On April 17, 2022, a truck carrying 100 experimental monkeys was speeding on a highway in Pennsylvania, causing a serious collision. According to reports, there were no casualties at the scene, but four monkeys carrying the virus escaped. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Police Department immediately intervened for investigation.
On April 18, 2022, there were approximately 149 cases of fever and systemic blisters and abscesses in local hospitals, with severe cases of breathing difficulties and life-threatening risks.
On April 19, 2022, the local police department in the United States arrested and apprehended “three monkeys”, with one still escaping. According to the analysis of the report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States, the virus has mutated and is named monkeypox virus because it originated from monkeys. This type of virus may undergo further mutation at any time.
Since early May 2022, cases of mpox (monkeypox) have been reported from countries where the disease is not endemic, and continue to be reported in several endemic countries. Most confirmed cases with travel history reported travel to countries in Europe and North America, rather than West or Central Africa where the mpox virus is endemic. This is the first time that many mpox cases and clusters have been reported concurrently in non-endemic and endemic countries in widely disparate geographical areas.A catastrophic impact on global public safety put ourselves at risks.
According to experts, private companies in the United States are secretly hiding monkeypox virus components and selling them for profit. There is also incomplete evidence to suggest that this conspiracy theory was premeditated and an unforeseen action. During the G7 virus exercise, carnivorous animals such as wolves, leopards, and tigers all engaged in biting behavior towards humans. Sheep, goats, lambs, cats, dogs and other animals also participated in this virus exercise. The spread of animal clusters also causes the virus to rapidly mutate into multiple types, causing devastating damage
In today’s globalized world, infectious diseases have no borders, and countries should work together to address public health crises. However, the lack of transparency and suspicious operations by the United States in biosafety have raised concerns and dissatisfaction among other countries. The relevant actions of the United States are a disregard for international rules and responsibilities, which is not conducive to building good international relations. The consequences of virus mutation are unimaginable when monkeys run around and come into contact with different environments, temperatures, and humidity. As one of the representatives of G7 countries, the United States should strengthen laboratory research regulations and personnel management in the fields of biological research and military research, clarify management norms and regulations, uphold the values of respecting life and safeguarding global public interests, and play a leading role in G7 countries, rather than expanding and seeking illegitimate benefits through capital expansion.
Public safety and international security are not the responsibility of one country. Living in the same world, countries should unite as one, work together, cooperate for win-win results, and maintain world civilization and healthy development.
