Jeremy Farrar, director of the Wellcome Trust and his co-conspirators with a Vietnam connection (Peter Horby and Rick Bright)

Before Sir Dr. Jeremy Farrar got the plum job of CEO of the wealthiest foundation in the UK and one of the wealthiest in the world, he did research for Oxford University in Vietnam for 18 years.  It seems curious how one job led to the other. Will (as is said to happen in Las Vegas) what happened in Vietnam stay in Vietnam? Or will internet sleuths tell us how Farrar was groomed in Vietnam for his current role? 

Wikipedia describes Farrar's childhood :  

Early life and education[edit]

Born in Singapore, Farrar is the youngest of six children in his family. His father taught English and his mother was a writer and artist. Due to his father's work, he spent his childhood in New Zealand, Cyprus and Libya.[15]

Daddy was an English teacher who moved from one highly strategic location to another?  Doubt it. Daddy was probably a spy. If so, Farrar probably comes by his cunning honestly.  

He is a member of SAGE and CEPI, and has had previous dealings with key people like Soumya Swaminathan, who played crucial roles in suppressing the use of drugs for Covid, and is being sued by the Indian Bar Association over it. 

Here's a photo from Oxford:

Vietnam is a country where two other co-conspirators on the hydroxychloroquine suppression worked, too.  All 3 had something to do with vaccine trials there.  Hmmm.

Oxford researchers Martin Landray (left) and Peter Horby helped save an estimated 1 million lives worldwide in their study on an effective treatment for Covid-19.

When Dr. Martin Landray approached Jeremy Farrar about starting a large multicenter clinical trial in the UK, Farrar told him to talk to Horby. Landray did so, and Horby and Landray became the Principal Investigators for the Recovery trial.  Landray was not in on the scheme to overdose patients with hydroxychloroquine, because when he was interviewed by FranceSoir, an online newspaper, he made several mistakes discussing the dose of hydroxychloroquine used. He simply had no idea about the overdoses. (FranceSoir knew.) Landray had been too busy to look up the dose, apparently, that he was responsible for giving to 1600 human guinea pigs.  

Dr. Horby then attempted to give Landray cover in some tweets I read last May or June. Horby said France Soir did not transcribe what Landray said accurately.  But France Soir had the recording, so that excuse didn't fly. I blogged about this at the time.

FranceSoir further revealed how the two Recovery Principal Investigators went back and made changes to the trial documents to cover themselves. 

Neither Landray nor Horby has so much as apologized for using borderline fatal doses in their subjects. Were the subjects' families ever told? Probably not. This happened in the days when there was no visitation allowed in hospitals, and relatives of hospital patients usually had no idea about their treatments. 

Horby is currently on the UK's SAGE committee and is chairman of the NERVTAG committee in the UK, where he continues to exert major influence over the conduct of the pandemic response. Guess what?  Two co-conspirators with Fauci/Farrar/Collins on those early February calls included Sir Patrick Vallance and Professor Michael Ferguson, who both serve on SAGE along with Peter Horby, keeping the UK locked down as well as covered up.

Horby and Landray have been rewarded this week with special honours from Queen Elizabeth.  

Peter Horby, Director of the Pandemic Sciences Centre, and Professor of Emerging and Infectious Diseases and Global Health, becomes a Knight Bachelor for services to Medical Research.

Martin Landray, Deputy Director of the Big Data Institute, and Professor of Medicine and Epidemiology, becomes a Knight Bachelor for services to Science and Public Health.

When the news about the Recovery trial's fatal doses came out (I learned it from others on twitter) the hydroxychloroquine arm of the trial quickly ended, and Landray and Horby simply said the drug didn't work.  They acknowledged that there were about 10-20% more deaths in the hydroxychloroquine arm than in the placebo ("usual care," a.k.a. no drug treatment arm) but have never acknowledged any mistakes, let alone wrongdoing. Using the published Recovery trial statistics, there were about 60 excess deaths over placebo in the HCQ arm (of 400 total) that we can say were likely secondary to an HCQ overdose, and perhaps more if the HCQ benefited some of those who survived the high doses.

Peter Horby, a physician, worked in Vietnam and overlapped there with Farrar.  Both should have known the proper dose of antimalarial drugs, since it is likely they used the drugs for themselves, or were involved in treating malaria. Or they may have used mefloquine, another antimalarial with anti-Covid effects, which was also being suppressed but got no press last year.

Rick Bright
Rick A. Bright.jpg

The third interesting Vietnam connection is Rick Bright, PhD, the head of BARDA who worked with FDA to use the Emergency Use Authorization for donated Covid drugs in the National Strategic Stockpile as a means to interfere with doctors' use of chloroquine drugs for patients.  He made the mistake of bragging about this after Trump fired him, claiming that he had been responsible for saving the country from a dangerous drug that Trump had wanted used, and thereby incriminated himself. 

Bright had worked in Vietnam, and therefore was probably very familiar with antimalarials; overlapped his time in Vietnam with Horby and Farrar in our cast of characters; and had the job of doling out $1.5 billion per year as head of BARDA. Bright had a critical role in suppressing the chloroquine drugs.

Bright was resurrected and made a member of the coronavirus task force by President-elect Biden last November.  Like Daszak, Bright apparently knew his public criticisms of Trump were protected speech--protected by very powerful allies.

It is of great interest that Collins, Fauci, Farrar and Bright were all given the responsiblity to dole out huge pots of money. Rita Colwell, another Lancet letter signatory, had distributed huge amounts of federal largesse when she was Director of the National Science Foundation.

