The 2020 Worldwide Corona Crisis: Destroying Civil Society, Engineered Economic Depression, Global Coup d’État and the “Great Reset”

The fear campaign has served as an instrument of disinformation .
In the course of the last eleven months starting in early January , I have analyzed almost on a daily basis the timeline and evolution of the Covid crisis .
From the very outset in January 2020 , people were led to believe and accept the existence of a rapidly progressing and dangerous epidemic .
Media lies sustained the image of a killer virus which initially contributed to destabilizing US-China trade and disrupting air travel .
And then in February “ V- the Virus ” ( which incidentally is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ responsible for triggering the most serious financial crisis in World history .
And then on March 11 , a lockdown was imposed on 193 member states on the United Nations , leading to the “ closure ” of national economies Worldwide .
Starting in October , a “ second wave ” was announced .
“ The pandemic is not over ” .
The fear campaign prevails .
And people are now led to believe that the corona vaccine sponsored by their governments is the “ solution ” .
And that “ normality ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the planet has been vaccinated .
How is it that a vaccine for the SARS-CoV-2 virus , which under normal conditions would take years to develop , was promptly launched in early November 2020 ?
The vaccine announced by Pfizer is based on an experimental gene editing mRNA technology which has a bearing on the human genome .
Were the standard animal lab tests using mice or ferrets conducted ?
Or did Pfizer “ go straight to human “ guinea pigs.
” ?
Human tests began in late July and early August @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for testing a new vaccine .
Several years is the norm.
” Our thanks to Large and JIPÉM This caricature by Large + JIPÉM explains our predicament : Barely reported by the media : “ Six people died in Pfizer ’ s late-stage trial of the COVID-19 vaccine , the FDA revealed just hours after Britain became the first country in the world to roll out the vaccine.
” “ Rest assured ” , the vaccine is “ safe ” .
According to the FDA : And why do we need a vaccine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) have confirmed unequivocally that Covid-19 is “ similar to seasonal influenza ” .
The plan to develop a vaccine is profit driven .
It is supported by corrupt governments serving the interests of Big Pharma .
The US government had already ordered 100 million doses back in July and the EU is to purchase 300 million doses .
It ’ s Big Money for Big Pharma , generous payoffs to corrupt politicians , at the expense of tax payers .
In the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ virus and the controversial RT-PCR test which is being used to “ identify the virus ” as well establish the “ estimates ” of the so-called “ positive cases ” .
( Chapter II ) In Chapter III , we examine in detail the timeline of events since October 2019 leading up to the historic March 11 , 2020 lockdown .
We assess the broad economic and social consequences of this crisis including the process of Worldwide impoverishment and redistribution of wealth in favour of the Super Rich billionaires .
( Chapter IV @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vaccination programme which is slated to be imposed on millions of people Worldwide is reviewed in Chapter VII .
Chapter IX concludes with an analysis of the World Economic Forum ’ s proposed “ Great Reset ” which if adopted would consist in scrapping the Welfare State and imposing massive austerity measures on an impoverished population .
This E-Book is preliminary .
There is a sense of urgency .
People Worldwide are being lied to by their governments .
A word on the methodology : our objective is to refute the “ Big @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : • None Scientific analysis and detailed review of “ official ” data , estimates and definitions , • None Analysis of the impacts of WHO “ guidelines ” and government policies .
Our objective is to inform people Worldwide and refute the official narrative which has been used as a pretext and justification to destabilize the economic and social fabric of entire countries .
This crisis affects humanity in its entirety : 7.8 billion people .
We stand in solidarity with our fellow human beings Worldwide .
Truth is a powerful instrument @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and to the Global Research team .

What changed ?
The science didn ’ t change .
The politics did .
This is about compliance .
It ’ s not about science… ( Dr. James Meehan ) “ Once the Lie Becomes the Truth , there is No Moving Backwards .
Insanity prevails .
The world is turned upside down.
” ( Michel Chossudovsky ) We are at the crossroads of one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ history .
We are living history , yet our understanding of the flow of events since January 2020 has been blurred .
Worldwide , people have been misled both by their governments and the media as to the causes and devastating consequences of the Covid-19 “ pandemic ” .
The unspoken truth is that the novel coronavirus provides a pretext and a justification to powerful financial interests and corrupt politicians to precipitate the entire World into a spiral of mass unemployment , bankruptcy , extreme poverty and despair .
This is the true @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is the result of a complex decision-making process .
“ Planet Lockdown ” is an encroachment on civil liberties and the “ Right to Life ” .
Entire national economies are in jeopardy .
In some countries martial law has been declared .
Small and medium sized capital are slated to be eliminated .
Big capital prevails .
Its a diabolical “ New World Order ” in the making .
Red Zones , the facemask , social distancing , the closing down of schools , colleges and universities , no more family gatherings @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the arts : no more cultural events , sport events are suspended , no more weddings , “ love and life ” is banned outright .
And in several countries , Christmas reunions are illegal .
Closing down the Global Economy is presented to us as a means to combating the Virus .
That ’ s what they want us to believe .
If the public had been informed that Covid-19 is “ similar to seasonal Influenza ” , the fear campaign would have fallen flat… The Pandemic was officially launched by the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the Lockdown and closure of the national economies of 190 ( out of 193 ) countries , member states of the United Nations .
The instructions came from above , from Wall Street , the World Economic Forum ( WEF ) , the billionaire foundations .
The March 11 , 2020 pandemic was preceded by a WHO Public Health Emergency of International Concern ( PHEIC ) on January 30th , 2020 which was followed in February by the destabilization of financial markets .
On January 30th there were 83 cases outside China @ @ @ @ @ @ @ billion .
In the days preceding the February Financial Crash there were 453 cases outside China .
( See our analysis in Chapter II ) This diabolical project based on scanty and flawed estimates is casually described by the corporate media as a “ humanitarian ” endeavour .
The “ international community ” has a “ Responsibility to Protect ” ( R2P ) .
In the words of Diana Johnstone , it ’ s “ The Global Pretext ” .
An unelected “ public-private partnership ” under the auspices of the World Economic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the rescue of Planet Earth ’ s 7.8 billion people .
The closure of the global economy is presented as a means to “ killing the virus ” .
Sounds absurd .
Closing down the real economy of Planet Earth is not the “ solution ” but rather the “ cause ” of a diabolical process of Worldwide destabilization and impoverishment .
The national economy combined with political , social and cultural institutions is the basis for the “ reproduction of real life ” : income , employment , production , trade @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the economy of Planet Earth can not constitute a “ solution ” to combating the virus .
But that is the imposed “ solution ” which they want us to believe in .
And that is what they are doing .
It ’ s the destruction of people ’ s lives .
It is the destabilization of civil society .
The Lies are sustained by a massive media disinformation campaign .
24/7 , Incessant and Repetitive “ Covid alerts ” for the last eleven months .
… It is a process of social @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hike up the numbers so as to justify the Lockdown .
And now there is a so-called “ Second Wave ” .
Millions of covid-Positive Tests are now being tabulated .
Covid-19 is portrayed as the “ killer Virus ” .
People are frightened and puzzled .
“ Why would they do this ?
” In France “ Churches are threatened with Kalashnikovs over Covid-19 outbreak ” ( April 2020 ) Medical doctors who question the official narrative are threatened .
They loose their jobs .
Their careers are destroyed .
Those who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ anti-social psychopaths ” : Peer reviewed psychological “ studies ” are currently being carried in several countries using sample surveys .
Accept the “ big Lie ” and you are tagged as a “ good person ” with “ empathy ” who understands the feelings of others .
… [ E ] xpress reservations regarding … social distancing and the wearing of the face mask , and you will be tagged ( according to “ scientific opinion ” ) as a “ callous and deceitful psychopath ” .
In colleges and universities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conform and endorse the official covid narrative .
Questioning the legitimacy of the lockdown in online “ classrooms ” could lead to dismissal .
Google is marketing the Big Lie .
The opinions of prominent scientists who question the lockdown , the face-mask or social distancing are “ taken down ” : The COVID-19 crisis is marked by a public health “ emergency ” under WHO auspices which is being used as a pretext and a justification to trigger a Worldwide process of economic , social and political restructuring .
The tendency is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Social engineering is being applied .
Governments are pressured into extending the lockdown , despite its devastating economic and social consequences .
There is no scientific basis for implementing the closing down of the global economy as a means to resolving a public health crisis .
Both the media and the governments are involved in spreading disinformation .
The fear campaign has no scientific basis .
Your governments are LYING .
In fact they are lying to themselves .
How Is It Tested ?
How Is It Measured ?
Are we dealing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a pandemic ?
The fear campaign is relentlessly spearheaded by political statements and media disinformation .
A closer examination of official reports from national health authorities as well as peer reviewed articles provides a totally different picture .
According to an early report by the WHO pertaining to China ’ s epidemic : Lies through omission : the media has failed to reassure the broader public .
Below is the official WHO definition of Covid-19 : Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses which may cause illness in animals or humans .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cause respiratory infections ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome ( MERS ) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome ( SARS ) .
The most recently discovered coronavirus causes coronavirus disease COVID-19 .
The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever , dry cough , and tiredness .
… These symptoms are usually mild and begin gradually .
Some people become infected but only have very mild symptoms .
Most people ( about 80 % ) recover from the disease without needing hospital treatment .
Around @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gets COVID-19 becomes seriously ill and develops difficulty breathing .
“ COVID-19 is similar to SARS-1″ : According to Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg , pneumonia is “ regularly caused or accompanied by corona viruses ” .
Immunologists broadly confirm the CDC definition .
COVID-19 has similar features to a seasonal influenza coupled with pneumonia .
According to Anthony Fauci ( Head of NIAID ) , H. Clifford Lane and Robert R. Redfield ( Head of CDC ) in the New England Journal of Medicine …the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ influenza ( which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1 % ) or a pandemic influenza ( similar to those in 1957 and 1968 ) rather than a disease similar to SARS or MERS , which have had case fatality rates of 9 to 10 % and 36 % , respectively .
Dr. Anthony Fauci is lying to himself .
In his public statements he says that Covid is “ Ten Times Worse than Seasonal Flu ” .
He refutes his peer reviewed report quoted above .
From the outset , Fauci @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and panic campaign across America : Covid-19 versus Influenza ( Flu ) Virus A and Virus B ( and subtypes ) ( Bear in mind seasonal influenza is not a coronavirus ) Rarely mentioned by the media or by politicians : The CDC ( which is an agency of the US government ) confirms that Covid-19 is similar to Influenza If the public had been informed and reassured that Covid is “ similar to Influenza ” , the fear campaign would have fallen flat .
The lockdown and closure of the national economy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Virus .
Estimating and Tabulating the Numbers .
The Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction Test ( RT-PCR ) The standard test used to “ detect / identify ” SARS-2 around the World is The Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction Test ( RT-PCR ) which is used to estimate and tabulate the number of so-called “ confirmed ” positive Covid-19 cases .
( This is not the only test used .
Observations below pertain solely to the standard PCR ) .
According to Nobel Laureate Dr. Kary Mullis who invented the PCR test @ @ @ @ @ @ @ May 7 , 2013 ) : PCR detects a very small segment of the nucleic acid which is part of a virus itself .
The specific fragment detected is determined by the somewhat arbitrary choice of DNA primers used which become the ends of the amplified fragment.
” Below are the official definitions and procedures which are contradictory : “ The COVID-19 RT-PCR test is a real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction ( rRT-PCR ) test for the qualitative detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2 in upper and lower respiratory specimens … collected @ @ @ @ @ @ @ [ as well as ] from individuals without symptoms or other reasons to suspect COVID-19 infection .
… This test is also for use with individual nasal swab specimens that are self-collected using the Pixel by LabCorp COVID-19 test home collection kit … The COVID-19 RT-PCR test is also for the qualitative detection of nucleic acid from the SARS-CoV-2 in pooled samples , using a matrix pooling strategy ( FDA , LabCorp Laboratory Test Number : 139900 ) This test is based on upper and lower respiratory specimens .
The criteria and guidelines @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus ( 2019-nCoV ) Diagnostic Panel ” are as follows ( Read carefully ) : On January 23 , 2020 , in the scientific journal , of the EU Center for Disease Prevention and Control , Dr. Christian Drosten , along with several colleagues from the Berlin Virology Institute at Charité Hospital , [ together ] with the head of a small Berlin biotech company , TIB Molbiol Syntheselabor GmbH , published a study entitled , “ Detection of 2019 novel coronavirus ( 2019-nCoV ) by real-time RT-PCR ” ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In the UK , according to a Daily Telegraph May 21 report : “ samples taken from the same patient are being recorded as two separate tests in the Government ’ s official figures ” .
This is only one example of data manipulation .
In the US , clinics are paid ( $ $ $ ) to hike up the number of Covid-19 admissions .
A probable case does not require a lab exam : “ Meets vital records criteria with no confirmatory lab testing ” ( see form above ) The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and “ presumptive ” positive cases since January 21 , 2020 .
Yet what it fails to make public is that among the confirmed and presumptive cases , a large number of Americans have recovered .
But nobody talks about recovery .
It does not make the headlines .
The Falsification of Death Certificates in the U.S. At the outset of the pandemic , the CDC had been instructed to change the methodology regarding Death Certificates with a view to artificially inflating the numbers of “ Covid deaths ” .
According to H. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The 2003 guidelines for establishing death certificates had been cancelled .
“ Had the CDC used its industry standard , Medical Examiners ’ and Coroners ’ Handbook on Death Registration and Fetal Death Reporting Revision 2003 , as it has for all other causes of death for the last 17 years , the COVID-19 fatality count would be approximately 90.2 % lower than it currently is.
” ( Covid-19 : Questionable Policies , Manipulated Rules of Data Collection and Reporting .

The latest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the deaths attributed to Covid have “ comorbidities ” , ( i.e .
deaths dues other causes ) .
For 6 % of the deaths , COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned .
For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19 , on average , there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death .
The number of deaths with each condition or cause is shown for all deaths and by age groups .
On March 21 , 2020 the following specific guidelines were introduced by the CDC regarding Death Certificates @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Vital Statistics System ( NVSS ) The CDC ’ s “ More Often than Not ” Clause Falsifies the Cause of Death ?
These specific guidelines have indelibly contributed to increasing Covid-19 as the recorded “ cause of death ” And this despite the fact that the use of RT-PCR test provides misleading results .
The coronavirus was initially named 2019-nCoV by the WHO , the same name as that adopted at the October 18 , 2019 201 Simulation exercise under the auspices of the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Health , Centre @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the Gates Foundation and World Economic Forum ) .

