Vaccine approved in 2019.

What a coincidence.

”Monkeypox was first identified in the 1950s when two outbreaks occurred in colonies of monkeys used for research purposes, with the first human case reported in 1970 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.”

It has been around since 1970. Not a coincidence.

Reminds me of HIV

Good thing the cluster of cases (from a virus that has been known for over 50 years) waited until after the vaccine was approved.

It's probably the other way around: they already knew about other clusters of cases before they re-approved the vaccine, it just didn't make it in the news. The virus might also have been present in monkeys but did not cause disease until the monkeys were stressed due to being locked in cages and used for research.

There's no need for conspiracy theories here.

Source?

Over 100 cases on several continents within days?

The ‘k’ in monkeypox is silent.

There are more coincidencies on the German wikipedia page of the manufacturer. ( company was requested to make a smallpox vaccine). It's a tough world and companies must survive somehow.
