallpox-virus-be-kept-or-destroyed

Early this year a truck full of monkeys crashed and the monkeys escaped, they were bound to a lab - https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/21/us/monkeys-truck-crash-pennsylvania.html

Merck also found a few samples of smallpox in their freezer, in Pennsylvania, just laying there, last year, 3 months before the monkeys accident - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBbfmars3rg

There are a couple of suspected monkey pox cases in NYC. If it falls off the news that means it's there, they did that with Sars-CoV-2. I was vigilant in following the news and prepped in case I needed to shelter in place. When the suspected Covid cases disappeared from the news I knew it was in my neck of the woods. NYC is a major international flight hub, of course everything comes here, but it also leaves here to spread the love.

I'm old enough to have been vaccinated for smallpox. I wasn't sure how long the immunity lasts but one study said as long as 88 years. Fingers crossed. Of course, I'm not vaccinated for monkey pox so there's that. Here's hoping my immune system is great since I didn't get the Covid jabs.
