MPOX, and thus originating from Africa? Surely we cannot say the name monkey as is politically incorrect. Does this perhaps something to be associated with the Nigerian organized crime gang brining it in?

The question is...why almost all such deadly virus are originating from Africa. Could it be the big pharmas doing their research with animals and humans there to introduce new disease and vaccines?

No, it  has alot to do with westerners  importing the infection, much as they did with Covid in Koh Samui.

Although it is an endemic disease  in Africa, it typically never made its way to the west. Here's the timeline of MPox infections. There were  several rave/dance festivals last summer in Europe, with the epicenter believed to be Spain, Initially traced to an infected Nigerian who brought to London, infecting others, it was then exported to western Europe that summer as infected males had close contact with others at some of the dance festivals, the two largest in Spain and Germany. On the Continent it became  primarily a disease spread by men having sex with men. The next explosion of cases was in Montreal , Canada, where many dance festival attendees brought back the infection in mid summer. Montreal was a primary portal of infection in North America . MPox is mostly reported in Americas and western Europe where it is a disease clustered in  "Gays" and "Blacks", however keep in mind that western countries are transparent and report while others like Russia, China and others do not, and while others like much of Africa do not have the infrastructure to  fully report.

Westerners  brought the infection to Thailand and infected male sex workers and others who then spread it to other people. The disease is quite obvious so it takes some rather selfish people to knowingly spread.  MPox can have some serious implications in populations like Thailand where there is high incidence of  HIV.

Attached are some interesting demographic characteristics. Note that a key  patient group are. children in the Americas. And most  infections are in  people who are less than middle aged, i.e. under age 35.

No. Please keep your unsubstantiated nonsensical big pharma conspiracy claims to yourself. The virus has long been endemic in Africa. The reality is that as long as locals engage in quasi cannibalism consuming other hominoids, they risk spreding these illnesses. Telling Asians not to torture animals in wet markets before  consuming, or  Latin Americans and Africans not to eat "bush meat" is deemed politically incorrect, so the dangerous and unsafe practices continue. There was a reason why some cultures  have strict codes in respect to dietary practice (e.g. Jains, Hindu, Jews, Muslims) and it is because of their thousands of years of observation of what happens when humans revert to primitivism.

I fully agree with you that the religious principles are well written thousands of years ago in the worlds oldest faith "Hinduism" which is still applicable today including the cure for all those know and unknow diseases. If one has been following that then he/she will have a healthy happy living. No need to follow 100%...just 50% is more than enough
