Covid-19 has been unpleasant for many reasons. However, it is not particularly lethal. It is interesting to notice that in the midst of so many restrictions and social changes, the Biden administration has promised us a couple of things: A “Dark Winter” and the “Next Pandemic.” Bill Gates has also called Covid19 the “first pandemic” and has proposed that society should prepare for “Pandemic 2.” How prepared are you for something worse? And do you have any idea what that will be?
I don’t have a medical background. However, my mother is a retired physician. Together, we have been preparing for various pandemic possibilities over the last 20 years, including SARS, H1N1 flu, H5N1 flu, Ebola, and Covid19. This article is the result of some recent, timely discussions. I’m sure that we are not alone in thinking about this issue, and noticing the trends in current events and attitudes.
So, I present a likely candidate for the next pandemic: Smallpox. Take a look at the following timeline:
06/22/2001- The Center for Strategic and International Studies along with Johns Hopkins and
ANSER simulated a widespread smallpox bioterrorist attack on the US called “Dark Winter”
(note the name!) They did this simulation in spite of the fact that smallpox was
considered eradicated from the world as of 1980.
01/14/2005- “Atlantic Storm” a bioterrorism war game was held in Washington, D.C. In this
scenario smallpox was released in Los Angeles, New York City, and 5 other world cities.
09/04/2007- The FDA approved a new smallpox vaccination due to their concern of potential fatality
rates of above 25%. This vaccine has not been without adverse side effects in our military.
07/01/2014- Six vials of smallpox were discovered in a cardboard box at the National Institute of Health.
This was a startling surprise as the only samples thought to exist were held in two
locations, the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Russia’s Vector Institute.
11/14/2014- Bill Gates funded the development of antiviral brincidofovir to treat ebola. (This
same drug was later approved in June 2021 to treat smallpox.)
03/02/2017- David Evans, a professor at University of Alberta, Canada, synthesized an extinct horsepox
virus (similar to smallpox) in his lab. This proved the concept that smallpox could be
recreated for minimal cost by either state or non-state actors without access to existing
smallpox virus samples.
10/10/2017- Johns Hopkins’ Center for Health Security completed a “SPARS Pandemic 2025-2028”
scenario.
07/13/2018- The FDA approved antiviral tecovirimat aka TPOXX for the treatment of smallpox.
09/10/2018- Contracts were signed to provide and maintain a supply of 1.7 million courses of TPOXX in
the US National Stockpile. Another round of contracts was signed 09/03/2019
09/24/2019- The FDA approved a live vaccine against smallpox and monkeypox.
06/25/2020- $32 million was allotted to supply TPOXX to the US Health and Human Services.
06/04/2021- The FDA approved brincidofovir for the treatment of smallpox. This drug development
was funded by Bill Gates and Wellcome Trust in 2014.
09/13/2021- Eric Lander, Biden’s science advisor and director of the Office of Science and Technology
stated in an interview, “The next pandemic will likely be substantially different than Covid,
and so the U.S. government must prepare now to deal with any future viral threat.” The
White House subsequently released a 27-page paper outlining the expectation that
pandemics will occur with increasing frequency and severity.
10/31/2021- President Biden signed an executive order detailing federal control over the
National Defense Stockpile.
11/09/2021- Bill Gates warned of possible smallpox bioterrorist attacks such as at ten US
airports.
11/16/2021- Several vials of smallpox(?) were discovered at an unsecured Merck lab in
Pennsylvania. The CDC took possession of this alarming cache and later stated that
the vials only contained the viral materials used to make the smallpox vaccine and
not the virulent virus itself.
11/22/2021- Dr. Zev Zelenko, M.D., a physician who treats covid patients expressed concern that
bioterrorism may be used to depopulate the earth and stated that covid was “war
gamed” before it became a pandemic. (Internet search “Event 201” October 2019.)
Dr. Zelenko encouraged people to optimize their immune systems by utilizing certain
supplements in order to decrease viral replication. He also discussed a historical
Native American smallpox remedy which will be discussed in detail.Continue reading“Smallpox? – Managing a Serious Possibility, by SwampFox”
