Scientists who have monitored numerous outbreaks of monkeypox in Africa say they are baffled by the disease's recent spread in Europe and North America.

There are about 80 confirmed cases worldwide and 50 more suspected ones, the World Health Organization said. France, Germany, Belgium and Australia reported their first cases Friday.

“I’m stunned by this. Every day I wake up and there are more countries infected,” said Oyewale Tomori, a virologist who formerly headed the Nigerian Academy of Science and who sits on several WHO advisory boards.

“This is not the kind of spread we’ve seen in West Africa, so there may be something new happening in the West,” he said.

    seems they have been possibly doing this for a while

    remember swine flu

    zika virus

    ebola scares

    measles outbreaks

    encouraging parents to have kids get gardisil vaccine (to prevent HPV, an STD, in kids)

    (and i’m probably forgetting other ones)

    they’ve been memeing the “unvaccinated bad” meme for a while

    but no one bought in to lockdowns and forcing “vaccines” until now (must have been able to gauge public willingness to accept things before trying it out?)