January 22 , 2020 : WHO .
Members of the WHO Emergency Committee “ expressed divergent views on whether this event constitutes a PHEIC or not ” .
The Committee meeting was reconvened on January 23 , 2020 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Davos ( January 21-24 , 2020 ) .
The meeting of the Emergency Committee convened by the WHO Director-General under the International Health Regulations ( IHR ) ( 2005 ) expressed divergent views on whether this event constitutes a PHEIC or not .
At that time , the advice was that the event did not constitute a PHEIC , but the Committee members agreed on the urgency of the situation and suggested that the Committee should be reconvened in a matter of days to examine the situation further .
January 21-24 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Forum , Davos , Switzerland under auspices of the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations ( CEPI ) for development of a vaccine program .
CEPI is a WEF-Gates partnership .
With support from CEPI , Seattle based Moderna will manufacture an mRNA vaccine against 2019-nCoV , “ The Vaccine Research Center ( VRC ) of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases ( NIAID ) , part of NIH , collaborated with Moderna to design the vaccine.
” Note : The development of a 2019 nCoV vaccine was announced at Davos , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2020 announcement , and barely a week prior to the official launching of the WHO ’ s Worldwide Public Health emergency on January 30 .
The WEF-Gates-CEPI Vaccine Announcement precedes the WHO Public Health Emergency ( PHEIC ) Dominant financial interests , billionaire foundations and international financial institutions played a key role in launching the WHO Public Health Emergency ( PHEIC ) .
In the week preceding this historic WHO decision .
The PHEIC was the object of “ consultations ” at the World Economic Forum ( WEF ) , Davos ( January @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dr. Tedros was present at Davos .
Were these consultations instrumental in influencing the WHO ’ s historic decision on January 30th .
Was there a Conflict of Interest as defined by the WHO ?
The WHO ’ s largest donor is the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation , which together with the WEF and CEPI had already announced in Davos the development of a Covid-19 vaccine prior to the historic January 30th launching of the PHEIC .
January 28 , 2020 : The US Centre for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had been isolated .
The WHO Director General had the backing of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation , Big Pharma and the World Economic Forum ( WEF ) .
There are indications that the decision for the WHO to declare a Global Health Emergency was taken on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum ( WEF ) in Davos ( January 21-24 ) overlapping with the Geneva January 22 meeting of the Emergency Committee .
The WHO ’ s Director Tedros was present at Davos 2020 .
At Davos , the Gates @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vaccines over the next 10 years .
This pledge was made in Davos , Switzerland , barely a week prior to the WHO decision to launch the PHEIC .
The Worldwide population outside China is of the order of 6.4 billion .
On January 30 , 2020 outside China there were : 83 cases in 18 countries , and only 7 of them had no history of travel in China .
( see WHO , January 30 , 2020 ) .
On January 29 , 2020 , the day preceding the launching of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) , there were 5 cases in the US , 3 in Canada , 4 in France , 4 in Germany .
There was no “ scientific basis ” to justify the launching of a Worldwide public health emergency .
Those ridiculously low numbers ( not mentioned by the media ) were used to spearhead a Worldwide fear campaign .
On the following day ( January 31 , 2020 ) , Trump announced that he would deny entry to the US of both Chinese and foreign nationals “ who have traveled in China @ @ @ @ @ @ @ This immediately triggered a crisis in air travel , transportation , US-China trade relations as well as freight and shipping transactions .
Whereas the WHO “ [ did ] not recommend any travel or trade restrictions ” the five so-called “ confirmed cases ” in the US were sufficient to “ justify ” President Trump ’ s January 31st decision to suspend air travel to China while precipitating a hate campaign against ethnic Chinese throughout the Western World .
This historic January 31st decision paved the way towards the disruption of international commodity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ air travel .
“ Fake media ” immediately went into high gear .
China was held responsible for “ spreading infection ” Worldwide .
Early February : the acronym of the coronavirus was changed from nCoV- 2019 ( its name under the October Event 201 John Hopkins Simulation Exercise before it was identified in early January 2020 ) to COVID-19 .
While China reported a total of 75,567 cases of COVID-19 , ( February 20 ) the confirmed cases outside China were abysmally low and the statistics based in large part on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Worldwide spread of the virus ” were questionable to say the least .
Moreover , out of the 75,567 cases in China , a large percentage had recovered .
And recovery figures were not acknowledged by the media .
O n the day of Dr. Tedros ’ historic press conference ( February 20 , 2020 ) the recorded number of confirmed cases outside China was 1073 of which 621 were passengers and crew on the Diamond Princess Cruise Ship ( stranded in Japanese territorial waters ) .
From a statistical point of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a potential “ spread of the virus Worldwide ” did not make sense .
On February 20th , 57.9 % of the Worldwide Covid-19 “ confirmed cases ” were from the Diamond Princess , hardly representative of a Worldwide “ statistical trend ” .The official story is as follows : • A Hong Kong based passenger who had disembarked from the Diamond Princess in Hong Kong on January 25 developed pneumonia and was tested positive for the novela coronavirus on January 30 .
• He was reported to have travelled on January 10 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which borders on Hong Kong ’ s new territories ) .
• The Diamond Princess arrived at Yokohama on February 3 .
A quarantine was imposed on the cruiser See NCBI study .
• Many passengers fell sick due to the confinement on the boat .
• All the passengers and crew on the Diamond Princess undertook the PCR test .
• The number of confirmed cases increased to 691 on February 23 .
Read carefully : From the standpoint of assessing Worldwide statistical trends , the data doesn ’ t stand up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the so-called confirmed cases worldwide outside China on February 2oth would have been of the order of 452 , out of a population of 6.4 billion .
Examine the WHO Graph below .
The blue indicates the confirmed cases on the Diamond Princess ( international conveyance ) ( which arrived in Yokohama on February 3 , 2020 ) , many of whom were sick , confined to their rooms for more than two weeks ( quarantine imposed by Japan ) .
All passengers and crew took the RT-PCR test ( which does not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to say , this so-called data was instrumental in spearheading the fear campaign and the collapse of financial markets in the course of the month of February .
( see section below ) February 20th , 2020 : At a press conference on Thursday the 20th of February afternoon ( CET Time ) in a briefing in Geneva , the WHO Director General .
Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus , said that he was February 28 , 2020 : A WHO vaccination campaign was announced by WHO Director General Dr. More than 20 vaccines @ @ @ @ @ @ @ therapeutics are in clinical trials .
We expect the first results in a few weeks..
The campaign to develop vaccines was initiated prior to decision of the WHO to launch a Global Public Health emergency .
It was first announced at the WEF meeting at Davos ( 21-24 January ) by CEPI .
Early March : China : More than 50 % of the infected patients recovered and were discharged from the hospitals .
A total of 49,856 patients have recovered from COVID-19 and were discharged from hospitals in China .
( WHO @ @ @ @ @ @ @ total number of “ confirmed infected cases ” in China is 30,448 .
( Namely 80,304 minus 49856 = 30,448 ( 80 304 is the total number on confirmed cases in China ( WHO data , March 3 , 2020 ) .
These developments concerning “ recovery ” are not reported by the Western media .
March 5 , WHO Director General confirms that outside China there are 2055 cases reported in 33 countries .
Around 80 % of those cases continue to come from just three countries ( South Korea , Iran @ @ @ @ @ @ @ USA : The number of “ confirmed cases ” ( infected and recovered ) in the United States in early March is of the order of 430 , rising to about 6oo ( March 8 ) .
Rapid rise in the course of March .
Compare that to the figures pertaining to the Influenza B Virus : The CDC estimates for 2019-2020 “ at least 15 million virus flu illnesses… 140,000 hospitalizations and 8,200 deaths .
( The Hill ) March 7 : China : The Pandemic is Almost Over Reported new cases @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 99 cases recorded on March 7 .
All of the new cases outside Hubei province are categorized as “ imported infections ” ( from foreign countries ) .

Introduction of Covid Vaccine There is an ongoing battle to suppress Hydroxychloroquine ( HCQ ) , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ treatment of Covid-19 .
The campaign against HCQ is carried out through slanderous political statements , media smears , not to mention an authoritative peer reviewed “ evaluation ” published on May 22nd by The Lancet , which was based on fake figures and test trials .
The study was allegedly based on data analysis of 96,032 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 between Dec 20 , 2019 , and April 14 , 2020 from 671 hospitals Worldwide .
The database had been fabricated .
The objective was to kill the Hydroxychloroquine ( HCQ ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ While article was retracted , the media casually blamed “ a tiny US based company ” named Surgisphere whose employees included “ a sci-fi writer and adult content model ” for spreading “ flawed data ” ( Guardian ) .
This Chicago based outfit was accused of having misled both the WHO and national governments , inciting them to ban HCQ .
None of those trial tests actually took place .
While the blame was placed on Surgisphere , the unspoken truth ( which neither the scientific community nor the media have acknowledged @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by Harvard professor Mandeep Mehra under the auspices of Brigham and Women ’ s Hospital ( BWH ) which is a partner of the Harvard Medical School .
When the scam was revealed , Dr. Mandeep Mehra who holds the Harvey Distinguished Chair of Medicine at Brigham and Women ’ s Hospital apologized : But that “ truly sorry ” note was just the tip of the iceberg .
Why ?
The Studies respectively on Gilead Science ’ s Remdesivir and on Hydroxychloroquine ( HCQ ) Were Conducted Simultaneously by Brigham and Women @ @ @ @ @ @ @ report ( May 22 , 2020 ) coordinated by Dr. Mandeep Mehra was intended “ to kill ” the legitimacy of HCQ as a cure of Covid-19 , another important ( related ) study was being carried out ( concurrently ) at BWH pertaining to Remdesivir on behalf of Gilead Sciences Inc. Dr. Francisco Marty , a specialist in Infectious Disease and Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School was entrusted with coordination of the clinical trial tests of the antiviral medication Remdesivir under Brigham ’ s contract with Gilead Sciences Inc : While @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the Gilead Remdesivir BWH study under the supervision of his colleague Dr. Francisco Marty , he nonetheless had contacts with Gilead Sciences Inc : “ He participated in a conference sponsored by Gilead in early April 2020 as part of the Covid-19 debate ” ( France Soir , May 23 , 2020 ) URL What was the intent of his ( failed ) study ?
To undermine the legitimacy of Hydroxychloroquine ?
According to France Soir , in a report published after The Lancet Retraction : Was Dr. Mandeep Mehra in conflict @ @ @ @ @ @ @ matter for BWH and the Harvard Medical School to decide upon ) .
Who are the Main Actors ?
Dr. Anthony Fauci , advisor to Donald Trump , portrayed as “ America ’ s top infectious disease expert ” has played a key role in smearing the HCQ cure which had been approved years earlier by the CDC as well as providing legitimacy to Gilead ’ s Remdesivir .
Dr. Fauci has been the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases ( NIAID ) since the Reagan administration .
He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for Big Pharma .
Dr. Fauci launched Remdesivir in late June ( see details below ) .
According to Fauci , Remdesivir is the “ corona wonder drug ” developed by Gilead Science Inc.
It ’ s a $ 1.6 billion dollar bonanza .
Gilead Sciences Inc is a Multibillion dollar bio-pharmaceutical company which is now involved in developing and marketing Remdesivir .

It was co-authored by an impressive list of 56 distinguished medical doctors and scientists , many of whom were recipients of consulting fees from Gilead Sciences Inc. Gilead Sciences Inc. funded the study which included several staff members as co-authors .
The NEJM article states that “ Gilead Sciences Inc began accepting requests from clinicians for compassionate use of remdesivir on January 25 , 2020 ” .
From whom , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( January 30 , 2020 ) there were 82 cases in 18 countries outside China of which 5 were in the US , 5 in France and 3 in Canada .
Several prominent physicians and scientists have cast doubt on the Compassionate Use of Remdesivir study conducted by Gilead , focussing on the small size of the trial .
Ironically , the number of patients in the test is less that the number of co-authors : “ 53 patients ” versus “ 56 co-authors ” Below we provide excerpts of scientific statements on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Centre emphasis added ) published immediately following the release of the NEJM article : “ ‘ Compassionate use ’ is better described as using an unlicensed therapy to treat a patient because there are no other treatments available .
Research based on this kind of use should be treated with extreme caution because there is no control group or randomisation , which are some of the hallmarks of good practice in clinical trials .
Prof Duncan Richard , Clinical Therapeutics , University of Oxford .
“ It is critical not to over-interpret this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ impossible to know the outcome for this relatively small group of patients had they not received remdesivir .
Dr Stephen Griffin , Associate Professor , School of Medicine , University of Leeds .
“ The research is interesting but doesn ’ t prove anything at this point : the data are from a small and uncontrolled study .
Simon Maxwell , Professor of Clinical Pharmacology and Prescribing , University of Edinburgh .
“ The data from this paper are almost uninterpretable .
It is very surprising , perhaps even unethical , that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more appropriate to publish the data on the website of the pharmaceutical company that has sponsored and written up the study .
At least Gilead have been clear that this has not been done in the way that a high quality scientific paper would be written .
Prof Stephen Evans , Professor of Pharmacoepidemiology , London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine .
“ It ’ s very hard to draw useful conclusions from uncontrolled studies like this particularly with a new disease where we really don ’ t know what to expect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ places and over time .
One really has to question the ethics of failing to do randomisation – this study really represents more than anything else , a missed opportunity.

To review the complete document of Science Media Centre pertaining to expert assessments click here April 29 : The National Institutes of Health ( NIH ) Study on Remdesivir .
On April 29th following the publication of the Gilead Sciences Inc Study in the NEJM on April 10 , a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Health ( NIH ) on Remdesivir was released .
The full document was published on May 22 , by the NEJM under the title : Remdesivir for the Treatment of Covid-19 — Preliminary Report ( NEJM ) The study had been initiated on February 21 , 2020 .
The title of the April 29 Press Release was : It ’ s a government sponsored report which includes preliminary data from a randomized trial involving 1063 hospitalized patients .
The results of the trial labelled Adaptive COVID-19 Treatment Trial ( ACTT ) are preliminary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Fauci ’ s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases ( NIAID ) : In the NIH ’ s earlier February 21 , 2020 report ( released at the outset of the study ) , the methodology was described as follows : The February 21 report confirmed that the first trial participant was “ an American who was repatriated after being quarantined on the Diamond Princess cruise ship ” that docked in Yokohama ( Japanese Territorial Waters ) .
“ Thirteen people repatriated by the U.S. State Department from the Diamond Princess cruise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the placebo trial test .
Ironically , at the outset of the study , 58.7 % of the “ confirmed cases ” Worldwide ( 542 cases out of 924 ) ( outside China ) , were on the Diamond Cruise Princess from which the initial trial placebo patients were selected .
Where and When : The trial test in the 68 selected sites ?
That came at a later date because on February 19th ( WHO data ) , the US had recorded only 15 positive cases ( see Table Below ) .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ entitled Remdesivir for the Treatment of Covid-19 — Preliminary Report : The government ’ s first rigorous clinical trial of the experimental drug remdesivir as a coronavirus treatment delivered mixed results to the medical community Wednesday — but rallied stock markets and raised hopes that an early weapon to help some patients was at hand .
The preliminary results , disclosed at the White House by Anthony Fauci , chief of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases , which led the placebo-controlled trial found that the drug accelerated the recovery of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ benefit in the rate of death .
… Fauci ’ s remarks boosted speculation that the Food and Drug Administration would seek emergency use authorization that would permit doctors to prescribe the drug .
In addition to clinical trials , remdesivir has been given to more than 1,000 patients under compassionate use .

Immediately folllowing its publication , the media went into high gear , smearing the HCQ cure , while applauding the NIH-NIASD report released on the same day .

