Which is why I said “other diseases.” Chickenpox and monkey pox may be related, but they are not smallpox. Unless there’s an accident (or an “accident”) at one of the four labs with smallpox samples, or some idiot finds and licks the wrong civil war envelope, it’s gone.
I’m not arguing your other points, nor that antivax idiots aren’t causing problems. But smallpox specifically is not on the rise.
That’s not how this works. The monkeypox and chickenpox are different diseases, and the smallpox virus is literally extinct (save for a handful of laboratory samples). There can be no new cases, ever. Even if a similar virus evolved, it’d be a different disease the same way COVID and SARS are different diseases.

Smallpox is definitely not rising again. It was eradicated. That’s why that chart ends at 0.
Are there other diseases on the rise because of antivax idiots? Certainly. But smallpox ain’t one of them.
