A Smallpox Epidemic is More Possible than You Think

On November 4, 2021, Bill Gates said we must be ready for a bioterrorist attack with smallpox as the bioweapons. That is strange because smallpox was declared eradicated in 1980.

But Bill Gates is a billionaire, so he must be smart. He also heads the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation that hosted Event 201.

In case you don’t know, Event 201 is an exercise that happened in October 2019 involving the private and government sectors on how to contain a coronavirus pandemic.

Two months later, in December 2019, the real coronavirus plandemic started in Wuhan, China, and spread worldwide. The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security has issued a statement stating that they did not predict the COVID-19 plandemic. Well, of course not. That’s just a coincidence.

That is why it is probably another coincidence that twelve days after Bill Gates gave that smallpox warning, on November 16, 2021, 15 vials labeled smallpox were found in a Merck vaccine research freezer in the Philadelphia area.

If you are not familiar with smallpox, there are two things you want to know. Look at the child below and its 30% mortality rate. For comparison, COVID-19 has less than 2%.

The vials were sent to the Centers for Disease Control. Today, Phillyvoice reported that the vials did not have variola or smallpox but contained the vaccinia virus used in the smallpox vaccine. The vaccinia virus belongs to the same poxvirus family as the variola.

Vaccines for smallpox are made from the vaccinia virus because they provide cross-immunity, and they are safer. According to the Merck manual,

Licensed smallpox vaccines in the US consist of live replication-competent vaccinia virus (ACAM2000) and JYNNEOS, a live attenuated (replication-deficient) modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) vaccine.

The live viruses in the vaccines can sometimes cause disease. If they used the smallpox virus in the vaccine and it causes disease, it has a 30% mortality rate. It also spreads fast and becomes a public health disaster.

However, suppose the vaccinia virus in the smallpox vaccine causes disease. In that case, it is typically very mild and often does not cause symptoms in healthy individuals, although it may cause rash and fever.

So, where are the live stocks of the smallpox virus hidden?

The live viruses are maintained at the CDC in Atlanta, USA, and the
State Research Centre of Virology and Biotechnology, Novosibirsk, Russian Federation (VECTOR).

But we’re not done yet. The smallpox virus can be synthesized.

In June 2015, the WHO had a meeting about the synthetic biology of smallpox and its risk to public health. A Scientific Working Group made a report to the World Health Organization.

Part of the report is below. Emphasis added.

The SWG concluded that, with the increasing availability of DNA fragments that can be synthesized from simple chemicals, it would be possible to recreate variola virus, and that this could be done by a skilled laboratory technician or by undergraduate students working with viruses in a relatively simple laboratory.

To recreate the variola virus by synthesizing the DNA and then relinking the parts is theoretically possible but is considered to be highly unlikely to happen accidentally since the variola genome is large and complex. It was therefore felt that synthesis would require a deliberate and sustained effort.

Over 45 genomes of the variola virus have been sequenced and the sequence is in the public domain, and other orthopox viruses (which have similar DNA) have been recreated.

Recreating variola virus is prohibited by under the World Health Assembly (WHA) resolutions, though anyone trying to do this may not know or care about WHO’s rules.

Someone recreating the virus could, either by accident or deliberately, introduce elements to enhance its virulence or make it resistant to existing medicines and vaccines.

They argue that there is still a danger that someone will recreate the virus synthetically even if the stocks of the smallpox virus are destroyed.

The WHO anticipates four scenarios.  Scenario four is something from Hollywood.

  • Scenario 1 described the emergence of smallpox-like disease in a remote area in a developing country.
  • Scenario 2 described the emergence of smallpox-like disease in a densely populated city.
  • Scenario 3 described the emergence of smallpox-like disease following a laboratory accident.
  • Scenario 4 described a situation in which a group of individuals injects themselves with synthesized variola virus.

When is an old virus is a new virus?

Another problem if smallpox suddenly comes back is expressed by the Institute of Medicine (US) Committee on the Assessment of Future Scientific Needs for Live Variola Virus.

As noted earlier, smallpox was eradicated prior to the modem age of cell and molecular biology, virology, and immunology.

Therefore, the basics of viral replication, determinants of viral virulence, and pathogenesis of the disease are not as well understood as they are for other pathogens.

That sounds like what happened with the SARS-CoV-2 in the beginning. No one knows anything about the SARS-CoV-2. COVID-19 was called nCOV-2019 or new coronavirus at the start. At least, we know something about the other coronaviruses like the SARS and MERS, for starters.

What happens in a smallpox outbreak?

The World Health Organization has a Smallpox Vaccine Emergency Stockpile. One is held by the WHO headquarters in Switzerland of approximately 2.4 million doses. Another is a pledged stockpile of 31.01 million doses. Not enough for the whole world. The vaccines will facilitate the initial response to a smallpox outbreak while the vaccine industry will hurry up to make new vaccines. Expect more emergency use authorizations.

On their Smallpox website, the CDC said, “There is enough smallpox vaccine to vaccinate every person in the United States if a smallpox outbreak were to occur.”

TPOXX (tecovirimat) the Smallpox Drug

Tecovirimat is an FDA-approved drug for smallpox by SIGA Technologies, whose stock went up when “smallpox” was discovered in Philadelphia recently.

TPOXX prevents the spread of the variola virus in the host.

Pray that we don’t have to use TPOXX.