June 29 : Fauci Greenlight .
The $ 1.6 Billion Remdesivir Contract with Gilead Sciences Inc Dr. Anthony Fauci granted the “ Greenlight ” to Gilead @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The semi-official US government NIH-NIAID sponsored report ( May 22 ) entitled Remdesivir for the Treatment of Covid-19 — Preliminary Report ( NEJM ) was used to justify a major agreement with Gilead Sciences Inc. ( A Final Report was Released on November 5 , 2020 ) The Report was largely funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases ( NIAID ) headed by Dr. Anthony Fauci and the National Institutes of Health ( NIH ) .
On June 29 , based on the findings of the NIH-NIAID Report published @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Health and Human Services ( HHS ) announced on behalf of the Trump Adminstration an agreement to secure large supplies of the remdesivir drug from Gilead Sciences Inc. for the treatment of Covid-19 in America ’ s private hospitals and clinics .
The earlier Gilead study based on scanty test results published in the NEJM ( April 10 ) , of 53 cases ( and 56 co-authors ) was not highlighted .
The results of this study had been questioned by several prominent physicians and scientists .
Who will be able to afford @ @ @ @ @ @ @ envisaged at $ 3,200 per patient , namely $ 1.6 billion ( see the study by Elizabeth Woodworth ) The Drug was also approved for marketing in the European Union .
under the brandname Veklury .
If this contract is implemented as planned , it represents for Gilead Science Inc. and the recipient US private hospitals and clinics a colossal amount of money .
[ error in above title according to HHS : $ 3200 ] URL According to The Trump Administration ’ s HHS Secretary Alex Azar ( June 29 , 2020 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on May 22 ) was intended to undermine the legitimacy of Hydroxychloroquine as an effective cure to Covid-19 , with a view to sustaining the $ 1.6 billion agreement between the HHS and Gilead Sciences Inc. on June 29th .
The legitmacy of this agreement rested on the May 22 NIH-NIAID study in the NEJM which was considered “ preliminary ” .
What Dr. Fauci failed to acknowledge is that Chloroquine had been “ studied ” and tested fifteen years ago by the CDC as a drug to be used against coronavirus infections @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recently in the treatment of Covid-19 in several countries .
According to the Virology Journal ( 2005 ) ( See below ) “ Chloroquine is a potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus infection and spread ” .
It was used in the SARS-1 outbreak in 2002 .
It had the endorsement of the CDC .
HCQ is not only effective , it is “ inexpensive ” when compared to Remdesivir , at an estimated “ $ 3120 for a US Patient with private insurance ” .
The Second Wave of the pandemic commenced in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was launched in early November .
Worldwide , people are led to believe that the corona vaccine is a solution .
And that “ normality ” will then be restored .
How is it that a vaccine for the SARS-CoV-2 virus , which under normal conditions would take years to develop , was promptly launched on the 9th of November ?
Moreover , the vaccine announced by Pfizer is based on an experimental gene editing mRNA technology which has a bearing on the human genome .
Coupled with the vaccine initiative is the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will be imposed on entire populations .
And why do we need a vaccine for Covid-19 when the WHO , the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) as well as numerous scientists have confirmed unequivocally that Covid-19 is “ similar to seasonal influenza ” .
( See our analysis in Chapter II ) .
The drive to develop a vaccine is profit driven .
It is supported by corrupt governments serving the interests of Big Pharma and Big Money .
The US government had already ordered 100 million doses @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to purchase 300 million doses .
It would appear that the standard lab tests using ferrets and mice will not be conducted .
Pfizer has “ gone straight to human “ guinea pigs.
” … ( See Incisive analysis by F. William Engdahl , Global Research , November 2020 ) “ Human tests began in late July and early August [ 2020 ] .
Three months is unheard of for testing a new vaccine .
Several years is the norm.
” This caricature by Large + JIPÉM explains our predicament : Mouse No @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get Vaccinated ” , Mouse No .
2 : Are You Crazy , They Haven ’ t finished the Tests on Humans ” Dr. Michael Yeadon , a former Vice President of Pfizer has taken a firm stance : “ All vaccines against the SARS-COV-2 virus are by definition novel .
No candidate vaccine has been… in development for more than a few months.
” : “ If any such vaccine is approved for use under any circumstances that are not EXPLICITLY experimental , I believe that recipients are being misled to a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Michael Yeadon together with Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg “ filed an application with the EMA , the European Medicine Agency responsible for EU-wide drug approval , for the immediate suspension of all SARS CoV 2 vaccine studies , in particular the BioNtech/Pfizer study on BNT162b ( EudraCT number 2020-002641-42 ) .
It is important to review the complex history of the novel vaccine .
There are many contradictions .
The analysis below addresses the earlier stages of the vaccine project as well as the role of the 201 Simulation under the auspices of John @ @ @ @ @ @ @ York on October 19 , 2019 .
The coronavirus was initially named nCoV-19 by CEPI and the WHO : exactly the same name as that adopted in the WEF-Gates-John Hopkins Event 201 ( 2019-nCov ) pertaining to a coronavirus simulation exercise held in Baltimore in mid October 2019 .
The Event 201 John Hopkins simulation addressed the development of an effective vaccine in response to millions of cases ( in the October 2019 simulation ) of the 2019 nCoV .
The simulation announced a scenario in which the entire population of the planet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ initial months of the pandemic , the cumulative number of cases [ in the simulation ] increases exponentially , doubling every week .
And as the cases and deaths accumulate , the economic and societal consequences become increasingly severe.
” According to the WEF Video below , produced in relation to the 201 Simulation , “ we ran a massive viral pandemic simulation.. , 65 million deaths Worlwide.
” .
See also the analysis of F. William Engdahl on the 201 Simulation Video Produced by the World Economic Forum in association with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ January 30th , the WHO defined the new virus as 2019-nCoV , i.e .
the same name as that used in the 201 simulation in October 2019 .
It was only later that Covid-19 was identified by the WHO not as a virus but as a disease : coronavirus disease ( COVID-19 ) , the Virus was identified as “ severe acute respiratory syndrome ” coronavirus 2 ( SARS-CoV-2 ) Two weeks after the virus had been formally identified by the PRC ( Jan 7 , 2020 ) , a vaccine for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Davos World Economic Forum , January 20-24 , 2020 .
The lead entity for the novel coronavirus vaccine initiative is the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations ( CEPI ) an organization sponsored and financed by the World Economic Forum ( WEF ) and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation .
Note the chronology : The development of the 2019 nCoV vaccine was announced at the Davos World Economic Forum ( WEF ) a week prior to the official launching by the WHO of a Worldwide Public Health Emergency ( January 30 ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ confirmed cases ” Worldwide ( outside China ) was 83 .
( see Chapter II ) The pandemic was launched by the WHO on March 11 .
And five days later , barely covered by the media , the first tests involving human volunteers were conducted by Moderna in Seattle on March 16 .
According to Richard Hatchett , CEO of the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations ( CEPI ) an organization sponsored and financed by the World Economic Forum ( WEF ) and the Gates Foundation the project to develop a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ discovery and identification of the coronavirus ( January 7 , 2020 ) but several months prior to the October 2019 simulation exercise .
“ We did that in the last year or so [ early 2019 ] .
… ” CEPI is seeking a “ monopoly ” role in the vaccination business the objective of which is a “ global vaccine project ” , in partnership with a large number of “ candidates ” .
It announced funding for its existing partnership with Inovio and The University of Queensland ( Australia ) .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ 23 ) its contract with Moderna , Inc. and the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases ( NIAID ) headed by Dr. Anthony Fauci , who has been instrumental in waging the fear and panic campaign across America : “ Ten Times Worse than Seasonal Flu ” .
( See WEF Video ) CEPI is dealing simultaneously with several pharmaceutical companies .
The Moderna- NIAID in all likelihood is slated to implement the COVID-19 vaccine in the US .
On January 31st , the day following the WHO ’ s official @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Trump ’ s decision to curtail air travel with China , CEPI announced its partnership with CureVac AG , a German-based biopharmaceutical company .
A few days later , in early February , CEPI “ announced that major vaccine manufacturer GSK would allow its proprietary adjuvants— compounds that boost the effectiveness of vaccines — to be used in the response ” .
( The pandemic was officially launched on March 11 ) There are many “ potential vaccines in the pipeline ” with “ dozens of research groups around the world racing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
CEPI ( on behalf of Gates-WEF , which funded the simulation exercise ) is currently playing a key role in a large scale ( global ? )
vaccination program in partnership with biotech companies , Big Pharma , government agencies as well as university laboratories .
The foregoing statement by CEPI was made nearly two months prior to the official declaration of a pandemic on March 11 .
“ We ’ re having conversations with a broad array of potential partners ” .
And critical to those conversations is : What ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quantities of vaccine within a time frame that is potentially relevant to what people seem to be increasingly certain will be a pandemic , if it isn ’ t already there ?
… ” [ Richard Hatchett , CEPI CEO in interview with stat.news.com ] .
… The underlying focus is to develop a global vaccine .
Of significance , Hatchett confirmed that the project to develop a vaccine commenced not only prior to the discovery and identification of the coronavirus ( January 2020 ) but several months prior to the October 2019 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ real life is in some regards similar to the October 2019 simulation exercise at John Hopkins .
The scenario is how to produce millions of vaccine shots on the presumption that the pandemic will spread .
and for that you need the positive cases to go fly high .
The CEPI sponsored vaccine conglomerates had already planned their investments well in advance of the global Worldwide health emergency : Moderna Inc based in Seattle is one of several candidates involved and supported by CEPI .
Moderna announced on February 24th the development of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ known as mRNA-1273″ .
“ The initial batch of the vaccine has already been shipped to U.S. government researchers from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases ( NIAID ) ” headed by Dr. Antony Fauci .
While Moderna Inc initially stated that the first clinical trials would commence in late April , tests involving human volunteers started in mid-March in Seattle : ( bear in mind the pandemic was officially launched on March 11 ) Even within the agency , the director of the WHO Collaborating Center for Epidemiology in Munster @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has essentially labeled the pandemic a hoax .
“ We are witnessing a gigantic misallocation of resources [ $ 18 billion so far ] in terms of public health , ” he said .
They ’ re right .
This wasn ’ t merely overcautiousness or simple misjudgment .
The pandemic declaration and all the Klaxon-ringing since reflect sheer dishonesty motivated not by medical concerns but political ones .
Unquestionably , swine flu has proved to be vastly milder than ordinary seasonal flu .
It kills at a third to a tenth the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Disease Control and Prevention estimates .
Data from other countries like France and Japan indicate it ’ s far tamer than that .
The study refers to the practice of “ collective narcissism ” , namely a common belief and practice by a so-called ‘ In-Group ” ( aka protest movement , collective of dissident medical doctors , scientists ) directed against the official corona virus “ truth ” ( aka the Big Lie ) .
Collective narcissism is embedded in what psychologists call the Dark Triad .
The traits , such as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Machiavellianism , psychopathy ) and collective narcissism … may have implications for how one copes with the virus… For example , individuals characterized by the Dark Triad traits may be less likely to follow governmentally-enforced restrictions related to COVID-19 The Term “ Agentic ” quoted above refers to “ goal-achievement ” .
And here is the Methodology We measured the Dark Triad traits ( Wave 2 ) … [ also with reference to ] the Dark Triad Dirty Dozen scale ( Jonason & Webster , 2010 ) .
The scale consists of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( e.g.
, “ ” ) , narcissism ( e.g.
, “ ” ) , and Machiavellianism ( e.g.
, “ I tend to manipulate others to get my way ” ) .
Participants indicated their agreement with each item ( 1 = , 5 = ) .
We averaged responses to create indices of each trait .
Sounds scientific .
What are the conclusions ?
We advanced the scope of the model by illustrating the relevance of dark personality traits in predicting both adaptive and maladaptive behaviors in response to the pandemic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Triad traits ) and group-focused ( i.e.
, collective narcissism ) personality traits.
” The read the full report click here emphasis added ) The Dark Triad Dirty Dozen ( DTDD ) consists of a broader “ personality inventory ” which assesses and measures the three personality components of the Dark Triad .
( see image right ) In substance , what this “ scientific report ” confirms is that people who question the covid-19 official narrative have “ malevolent personality disorders ” .
They are said to suffer from the Dirty Dozen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) .
When they act contiguously within a In-Group or a Protest movement ( E.g .
The August Mass Rally in Berlin ) , they are tagged as applying “ collective narcissism ” .
The framework of the above study is also envisaged for other countries in partnership ( with the Warsaw group ) .
Another related study is entitled : “ Who complies with the restrictions to reduce the spread of COVID-19 ?

It ’ s an inquisitorial doctrine , which could eventually evolve towards a digital witch hunt , far more sophisticated than the “ Spanish Inquisition ” .

Why are these Covid lockdown policies spearheading bankruptcy , poverty and unemployment ?
Global capitalism is not monolithic .
There is indeed “ A Class Conflict ” “ between the super-rich and the vast majority of the World population @ @ @ @ @ @ @ within the capitalist system .
Namely a conflict between “ Big Money Capital ” and what might be described as “ Real Capitalism ” which consists of corporations in different areas of productive activity at the national and regional levels .
It also includes small and medium sized enterprises .

The “ Real Economy ” constitutes “ the economic landscape ” of real economic activity : productive assets , agriculture , industry , services , economic and social infrastructure , investment , employment , etc .
The real economy at the global and national levels is being targeted by the lockdown and closure of economic activity .

The lockdown and closure of national economies triggers a second spree of mass unemployment coupled with the engineered bankruptcy ( applied Worldwide ) of small and medium sized enterprises .
All of which is spearheaded by the installation of a global totalitarian State which is intent upon breaking all forms of protest and resistance .

What we are dealing with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ Elected President ” Joe Biden is a groomed politician , a trusted proxy , serving the interests of the financial establishment .
Let ’ s not forget that Joe Biden was a firm supporter of the Invasion of Iraq on the grounds that Saddam Hussein “ had weapons of mass destruction ” .

Fox News describes him as a “ socialist ” who threatens capitalism : “ Joe Biden ’ s disturbing connection to the socialist ‘ Great Reset ’ movement ” .
While this is absolute nonsense , many “ progressives ” and anti-war activists have endorsed Joe Biden without analyzing the broader consequences of a Biden presidency .
The Great Reset is socially divisive , it ’ s racist .
It is a diabolical project of Global Capitalism .
It constitutes a threat to the large majority of Americans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ medium sized enterprises .
A Biden-Harris administration actively involved in carrying out the “ Great Reset ” is a threat to humanity .
With regard to Covid , Biden is firmly committed to the “ Second Wave ” , i.e .
maintaining the partial closing down of both the US economy and the global economy as a means to “ combating the killer virus ” .

” There can be no meaningful mass movement when dissent is generously funded by those same corporate interests [ WEF , Gates , Ford , et al ] which are the target of the protest movement ” .
More than 7 billion people Worldwide are directly or indirectly affected by the corona crisis .
What is required is the development of a broad based grassroots network which confronts both the architects of this crisis as well as the national and regional governments ( States , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lockdown and closure of economic activity as a means to combating “ V the Virus ” .
The legitimacy of politicians and their powerful corporate sponsors must be questioned , including the police state measures adopted to enforce the various policies .

This network would be established ( nationally and internationally ) at all levels of society , in towns and villages , work places , parishes .
Trade unions , farmers organizations , professional associations , business associations , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ groups would be called upon to integrate this movement .
The first task would be to disable the fear campaign and media disinformation as well put an end to Big Pharma ’ s Covid vaccination programme .

This endeavour would require a parallel process at the grassroots level , of sensitizing and educating fellow citizens on the nature of virus , the PCR test , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mask and social distancing .
“ Spreading the word ” through social media and independent online media outlets will be undertaken bearing in mind that Google as well as Facebook are instruments of censorship .
The creation of such a movement , which forcefully challenges the legitimacy of the financial elites as well as the structures of political authority at the national level , is no easy task .
It will require a degree of solidarity , unity and commitment unparalleled in World history .

