In March, 2021, the "Nuclear Threat Initiative" Held a "Drill" for MonkeyPox Terror Attack -- May 15, 2022 . . . now we have one
In March 2021, the Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) partnered with the Munich Security Conference to conduct a "tabletop exercise" simulating a global pandemic involving an unusual strain of monkeypox caused by a terrorist attack using a pathogen engineered in a laboratory. In the "exercise" the terror Monkey pox attack took place in May, 2022. Well, it is now May, 2022, and we now have . . . an outbreak of actual Monkeypox. These "exercises" aren't exercises, they're plans!
Developed in consultation with technical and policy experts, the fictional exercise scenario portrayed a deadly, global pandemic involving an unusual strain of monkeypox virus that first emerged in the fictional nation of Brinia and spread globally over 18 months. Ultimately, the exercise scenario revealed that the initial outbreak was caused by a terrorist attack using a pathogen engineered in a laboratory with inadequate biosafety and biosecurity provisions and weak oversight. By the end of the exercise, the fictional pandemic resulted in more than three billion cases and 270 million fatalities worldwide.
