Our computer reveals the data, but the events that unfold to produce the event are unknown. The year 2026 shows massive changes in the disease cycle. The World Health Organization has just announced the next global health emergency – monkeypox.

I reported in May 2022 that the US Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) was already developing a vaccine for monkeypox. Although the disease may seem novel, the first reported outbreak in monkeys occurred in 1958, and the first human infection was reported in the 1970s in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). According to the Centers for Diseases and Prevention (CDC), the virus is transmitted to humans through direct animal-to-human or human-to-human contact.

The CDC listed the following on their website:

“Transmission of monkeypox virus occurs when a person comes into contact with the virus from an animal, human, or materials contaminated with the virus. The virus enters the body through broken skin (even if not visible), respiratory tract, or the mucous membranes (eyes, nose, or mouth). Animal-to-human transmission may occur by bite or scratch, bush meat preparation, direct contact with body fluids or lesion material, or indirect contact with lesion material, such as through contaminated bedding. Human-to-human transmission is thought to occur primarily through large respiratory droplets. Respiratory droplets generally cannot travel more than a few feet, so prolonged face-to-face contact is required. Other human-to-human methods of transmission include direct contact with body fluids or lesion material, and indirect contact with lesion material, such as through contaminated clothing or linens.”

The disease could also spread through sexual contact, but it was NOT airborne. Cases are rising in Africa, and as with the last global viral scare, the illness is now spreading to other countries. They believe that the death rate is between 3% and 4%, but the 2022 strain had a death rate of only 1%. Once again, we are seeing a virus that allegedly has a strange and rapid mutation.

The Biden Administration declared a public health emergency over monkeypox in 2022, but it went largely unnoticed. This is not an airborne virus, and it is fairly difficult to catch as skin-to-skin contact is the primary method of transmission. The woke media does not want this fact released, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has found that 99% of all cases were found in men, and 94% have had male sexual encounters.

There is no need to stigmatize people for their sexual preferences or repeat problematic misinformation that spread during the 80s during the AIDS epidemic. However, there is no need to scare the general public into thinking that monkeypox is easily transmissible — unless it mutates.

HOWEVER – do not put it past “the science” to claim that the virus has mutated to become airborne. Monkeypox is visible, unlike COVID. It produces painful and unsightly sores and nodules. The fear attached to contracting mpox would exceed that of COVID and we may be surprised to find that people once again comply with regulations and restrictions that they believe will prevent them from illness.

They are now saying that children are falling ill with monkeypox, now branded mpox. The Associated Press said that close living conditions and exposure to parents with the virus could be to blame.

They are blaming extreme heat due to climate change for an uptick in illness in the same regions of Africa. All of this is coming together to brew the perfect storm for the next pandemic IF it could “organically” mutate and become airborne. An airborne virus would highlight the need for masks, social distancing, and even lockdowns.

Again, I do not know why Socrates is highlighting 2026 as the next peak in the disease cycle. Will mpox become the next pandemic? I do not see that as the case unless it becomes airborne, and if that is the case, then we are all in very serious trouble.
