Stephen Green (Mr. VodkaPundit) is suspicious about the recent appearance of monkeypox. (This blog linked on the subject yesterday). Here’s some of his “Insanity Wrap” column from today at PJ Media:
Who needs to worry about monkeypox?
“Everybody,” said Presidentish Joe Biden in Korea on Monday.
“We’re working on it, hard, to figure out what we do,” he said.
Would it be too bold to suggest
that they already have a plan?
Lockdowns, shots, school closures,
masks, and stimulus checks.
. . .
Washington and the Global
Panicmonger Industry just won’t give up trying to scare us, will they? So we’re all going to die. If we don’t follow
orders, that is.
. . .
But who is this “everybody” that
Biden insists should be all aflutter over the pox?
As of Saturday, the World Health
Organization reported there were 92 cases in 12 countries, and a further 28
suspected cases under investigation. The U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia,
Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Belgium, Portugal and Netherlands have
all confirmed cases.
Maybe 120 cases, mostly restricted
to a small subset of the populations of a dozen countries with more than half a
billion people — and they basically have to be doing it to get infected.
I refuse to worry about monkeypox
unless we find out that those wacky Wuhan scientists have been monkeying around
with it.
At this point, things are starting
to feel less like Groundhog Day and
more like a reboot of Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove, but with biological weapons instead of nukes.
Maybe it’s time we learned to stop
worrying and love the plague.
But whatever happens: No. More.
Lockdowns.
Stephen Green is obviously skeptical. JD Rucker considers more insidious scenarios
here. insidious but not that far-fetched.