It will also require eventually unseating the architects of this diabolical “ pandemic ” and indicting them for crimes against humanity .

Preface
The fear campaign has served as an instrument of disinformation.
In the course of the last eleven months starting in early January, I have analyzed almost on a daily basis the timeline and evolution of the Covid crisis. From the very outset in January 2020, people were led to believe and accept the existence of a rapidly progressing and dangerous epidemic.
Media lies sustained the image of a killer virus which initially contributed to destabilizing US-China trade and disrupting air travel. And then in February “V- the Virus” (which incidentally is similar to seasonal influenza) was held responsible for triggering the most serious financial crisis in World history.
And then on March 11, a lockdown was imposed on 193 member states on the United Nations, leading to the “closure” of national economies Worldwide.
Starting in October, a “second wave” was announced. “The pandemic is not over”.
The fear campaign prevails. And people are now led to believe that the corona vaccine sponsored by their governments is the “solution”. And that “normality” will be restored once the entire population of the planet has been vaccinated.
A Word on the SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine
How is it that a vaccine for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which under normal conditions would take years to develop, was promptly launched in early November 2020? The vaccine announced by Pfizer is based on an experimental gene editing mRNA technology which has a bearing on the human genome.
Were the standard animal lab tests using mice or ferrets conducted?
Or did Pfizer “go straight to human “guinea pigs.”? Human tests began in late July and early August. “Three months is unheard of for testing a new vaccine. Several years is the norm.”
Our thanks to Large and JIPÉM
This caricature by Large + JIPÉM explains our predicament:
Mouse No 1: “Are You Going to get Vaccinated”, Mouse No. 2: Are You Crazy, They Haven’t finished the Tests on Humans”
Barely reported by the media: “Six people died in Pfizer’s late-stage trial of the COVID-19 vaccine, the FDA revealed just hours after Britain became the first country in the world to roll out the vaccine.”
“Rest assured”, the vaccine is “safe”. According to the FDA:
the deaths are said to raise no new safety issues or questions about the vaccine’s effectiveness”.
And why do we need a vaccine for Covid-19 when both the WHO and the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have confirmed unequivocally that Covid-19 is “similar to seasonal influenza”.
The plan to develop a vaccine is profit driven. It is supported by corrupt governments serving the interests of Big Pharma. The US government had already ordered 100 million doses back in July and the EU is to purchase 300 million doses. It’s Big Money for Big Pharma, generous payoffs to corrupt politicians, at the expense of tax payers.
In the following chapters, we define the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the controversial RT-PCR test which is being used to “identify the virus” as well establish the “estimates” of the so-called “positive cases”.(Chapter II)
In Chapter III, we examine in detail the timeline of events since October 2019 leading up to the historic March 11, 2020 lockdown.
We assess the broad economic and social consequences of this crisis including the process of Worldwide impoverishment and redistribution of wealth in favour of the Super Rich billionaires.(Chapter IV and V)
Big Pharma’s vaccination programme which is slated to be imposed on millions of people Worldwide is reviewed in Chapter VII.
Chapter IX concludes with an analysis of the World Economic Forum’s proposed “Great Reset” which if adopted would consist in scrapping the Welfare State and imposing massive austerity measures on an impoverished population.
This E-Book is preliminary. There is a sense of urgency. People Worldwide are being lied to by their governments.
A word on the methodology: our objective is to refute the “Big Lie” through careful analysis consisting of:
A historical overview of the Covid crisis,
Scientific analysis and detailed review of “official” data, estimates and definitions,
Analysis of the impacts of WHO “guidelines” and government policies.
Our objective is to inform people Worldwide and refute the official narrative which has been used as a pretext and justification to destabilize the economic and social fabric of entire countries.
This crisis affects humanity in its entirety: 7.8 billion people. We stand in solidarity with our fellow human beings Worldwide. Truth is a powerful instrument.
I remain indebted to our readers and to the Global Research team.

Introduction
Destroying Civil Society. The Fear Campaign
“It is time for everyone to come out of this negative trance, this collective hysteria, because famine, poverty, mass unemployment will kill and destroy the lives of many more people than SARS-CoV-2! ” (Dr. Pascal Sacré)
“I’m seeing patients that have facial rashes, fungal infections, bacterial infections. … In February and March we were told not to wear masks. What changed? The science didn’t change. The politics did. This is about compliance. It’s not about science… (Dr. James Meehan)
“Once the Lie Becomes the Truth, there is No Moving Backwards. Insanity prevails. The world is turned upside down.” (Michel Chossudovsky)
***
We are at the crossroads of one of the most serious crises in World history. We are living history, yet our understanding of the flow of events since January 2020 has been blurred. Worldwide, people have been misled both by their governments and the media as to the causes and devastating consequences of the Covid-19 “pandemic”.
The unspoken truth is that the novel coronavirus provides a pretext and a justification to powerful financial interests and corrupt politicians to precipitate the entire World into a spiral of mass unemployment, bankruptcy, extreme poverty and despair.
This is the true picture of what is happening. It is the result of a complex decision-making process.
“Planet Lockdown” is an encroachment on civil liberties and the “Right to Life”.
Entire national economies are in jeopardy. In some countries martial law has been declared.
Small and medium sized capital are slated to be eliminated. Big capital prevails.
A massive concentration of corporate wealth is ongoing.
Its a diabolical “New World Order” in the making.
Red Zones, the facemask, social distancing, the closing down of schools, colleges and universities, no more family gatherings, no birthday celebrations, music, the arts: no more cultural events, sport events are suspended, no more weddings, “love and life” is banned outright.
And in several countries, Christmas reunions are illegal.
Closing down the Global Economy is presented to us as a means to combating the Virus. That’s what they want us to believe. If the public had been informed that Covid-19 is “similar to seasonal Influenza”, the fear campaign would have fallen flat…
The Pandemic was officially launched by the WHO on March 11, 2020 leading to the Lockdown and closure of the national economies of 190 (out of 193) countries, member states of the United Nations. The instructions came from above, from Wall Street, the World Economic Forum (WEF), the billionaire foundations.
The March 11, 2020 pandemic was preceded by a WHO Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) on January 30th, 2020 which was followed in February by the destabilization of financial markets. On January 30th there were 83 cases outside China out of a total population of 6.4 billion. In the days preceding the February Financial Crash there were 453 cases outside China. (See our analysis in Chapter II)
This diabolical project based on scanty and flawed estimates is casually described by the corporate media as a “humanitarian” endeavour. The “international community” has a “Responsibility to Protect” (R2P).
In the words of Diana Johnstone, it’s “The Global Pretext”. An unelected “public-private partnership” under the auspices of the World Economic Forum (WEF), has come to the rescue of Planet Earth’s 7.8 billion people. The closure of the global economy is presented as a means to “killing the virus”.
Sounds absurd. Closing down the real economy of Planet Earth is not the “solution” but rather the “cause” of a diabolical process of Worldwide destabilization and impoverishment.
The national economy combined with political, social and cultural institutions is the basis for the “reproduction of real life”: income, employment, production, trade, infrastructure, social services.
Destabilizing the economy of Planet Earth cannot constitute a “solution” to combating the virus. But that is the imposed “solution” which they want us to believe in. And that is what they are doing.
It’s the destruction of people’s lives. It is the destabilization of civil society.
The Lies are sustained by a massive media disinformation campaign. 24/7, Incessant and Repetitive “Covid alerts” for the last eleven months. … It is a process of social engineering.
What they want is to hike up the numbers so as to justify the Lockdown.
And now there is a so-called “Second Wave”. Millions of covid-Positive Tests are now being tabulated.
Covid-19 is portrayed as the “killer Virus”.
Destroying Civil Society
People are frightened and puzzled. “Why would they do this?”
Empty schools, Empty airports, bankrupt grocery stores.
In France “Churches are threatened with Kalashnikovs over Covid-19 outbreak” (April 2020)
to support effective contact tracing if necessary. The entire urban services economy is in crisis. Shops, bars and restaurants are driven into bankruptcy. International travel and holidays are suspended. Streets are empty. In several countries, bars and restaurants are required to take names and contact information . Free Speech is Suppressed The lockdown narrative is supported by media disinformation, online censorship, social engineering and the fear campaign.
Medical doctors who question the official narrative are threatened. They loose their jobs. Their careers are destroyed. Those who oppose the government lockdown are categorized as “anti-social psychopaths”:
Peer reviewed psychological “studies” are currently being carried in several countries using sample surveys.
Accept the “big Lie” and you are tagged as a “good person” with “empathy” who understands the feelings of others.
…[E]xpress reservations regarding … social distancing and the wearing of the face mask, and you will be tagged (according to “scientific opinion”) as a “callous and deceitful psychopath”.
In colleges and universities, the teaching staff is pressured to conform and endorse the official covid narrative. Questioning the legitimacy of the lockdown in online “classrooms” could lead to dismissal.
Google is marketing the Big Lie. The opinions of prominent scientists who question the lockdown, the face-mask or social distancing are “taken down”:
contradicts the World Health Organization (WHO) or local health authorities‘ medical information about COVID-19, including on methods to prevent, treat or diagnose COVID-19, and means of transmission of COVID-19.” (emphasis added) They call it “fact checking”, without acknowledging that both the WHO and local health authorities contradict their own data and concepts. YouTube doesn’t allow content that spreads medical misinformation that‘ medical information about COVID-19, including on methods to prevent,, and means of transmission of COVID-19.” (emphasis added) They call it “fact checking”, without acknowledging that both the WHO and local health authorities contradict their own data and concepts.

March 11, 2020: Engineered Economic Depression. Global Coup d’Etat?
Destabilizing in one fell swoop the national economies of more 190 countries is an act of “economic warfare”. This diabolical agenda undermines the sovereignty of nation states. It impoverishes people Worldwide. It leads to a spiralling dollar denominated global debt. The powerful structures of global capitalism, Big Money coupled with its intelligence and military apparatus are the driving force. Using advanced digital and communications technologies, the Lockdown and Economic Closure of the global economy is unprecedented in World history. This simultaneous intervention in 190 countries derogates democracy. It undermines the sovereignty of nation states Worldwide, without the need for military intervention. It is an advanced system of economic warfare which overshadows other forms of warfare including conventional (Iraq-style) theater wars. “Global Governance” Scenarios. World Government in the Post-Covid Era? The March 11 2020 Lockdown project uses lies and deception to ultimately impose a Worldwide totalitarian regime, entitled “Global Governance” (by unelected officials). In the words of David Rockefeller: “…The world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.” (quoted by Aspen Times, August 15, 2011, emphasis added) The Global Governance scenario imposes an agenda of social engineering and economic compliance: “It constitutes an extension of the neoliberal policy framework imposed on both developing and developed countries. It consists in scrapping “national auto-determination” and constructing a Worldwide nexus of pro-US proxy regimes controlled by a “supranational sovereignty” (World Government) composed of leading financial institutions, billionaires and their philanthropic foundations.”(See Michel Chossudovsky, Global Capitalism, “World Government” and the Corona Crisis, May 1, 2020). Simulating Pandemics The Rockefeller Foundation proposes the use of “scenario planning” as a means to carry out “global governance”. (For further details, see Michel Chossudovsky, May 1, 2020). In the Rockefeller’s 2010 Report entitled “Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development Area” scenarios of Global Governance and the actions to be taken in the case of a Worldwide pandemic are contemplated. More specifically, the report envisaged (p 18) the simulation of a Lock Step scenario including a global virulent influenza strain. The 2010 Rockefeller report was published in the immediate wake of the 2009 H1N1 swine flu pandemic. Another important simulation was carried out on October 18, 2019, less than 3 months before SARS-2 was “officially” identified in early January 2020. Event 201 was held under the auspices of the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Economic Forum. (For details see Michel Chossudovsky, March 1, 2020) Intelligence and “The Art of Deception” The Covid crisis is a sophisticated instrument of the power elites. It has all the features of a carefully planned intelligence op. using “deception and counter-deception”. Leo Strauss: “viewed intelligence as a means for policymakers to attain and justify policy goals, not to describe the realities of the world.” And that is precisely what they are doing in relation to Covid-19. Video: The Event 201 Pandemic Exercise. October 18, 2019. Focusses on the extent of the pandemic. Also addresses within the simulation how to deal with online social media and so-called “misinformation”. (Listen carefully)
Confirmed by prominent scientists as well as by official public health bodies including the World Health Organization (WHO) and the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Covid-19 is a public health concern but it is NOT a dangerous virus.
“The Global Pretext”
The COVID-19 crisis is marked by a public health “emergency” under WHO auspices which is being used as a pretext and a justification to trigger a Worldwide process of economic, social and political restructuring. The tendency is towards the imposition of a totalitarian State.
Social engineering is being applied. Governments are pressured into extending the lockdown, despite its devastating economic and social consequences.
There is no scientific basis for implementing the closing down of the global economy as a means to resolving a public health crisis. Both the media and the governments are involved in spreading disinformation.
The fear campaign has no scientific basis. Your governments are LYING. In fact they are lying to themselves.

