lewrockwell--2020-05-22--Who Pushes the Idea of an Epidemic; What Are Their Crimes?

“ It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published , or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines .
I take no pleasure in this conclusion , which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine.
” –Marcia Angell , MD ( “ Drug Companies and Doctors : A story of Corruption.
” NY Review of Books , Jan. 15 , 2009 . )
With my coverage of the so-called pandemic , we are seeing many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
So I want to expose a few facts about the modern medical system—facts I ’ ve presented many times over the past 10 years .
I do this because of a little thing called REPUTATION .
If the track record of major medical officials were really understood , people would ignore their current pronouncements with barely a glance .
Pronouncements like : THE VIRUS IS SPREADING ; THIS IS A MAJOR EPIDEMIC ; WE ’ RE TESTING A NEW PROTECTIVE VACCINE AND EVERYONE MUST TAKE IT .
AIDS Inc. Rappoport , Jon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ $ 18.89 I also expose facts because MEDICALLY CAUSED DEATH is routinely swept under the carpet by the mainstream press .
Actually , as a result of media silence , the subject of medical harm is where the subject of grossly poisoned food was in the 19th and early 20th centuries .
At that time , giant food processors had created their own Wild West , where they could sell lethal poison ( eat , fall down dead ) hidden in products .
The press helped expose these crimes and transfix the public @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Now , in the medical arena , the press is a partner in capital crimes .
Major medical officials have been sitting on a time bomb .
The range of medical maiming and killing is astonishing .
Imagine a Congressional hearing held before media cameras , with reporters all over the world ready with shocking facts about one of the leading causes of death— SENATOR : Sir , I have the mainstream medical death numbers in front of me .
How can you keep this secret from the public ?
FDA COMMISSIONER : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sir .
Many experts know about it .
SENATOR : I ’ m looking through the trillion-dollar federal budget .
I ’ m looking for the money allocated to fix this horrible situation .
Where are those funds ?
FDA COMMISSIONER : Because we can never be dismantled .
We ’ re eternal .
God created the FDA .
God created the CDC .
Plague : One Scientist & ... Mikovits , Judy Buy New $ 1.99 I know major media won ’ t investigate medically-caused death numbers , because I ’ ve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ ve contacted news people with the facts ; and nothing happens .
So we begin with a few citations .
July 26 , 2000 , Journal of the American Medical Association ; author , Dr. Barbara Starfield , revered public health expert at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health ; “ Is US health really the best in the world ?
” Starfield reported that the US medical system kills 225,000 Americans a year .
106,000 as a result of FDA-approved medical drugs , and 119,000 as a result of mistreatment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ numbers to a decade : that ’ s 2.25 million deaths .
You might want to read that last number again .
I interviewed Starfield in 2009 .
I asked her whether she was aware of any overall effort by the US government to eliminate this holocaust , and whether she had ever been contacted by any government agency to consult on such an effort .
She answered a resounding NO to both questions .
She also said her estimate of medically caused deaths in America was on the conservative side .
Here @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , 2012 ( BMJ 2012:344 : e3989 ) .
Author , Jeanne Lenzer .
Lenzer refers to a report by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices : “ It [ the Institute ] calculated that in 2011 prescription drugs were associated with two to four million people in the US experiencing ‘ serious , disabling , or fatal injuries , including 128,000 deaths.
’ ” The report called this “ one of the most significant perils to humans resulting from human activity.
” The report was compiled by outside researchers who went into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ serious adverse [ medical-drug ] events.
” The Chronic Fatigue Sy ... Ortleb , Charles Best Price : $ 16.55 Buy New $ 17.95 Therefore , to say the FDA isn ’ t aware of this finding would be absurd .
The FDA knows .
The FDA knows and it isn ’ t saying anything about it , because the FDA certifies , as safe and effective , all the medical drugs that are routinely maiming and killing Americans .
Every public health agency knows the truth .
Here is another citation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Epidemic of Sickness and Death from Prescription Drugs.
” The author is Donald Light , who teaches at Rowan University , and was the 2013 recipient of ASA ’ s [ American Sociological Association ’ s ] Distinguished Career Award for the Practice of Sociology .

In 2013 , he was a fellow at the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard .
