And it escaped from the bio weapons lab in Ukraine when Russian invasion forces accidentally released it…the story practically writes itself!

This could be the reason US funding of monkeypox research by Russia's premier bioweapons lab is being memoryholed.

It is an unfortunate side-effect of training, having exercises and doing drills that the plans for those also looks like plans to actually set the scenario up as real. It's like doing a hand-book on poisonous plants - it can just as easily be used to find them and use them for nefarious purposes, as it can be used as intended.

If we don't war-game, which is the origin of all such exercises, we have no clue what to do when something actually happens, regardless of cause.

Considering it is not supposed to be easily transmitted, I am suspicious and angry. This is what happens when people who could have done something, put their heads down and pretend to see no evil. They too will suffer if this turns out to be the next plague that's been engineered to bring the free world to its knees.

Isn't "conspiracy theory" already a synonym for "spoiler"?

Wait, wait, wait, I think I've seen this plot before.

Let's see, it goes something like this:

Step 1, do secret gain of function research to create a "novel" virus

Step 2, create a vaccine, in secret, that should "cure" the virus illness

Step 3, release the virus on an unsuspecting public

Steps 4-8, talk about Scince, bunch of plot filler, look concerned, have affairs, lock down kids, make everyone else wear a mask, don't have the hero wear a mask on TV (too beautiful)

Step 9, Go warp speed to "develop" a vaccine, skip the trials, too long and boring for the hero genius, plus, who cares, the hero is a genius

Step 10, inoculate the world

Step 11, uh oh, lots of new deaths and diseases

Step 12, find out that vaxx development was garbage and actually kills more than the original virus

Step 13, Declare a permanent State of Emergency, for everyone, except the hero, his billions preclude safety

Step 14, keep talking up the lifesaving vaxx, focus on how bad it could have been without the Science

Step 15, start all over again at Step 1