Chapter II
What Is Covid-19, SARS-CoV-2
How Is It Tested? How Is It Measured?
Are we dealing with a dangerous virus. Is it a pandemic?
The fear campaign is relentlessly spearheaded by political statements and media disinformation. A closer examination of official reports from national health authorities as well as peer reviewed articles provides a totally different picture.
SARS-CoV-2 is not a Killer Virus.
According to an early report by the WHO pertaining to China’s epidemic:
Screenshot The Hill, March 19, 2020
What is Covid-19, SARS-CoV-2.
Lies through omission: the media has failed to reassure the broader public. Below is the official WHO definition of Covid-19:
Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses which may cause illness in animals or humans. In humans, several coronaviruses are known to cause respiratory infections ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The most recently discovered coronavirus causes coronavirus disease COVID-19.
The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, dry cough, and tiredness. … These symptoms are usually mild and begin gradually. Some people become infected but only have very mild symptoms. Most people (about 80%) recover from the disease without needing hospital treatment. Around 1 out of every 5 people who gets COVID-19 becomes seriously ill and develops difficulty breathing.
“COVID-19 is similar to SARS-1″: According to Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, pneumonia is “regularly caused or accompanied by corona viruses”. Immunologists broadly confirm the CDC definition. COVID-19 has similar features to a seasonal influenza coupled with pneumonia.
According to Anthony Fauci (Head of NIAID), H. Clifford Lane and Robert R. Redfield (Head of CDC) in the New England Journal of Medicine
…the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%) or a pandemic influenza (similar to those in 1957 and 1968) rather than a disease similar to SARS or MERS, which have had case fatality rates of 9 to 10% and 36%, respectively.
Dr. Anthony Fauci is lying to himself. In his public statements he says that Covid is “Ten Times Worse than Seasonal Flu”.
He refutes his peer reviewed report quoted above. From the outset, Fauci has been instrumental in waging the fear and panic campaign across America:
Screenshot The Hill, March 19, 2020
Covid-19 versus Influenza (Flu) Virus A and Virus B (and subtypes) (Bear in mind seasonal influenza is not a coronavirus)
Rarely mentioned by the media or by politicians: The CDC (which is an agency of the US government) confirms that Covid-19 is similar to Influenza
“Influenza (Flu) and COVID-19 are both contagious respiratory illnesses, but they are caused by different viruses. COVID-19 is caused by infection with a new coronavirus (called SARS-CoV-2) and flu is caused by infection with influenza viruses. Because some of the symptoms of flu and COVID-19 are similar, it may be hard to tell the difference between them based on symptoms alone, and testing may be needed to help confirm a diagnosis. Flu and COVID-19 share many characteristics, but there are some key differences between the two.”
If the public had been informed and reassured that Covid is “similar to Influenza”, the fear campaign would have fallen flat.
The lockdown and closure of the national economy would have been rejected outright.
Detecting the Virus. Estimating and Tabulating the Numbers. The Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction Test (RT-PCR)
The standard test used to “detect / identify” SARS-2 around the World is The Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction Test (RT-PCR) which is used to estimate and tabulate the number of so-called “confirmed” positive Covid-19 cases. (This is not the only test used. Observations below pertain solely to the standard PCR).
According to Nobel Laureate Dr. Kary Mullis who invented the PCR test. (Dr. Mullis wrote, on May 7, 2013):
PCR detects a very small segment of the nucleic acid which is part of a virus itself. The specific fragment detected is determined by the somewhat arbitrary choice of DNA primers used which become the ends of the amplified fragment.”
The Test for Covid-19 “Confirmed Cases”
Below are the official definitions and procedures which are contradictory:
“The COVID-19 RT-PCR test is a real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) test for the qualitative detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2 in upper and lower respiratory specimens … collected from individuals suspected of COVID 19 … [as well as] from individuals without symptoms or other reasons to suspect COVID-19 infection. …
This test is also for use with individual nasal swab specimens that are self-collected using the Pixel by LabCorp COVID-19 test home collection kit … The COVID-19 RT-PCR test is also for the qualitative detection of nucleic acid from the SARS-CoV-2 in pooled samples, using a matrix pooling strategy (FDA, LabCorp Laboratory Test Number: 139900)
This test is based on upper and lower respiratory specimens.
The criteria and guidelines confirmed by the CDC pertaining to “The CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Diagnostic Panel” are as follows (Read carefully):
Results are for the identification of 2019-nCoV RNA. The 2019-nCoV RNA is generally detectable in upper and lower respiratory specimens during infection. Positive results are indicative of active infection with 2019-nCoV but do not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses. The agent detected may not be the definite cause of disease. Laboratories within the United States and its territories are required to report all positive results to the appropriate public health authorities. Negative results do not preclude 2019-nCoV infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient management decisions. Negative results must be combined with clinical observations, patient history, and epidemiological information. What this suggests is that a positive infection could be the result of co-infection with other viruses. According to the CDC it “does not rule out “bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses. The agent detected may not be the definite cause of disease.” (CDC) The following diagram summarizes the process of identifying positive and negative cases: All that is required is the presence of “viral genetic material” for it to be categorized as “positive”. The procedure does not identity or isolate Covid-19. What appears in the tests are fragments of the virus.
A positive test does not mean that you have the virus and/or that you could transmit the virus.
.
A negative test does not mean that you do not have it.
.
The CDC concepts cited above confirm that the PCR Test –which is used to estimate the spread of the virus– is dysfunctional.
.
What the governments want is to inflate the number of positive cases.
Presumptive vs. Confirmed Cases
. In the US, the CDC data include both “confirmed” and “presumptive” positive cases of COVID-19 reported to CDC or tested under the jurisdiction by CDC since January 21, 2020. The presumptive positive data does not confirm coronavirus infection: Presumptive testing involves “chemical analysis of a sample that establishes the possibility that a substance is present“ (emphasis added). The presumptive test must then be sent for confirmation to an accredited government health lab. (For further details see: Michel Chossudovsky, Spinning Fear and Panic Across America. Analysis of COVID-19 Data, March 20, 2020) Similarly in Canada, “A point-of-care test” is a “rapid test done at the time and place of care, such as a hospital or doctor’s office”. It consists in collecting “samples from the nose or throat using swabs”, which are then tested on site, with almost immediate results (in 30 to 60 minutes). But it does not confirm the presence of SARS-CoV-2. Serological testing or Antibody Tests for COVID-19 According to the CDC, Serological tests do not detect the virus itself, “they detect the antibodies produced in response to an infection.” Serological tests are not used for “early diagnosis of COVID-19.” The Identification of the Virus. The PCR Test does not Identify SAR-CoV-2 While SARS-CoV-2 –namely the the virus which is said to cause COVID-19 (categorized as a disease), was isolated in a laboratory test in January 2020, the RT-PCR test does not identify/ detect the virus. What it detects are fragments of viri. According to renowned Swiss immunologist Dr B. Stadler So if we do a PCR corona test on an immune person, it is not a virus that is detected, but a small shattered part of the viral genome. The test comes back positive for as long as there are tiny shattered parts of the virus left. Even if the infectious viri are long dead, a corona test can come back positive, because the PCR method multiplies even a tiny fraction of the viral genetic material enough [to be detected]. The Question is Positive for What?? The PCR test does not detect the identity of the virus, According to Dr. Pascal Sacré, these tests detect viral particles, genetic sequences, not the whole virus. In an attempt to quantify the viral load, these sequences are then amplified several times through numerous complex steps that are subject to errors, sterility errors and contamination. Positive RT-PCR is not synonymous with COVID-19 disease! PCR specialists make it clear that a test must always be compared with the clinical record of the patient being tested, with the patient’s state of health to confirm its value [reliability] The media frighten everyone with new positive PCR tests, without any nuance or context, wrongly assimilating this information with a second wave of COVID-19. While the RT-PCR test was never intended to identify the virus, it nonetheless constitutes from the very outset the cornerstone of the official estimates of Covid-19 “positives”. WHY then was it adopted?? The Controversial Drosten Study F. William Engdahl in a recent article documents how the RT-PCR Test was instated by the WHO at the outset, despite its obvious shortcomings in identifying the 2019-nCoV. The scandal takes its roots in Germany involving “a professor at the heart of Angela Merkel’s corona advisory group”:
On January 23, 2020, in the scientific journal Eurosurveillance, of the EU Center for Disease Prevention and Control, Dr. Christian Drosten, along with several colleagues from the Berlin Virology Institute at Charité Hospital, [together] with the head of a small Berlin biotech company, TIB Molbiol Syntheselabor GmbH, published a study entitled, “Detection of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) by real-time RT-PCR” (Eurosurveillance January 23, 2020).
While Drosten et al’s Eurosurveillance article (undertaken in liaison with the WHO) confirmed that “several viral genome sequences had been released”, in the case of 2019-nCoV, however, “virus isolates or samples from infected patients were not available … “: “The genome sequences suggest presence of a virus closely related to the members of a viral species termed severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-related CoV, a species defined by the agent of the 2002/03 outbreak of SARS in humans [3,4]. We report on the the establishment and validation of a diagnostic workflow for 2019-nCoV screening and specific confirmation [using the RT-PCR test], designed in absence of available virus isolates or original patient specimens. Design and validation were enabled by the close genetic relatedness to the 2003 SARS-CoV, and aided by the use of synthetic nucleic acid technology.” (Eurosurveillance, January 23, 2020, emphasis added). What this (erroneous) statement suggests is that the identity of 2019-nCoV was not required and that “validation” would be enabled by “the close genetic relatedness to the 2003-SARS-CoV.” The recommendations of the Drosten study (supported by the Gates Foundation) pertaining to the use of the RT-PCR test were then transmitted to the WHO. They were subsequently endorsed by the Director General of the WHO, Tedros Adhanom. The identity of the virus was not required. The above also explains the subsequent renaming by the WHO of the 2019-nCoV to SARS-CoV-2. The Drosten et al article pertaining to the use of the RT-PCR test Worldwide (under WHO guidance) was challenged in a November 27, 2020 study by a group of 23 international virologists, microbiologists et al. “Their careful analysis of the original [Drosten] piece is damning. …They accuse Drosten and cohorts of “fatal” scientific incompetence and flaws in promoting their test” (Engdahl, December, 2020): In light of all the consequences resulting from this very publication for societies worldwide, a group of independent researchers performed a point-by-point review of the aforesaid publication [Drosten] in which 1) all components of the presented test design were cross checked, 2) the RT-qPCR protocol-recommendations were assessed w.r.t. good laboratory practice, and 3) parameters examined against relevant scientific literature covering the field. The published RT-qPCR protocol for detection and diagnostics of 2019-nCoV and the manuscript suffer from numerous technical and scientific errors, including insufficient primer design, a problematic and insufficient RT-qPCR protocol, and the absence of an accurate test validation. Neither the presented test nor the manuscript itself fulfils the requirements for an acceptable scientific publication. Further, serious conflicts of interest of the authors are not mentioned. Finally, the very short timescale between submission and acceptance of the publication (24 hours) signifies that a systematic peer review process was either not performed here, or of problematic poor quality. We provide compelling evidence of several scientific inadequacies, errors and flaws. (November 27, 2020 Critique of Drosten article, emphasis added) The RT-PCR Test. CDC “Estimates” of So-called Covid-19 “Positive Cases”. How is the Data Tabulated? Below is a screen shot of the CDC form entitled Human Infection with 2019 Novel Coronavirus Case Report Form to be filled in by authorized medical/ health personnel Note the categorization, bearing in mind that neither the “Probable Case” nor the (RT-PCR) “Lab-confirmed case” are “confirmed”. Moreover, there is no way to identify the SARS-CoV-2 virus in a PCR lab test (as stated above). In the US, the probable (PC) and the lab confirmed cases (CC) are lumped together. And the total number (PC + CC ) constitutes the basis for establishing the data for COVID-19 infection. It’s like adding apples and oranges. The total figure (PC+CC) categorized as “Total cases” is meaningless. It does not measure positive COVID-19 Infection. Most of the presumptive tests are undertaken by private clinics or commercial clinics.
In the UK, according to a Daily Telegraph May 21 report: “samples taken from the same patient are being recorded as two separate tests in the Government’s official figures”.
This is only one example of data manipulation.
In the US, clinics are paid ($$$) to hike up the number of Covid-19 admissions. A probable case does not require a lab exam: “Meets vital records criteria with no confirmatory lab testing” (see form above)
COVID-19 Recovery Rates
The CDC Data tabulates both “confirmed” and “presumptive” positive cases since January 21, 2020. Yet what it fails to make public is that among the confirmed and presumptive cases, a large number of Americans have recovered. But nobody talks about recovery. It does not make the headlines.
The Falsification of Death Certificates in the U.S.
At the outset of the pandemic, the CDC had been instructed to change the methodology regarding Death Certificates with a view to artificially inflating the numbers of “Covid deaths”. According to H. Ealy, M. McEvoy et al
“The 2003 guidelines for establishing death certificates had been cancelled. “Had the CDC used its industry standard, Medical Examiners’ and Coroners’ Handbook on Death Registration and Fetal Death Reporting Revision 2003, as it has for all other causes of death for the last 17 years, the COVID-19 fatality count would be approximately 90.2% lower than it currently is.” (Covid-19: Questionable Policies, Manipulated Rules of Data Collection and Reporting. Is It Safe for Students to Return to School? By H. Ealy, M. McEvoy, and et al., August 09, 2020
CDC Deaths Attributed to COVID-19. Comorbidities
The latest CDC report confirms that 94% of the deaths attributed to Covid have “comorbidities”,(i.e. deaths dues other causes).
For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned. For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death. The number of deaths with each condition or cause is shown for all deaths and by age groups.
On March 21, 2020 the following specific guidelines were introduced by the CDC regarding Death Certificates (and their tabulation in the National Vital Statistics System (NVSS)
COVID-19: The “underlying cause of death” Will COVID-19 be the underlying cause of death? This concept is fundamental. The underlying cause of death is defined by the WHO as “the disease or injury that initiated the train of events leading directly to death”. What the CDC is recommending with regards to statistical coding and categorization is that COVID-19 is expected to be the underlying cause of death “more often than not.” “What Happens if Certifiers Report Terms other than the Suggested Term?”(see below) The Certifier is not allowed to report coronavirus without identifying a specific strain. And the guideline recommends that COVID-19 be indicated, when in fact the nature of the PCR test does not isolate the SARS-CoV-2 virus. (2019 coronavirus strain). (see below): (source CDC) Will COVID-19 be the underlying cause of death? “The underlying cause depends upon what and where conditions are reported on the death certificate. However, the rules for coding and selection of the underlying cause of death are expected to result in COVID- 19 being the underlying cause more often than not.”
“What happens if certifiers report terms other than the suggested terms? If a death certificate reports coronavirus without identifying a specific strain or explicitly specifying that it is not COVID-19, NCHS will ask the states to follow up to verify whether or not the coronavirus was COVID-19. As long as the phrase used indicates the 2019 coronavirus strain, NCHS expects to assign the new code. However, it is preferable and more straightforward for certifiers to use the standard terminology (COVID-19). What happens if the terms reported on the death certificate indicate uncertainty? If the death certificate reports terms such as “probable COVID-19” or “likely COVID-19,” these terms would be assigned the new ICD code. It Is not likely that NCHS will follow up on these cases. If “pending COVID-19 testing” is reported on the death certificate, this would be considered a pending record. In this scenario, NCHS would expect to receive an updated record, since the code will likely result in R99. In this case, NCHS will ask the states to follow up to verify if test results confirmed that the decedent had COVID- 19. … COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have caused or contributed to death. Certifiers should include as much detail as possible based on their knowledge of the case, medical records, laboratory testing, etc.”
The CDC’s “More Often than Not” Clause Falsifies the Cause of Death?
These specific guidelines have indelibly contributed to increasing Covid-19 as the recorded “cause of death”
And this despite the fact that the use of RT-PCR test provides misleading results.

Test, Test, Test Governments are currently involved in increasing the number of PCR tests with a view to inflating the number of so-called Covid-19 positive cases. But a PCR positive does not confirm a Covid-19 positive. These inflated Covid positive “estimates” (from the PCR test) are then tabulated and used to sustain the fear campaign. The hype in Covid-19 deaths is based on flawed and biased criteria.
According to Dr. Pascal Sacré in an article entitled: The COVID-19 RT-PCR Test: How to Mislead All Humanity. Using a “Test” To Lock Down Society: . This misuse of RT-PCR technique is used as a relentless and intentional strategy by some governments, supported by scientific safety councils and by the dominant media, to justify excessive measures such as the violation of a large number of constitutional rights, the destruction of the economy with the bankruptcy of entire active sectors of society, the degradation of living conditions for a large number of ordinary citizens, under the pretext of a pandemic based on a number of positive RT-PCR tests, and not on a real number of patients. The RT- PCR tests do not prove infection: “Today, as authorities test more people, there are bound to be more positive RT-PCR tests. This does not mean that COVID-19 is coming back, or that the epidemic is moving in waves. There are more people being tested, that’s all.” This procedure of massive data collection is there to provide supportive (faulty) “estimates” to justify the existence of so-called “Second Wave”, not to mention the devastating economic and social consequences.