He is a Lokey Visiting Professor at Stanford University .
Donald Light : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ drugs are the fourth leading cause of death , tied with stroke at about 2,460 deaths each week in the United States .
About 330,000 patients die each year from prescription drugs in the United States and Europe .
They [ the drugs ] cause an epidemic of about 20 times more hospitalizations [ 6.6 million annually ] , as well as falls , road accidents , and [ annually ] about 80 million medically minor problems such as pains , discomforts , and dysfunctions that hobble productivity or the ability to care @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from overmedication , errors , and self-medication would increase these figures.
” ( ASA publication , “ Footnotes , ” November 2014 ) —Another study , published in the Journal of the American Medical Association on April 15 , 1998 : “ Incidence of Adverse Drug Reactions in Hospitalized Patients.
” It , too , is mind-boggling .
The authors , led by Jason Lazarou , culled 39 previous studies on patients in hospitals .
These patients , who received drugs in hospitals , or were admitted to hospitals because they were suffering @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , met the following fate : JUST IMAGINE ... : A SEC ... Holmes , Dr Joel S Buy New $ 7.95 Every year , in the US , between 76,000 and 137,000 hospitalized patients die as a direct result of the drugs .
Beyond that , every year 2.2 million hospitalized patients experience serious adverse reactions to the drugs .
The authors write : “ …Our study on ADRs [ Adverse Drug Reactions ] , which excludes medication errors , had a different objective : to show that there are a large @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are properly prescribed and administered.
” So this study had nothing to do with doctor errors , nurse errors , or improper combining of drugs .
And it only counted people killed who were admitted to hospitals .
It didn ’ t begin to tally all the people taking pharmaceuticals who died as consequence of the drugs , without being admitted to hospitals .
( Note : none of the studies and reviews I ’ m citing in this article include damage and death as a result of vaccines . )
The statistics @ @ @ @ @ @ @ problem on the level of a tsunami sweeping across the whole of America and Europe .
Why won ’ t major media outlets report these facts and pound on their significance ?
The obvious reason : their big-spending pharmaceutical advertisers would drop them like hot potatoes .
But there are other reasons .
Above the Law : The Ins ... Whitaker , Matthew Buy New $ 26.09 Every medical bureaucrat or medical shill or medical expert who jumps aboard the media train , to assure the public that drugs and vaccines are remarkably @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bomb I have described above .
If this bomb were widely recognized , who would continue to believe these professional pundits ?
Who would accept anything they say ?
How could they possibly sustain their credibility ?
“ Well , the system I represent kills 2.25 million people per decade , and maims between 20 and 40 million more people per decade , but I want to assure you this vaccine presents no problems at all .
It ’ s incredibly safe.
” Every single pronouncement , on any subject , issued via @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Truth ( major media ) , would fall on disbelieving ears , and only increase general outrage .
Mainstream reporters and editors and publishers are well aware that telling the truth would undermine a basic institution of society .
The media are there to give credibility to society and its structures .
That ’ s why they ’ re called “ major ” instead of “ minor.
” When hard rains fall , the media are there with an umbrella to hold over organized society ’ s head .
To walk away in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the status quo unprotected .
“ Defending the Crown ” is another way to put it .
The King may make mistakes , he may commit heinous offenses , but he is the King , and therefore his position must remain secure .
Young journalists learn this point quickly .
If in their zeal , they cross the threshold and attempt to expose a central myth , fairy tale , legend , they ’ re put back in their place .
They absorb the message .
Journalism has limits .
Certain truths are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ... Jon Rappoport Best Price : $ 7.81 Buy New $ 1.99 Over the years , I ’ ve talked to reporters who are solidly addicted to obfuscations .
Like any addict , they have an army of excuses to rationalize their behavior .
The medical experts are worse .
Their pretense of idealism knows no limits , and is matched only by their fatuous claim to bullet-proof knowledge .
When you peel the veneer away , they are enablers , persons of interest , co-conspirators .
There is nothing quite like a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the King ’ s circle of protectors .
The arrogance is titanic .
Because what is being hidden is so explosive .
It is the duty of the Crown to make his subjects feel safe and protected and even loved .
No wonder he needs such a large army of trained helpers in and around the press .
