“Monkeypox” was a world health exercise in 2021. How strange …
The so-called "monkeypox epidemic", "Monkeypox", is becoming more and more curious with each passing day. In the meantime, it is leading to the rebirth of the “Virostar” which otherwise would have remained in the gardens or, if able, to do their job. Now it turns out that this very virus was the subject of a worldwide health exercise just a year ago.
In March 2021, the NTI, an international nonprofit, partnered with the Munich Security Conference to conduct a theory exercise on reducing high-severity biological threats. The theoretical object of the exercise was precisely the birth and spread of a particularly aggressive variant of monkeypox (Monkeypox).
This exercise, which was to assess the readiness of international health systems, was attended by 19 leaders and experts from Africa, the Americas, Asia and Europe, with decades of combined experience in the fields of public health, the biotech industry, international security and of philanthropy.
Eventually, the exercise scenario revealed that the initial outbreak was caused by a terrorist attack that allegedly used a pathogen created in a laboratory with inadequate biosecurity and biological safety provisions and with weak oversight. The exercise estimated that, in the end, there would be three billion cases and 270 million deaths.
Discussions during the tutorial generated a number of key insights and findings. In particular, the participants in the exercise agreed that, despite the improvements made following the global response to COVID-19, the international pandemic prevention, detection, analysis, alert and response system would be inadequate.
The indications drawn from the exercise envisaged the need to improve the detection system, improvement of international evaluation systems, such as those of the IMS, of the governance of biological research and of its research funding system.
In the end, Monkeypox is not a particularly contagious infection, despite attempts to sow panic, and, compared to other much more serious infections, it is secondary. Bacteria such as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) that are taken to hospital cause infinitely more deaths than monkeypox, yet they receive a fraction of the attention given to this disease.