The Corona Timeline
October 18, 2019. The 201 Pandemic Simulation Exercise
The coronavirus was initially named 2019-nCoV by the WHO, the same name as that adopted at the October 18, 2019 201 Simulation exercise under the auspices of the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Health, Centre for Heath Security (an event sponsored by the Gates Foundation and World Economic Forum).(Event 201)
In October 2019, the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security hosted a pandemic tabletop exercise called Event 201 with partners, the World Economic Forum and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. … For the scenario, we modeled a fictional coronavirus pandemic, but we explicitly stated that it was not a prediction. Instead, the exercise served to highlight preparedness and response challenges that would likely arise in a very severe pandemic. We are not now predicting that the nCoV-2019 outbreak will kill 65 million people. Although our tabletop exercise included a mock novel coronavirus, the inputs we used for modeling the potential impact of that fictional virus are not similar to nCoV-2019.“We are not now predicting that the nCoV-2019 [which was also used as the name of the simulation] outbreak will kill 65 million people. .Although our tabletop exercise included a mock novel coronavirus, the inputs we used for modeling the potential impact of that fictional virus are not similar to nCoV-2019.”
December 31, 2019: First cases of pneumonia detected and reported in Wuhan, Hubei Province. China.
January 1, 2020: Chinese health authorities close the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market after Western media reports that wild animals sold there may have been the source of the virus. This initial assessment was subsequently refuted by Chinese scientists.
January 7, 2020: Chinese authorities “identify a new type of virus” which was isolated on 7 January. The coronavirus was named 2019-nCoV by the WHO exactly the same name (with the exception of the placement of the date) as that adopted in the WEF-Gates-John Hopkins October 18, 2019 simulation exercise.
January 11, 2020 – The Wuhan Municipal Health Commission announces the first death caused by the coronavirus.
January 22, 2020: WHO. Members of the WHO Emergency Committee “expressed divergent views on whether this event constitutes a PHEIC or not”. The Committee meeting was reconvened on January 23, 2020, overlapping with the World Economic Forum meetings in Davos (January 21-24, 2020).
The meeting of the Emergency Committee convened by the WHO Director-General under the International Health Regulations (IHR) (2005) expressed divergent views on whether this event constitutes a PHEIC or not. At that time, the advice was that the event did not constitute a PHEIC, but the Committee members agreed on the urgency of the situation and suggested that the Committee should be reconvened in a matter of days to examine the situation further.
January 21-24, 2020: Consultations at the World Economic Forum, Davos, Switzerland under auspices of the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) for development of a vaccine program. CEPI is a WEF-Gates partnership. With support from CEPI, Seattle based Moderna will manufacture an mRNA vaccine against 2019-nCoV, “The Vaccine Research Center (VRC) of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of NIH, collaborated with Moderna to design the vaccine.”
Note: The development of a 2019 nCoV vaccine was announced at Davos, 2 weeks after the January 7, 2020 announcement, and barely a week prior to the official launching of the WHO’s Worldwide Public Health emergency on January 30. The WEF-Gates-CEPI Vaccine Announcement precedes the WHO Public Health Emergency (PHEIC)
See WEF video
Dominant financial interests, billionaire foundations and international financial institutions played a key role in launching the WHO Public Health Emergency (PHEIC).
In the week preceding this historic WHO decision. The PHEIC was the object of “consultations” at the World Economic Forum (WEF), Davos (January 21-24). The WHO Director General Dr. Tedros was present at Davos. Were these consultations instrumental in influencing the WHO’s historic decision on January 30th.
Was there a Conflict of Interest as defined by the WHO? The WHO’s largest donor is the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which together with the WEF and CEPI had already announced in Davos the development of a Covid-19 vaccine prior to the historic January 30th launching of the PHEIC.
January 28, 2020: The US Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed that the novela corona virus had been isolated.
The WHO Director General had the backing of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Big Pharma and the World Economic Forum (WEF). There are indications that the decision for the WHO to declare a Global Health Emergency was taken on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos (January 21-24) overlapping with the Geneva January 22 meeting of the Emergency Committee.
The WHO’s Director Tedros was present at Davos 2020. At Davos, the Gates Foundation announced $10 billion commitment to vaccines over the next 10 years.
This pledge was made in Davos, Switzerland, barely a week prior to the WHO decision to launch the PHEIC.
January 30, 2020: The WHO’s Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC)
The first stage of this crisis was launched by the WHO on January 30th. While officially it was not designated as a “Pandemic”, it nonetheless contributed to spearheading the fear campaign. From the very outset, the estimates of “confirmed positive cases” have been part of a “Numbers Game”. In some cases the statistics were simply not mentioned and in other cases the numbers were inflated with a view to creating panic. The number of “confirmed cases” based on faulty estimates (PCR) used to justify this far reaching decision was ridiculously low.
The Worldwide population outside China is of the order of 6.4 billion. On January 30, 2020 outside China there were:
83 cases in 18 countries, and only 7 of them had no history of travel in China. (see WHO, January 30, 2020).
On January 29, 2020, the day preceding the launching of the PHEI (recorded by the WHO), there were 5 cases in the US, 3 in Canada, 4 in France, 4 in Germany.
There was no “scientific basis” to justify the launching of a Worldwide public health emergency.
Screenshot of WHO table, January 29, 2020,
Those ridiculously low numbers (not mentioned by the media) were used to spearhead a Worldwide fear campaign.
January 31, 2020: President Trump’s Decision to Suspend Air Travel with China
On the following day (January 31, 2020), Trump announced that he would deny entry to the US of both Chinese and foreign nationals “who have traveled in China in the last 14 days”. This immediately triggered a crisis in air travel, transportation, US-China trade relations as well as freight and shipping transactions.
Whereas the WHO “[did] not recommend any travel or trade restrictions” the five so-called “confirmed cases” in the US were sufficient to “justify” President Trump’s January 31st decision to suspend air travel to China while precipitating a hate campaign against ethnic Chinese throughout the Western World.
This historic January 31st decision paved the way towards the disruption of international commodity trade as well as Worldwide restrictions on air travel.
“Fake media” immediately went into high gear. China was held responsible for “spreading infection” Worldwide.
Early February: the acronym of the coronavirus was changed from nCoV- 2019 (its name under the October Event 201 John Hopkins Simulation Exercise before it was identified in early January 2020) to COVID-19.
February 20-21, 2020. Worldwide Covid Data Outside China: The Diamond Princess Cruise Ship
While China reported a total of 75,567 cases of COVID-19, (February 20) the confirmed cases outside China were abysmally low and the statistics based in large part on the the PCR test used to confirm the “Worldwide spread of the virus” were questionable to say the least. Moreover, out of the 75,567 cases in China, a large percentage had recovered. And recovery figures were not acknowledged by the media.
O n the day of Dr. Tedros’ historic press conference (February 20, 2020) the recorded number of confirmed cases outside China was 1073 of which 621 were passengers and crew on the Diamond Princess Cruise Ship (stranded in Japanese territorial waters).
From a statistical point of view, the WHO decision pointing to a potential “spread of the virus Worldwide” did not make sense.
On February 20th, 57.9 % of the Worldwide Covid-19 “confirmed cases” were from the Diamond Princess, hardly representative of a Worldwide “statistical trend”.The official story is as follows:
A Hong Kong based passenger who had disembarked from the Diamond Princess in Hong Kong on January 25 developed pneumonia and was tested positive for the novela coronavirus on January 30.
He was reported to have travelled on January 10, to Shenzhen on mainland China (which borders on Hong Kong’s new territories).
The Diamond Princess arrived at Yokohama on February 3. A quarantine was imposed on the cruiser See NCBI study.
Many passengers fell sick due to the confinement on the boat.
All the passengers and crew on the Diamond Princess undertook the PCR test.
The number of confirmed cases increased to 691 on February 23.
Scan Source: NCBI Study
Read carefully: From the standpoint of assessing Worldwide statistical trends, the data doesn’t stand up. Without the Diamond Princess data, the so-called confirmed cases worldwide outside China on February 2oth would have been of the order of 452, out of a population of 6.4 billion.
Examine the WHO Graph below. The blue indicates the confirmed cases on the Diamond Princess (international conveyance) (which arrived in Yokohama on February 3, 2020), many of whom were sick, confined to their rooms for more than two weeks (quarantine imposed by Japan). All passengers and crew took the RT-PCR test (which does not detect or identify Covid-19).
Needless to say, this so-called data was instrumental in spearheading the fear campaign and the collapse of financial markets in the course of the month of February. (see section below)
February 20th, 2020: At a press conference on Thursday the 20th of February afternoon (CET Time) in a briefing in Geneva, the WHO Director General. Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said that he was
“concerned that the chance to contain the coronavirus outbreak was “closing” … “I believe the window of opportunity is still there, but that the window is narrowing.” There were only 1076 cases outside China (including the Diamond Press: Screenshot, WHO Press Conference, February 20th, 2020 These “shock and awe” statements contributed to heightening the fear campaign, despite the fact that the number of confirmed cases outside China was exceedingly low. February 20-21, 2020 marks the beginning of the 2020 Financial Crash. Officially 1073 cases Worldwide. Excluding the Diamond Princess, 452 so-called “confirmed cases” Worldwide outside China, for a population of 6.4 billion recorded by the WHO on February 20th, 15 in the US, 8 in Canada, 9 in the UK. (See table right, February 20, 2020). Those are the figures used to justify Dr. Tedros’ warnings: “the window is narrowing”: A larger number of cases outside China were recorded in South Korea (153 cases according to WHO) and Italy (recorded by national authorities). WHO data recorded on February 2020 at the outset of the so-called Covid Financial Crash (right) The statement by Dr. Tedros (based on flawed concepts and statistics), set the stage for the February financial collapse The Covid-19 Numbers Game: The “Second Wave” is Based on Fake Statistics February 24: Moderna Inc supported by CEPI announced that its experimental mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, known as mRNA-1273, was ready for human testing.
February 28, 2020: A WHO vaccination campaign was announced by WHO Director General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus
More than 20 vaccines are in development globally, and several therapeutics are in clinical trials. We expect the first results in a few weeks.. The campaign to develop vaccines was initiated prior to decision of the WHO to launch a Global Public Health emergency. It was first announced at the WEF meeting at Davos (21-24 January) by CEPI.
Early March: China: More than 50% of the infected patients recovered and were discharged from the hospitals.
A total of 49,856 patients have recovered from COVID-19 and were discharged from hospitals in China. (WHO). What this means that the total number of “confirmed infected cases” in China is 30,448. (Namely 80,304 minus 49856 = 30,448 (80 304 is the total number on confirmed cases in China (WHO data, March 3, 2020). These developments concerning “recovery” are not reported by the Western media.
March 5, WHO Director General confirms that outside China there are 2055 cases reported in 33 countries. Around 80% of those cases continue to come from just three countries (South Korea, Iran, Italy).
March 7: USA: The number of “confirmed cases” (infected and recovered) in the United States in early March is of the order of 430, rising to about 6oo (March 8). Rapid rise in the course of March.
Compare that to the figures pertaining to the Influenza B Virus: The CDC estimates for 2019-2020 “at least 15 million virus flu illnesses… 140,000 hospitalizations and 8,200 deaths. (The Hill)
March 7: China: The Pandemic is Almost Over
Reported new cases in China fall to double digit. 99 cases recorded on March 7. All of the new cases outside Hubei province are categorized as “imported infections”(from foreign countries). The reliability of the data remains to be established:
99 newly confirmed cases including 74 in Hubei Province, … The new cases included 24 imported infections — 17 in Gansu Province, three in Beijing, three in Shanghai and one in Guangdong Province.
March 11, 2020: The Historic Covid-19 Pandemic, Lockdown, Closing Down of 190 National Economies
The WHO Director General had set the stage in his February 21st Press Conference . “the world should do more to prepare for a possible coronavirus pandemic”. The WHO had called upon countries to be “in a phase of preparedness”. The WHO officially declared a Worldwide pandemic at a time when there were 118,000 confirmed cases and 4291 deaths Worldwide (including China). (March 11, 2020, according to press conference). What do these “statistics” tell you? The figures quoted by Dr. Tedros included China. The number of confirmed cases outside of China (6.4 billion population) were of the order of 44279 and 1440 deaths (figures recorded for March 11, (on March 12) (see table right).
Immediately following the March 11, 2020 WHO announcement, the fear campaign went into high gear. (the economic and financial impacts are reviewed in Chapter V) March 16: Moderna mRNA-1273 is tested in several stages with 45 volunteers in Seattle, Washington State. The vaccine program started in early February:
“We don’t know whether this vaccine will induce an immune response, or whether it will be safe. That’s why we’re doing a trial,” Jackson stressed. “It’s not at the stage where it would be possible or prudent to give it to the general population.” (AP, March 16, 2020)