He has them .
But their monopoly is breaking down .
We ’ re in a new breakout level of truth .
It ’ s called independent media .
So…on the subject of epidemics , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government enablers , and the compliant press , and doctors tell us that a new virus is sweeping the world , a vaccine will stop it , and we must take that vaccine…why should anyone fall in line and accept their words ?
Professional liars , professional criminals may pretend they are spouting science , but they are merely relying on the ignorance of the public .
It may interest you to know that the US system of reporting severe adverse effects of vaccines is broken .
There are no reliable numbers .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ National Vaccine Information Center , has put together a reasonable estimate : “ But how many children have [ adverse ] vaccine reactions every year ?
Is it really only one in 110,000 or one in a million who are left permanently disabled after vaccination ?
Former FDA Commissioner David Kessler observed in 1993 that less than 1 percent of doctors report adverse events following prescription drug use .
[ See DA Kessler , ‘ Introducing MEDWatch , ’ JAMA , June 2 , 1993 : 2765-2768 ] ” “ There have been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 10 percent of doctors report hospitalizations , injuries , deaths , or other serious health problems following vaccination .
The 1986 Vaccine Injury Act contained no legal sanctions for not reporting ; doctors can refuse to report and suffer no consequences.
” “ Even so , each year about 12,000 reports are made to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System [ VAERS ] ; parents as well as doctors can make those reports .
[ See RT Chen , B. Hibbs , ‘ Vaccine safety , ’ Pediatric Annals , July 1998 : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that number represents only 10 percent of what is actually occurring , then the actual number may be 120,000 vaccine-adverse events [ per year ] .
If doctors report vaccine reactions as infrequently as Dr. Kessler said they report prescription-drug reactions , and the number 12,000 is only 1 percent of the actual total , then the real number may be 1.2 million vaccine-adverse events annually.
” Medical illiteracy in the population—the public health experts and the pharmaceutical titans feast on it .
It allows them to get away with mass murder every @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is too strong a word , I ’ ll close with this : it ’ s simple—when you ’ re in a profession that keeps killing and maiming people at a tragic and astonishing rate , and you know it and do nothing about it , you ’ re guilty .

Cloth and surgical masks do not have a fit test. When worn, gaps around the edges allow small particles to enter the respiratory system. Also, according to the May 2010 edition of PLoS One, lack of eye protection was a primary risk factor of SARS-CoV transmission.
Wearing a mask for seven hours straight may not be safe. Carbon dioxide (CO2) rebreathing has been recognized as a concern in the Ergonomics Journal. The CDC has also admitted that the CO2 slowly builds up in the mask over time. This build-up can cause a condition called Hypercapnia. Essentially, CO2 poisoning – can cause mild symptoms of drowsiness or a headache. More severe symptoms can cause shortness of breath and even death. On May 6th, 2020, the New York Post reported the death of two boys dying within a week of each other while wearing a face mask during gym class. Just Me and My Dad (Li...

In February, the CDC said they don’t recommend people use face masks. The World Health Organization also advised people to wear a mask only if they are displaying symptoms of Coronavirus or “taking care of a person with a suspected 2019-nCoV infection.”
There is zero scientific evidence that wearing a mask, especially for more extended periods, protects us. However, several studies found significant problems with wearing one. Side-effects range from headaches to increased airway resistance, carbon dioxide accumulation, hypoxia, to more severe complications.
In the Head and Neck Pain Journal, most healthcare workers develop de novo PPE‐associated headaches or exacerbation of their pre‐existing headache disorders.
When a person is infected with a respiratory virus, they will expel some of the virus with each breath. Wearing a mask creates a situation in which the individual continually breathes back in their viruses—breathing viruses back in raises the concentration of the virus in the lungs and nasal passages. It has been studied that those with a higher number of viral particles can develop a more severe illness. A recent study out of China published in the Lancet Journal reported a strong association between Covid19 disease severity and the amount of virus present in the nose. I Love You, Daddy Parragon Books Best Price: $2.25 Buy New $3.99 (as of 05:17 UTC - Details)
The Antimicrobial Resistance & Infection Control Journal demonstrated, “Breathing through N95 mask materials have been shown to impede gaseous exchange and impose an additional workload on the metabolic system of pregnant healthcare workers. The benefits of using an N95 mask to prevent serious emerging infectious diseases should be weighed against potential respiratory consequences associated with extended N95 respirator usage.
