What a coincidence. Another coincidence would be Event 201: https://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/event201/ Even one of those coincidences would be pretty amazing, but two? Tied to the same person? Absolutely wild.

Only wild if you assume that everyone has the same likelihood of having proximity to such an event. But people involved in smallpox research have a much increased chance because they have (physical) proximity to the places this can happen and those that find them have (secondary) proximity to those that have higher (physical) proximity. And Gates funds lots of these researchers so he has a very, very high likelihood…

Gates funds a lot of research. Two weeks ago he talked about a smallpox terror attack in the US, and then a couple days ago "smallpox" vials are found. I don't care what his proximity is, it's still a crazy coincidence.

And Event 201 was about a global pandemic, put on by the Gates Foundation in October 2019. I don't think I need to point out what happened shortly after that. Again, it's not about proximity but specificity and timing.

Apparently this happened before:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallpox

> On July 1, 2014, six sealed glass vials of smallpox dated 1954, along with sample vials of other pathogens, were discovered in a cold storage room in an FDA laboratory at the National Institutes of Health location in Bethesda, Maryland. The smallpox vials were subsequently transferred to the custody of the CDC in Atlanta, where virus taken from at least two vials proved viable in culture.[130][131] After studies were conducted, the CDC destroyed the virus under WHO observation on February 24, 2015.[132]

Related: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/bill-gates-smallp... edit: Wow downvotes for linking to an event related to small pox. I figured it was important especially the timing. How many other small pox events do you remember in recent history? It's simply an interview about smallpox that happened recently. All I said was it was related.

This is not a good topic for Hacker News, you might get a better reception on Infowars.

Considering the context of the topic and the current state of the world, I found it to be an interesting read.

Can you elaborate why you added this part to your comment?

I understand why HN doesn't like speculation in "dirty" topics.

But I wouldn't really blame the average person for wondering about this since we know that Gates & WEF held coronavirus pandemic drills a month before the outbreak happened (or by some accounts of the origins, in the same month as it happened). I think everyone's suspicions of government and individuals tied to it are extra high due to everything from the last 2 years.

Maybe we should shutdown all labs studying pathogens until they can figure out how to handle themselves. We aren’t even through the current scientist caused pandemic yet.

>We aren’t even through the current pandemic yet.

FTFY.

The parent comment was a pretty clumsy dog whistle to paranoid folks who believe Gates to be a sinister puppetmaster who is unleashing pandemic disease on the world. The Infowars audience is very receptive to this unfounded notion. Since the commenter is concerned about the popularity of his posts, I proposed a suitable audience that would be more receptive and would provide the desired positive response.