Engineered Economic Depression
At the time of writing, there are essentially four distinct phases in the engineered destabilization of the global economy. The First phase was launched in late January, when the Trump administration announced (Jan 31) that it will deny entry to foreign nationals “who have traveled in China in the last 14 days”. This immediately triggered a crisis in air transportation, China-US trade as well as the tourism industry were affected.
was launched in late January, when the Trump administration announced (Jan 31) that it will deny entry to foreign nationals “who have traveled in China in the last 14 days”. This immediately triggered a crisis in air transportation, China-US trade as well as the tourism industry were affected. The second phase was initiated on February 20th, following WHO Director General’s Dr. Tedros warning that a pandemic was imminent, which served to trigger the beginning of the 2020 Corona Financial crash.
was initiated on February 20th, following WHO Director General’s Dr. Tedros warning that a pandemic was imminent, which served to trigger the beginning of the 2020 Corona Financial crash. The third Phase was launched with the March 11 lockdown and closing down of of 190 national economies , with devastating social consequences and
was launched with the , with devastating social consequences and A Fourth phase was initiated in September-October coinciding with the so-colled “Second Wave”. The Disruption in US-China Trade Trump’s decision on January 31, 2020 was taken immediately following the announcement by the WHO Director General of a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) (January 30, 2020). In many regards, this was an act of “economic warfare” against China. And then, following Trump’s January 31st decision to curtail air travel and transportation to China, a campaign was launched in Western countries against China as well against ethnic Chinese. The Economist reported that “The coronavirus spreads racism against and among ethnic Chinese” “Britain’s Chinese community faces racism over coronavirus outbreak” According to the South China Morning Post (Hong Kong): “Chinese communities overseas are increasingly facing racist abuse and discrimination amid the coronavirus outbreak. Some ethnic Chinese people living in the UK say they experienced growing hostility because of the deadly virus that originated in China.” And this phenomenon happened all over the U.S. China Town, San Francisco US-China Trade. America’s Dependence on “Made in China” What the Trump administration failed to comprehend is that the United States is heavily dependent on commodity imports from China. The unspoken truth is that America is an import led economy (resulting from offshoring) with a weak manufacturing base, heavily dependent on imports from the PRC. Despite America’s financial dominance and the powers of the dollar, there are serious failures in the structure of America’s “Real Economy” which have been exacerbated by the corona crisis. US imports from China have declined significantly as a result of the “pandemic”, the impacts on US retail trade are potentially devastating. This process of disruption affecting production, supply lines, international transport started in early February, following Trump’s declaration on January 31st. Political and geopolitical factors played a key role including the anti-Chinese campaign launched in February as well threats by the Trump administration, claiming that China was responsible for “spreading the virus”. The impacts on bilateral US-China trade were devastating: US commodity imports from China declined by 28.3% (average over first three months of 2o2o in relation to first 3 months of 2019). Following the March 11 lockdown and closure of the global economy, the decline of US imports from China in March of the order of 36.5% (in relation to March 2019). The decline in China’s exports to the US recorded in April and May were of the order 7.9% to 8.5% in relation to April-May 2019. Moreover, according to figures quoted by the the Financial Times (largely attributable to the deep-seated financial crisis which started in February 2020), the value of newly announced Chinese direct investment projects into the US had fallen by about 90%: $200m in the first quarter of 2020, down from an average of $2bn per quarter in 2019. “Chinese direct investment into the US stood at $5bn, a slight drop from $5.4bn in 2018 and well off a recent peak of $45bn in 2016, when Chinese companies were much more free to acquire US counterparts” While the US economy had entered into a deep-seated crisis (starting in February with the financial crash), China’s economy has recovered: China’s overall exports Worldwide (dollars) in April rose by 3.5% (in relation to April 2019). What has transpired is a major redirection of China’s exports to the European Union and the rest of the World, which inevitably affects “Made in China” retail trade throughout the US. The geopolitical implications are far-reaching, while the real economy in the US is in a shambles, China has now become the EU’s largest trading partner. The February 2020 Corona Financial Crash Speculative trade and financial fraud played a key role. On Thursday the 20th of February afternoon in Geneva, (CET Time) the WHO Director General. Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus held a press conference. I am “concerned”, he said, “that the chance to contain the coronavirus outbreak” is “closing” … “I believe the window of opportunity is still there, but that the window is narrowing.” These “shock and awe” statements contributed to triggering panic, despite the fact that the number of confirmed cases outside China was exceedingly low: 453 positive cases outside China. The statement by Dr. Tedros (based on flawed concepts and statistics), set the stage for the February financial collapse triggered by inside information, foreknowledge, derivative trade, short-selling and a galore of hedge fund operations. COVID-19 was narrowly identified as the catalyst of the financial crash. Who was behind this catalyst? Who was behind the fear campaign which contributed to triggering chaos and uncertainty on financial markets? Whoever had foreknowledge (inside information) of the WHO Director General’s February 20th statement would have reaped significant monetary gains. Was there a conflict of interest? The WHO receives funds from the Gates Foundation. Bill Gates has “60% of his assets invested in equities [including stocks and index funds]”, according to a September 2019 CNBC report. The stock market crash initiated on February 20th referred to as the 2020 Coronavirus Crash (February 20-April 7, 2020), was categorized as: “the fastest fall in global stock markets in financial history, and the most devastating crash since the Wall Street Crash of 1929.” The cause of the financial crash was (according to “analysts”) was V. The Virus. The spread of the virus outside China. The possibility of financial fraud and inside trading was dispelled. Without the human hand, there is no causal relationship between a microscopic virus and the complex gamut of financial instruments. The “killer virus” fear campaign coupled with Dr. Tedros’ timely “warnings” of the need to implement a Worldwide pandemic indelibly served the interests of Wall Street’s institutional speculators and hedge funds. The financial crash led to a major shift in the distribution of money wealth. (See analysis in Chapter V) In the week following the February 20-21 WHO announcement, the Dow Jones collapsed by 12% (CNBC, February 28, 2020). According to analysts, the plunge of the DJIA was the result of the Worldwide spread of the virus. A nonsensical statement in contradiction with the (small) number of WHO Covid positive estimates, most of which were based on the faulty PCR test. On Monday, February 24th upon the reopening of stock markets, there was an unprecedented plunge in the Dow Jones attributable to the “impending dangers” that “Covid was spreading Worldwide creating uncertainties in financial markets”. . as the number of coronavirus cases outside China surged, stoking fears of a prolonged global economic slowdown from the virus spreading. The Stocks fell sharply on Monday ( February 24), stoking fears of a prolonged global economic slowdown from the virus spreading. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed 1,031.61 points lower, or 3.56%, at 27,960.80.” (CNBC) (emphasis added) Dow Jones Industrial Average December 2019 – March 2020 Also on February 24th, Trump requested a $1.25 billion emergency aid. According to the BBC, Worldwide stock markets saw sharp falls “because of concerns about the economic impact of the virus”, suggesting that the Virus was “the invisible “hand” responsible for the decline of financial markets. COVID-19 was narrowly identified as the catalyst of the financial crash. Who was behind the fear campaign which contributed to triggering chaos and uncertainty on financial markets? All of which were based on flawed Covid estimates. March 11, 2020: The Covid-19 Pandemic, Lockdown, Closing Down of 190 National Economies On March 11, 2020: the WHO officially declared a Worldwide pandemic at a time when there were 118,000 confirmed cases and 4291 deaths Worldwide (including China). (March 11, 2020, according to press conference). What do these “statistics” tell you? The number of confirmed cases outside of China (6.4 billion population) were of the order of 44279 and 1440 deaths (figures recorded for March 11, (on March 12). Immediately following the March 11, 2020 WHO announcement, the fear campaign went into high gear. As in the case of the February 20-21 crash, the March 11 statement by the WHO Director General had set the stage. Stock markets crashed worldwide. On the following morning, the Dow (DJIA) plummeted by 9.99% (A decline of 2,352.60 to close at 21,200.62) Black Thursday, March 12, 2020 was “the Dow’s worst day” since 1987. A massive transfer of financial wealth had taken place in favor of America’s billionaires. (see chapter V) Confinement instructions were transmitted to 193 member states of the United Nations. Politicians are the instruments of powerful financial interests. Was this far-reaching decision justified as a means to combating the Virus? Unprecedented in history, applied almost simultaneously in a large number countries, entire sectors of the World economy were destabilized. Small and medium sized enterprises were driven into bankruptcy. Unemployment and poverty are rampant. In several developing countries, famines have erupted out (see analysis below). The social impacts of these measures are devastating. The health impacts (mortality, morbidity) of these measures including the destabilization of the system of national health care (in numerous countries) far surpass those attributed to Covid-19. Economic Warfare The instructions came from above, from Wall Street, the World Economic Forum, the billionaire foundations. This diabolical project is casually described by the corporate media as a “humanitarian” endeavor. The “international community” has a “Responsibility to Protect” (R2P). An unelected “public-private partnership” under the auspices of the World Economic Forum (WEF), has come to the rescue of Planet Earth’s 7.8 billion people. The closure of the global economy is presented as a means to “killing the virus”.
Sounds absurd. Closing down the real economy of Planet Earth is not the “solution” but rather the “cause” of a process of Worldwide destabilization and impoverishment. The national economy combined with political, social and cultural institutions is the basis for the “reproduction of real life”: income, employment, production, trade, infrastructure, social services. Destabilizing the economy of Planet Earth cannot constitute a “solution” to combating the virus. But that is the imposed “solution” which they want us to believe in. And that is what they are doing. The “Real Economy” and “Big Money”
Why are these Covid lockdown policies spearheading bankruptcy, poverty and unemployment? There is an important relationship between the “Real Economy” and “Big Money”, namely the financial establishment. What is ongoing is a process of concentration of wealth, whereby the financial establishment, (i.e. the multibillion dollar creditors) are slated to appropriate the real assets of both bankrupt companies as well as State assets. The “Real Economy” constitutes “the economic landscape” of real economic activity: productive assets, agriculture, industry, services, economic and social infrastructure, investment, employment, etc. The real economy at the global and national levels is being targeted by the lockdown and closure of economic activity. The Global Money financial institutions are the “creditors” of the real economy. The closure of the global economy has triggered a process of global indebtedness. Unprecedented in World history, a multi-trillion bonanza of dollar denominated debts is hitting simultaneously the national economies of 193 countries. Under the so-called “New Normal” Great Reset put forth by the World Economic Forum (WEF), the creditors (including the billionaires) will eventually buy out important sectors of the real economy as well as take over bankrupt entities. The creditors will also seek to acquire ownership and/or control of “public wealth” including the social and economic assets of the State through a massive indebtedness project under the surveillance of the IMF and the World Bank. In the sections below we review the dramatic impacts of the closure of the global economy focussing on bankruptcies, poverty, unemployment, the outbreak of famines and education. Most of the figures quoted below are from UN, government and related sources, which tend to underestimate the seriousness of this ongoing global crisis, which is literally destroying people’s lives. Indebtedness in all sectors of economic activity Worldwide is the driving force. What is presented below is but the tip of the iceberg. Bankruptcies The wave of bankruptcies triggered by the closure of the World economy affects both Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SME) as well as large Corporations. The evidence suggests that small and medium sized enterprises are literally being wiped out. According to a survey by the International Trade Centre, quoted by the OECD, pertaining to SMEs in 132 countries: two-thirds of micro and small firms report that the crisis strongly affected their business operations, and one-fifth indicate the risk of shutting down permanently within three months. Based on several surveys in a variety of countries, McKinsey (2020) indicates that between 25% and 36% of small businesses could close down permanently from the disruption in the first four months of the pandemic. (OECD Report, emphasis added) In the US, the bankruptcy process is ongoing. According to a group of academics in a letter to Congress: “we anticipate that a significant fraction of viable small businesses will be forced to liquidate, causing high and irreversible economic losses,. “Workers will lose jobs even in otherwise viable businesses. … “A run of defaults looks almost inevitable. At the end of the first quarter of this year, U.S. companies had amassed nearly $10.5 trillion in debt — by far the most since the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis began tracking the figure at the end of World War II. “An explosion in corporate debt,” Mr. Altman said” (NYT, June, 16, 2020). With regard to small businesses in the US: almost 90% of small businesses experienced a strong (51%) or moderate (38%) negative impact from the pandemic; 45% of businesses experienced disruptions in supply chains; 25% of businesses has less than 1-2 months cash reserves.“ (OECD) The results of a survey of over 5 800 small businesses in the United States: … shows that 43% of responding businesses are already temporarily closed. On average, businesses reduced their employees by 40%. Three-quarters of respondents indicate they have two months or less in cash in reserve. … (OECD) In a recent survey: “half of all US small business owners in the entire country believe that they may soon be forced to close down for good. Not even during the Great Depression of the 1930s did we see anything like this” Global Unemployment In an August report, the International Labour Organization (ILO) confirms that: The COVID-19 crisis has severely disrupted economies and labour markets in all world regions, with estimated losses of working hours equivalent to nearly 400 million full-time jobs in the second quarter of 2020, most of which are in emerging and developing countries…(ILO, 2020a). … Among the most vulnerable are the 1.6 billion informal economy workers, representing half of the global workforce, who are working in sectors experiencing major job losses or have seen their incomes seriously affected by lockdowns. The COVID‐19 crisis is disproportionately affecting 1.25 billion workers in at-risk jobs, particularly in the hardest-hit sectors such as retail trade, accommodation and food services, and manufacturing (ILO, 2020b). Most of these workers are self-employed, in low-income jobs in the informal sector… Young people, for example, are experiencing multiple shocks including disruption to education and training, employment and income, in addition to greater difficulties in finding jobs. The Covid-19 Numbers Game: The “Second Wave” is Based on Fake Statistics The ILO does not in any way explain the political causes of mass unemployment, resulting from actions taken by national governments, allegedly with a view to resolving the Covid pandemic. Moreover, the ILO tends to underestimate both the levels as well as the dramatic increase in unemployment. Governments are under the control of global creditors. What is contemplated for the post-Covid era is the implementation of massive austerity measures including the cancellation of benefits and social nets. Unemployment in the US In the US, “more than 30 million people, over 15% of the workforce, have applied for unemployment benefits… ” (CSM, May 6, 2020). Announced in early December: “”More than 10 million Americans are projected to lose their unemployment benefits the day after Christmas unless Congress acts to extend key pandemic-related programs – a prospect that as of now looks uncertain at best.” (US News and World Report) The cliff edge looms as coronavirus cases surge around the country and applications for unemployment benefits rise with states and localities reimposing virus-related restrictions. The lapse is also set to occur as protections for renters, student loan borrowers and homeowners expire – a potential devastating confluence of events for both individuals, whose savings have been ravaged by the pandemic, and the economy at large, which is gradually clawing its way back from the coronavirus-induced recession. When the programs lapse at the end of December, an estimated 12 million people could lose jobless benefits, according to the Century Foundation. ( US News and World Report
During the most severe Main Street economic collapse in US history — with over one-fourth of working-age Americans jobless — an additional calamity looms:
The very foundations of civil society are threatened. UNICEF estimates that 1.6 billion children and adolescents are affected by the closure of schools Worldwide. “As the COVID-19 pandemic has spread across the globe, a majority of countries have announced the temporary closure of schools, impacting more than 91 per cent of students worldwide… Never before have so many children been out of school at the same time… Colleges and universities are also paralysed. Students are denied the right to education. While UNESCO confirms that more than one billion learners are affected, it offers no concrete solution or critique. The official narrative imposed by the so-called “public / private partnership” which is imposed on national governments has been adopted at face value. School closures have been implemented in 132 countries. See diagram below (UNESCO, May 2020). click map to access UNESCO report. Chapter V The Enrichment of the Super Rich The Appropriation and Redistribution of Wealth “V the Virus” is said to be responsible for the wave of bankruptcies and unemployment. That’s a lie. There is no causal relationship between the virus and economic variables. The decision-making process must be addressed. It’s the powerful financiers and billionaires who are behind this project which has contributed to the destabilization (Worldwide) of the real economy. Since early February 2020, the Super Rich have cashed in on billions of dollars. Between April and July the total wealth held by billionaires around the world has grown from $8 trillion to more than $10 trillion, There are three distinct phases, which are directly related to the corona crisis, each of which is marked by major shifts in the distribution of global wealth. The financial crisis initiated on February 20th, was conducive to a dramatic redistribution of money wealth and ownership of financial assets. Foreknowledge, inside information and speculative trade played a key role. Was there foreknowledge of WHO’s Dr. Tedros February 20th Statement? (see Chapter IV) The March 11 lockdown and closing down of the national economies of 190 UN member states, which triggered corporate as well as SME bankruptcies Worldwide. The March 11 event was also marked by the plunge of stock markets worldwide, starting on Black Thursday March 12, 2020. (See Chapter IV) The third stage of billionaire enrichment pertains to the implementation of the so-called “Second Wave” which consists in triggering a renewed wave of bankruptcies. The redistribution of wealth in favor of the billionaire class is confirmed by an IPS study pertaining to the closing down of the global economy. On March 18, 2020, U.S. billionaires had combined wealth of $2.947 trillion. By October 8th, their wealth has surged to $3.8 trillion ($3.798 billion to be exact). An Increase of $850 billion, an increase of over 28 percent. (This estimate does not account for the increase in wealth during the period preceding March 18, which was marked by a series of stock market crashes). At the global level, billionaires are big winners during the Covid-19 pandemic. According to a recent UBS report, the roughly 2,189 global billionaires now have $10.2 trillion. This is an estimated increase of $1.5 trillion during the pandemic looking at both UBS and Forbes billionaire data from 2019. The Forbes report does not explain the real cause of this massive redistribution of wealth: “collective billionaire wealth has grown at its fastest rate over any period over the past decade.” In fact it is the largest redistribution of global wealth in World history. It is predicated on a systematic process of Worldwide impoverishment. It is an act of economic warfare. The billionaires were not only the recipients of generous “government stimulus packages” (i.e. Handouts), the bulk of their financial gains from the outset of the Covid fear campaign in early February was the result of insider trading, derivative trade and manipulation of both financial and commodity markets. Warren Buffett rightfully identifies these speculative instruments as “Financial Weapons of Mass Destruction”. The combined wealth of U.S. billionaires increased by $850 billion from March 18th, 2020 to October 8, 2020, an increase of over 28 percent. This estimate does not account for the increase in wealth during the period preceding March 18, which was marked by a series of stock market crashes. (See Michel Chossudovsky, Economic Chaos and Societal Destruction, November 7, 2020) On March 18, 2020, U.S. billionaires had combined wealth of $2.947 trillion. By October 8th, their wealth had surged to $3.8 trillion. This upper billionaire class manipulates financial markets starting in February and then orders the closing down of the global economy on March 11,2020. The table below identifies the increase in personal wealth of the five richest US billionaires (March 18- June 17, 2020). (Not outlined in the Table, the wealth of US billionaires increased by another $266 billion from June to October 2020). The US Public Debt Goes Fly High The private appropriation of wealth has precipitated a global debt crisis. In country after country the public debt has skyrocketed. In the US the federal budget deficit hit an all-time high of $3.1 trillion in the 2020 budget year (September), three times the size of last year’s deficit of $984bn. It was the US government’s largest annual shortfall in dollar terms, surpassing the previous record of $1.4 trillion set in 2009. … The 2020 deficit, in terms of its relationship to the economy, represented 15.2 percent of total gross domestic product (GDP), the sum of all the goods and services produced by the country. That was the highest level since 1945, when the US was borrowing heavily to finance World War II.Al Jazeera The Trump administration’s 2020 budget year was marked by a 47.3 percent surge in spending to $6.55 trillion, largely used to finance corporate bailouts and handouts as well as the multibillion dollar social safety nets resulting from the Covid financial crash in February and the March lockdown, which was conducive to the partial closure of the US economy. In the wake of the corona crisis, the social safety nets will be abolished. The implementation of drastic austerity measures is envisaged. “The Second Wave”. Another Lockdown Second Wave is a Lie. It is presented to public opinion as a means to combating the virus and saving lives. That is what the governments are telling us. The fear campaign has gone into high gear, applied simultaneously in different regions of the world. Test, Test, the objective of which is to push up the numbers of so-called positive cases. If you live alone in the UK, you can set up a “Support Bubble (see left) Needless to say: at the outset of this Second Wave, the global economy is already in a state of chaos. While the reports fail to reveal the depth and seriousness of this global crisis, the evidence (which is still tentative and incomplete) speaks for itself. The rationale of the Second Wave is to prevent and postpone the reopening of the national economy, coupled with the enforcement of social distancing, the wearing of the face mask, etc. The target are the service economy, the airlines, the tourist industry, etc. Maintaining strict restrictions on air travel is tantamount to spearheading major airlines into bankruptcy. The bankruptcy program is engineered and imposed. Solely in the US tourism and travel industry, 9.2 million jobs could be lost and “between 10.8 million and 13.8 million jobs … are at serious risk”. And the Second Wave is intent upon enabling the billionaires to pick up the pieces, acquiring ownership of entire sectors of economic activity at rockbottom prices. The money they appropriated in the course of the financial crisis (through outright manipulation) will be used to buy out bankrupt corporations as well as bankrupt governments. The financial establishment has instructed governments to implement what is tantamount to a second bankruptcy program using the pretext and justification that the number of Covid positive cases has increased. In all likelihood this second wave will lead to a further process of appropriation and concentration of wealth. Concurrently, there is a tendency towards totalitarian forms of government. At the outset of the Second Wave, the process of postponing the reopening of the global economy will indelibly contribute to wiping out (regional and local) small and medium sized enterprises worldwide, while also precipitating the bankruptcy of entire sectors of the World economy including airlines, hotel chains and the tourist industry. This in turn will lead to the appropriation of real assets by powerful financial interests. The fear campaign has once again gone into high gear. Official statistics based on faulty and manipulated estimates of so-called “confirmed” Covid positive cases constitute the basis for justifying these diabolical measures. V the virus is presented as the Threat. But the Virus has no direct impact on key economic variables. What is at stake is unprecedented: It’s a global neoliberal agenda carried out by corrupt governments on behalf of the financial establishment. (See Chapter IX) Common sense tells us that the closure of the global economy destroys people’s lives. Disrupting the fear campaign constitutes the first step towards reversing the tide .