Wearing a mask could put you at a greater risk of getting Covid19. Regular cloth or surgical masks, irritate the user, causing the user to touch their face with dirty hands more often. Also, the Coronavirus spreads in droplets, which most masks do not block. These masks can actually trap droplets inside, increasing risk instead of reducing it.
Masks also hamper oxygen intake; the body and the immune system require optimal levels of oxygen to feed cells and fight off illness, including Covid19. When studied, surgeons who wore surgical masks had a decrease in blood O2 saturation and an increase in pulse rates of the surgeons after the operations due to surgical mask usage.
According to the Journal of Biomedicines, our oxygen concentration is closely associated with cell survival and immune functioning, making one more susceptible to illness. My Dad Is Amazing (A H... Moyle, Sabrina Best Price: $2.59 Buy New $4.81 (as of 05:17 UTC - Details)
Masks can cause difficulty and labored breathing – even in a healthy individual. Blocking air even partially puts excess stress on thoracic muscles and the diaphragm, causing a person to feel out of breath. Wearing a mask can also make a person feel anxiety and panic. Claustrophobia and a feeling of suffocation must be acknowledged, especially among individuals who have Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and other mental health issues.
So, in summary, mask-wearing can be dangerous and is shown over and over again to be ineffective. It appears masks are more effective in helping to spread illness, by providing a surface for viruses to collect on, like carrying a petri dish in front of your face. According to the Americans with Disabilities Act, if wearing a mask poses a mental or physical risk, there are exemptions. So please don’t mandate them to attend school, and please don’t teach the masses to hate and shame those that do not comply. This conditioning leads people to be more willing to follow irrational orders and do things without questioning authority, or logic, in the future. When there is a risk, there should always be a choice.

lewrockwell--2020-05-22--How Bill Gates Monopolized Global Health

If you think Bill Gates ’ grandiose plan to force vaccinate over 7 billion people against COVID-19 is delusional , think again .
The Microsoft billionaire — who has no public health education ( he didn ’ t even finish college ) — has proposed plans that go far beyond the mandating of a vaccine .
They also include a global dragnet of digital surveillance to track and monitor all people , and trace the contacts of anyone testing positive for COVID-19 .
Of course , COVID-19 is just the initial excuse .
There ’ s no reason in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ surveillance system would be dismantled once the pandemic is declared over .
Naturally , it will simply transition into other surveillance functions .
Who knows just how many diseases it might track and trace ?
We Have Been Harmonize ... Strittmatter , Kai Buy New $ 30.99 Of course , this system will also be used to make sure everyone has been vaccinated with any and all vaccines deemed necessary for domestic and international travel , education , work and social activities involving other people .
I wrote about this in “ Rockefeller @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” We also have every reason to believe this disease tracking system will be combined with a digital identification and economic system to enforce compliance .
Signs that an all-encompassing global totalitarian plan is being quietly put together , piece by piece , are all around us .
May 6 , 2020 , Techxplore reported1 a “ new nonprofit charity ” called The Mojaloop Foundation will “ promote digital payments for people outside the financial system , with support from Google and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
” Fortune magazine reported2 the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ adding that other founding sponsors of The Mojaloop Foundation include “ the Rockefeller Foundation , the philanthropy and investing group Omidyar Network , and the financial technology startups Coil and ModusBox.
” So , right there we have Google , the Gates Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation , all in one little nonprofit with a heart set on giving poor people access to affordable digital banking using their cellphones .
At the same time : • The Rockefeller Foundation ’ s white paper , “ National COVID-19 Testing Action Plan — Strategic Steps @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” released April 21 , 2020 , calls for the use of a digital “ patient identification number ” to track all Americans after testing them for COVID-19 , and • Gavi , the Vaccine Alliance , set up with funds from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation , has partnered with the ID2020 Alliance to launch a digital identity program called ID2020 in Bangladesh , and • Gates funded the creation of EarthNow , a project involving 500 satellites equipped with machine learning technology to surveil the entire planet with real-time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is Japanese billionaire Masayoshi Son , CEO of SoftBank , which owns Fortress Investment Group , the private equity firm that manages America ’ s largest news network , Gannett , which has more than 260 dailies under its umbrella .
