Schon 2021 wurde im Rahmen der Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz eine Mpox-Pandemie in einem Planspiel durchgespielt. Das belegt, dass der derzeitige Mpox-Ausbruch geplant ist.

Publisher’s rating: Falsche Schlussfolgerung. Dass 2021 im Rahmen der Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz eine Mpox-Pandemie in einem Planspiel durchgespielt wurde, ist richtig. Es belegt aber nicht, dass der derzeitige Ausbruch in Afrika geplant wurde. Solche Planspiele sind üblich und sollen Politiker und Entscheidungsträger für die Gefahren einer möglichen Pandemie sensibilisieren und sie darauf besser vorbereiten. Dabei werden üblicherweise fiktive Szenarien mit Viren entwickelt, von denen tatsächlich eine Gefahr ausgeht.