Chapter VI
“There is No Cure”
Suppression of Hydroxychloroquine (CQ), A Cheap and Effective Drug
There is an ongoing battle to suppress Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), a cheap and effective drug for the treatment of Covid-19. The campaign against HCQ is carried out through slanderous political statements, media smears, not to mention an authoritative peer reviewed “evaluation” published on May 22nd by The Lancet, which was based on fake figures and test trials.
The study was allegedly based on data analysis of 96,032 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 between Dec 20, 2019, and April 14, 2020 from 671 hospitals Worldwide. The database had been fabricated. The objective was to kill the Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) cure on behalf of Big Pharma.
While The Lancet article was retracted, the media casually blamed “a tiny US based company” named Surgisphere whose employees included “a sci-fi writer and adult content model” for spreading “flawed data” (Guardian). This Chicago based outfit was accused of having misled both the WHO and national governments, inciting them to ban HCQ. None of those trial tests actually took place.
While the blame was placed on Surgisphere, the unspoken truth (which neither the scientific community nor the media have acknowledged) is that the study was coordinated by Harvard professor Mandeep Mehra under the auspices of Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) which is a partner of the Harvard Medical School.
When the scam was revealed, Dr. Mandeep Mehra who holds the Harvey Distinguished Chair of Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital apologized:
I have always performed my research in accordance with the highest ethical and professional guidelines. However, we can never forget the responsibility we have as researchers to scrupulously ensure that we rely on data sources that adhere to our high standards. It is now clear to me that in my hope to contribute this research during a time of great need, I did not do enough to ensure that the data source was appropriate for this use. For that, and for all the disruptions – both directly and indirectly – I am truly sorry. (emphasis added) Mandeep R. Mehra, MD, MSC (official statement on BWH website)
But that “truly sorry” note was just the tip of the iceberg. Why?
The Studies respectively on Gilead Science’s Remdesivir and on Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) Were Conducted Simultaneously by Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH)
While The Lancet report (May 22, 2020) coordinated by Dr. Mandeep Mehra was intended “to kill” the legitimacy of HCQ as a cure of Covid-19, another important (related) study was being carried out (concurrently) at BWH pertaining to Remdesivir on behalf of Gilead Sciences Inc.
Dr. Francisco Marty,a specialist in Infectious Disease and Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School was entrusted with coordination of the clinical trial tests of the antiviral medication Remdesivir under Brigham’s contract with Gilead Sciences Inc:
Brigham and Women’s Hospital began enrolling patients in two clinical trials for Gilead’s antiviral medication remdesivir. The Brigham is one of multiple clinical trial sites for a Gilead-initiated study of the drug in 600 participants with moderate coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and a Gilead-initiated study of 400 participants with severe COVID-19.
… If the results are promising, this could lead to FDA approval, and if they aren’t, it gives us critical information in the fight against COVID-19 and allows us to move on to other therapies.”
While Dr. Mandeep Mehra was not directly involved in the Gilead Remdesivir BWH study under the supervision of his colleague Dr. Francisco Marty, he nonetheless had contacts with Gilead Sciences Inc: “He participated in a conference sponsored by Gilead in early April 2020 as part of the Covid-19 debate” (France Soir, May 23, 2020) URL
What was the intent of his (failed) study? To undermine the legitimacy of Hydroxychloroquine?
According to France Soir, in a report published after The Lancet Retraction:
The often evasive answers produced by Dr Mandeep R. Mehra, … professor at Harvard Medical School, did not produce confidence, fueling doubt instead about the integrity of this retrospective study and its results. (France Soir, June 5, 2020) URL
Was Dr. Mandeep Mehra in conflict of interest? (That is a matter for BWH and the Harvard Medical School to decide upon).
Who are the Main Actors?
Dr. Anthony Fauci, advisor to Donald Trump, portrayed as “America’s top infectious disease expert” has played a key role in smearing the HCQ cure which had been approved years earlier by the CDC as well as providing legitimacy to Gilead’s Remdesivir.
Dr. Fauci has been the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) since the Reagan administration. He is known to act as a mouthpiece for Big Pharma.
Dr. Fauci launched Remdesivir in late June (see details below). According to Fauci, Remdesivir is the “corona wonder drug” developed by Gilead Science Inc. It’s a $1.6 billion dollar bonanza.
Gilead Sciences Inc: History
Gilead Sciences Inc is a Multibillion dollar bio-pharmaceutical company which is now involved in developing and marketing Remdesivir. Gilead has a long history. It has the backing of major investment conglomerates including the Vanguard Group and Capital Research & Management Co, among others. It has developed ties with the US Government.
In 1999 Gilead Sciences Inc, developed Tamiflu (used as a treatment of seasonal influenza and bird flu). At the time, Gilead Sciences Inc was headed by Donald Rumsfeld (1997-2001), who later joined the George W. Bush administration as Secretary of Defense (2001-2006). Rumsfeld was responsible for coordinating the illegal and criminal wars on Afghanistan (2001) and Iraq (2003).
Rumsfeld maintained his links to Gilead Sciences Inc throughout his tenure as Secretary of Defense (2001-2006). According to CNN Money (2005): “The prospect of a bird flu outbreak … was very good news for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld [who still owned Gilead stocks] and other politically connected investors in Gilead Sciences”.
Anthony Fauci has been in charge of the NIAID since 1984, using his position as “a go between” the US government and Big Pharma. During Rumsfeld’s tenure as Secretary of Defense, the budget allocated to bio-terrorism increased substantially, involving contracts with Big Pharma including Gilead Sciences Inc. Anthony Fauci considered that the money allocated to bio-terrorism in early 2002 would:
“accelerate our understanding of the biology and pathogenesis of microbes that can be used in attacks, and the biology of the microbes’ hosts — human beings and their immune systems. One result should be more effective vaccines with less toxicity.” (WPo report)
In 2008, Dr. Anthony Fauci was granted the Presidential Medal of Freedom by president George W. Bush “for his determined and aggressive efforts to help others live longer and healthier lives.”

April 10: The Gilead Sciences Inc. study published in the NEJM on the “Compassionate Use of Remdesivir”
A Gilead sponsored report was published in New England Journal of Medicine in an article entitled “Compassionate Use of Remdesivir for Patients with Severe Covid-19” . It was co-authored by an impressive list of 56 distinguished medical doctors and scientists, many of whom were recipients of consulting fees from Gilead Sciences Inc.
Gilead Sciences Inc. funded the study which included several staff members as co-authors.
The testing included a total of 61 patients [who] received at least one dose of remdesivir on or before March 7, 2020; 8 of these patients were excluded because of missing postbaseline information (7 patients) and an erroneous remdesivir start date (1 patient) … Of the 53 remaining patients included in this analysis, 40 (75%) received the full 10-day course of remdesivir, 10 (19%) received 5 to 9 days of treatment, and 3 (6%) fewer than 5 days of treatment.
The NEJM article states that “Gilead Sciences Inc began accepting requests from clinicians for compassionate use of remdesivir on January 25, 2020”. From whom, From Where? According to the WHO (January 30, 2020) there were 82 cases in 18 countries outside China of which 5 were in the US, 5 in France and 3 in Canada.
Several prominent physicians and scientists have cast doubt on the Compassionate Use of Remdesivir study conducted by Gilead, focussing on the small size of the trial. Ironically, the number of patients in the test is less that the number of co-authors: “53 patients” versus “56 co-authors”
Below we provide excerpts of scientific statements on the Gilead NEJM project (Science Media Centre emphasis added) published immediately following the release of the NEJM article:
“‘Compassionate use’ is better described as using an unlicensed therapy to treat a patient because there are no other treatments available. Research based on this kind of use should be treated with extreme caution because there is no control group or randomisation, which are some of the hallmarks of good practice in clinical trials. Prof Duncan Richard, Clinical Therapeutics, University of Oxford.
“It is critical not to over-interpret this study. Most importantly, it is impossible to know the outcome for this relatively small group of patients had they not received remdesivir. Dr Stephen Griffin, Associate Professor, School of Medicine, University of Leeds.
“The research is interesting but doesn’t prove anything at this point: the data are from a small and uncontrolled study. Simon Maxwell, Professor of Clinical Pharmacology and Prescribing, University of Edinburgh.
“The data from this paper are almost uninterpretable. It is very surprising, perhaps even unethical, that the New England Journal of Medicine has published it. It would be more appropriate to publish the data on the website of the pharmaceutical company that has sponsored and written up the study. At least Gilead have been clear that this has not been done in the way that a high quality scientific paper would be written. Prof Stephen Evans, Professor of Pharmacoepidemiology, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.
“It’s very hard to draw useful conclusions from uncontrolled studies like this particularly with a new disease where we really don’t know what to expect and with wide variations in outcomes between places and over time. One really has to question the ethics of failing to do randomisation – this study really represents more than anything else, a missed opportunity.” Prof Adam Finn, Professor of Paediatrics, University of Bristol.

April 29: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Study on Remdesivir.
On April 29th following the publication of the Gilead Sciences Inc Study in the NEJM on April 10, a press release of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) on Remdesivir was released. The full document was published on May 22, by the NEJM under the title:
Remdesivir for the Treatment of Covid-19 — Preliminary Report (NEJM)
The study had been initiated on February 21, 2020. The title of the April 29 Press Release was:
“Peer-reviewed data shows remdesivir for COVID-19 improves time to recovery”
It’s a government sponsored report which includes preliminary data from a randomized trial involving 1063 hospitalized patients. The results of the trial labelled Adaptive COVID-19 Treatment Trial (ACTT) are preliminary, conducted under the helm of Dr. Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID):
An independent data and safety monitoring board (DSMB) overseeing the trial met on April 27 to review data and shared their interim analysis with the study team. Based upon their review of the data, they noted that remdesivir was better than placebo from the perspective of the primary endpoint, time to recovery, a metric often used in influenza trials. Recovery in this study was defined as being well enough for hospital discharge or returning to normal activity level. Preliminary results indicate that patients who received remdesivir had a 31% faster time to recovery than those who received placebo (p<0.001). Specifically, the median time to recovery was 11 days for patients treated with remdesivir compared with 15 days for those who received placebo. Results also suggested a survival benefit, with a mortality rate of 8.0% for the group receiving remdesivir versus 11.6% for the placebo group (p=0.059). (emphasis added)
In the NIH’s earlier February 21, 2020 report (released at the outset of the study), the methodology was described as follows:
… A randomized, controlled clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the investigational antiviral remdesivir in hospitalized adults diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) …
Numbers. Where? When?
The February 21 report confirmed that the first trial participant was “an American who was repatriated after being quarantined on the Diamond Princess cruise ship” that docked in Yokohama (Japanese Territorial Waters). “Thirteen people repatriated by the U.S. State Department from the Diamond Princess cruise ship” were selected as patients for the placebo trial test.
Ironically, at the outset of the study, 58.7% of the “confirmed cases” Worldwide (542 cases out of 924) (outside China), were on the Diamond Cruise Princess from which the initial trial placebo patients were selected.
Where and When: The trial test in the 68 selected sites? That came at a later date because on February 19th (WHO data), the US had recorded only 15 positive cases (see Table Below).
“A total of 68 sites ultimately joined the study—47 in the United States and 21 in countries in Europe and Asia.” (emphasis added)
In the final May 22 NEJM report entitled Remdesivir for the Treatment of Covid-19 — Preliminary Report:
There were 60 trial sites and 13 subsites in the United States (45 sites), Denmark (8), the United Kingdom (5), Greece (4), Germany (3), Korea (2), Mexico (2), Spain (2), Japan (1), and Singapore (1). Eligible patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either remdesivir or placebo. Randomization was stratified by study site and disease severity at enrollment