, Give me a break .
Enough already .
You ’ d have to be both blind and mentally impaired to not be able to piece together the grand plan , it ’ s so blatantly obvious once you spend just a few minutes to evaluate the evidence .
The featured video @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Corbett Report on Bill Gates , where in his usual fashion , investigative journalist James Corbett strings together a cohesive narrative at a rapid clip .
Part 1 reviews how Gates ended up in a position to monopolize global health , despite his complete and utter lack of health or medical education .
In Part 2 , he lays out Gates ’ plan to vaccinate the global population .
As noted by Corbett , Gates ’ rise to influence on global health matters is founded not on expertise but on money .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Gates gained public adoration by donating money to “ humanitarian causes ” — and purchasing good publicity .
As noted by Corbett:8 As noted by Corbett , “ The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation ’ s fingerprints can be seen on every major global health initiative of the past two decades.
” This includes : • The private and public partnership to combat 10 neglected tropical diseases ( a partnership involving 13 drug companies , the U.S. , the U.K. and United Arab Emirate governments , and the World Bank ) • @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Tuberculosis and Malaria • Hundreds of grants to small countries and specific regions Gates Has ( Not so Secretly ) Led Global Pandemic Response Importantly , Corbett points out that Gates ’ $ 250 million pledge to fight COVID-19 , “ every aspect of the current coronavirus pandemic involves organizations , groups and individuals with direct ties to Gates funding.
” This includes the World Health Organization , of course , but also the two research groups responsible for shaping the decision to lock down the U.K. and U.S. — the Imperial College @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Health Metrics and Evaluation — as well as the National Institutes of Health , and the NIH ’ s Dr. Anthony Fauci , who has been leading the White House pandemic response team .
Fauci has direct ties to Gates , via both collaborative projects and funding .
For example , Fauci is part of Gates ’ Decade of Vaccine leadership council , which has tasked itself with implementing the Global Vaccine Action Plan .
Gates has committed a staggering $ 10 billion to this plan .
Lo and behold , despite the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a medical science background , he ’ s parroting Gates ’ statements that nothing can go back to normal until or unless we have a vaccine .
The Invisible Enemy Garrett , Mr. Gregory L ... Buy New $ 26.94 Then , of course , there ’ s Event 201 , a tabletop exercise staged in October 2019 in which the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation , the World Economic Forum and the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security got together to gauge “ the economic and societal impact of a globally-spreading coronavirus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : Indeed , I wrote about this illegal setup in “ Bill Gates — Most Dangerous Philanthropist in Modern History ?
” As noted by Corbett , despite giving away billions of dollars , Gates ’ “ Decade of Vaccines ” has been profitable in the extreme , doubling his worth from $ 54 billion to $ 103.1 billion .
Somehow , by giving money away , he makes even more in return .
Vaccinating the World Could Have Catastrophic Consequences In Part 2 , Corbett reviews Gates ’ plan to vaccinate over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said life can not and will not go back to normal until we have enough vaccines to inoculate the global population .
A timeframe of 18 months was originally given by Gates , and this has since been dutifully regurgitated by various heads of state , health officials and media .
Sadly , they absolutely demolished this original , highly aggressive and unsafe timeline and human trials were actually started in March 2020 .
They are now anticipating to roll out the vaccine THIS FALL.10 As if their super rushed non-safety tested vaccine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the GSK and Sanofi COVID-19 vaccine will be produced in insect cells with the dangerous squalene adjuvant.11 The media has also ignored , downplayed or censored as fake news recommendations to boost your immune system .
Hydroxychloroquine , a decades ’ old drug with a long safety record and a small price tag has been systematically pushed under the rug as being experimental , unproven and potentially unsafe — this , despite countless reports from doctors in the field saying it ’ s the thing that seems to work the best , most @ @ @ @ @ @ @ involved ?
What do you think ?
If an inexpensive ancient drug works , then vaccine development might be a waste of time and money .

