Scenario

• Monkeypox outbreak in Brinia

1,421 cases/4 deaths

• No international warnings or

advisories

Key Issues

• International alert & warning

systems

• Benefits of & need for early risk

assessment

Scenario

• 83 countries affected

70M cases/1.3M deaths

• Monkeypox engineered to be

vaccine-resistant

• National responses: effects of

early action

• International supply chain

challenges

Key Issues

• Benefits of pre-determined

triggers for national response

• International supply chain

challenges

• 480M cases/27M deaths

• Revelation of terror group

origins—infiltration of civilian

bio lab

Key Issues

• Biosecurity and governance of

dual-use bioscience research

In March 2021, NTI partnered with the Munich Security Conference to

conduct a tabletop exercise on reducing high-consequence biological threats.

Can't make this shit up can you?

Just found this Substack, they've done a deep dive into this.

"Before I jump into a brief summary of the document it is important to go down the rabbit hole to see how the dots are connected. The report was a partnership between The Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) and the Munich Security Conference. The Munich Security Conference has received funding of $1.2 mil from The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation."

"The Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) has also received $3.5 mil from The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in the name of Vaccine Development."

The exercise scenario portrayed a deadly, global pandemic involving an unusual strain of monkeypox virus that emerged in the fictional nation of Brinia and spread globally over 18 months. Ultimately, the exercise scenario revealed that the initial outbreak was caused by a terrorist attack using a pathogen engineered in a laboratory with inadequate biosafety and biosecurity provisions and weak oversight. By the end of the exercise, the fictional pandemic resulted in more than three billion cases and 270 million fatalities worldwide.
