“…21 What has found representation in reality, however, is the prediction that emerged from its illustration, that when those that co-manifest among the diseases in the immunological spectrum of monkeypox in any individual in whom immunological conditions disappear during the 2022 multi-country outbreak are those that have severe outcomes, their co-manifestation will cause death irrespective of how little the virulence of the detected monkeypox virus has been logically deduced to be. Such severe outcomes which include encephalitis and septic shock have, since the prediction was made on June 2, been reported to cause monkeypox deaths in Brazil, Spain, India, 17,18,22 Ecuador, 23 Peru, 18 and just when my assistant and I began editing this preprint some hours ago, news suggesting that the list now includes the United States reached us. 24,25,26 3.…”

“…15 Such different diseases in the immunological spectrum of monkeypox which have different causes do not co-manifest to produce outcomes of different kinds in different patients because the monkeypox virus is spreading in the population but rather because of the disappearance of the conditions that permit such different causes to be present asymptomatically so that the virus would, in the absence of such disappearance, be transmitted for generations without being detected. Monkeypox manifestations have therefore not appeared overwhelmingly in men who have had sex with men because the monkeypox virus is spreading primarily between them now 7 but rather because the conditions that permit the asymptomatic presence of the different causes of the spectral diseases that co-manifest to kill humans with severe outcomes that include encephalitis 16,17,18 are currently disappearing much more frequently among such MSM individuals than among other individuals just as they disappeared more frequently among children and women than men in Africa in the early 1970's.…”

“…Monkeypox cases have been reported in more than 90 locations and have not been reported before 2022 (more than 51,000 confirmed cases up to September 1) [ 8 ]. Monkeypox has previous significant fatality rates of about 5% and may cause many health complications, including fatal outcomes in 2022 [ 8 , 21 ]. Moreover, unlike COVID-19, the world is not yet ready to control the infection.…”

“…But in reality, pneumonic plague, which is one of the three major forms of plague, is not a single disease that spreads but rather is an outcome of different diseases that appear concomitantly because of the disappearance of the conditions that permit the different diseases in the immunological spectrum of the disease that Yersnia pestis causes to be rendered asymptomatic without the elimination of their causes." 4 This spectral theory of infectious disease pathogenesis, 6,7,8,9,10 according to which the severe outcomes that cause death in the infected are not a direct consequence of transmission of the pathogen but rather of the disappearance of the conditions that permit asymptomatic hosting of 5 the pathogen and other diseases in its immunological spectrum which results in the comanifestation of such diseases and severe outcomes which the spread of the pathogen cannot account for has now, sadly, been confirmed by monkeypox deaths from severe clinical outcomes of different kinds in non-endemic countries which now include Brazil, Spain, India, 11,12 Ecuador, 13 Peru, 12 the United States, 14,15 Mexico and Cuba. 16 But in the absence of the knowledge of the reality which has yielded the spectral theory of infectious disease pathogenesis, how the monkeyvirus brings about different severe clinical outcomes, which include those with encephalitis, could not be explained.…”