If you think Bill Gates’ grandiose plan to force vaccinate over 7 billion people against COVID-19 is delusional, think again. The Microsoft billionaire — who has no public health education (he didn’t even finish college) — has proposed plans that go far beyond the mandating of a vaccine.
They also include a global dragnet of digital surveillance to track and monitor all people, and trace the contacts of anyone testing positive for COVID-19. Of course, COVID-19 is just the initial excuse.
There’s no reason in the world to believe this gigantic global disease surveillance system would be dismantled once the pandemic is declared over. Naturally, it will simply transition into other surveillance functions. Who knows just how many diseases it might track and trace?
We Have Been Harmonize... Strittmatter, Kai Buy New $30.99 (as of 05:21 UTC - Details) Of course, this system will also be used to make sure everyone has been vaccinated with any and all vaccines deemed necessary for domestic and international travel, education, work and social activities involving other people. I wrote about this in “Rockefeller Foundation’s Plan to Track Americans.”
The Grand Plan Is a Totalitarian Surveillance Regime
We also have every reason to believe this disease tracking system will be combined with a digital identification and economic system to enforce compliance.
Signs that an all-encompassing global totalitarian plan is being quietly put together, piece by piece, are all around us. May 6, 2020, Techxplore reported1 a “new nonprofit charity” called The Mojaloop Foundation will “promote digital payments for people outside the financial system, with support from Google and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.”
Fortune magazine reported2 the same story on the same day, adding that other founding sponsors of The Mojaloop Foundation include “the Rockefeller Foundation, the philanthropy and investing group Omidyar Network, and the financial technology startups Coil and ModusBox.”
So, right there we have Google, the Gates Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation, all in one little nonprofit with a heart set on giving poor people access to affordable digital banking using their cellphones. At the same time:
The Rockefeller Foundation’s white paper, 3 “National COVID-19 Testing Action Plan — Strategic Steps to Reopen Our Workplaces and Our Communities,” released April 21, 2020, calls for the use of a digital “patient identification number” to track all Americans after testing them for COVID-19, and
“National COVID-19 Testing Action Plan — Strategic Steps to Reopen Our Workplaces and Our Communities,” released April 21, 2020, calls for the use of a digital “patient identification number” to track all Americans after testing them for COVID-19, and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, set up with funds from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, has partnered with the ID2020 Alliance to launch a digital identity program called ID2020 in Bangladesh, 4 and
and Gates funded the creation of EarthNow, a project involving 500 satellites equipped with machine learning technology to surveil the entire planet with real-time video. 5 Another funder of this project is Japanese billionaire Masayoshi Son, CEO of SoftBank, which owns Fortress Investment Group, the private equity firm that manages America’s largest news network, Gannett, which has more than 260 dailies under its umbrella. 6 , 7
Give me a break. Enough already. You’d have to be both blind and mentally impaired to not be able to piece together the grand plan, it’s so blatantly obvious once you spend just a few minutes to evaluate the evidence.
How Gates Monopolized Global Health
The featured video above contains Parts 1 and 2 of The Corbett Report on Bill Gates, where in his usual fashion, investigative journalist James Corbett strings together a cohesive narrative at a rapid clip.
Part 1 reviews how Gates ended up in a position to monopolize global health, despite his complete and utter lack of health or medical education. In Part 2, he lays out Gates’ plan to vaccinate the global population.
As noted by Corbett, Gates’ rise to influence on global health matters is founded not on expertise but on money. Just like John D. Rockefeller before him, Gates gained public adoration by donating money to “humanitarian causes” — and purchasing good publicity. As noted by Corbett:8
“The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation spends tens of millions of dollars per year on media partnerships, sponsoring coverage of its program areas across the board. Gates funds The Guardian’s Global Development website. Gates funds NPR’s global health coverage.
Gates funds the Our World in Data website that is tracking the latest statistics and research on the coronavirus pandemic. Gates funds BBC coverage of global health and development issues, both through its BBC Media Action organization and the BBC itself. Gates funds world health coverage on ABC News.
When the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer was given a $3.5 million Gates foundation grant to set up a special unit to report on global health issues, NewsHour communications chief Rob Flynn was asked about the potential conflict of interest that such a unit would have in reporting on issues that the Gates Foundation is itself involved in.
