Over the past few days, global news outlets are increasingly drawing attention to multiple new outbreaks of the otherwise rare monkeypox virus — a situation that obviously calls to mind the already existing, still-very-much-here pandemic. Although its name conjures terrifying plague scenarios — the images of its symptomatic lesions don’t help, either — monkeypox is generally considered to be a relatively mild affliction lasting between two and four weeks with comparatively low fatality rates. While there is no known cure for the virus, there is a lot of evidence that smallpox inoculations can prevent contracting the illness, as well as lessen symptoms’ severity.
All this to say, you shouldn’t be too concerned with double whammy pandemics on the horizon at the moment; that is unless you subscribe to QAnon cultism and similar, anti-vaxx conspiracy theories. If that’s the case, nothing I’m telling you right now is probably going to change your mind, because monkeypox is clearly the Satanic Global Elite’s next phase of its Great Plan to control the masses and inject us all with microchips. Clearly.
