In March of 2021 world leaders proposed an initiative for a global pandemic preparedness response treaty. This included plans aimed at "greatly enhancing international co-operation to improve... global production and distribution of medical and public health counter-measures such as vaccines, medicines, diagnostics and personal protective equipment."

At that very moment, the Munich Security Conference held a tabletop exercise scenario of a global pandemic "involving an unusual strain of monkeypox" that was released by terrorists from a laboratory where it had been "engineered" to spread more easily. The exercise was conducted by NTI and concluded that the "WHO should establish a graded, transparent, international public health alert system." In their fictional scenario, the attack occurred on May 15, 2022.

Fast forward to January 2022 when a truckload of monkeys crashed while heading to a CDC lab, then fast forward to May 12 when a man in Massachusetts was quarantined with suspected monkeypox. The case was confirmed three days later, after being suspected three days before the tabletop exercise date. On May 16, the Lancet called for a "pandemic treaty" and "clear global governance" to enforce the pact. The same week we began hearing about monkeypox outbreaks, including cases, superspreader events, contact tracing, isolation for 21 days, and warnings to avoid gatherings and intimate situations. We also saw the same photos recycled to conjure up fear and anxiety.

On May 22 the 75th World Health Assembly is being held with the World Health Organization to discuss the global pandemic treaty and amendments to International Health Regulations (IHR), which include the following: allowing the WHO to declare public health emergencies in States and determine mitigation procedures, and to deploy expert teams to assess nations. Any refusals from sovereign nations must be submitted to the WHO and approved by a Committee.