‘In some regards I guess you might say that there are not a heck of a lot of things you could touch in global health these days that would not have some kind of Gates tentacle,’ Flynn responded. Indeed, it would be almost impossible to find any area of global health that has been left untouched by the tentacles of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.”
As noted by Corbett, “The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s fingerprints can be seen on every major global health initiative of the past two decades.” This includes:
Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance
The private and public partnership to combat 10 neglected tropical diseases 9 (a partnership involving 13 drug companies, the U.S., the U.K. and United Arab Emirate governments, and the World Bank)
(a partnership involving 13 drug companies, the U.S., the U.K. and United Arab Emirate governments, and the World Bank) Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations
The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria
Global Financing Facility for Women, Children and Adolescents
Hundreds of grants to small countries and specific regions
Gates Has (Not so Secretly) Led Global Pandemic Response
Importantly, Corbett points out that Gates’ $250 million pledge to fight COVID-19, “every aspect of the current coronavirus pandemic involves organizations, groups and individuals with direct ties to Gates funding.”
This includes the World Health Organization, of course, but also the two research groups responsible for shaping the decision to lock down the U.K. and U.S. — the Imperial College COVID-19 Research Team and the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation — as well as the National Institutes of Health, and the NIH’s Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has been leading the White House pandemic response team.
Fauci has direct ties to Gates, via both collaborative projects and funding. For example, Fauci is part of Gates’ Decade of Vaccine leadership council, which has tasked itself with implementing the Global Vaccine Action Plan. Gates has committed a staggering $10 billion to this plan. Lo and behold, despite the fact that Fauci is the one with a medical science background, he’s parroting Gates’ statements that nothing can go back to normal until or unless we have a vaccine.

Then, of course, there’s Event 201, a tabletop exercise staged in October 2019 in which the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the World Economic Forum and the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security got together to gauge “the economic and societal impact of a globally-spreading coronavirus pandemic,” Corbett says, adding:
“Given the incredible reach that the tentacles of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation have into every corner of the global health markets, it should not be surprising that the foundation has been intimately involved with every stage of the current pandemic crisis, either.
In effect, Gates has merely used the wealth from his domination of the software market to leverage himself into a similar position in the world of global health. The whole process has been cloaked in the mantle of selfless philanthropy, but the foundation is not structured as a charitable endeavor.
Instead, it maintains a dual structure: the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation distributes money to grantees, but a separate entity, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Trust, manages the endowment assets. These two entities often have overlapping interests, and, as has been noted many times in the past, grants given by the foundation often directly benefit the value of the trust’s assets.”
Indeed, I wrote about this illegal setup in “Bill Gates — Most Dangerous Philanthropist in Modern History?” As noted by Corbett, despite giving away billions of dollars, Gates’ “Decade of Vaccines” has been profitable in the extreme, doubling his worth from $54 billion to $103.1 billion. Somehow, by giving money away, he makes even more in return.
Vaccinating the World Could Have Catastrophic Consequences
In Part 2, Corbett reviews Gates’ plan to vaccinate over 7 billion people. He has repeatedly said life cannot and will not go back to normal until we have enough vaccines to inoculate the global population. A timeframe of 18 months was originally given by Gates, and this has since been dutifully regurgitated by various heads of state, health officials and media.
Sadly, they absolutely demolished this original, highly aggressive and unsafe timeline and human trials were actually started in March 2020. They are now anticipating to roll out the vaccine THIS FALL.10 As if their super rushed non-safety tested vaccine launch wasn’t bad enough, the GSK and Sanofi COVID-19 vaccine will be produced in insect cells with the dangerous squalene adjuvant.11
The media has also ignored, downplayed or censored as fake news recommendations to boost your immune system. Hydroxychloroquine, a decades’ old drug with a long safety record and a small price tag has been systematically pushed under the rug as being experimental, unproven and potentially unsafe — this, despite countless reports from doctors in the field saying it’s the thing that seems to work the best, most of the time.
Could money be involved? What do you think? If an inexpensive ancient drug works, then vaccine development might be a waste of time and money. If people can safeguard themselves against COVID-19 by reversing insulin resistance, then the death toll might not warrant a global vaccination scheme. Of course it’s about money.
