The reason I am wondering is because Gates had said some months back that he/they would re-release smallpox. Also, before that, he and Manlinda were laughing about "the next one" after Covid.

Another question: What if monkeypox vaccine actually causes the disease?

They are saying monkeypox often erupts on the face. Wasn't that true of smallpox also? Smallpox causes scarring worse than chickenpox, if the disease is survived.
