    Monkeypox Wargamed in Nov '21 by Nuclear Threat Initiative

    The following screen shot is taken from a November 2021 paper by the Nuclear Threat Initiative titled, "Strengthening Global Systems to Prevent and Respond to High-Consequence Biological Threats."

    I've attached the paper to this post in PDF format for substantiation purposes here: Attachment 68137

    Nuclear Threat Initiative. But I get your point.

    Very interesting indeed.


    Riots are like sports, it's better to watch it on TV at home.

    Pretty interesting how MP surfaced in about a dozen different countries simultaneously as well.

    Creepy that this is starting By The Numbers the exact same way as Commie Lung AIDS did... first a "wargame," then a release.

    Doh!

    Yes, I thought it was interesting. Does anyone else find it odd how often stuff is wargamed right before it happens?

    So some obscure organization that likes to wargame using likely scenarios did just that? And then the likely scenario they picked happened?