The problem we’re facing if we go forward with Gates’ and Rockefeller’s plan — which fit together like hand in glove — is that the history of coronavirus vaccine development is rife with problems, and those problems could turn into a global catastrophe if everyone gets vaccinated with a fast-tracked vaccine that hasn’t gone through appropriate safety testing.

In my recent interview with Robert Kennedy Jr. above, he summarized the history of coronavirus vaccine development, which began after three SARS epidemics had broken out, starting in early 2002.
“The first [coronavirus outbreak] was a natural epidemic that had moved from bats to human beings. The second two were lab-created organisms where people were experimenting with the coronavirus … That’s noncontroversial. Everybody accepts that. The Chinese, the Americans, the Europeans all got together and said, ‘We need to develop a vaccine against coronavirus.’
Around 2012, they had about 30 vaccines that looked promising. They took the four best of those and … manufactured the vaccines. They gave those vaccines to ferrets, which are the closest analogy when you’re looking at lung infections in human beings.
The ferrets had an extraordinarily good antibody response, and that is the metric by which FDA licenses vaccines. Vaccines, as you know, are never tested in the field. They never give 5,000 people the vaccine, 5,000 people a placebo vaccine, and then tell them to go out and live life and watch what happens to those people. That never happens.
The way that vaccines get licensed is that FDA gives people a vaccine or the industry gives them the vaccines, and then they do a serological response [test to] see ‘Did you develop in your blood antibodies to that target virus?’ The ferrets developed very strong antibodies, so they thought, ‘We hit the jackpot.’ All four of these vaccines … worked like a charm.
Then something terrible happened. Those ferrets were then exposed to the wild virus, and they all died. [They developed] inflammation in all their organs, their lungs stopped functioning and they died.”
It’s worth repeating in case you missed it. The vaccines worked great, based on vaccine theory, but when the vaccinated animals were exposed to the wild virus, they died. This is as bad an outcome as one could possibly get. Kennedy continued: American Vinyl No Bill... Buy New $5.99 (as of 05:21 UTC - Details)
“Then those scientists remembered that the same thing had happened in the 1960s when they tried to develop an RSV vaccine, which is an upper respiratory illness very similar to coronavirus. At the time, they did not test it on animals. They went right to human testing.
They tested it on I think about 35 children, and the same thing happened. The children developed a champion antibody response — robust, durable. It looked perfect [but when] the children were exposed to the wild virus, they all became sick. Two of them died. They abandoned the vaccine. It was a big embarrassment to FDA and NIH …
Those scientists in 2012 remembered that, and they said, ‘This is the same thing that happened [back then].’ So, they look closer and they realize that there are two kinds of antibodies that were being produced by the coronavirus. There are neutralizing antibodies, which are the kind you want, which fight the disease, and then there are binding antibodies.
The binding antibodies actually create a pathway for the disease in your body, and they trigger something called … a paradoxical immune response or paradoxical immune enhancement. What that means is that it looks good until you get the disease, and then it makes the disease much, much worse …
Coronavirus vaccines can be very dangerous, and that’s why even our enemies, people who hate you and me — Peter Hotez, Paul Offit, Ian Lipkin — are all saying, ‘You got to be really, really careful with this vaccine.'”
So, are all current COVID-19 vaccine developers aware of this research? They should be. Just what kind of plan do they have to circumvent this paradoxical immune enhancement that coronaviruses trigger? Needless to say, COVID-19 vaccine makers will be indemnified from financial liability no matter how many casualties a fast-tracked vaccine might cause.
In fact, Gates has suggested that if just 1 in 10,000 persons has serious side effects, then that means 700,000 people will suffer from the vaccine’s administration, and that’s why “governments will have to be involved because there will be some risk and indemnification needed before that can be decided on.”12
Meanwhile, Gates and the various companies and organizations involved in this global disease and vaccination surveillance plan all stand to make an unfathomable amount of money, not just from vaccines but from all the tracking, tracing and surveillance infrastructure that surrounds it.
This is clearly a decisive moment in time. What will you choose — Totalitarianism, or a life of liberty, even if it involves a degree of risk? Remember, government cannot keep you safe from disease. Only you can do that. Government really should safeguard public freedom, not public health at the expense of human liberty.
