Since the end of the Olympic Games, politicians and the media have been speaking more and more of a coming monkeypox epidemic. All the frameworks that we saw during the Covid crisis seem to be in the process of being reinstalled at record speed. The story begins by sewing fear in the population, and ends with a conclusion that has been prepared in advance: we are going to have to buy billions of doses of vaccines (patented of course) as a matter of urgency. It is urgent and crucial that as many of us as possible first awaken intellectually and then find the courage to publicly announce their refusal to consent.
We all remember what we lived through between 2020 and 2022. A virus said to be comparable to the terrifying epidemics of the past was going to ravage all of humankind; there was no possible means of treating people; the only viable approach was to shut people up in their homes (repeated lockdowns) while waiting for deliverance to arrive through the miracle of “95% safe and effective” vaccines.
It seems likely that most people today understand that the reality was a great deal more complicated than that, that politicians overplayed — or rather, manipulated — this whole affair; and that, meanwhile, the vast majority of the media betrayed their mission to provide trustworthy information to the population, becoming instead messengers to transmit and amplify massive political and industrial propaganda. Most of us thought that many years would have to elapse before the game was played again, enough time for “people to forget”. Now it seems this was a mistake: some among them are clearly desperate to play the match all over again, especially where the prizes on offer are so immense. And they are using exactly the same methods, born of the good old techniques of commercial marketing. After the Covid affair, the monkeypox business is on the march.
