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 of being withing a few steps of relation to something like this. Think centrality from graph theory. Gates is a very central vertex.

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.

  Consider the possibility that since Smallpox has been eradicated for forty years, someone in that lab may have thought nothing of the vials in there until after seeing the recent chatter about it, triggering a Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon in the lab worker, leading them to reporting the dangerous vials.

  It's just so silly that people who took the prospect of a global pandemic seriously are looked at suspiciously by conspiracy kooks. We had so many close calls in the past, including a bunch of Coronaviruses (SARS/MERS/a bunch of serious colds), it was obvious as international travel increased, population density increased and humans further encroached on nature that we would see things like Covid. Experts had been warning us for years which is why nearly everyone with any brains opposed the idiotic dismantling of warning networks, Chinese CDC teams, and the pandemic response NSC unit under Trump.
