I had the smallpox vaccine two or three times when I was going to school and once when I entered the service. It never took. I have no scar on my arm and am 75 years old.If you've had the Smallpox vaccine, you are protected from the Monkeypox virus.
When the hell is someone going to arrest these monsters?
Strengthening Global Systems to Prevent and Respond to High-Consequence Biological Threats
A new NTI | bio report released today on the sidelines of the Biological Weapons Convention Meeting of States Parties, “Strengthening Global Systems to Prevent and Respond to High-Consequence Biological Threats,” outlines actionable recommendations for the international community to bolster...www.nti.org

". . . The fictional exercise scenario unfolded gradually through a series of short videos that participants reacted to during a facilitated discussion. Key themes emerged regarding the need to strengthen international pandemic risk assessment and early warning systems; to establish clear triggers for national-level anticipatory response and aggressive early action to slow disease transmission and save lives; to reduce biotechnology risks and enhance oversight of life sciences research; and to promote new and stronger international health security preparedness financing mechanisms.
A full report will be published later in 2021. More information about previous exercises can be found in final reports from 2019 and 2020."
Anybody know a little bit more about G-o-F terminology? Did CCP and Australia collaborate?
Nature: “Rapid poxvirus engineering using CRISPR/Cas9 as
a selection tool“
Paper makes no mention of experimentally achieving "gain of function". Also makes no SPECIFIC mention of "monkey pox". It's general research of HOW to modify genetic sequencing in ANY "pox" virus. In fact, the techniques described apply to ANY DNA fiddling with a "pox" virus.
So the title of this thread is entirely ill-founded and conspiratorial.
Vaccinia virus (VACV) is a large, dsDNA virus in the Orthopoxviridae family. It is most renowned for its use in the eradication of smallpox, but continues to serve as a vector for recombinant vaccines and is an agent for oncolytic virotherapies12,13. One particularly desirable feature of VACV is the amenability of the 200 kb genome to insertions and deletions of up to 25 kb14. This flexibility allows for the introduction of genes for multiple antigens and immune-modulating proteins. In addition, ongoing studies are identifying viral genes that can be removed to increase safety and/or immunogenicity15,16,17. VACV, like all poxviruses, replicates within the cytoplasm of infected cells eliminating the possibility of integration into the host genome, which further supports its safety as a vector18
Then again when people are messing around with this stuff, and then we start having problems with this stuff, and then they hide all information about this stuff, it's impossible not to have a conspiracy, because the truth is hidden.
OTH -- people's lives are being saved today for diseases that did not have a cure BEFORE the use of viral vector technology. And it can be tailored to extremely RARE diseases that dont attract a lot of attention from pharma because of the "limited markets".
Viral Vectors in Gene Therapy
Applications of viral vectors have found an encouraging new beginning in gene therapy in recent years. Significant improvements in vector engineering, delivery, and safety have placed viral vector-based therapy at the forefront of modern medicine. Viral ...www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