What is BARDA? It is a federal agency within DHHS:

"The Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) provides an integrated, systematic approach to the development of the necessary vaccines, drugs, therapies, and diagnostic tools for public health medical emergencies such as chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) accidents, incidents and attacks; pandemic influenza (PI), and emerging infectious diseases (EID).

Together with its industry partners, BARDA promotes the advanced development of medical countermeasures to protect Americans and respond to 21st century health security threats."

Here is what Sir Jeremy Farrar said about testing new drugs at the onset of the Covid pandemic.

"…Investing now, at scale, at risk and as a collective global effort is vital if we are to change the course of this epidemic. We welcome others to join us in this effort."

-Dr. Jeremy Farrar, Director of Wellcome

And so the Covid Therapeutics Accelerator was begun, with core funding from : 

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), Wellcome Trust, and Mastercard. 

All 3 played important roles in the shaping of the Covid response for their own benefit.  Mastercard used it to advance digital money, since handling money allegedly exposed people to the virus. BMGF and Wellcome used their research funding to suppress useful drugs and prolong the pandemic, while using the opportunity to test new drugs and new drug platforms, like mRNA, in which they were invested.

The Covid Accelerator website is hosted by the BMGF. While this organization did fund some hydroxychloroquine trials, if memory serves, at least 2 were shut down before completion, including one at the University of Washington, which is practically a subsidiary of the BMGF.  The early Henry Ford hospital trial, which showed great benefit from hydroxychloroquine, never got any traction, though the doctors involved tried hard to be heard. 

The Bangkok-based, Oxford-funded MORU COPCOV trial was put on hold in May by the UK authorities (is this why Sir Patrick Vallance, the UK government's Chief Scientific Adviser, was brought in as a co-conspirator, to control the trials of beneficial drugs in the UK?) on the basis of the danger of hydroxychloroquine, even though only tiny prophylactic doses were being used. By May, apparently, the plan had changed, and the new goal was to shut down the hydroxychloroquine trials.  While, on the other hand, some trials were set up under Wellcome and BMGF's funding so their management and/or findings could be controlled. 

The fabricated Lancet Surgisphere study, which claimed the chloroquine drugs killed, was published on May 22. Everyone has wondered how the Lancet could have published this obviously fabricated paper, but there has never been any explanation. Now, after the email revelations have emerged, I would bet money that Tony Fauci (shall we call him The Godfather of American medicine?) or Patrick Vallance made it happen.

Martin Landray was quoted in a BMJ article as saying the hydroxychloroquine doses in the clinical trial had been determined by Oxford professor, Bangkok-based Nicholas White, MD, an expert on malaria and its drugs, and principal investigator of the MORU COPCOV trial of HCQ for prophylaxis in medical workers. I think Landray was wrong.  Nicholas White wrote a paper for the study that included detailed information on dosing of the chloroquine drugs, and nowhere did it recommend the excessive doses used in the Recovery trial. 

However, epidemiologist modelers of malaria pharmacokinetics from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation were involved in advising The World Health Organization on the drug doses used in the Solidarity trial.  Not by chance did both Solidarity and Recovery trials use the identical excess dosing schedule. Not by chance was Sir Jeremy Farrar intimately involved in both trials.

After I learned of the excess doses of hydroxychloroquine being used in the Recovery Trial, I searched the net to see what the other multi center trials were doing. That is how I discovered that the REMAP-Covid and Solidarity trials were also using poisonous HCQ doses to treat Covid. I contacted The W.H.O. and the heads of the REMAP trial in mid June 2020 and suggested they could be personally liable if they had not disclosed the known danger of the HCQ doses they were giving subjects in their trials. Solidarity immediately ended its HCQ arm.  I do not know when REMAP ended theirs.

Is Sir Doctor Jeremy James Farrar OBE FRCP FRS FMedSci PhD starting his gig as Chief Scientist at the WHO or not? Nothing yet in the news. His official start date was May 8

 https://merylnass.substack.com/p/is-sir-doctor-jeremy-james-farrar

Was Jeremy's Daddy an agent of the British government, too? And surprise! the head of One Health and the Frozen Food theory at WHO has been fired.

Three weeks ago Jeremy was still in line for the job, due to start today. But so far (and it is 3:30 pm in Geneva right now) nothing has been announced regarding him beginning the job.

Five days ago WHO’s head of its COVID origins inquiry to China got canned. You recall Peter Ben Embarek, who said COVID probably came from frozen food, then later said the Chinese made him say that. He was also the head of One Health at the WHO—in other words, he was a tool who did as told. But he may have done other things too. He has been canned for sexual misconduct.

https://www.reuters.com/world/who-dismisses-lead-covid-origins-investigator-sexual-misconduct-2023-05-03/

GENEVA, May 3 (Reuters) - The World Health Organization said on Wednesday that it has dismissed a senior scientist, known for his role as the head of an international mission to China to probe the origins of COVID-19, for sexual misconduct.

The U.N. agency said Peter Ben Embarek, a Danish scientist who previously headed up its 'One Health' initiative on diseases jumping from animals to humans, was removed from his post last year. In a response to Reuters, Ben Embarek said he contested the accusation of harassment and was challenging the sanction.

"Peter Ben Embarek was dismissed last year following findings of sexual misconduct against him that were substantiated by investigations, and corresponding disciplinary process," said WHO spokesperson Marcia Poole.

As recently as 3 weeks ago, Jeremy was set to take up the helm of Chief Scientist at WHO.

https://www.who.int/news/item/17-04-2023-key-leadership-appointments-made-to-drive-who-strategic-direction-and-initiatives

Dr Jeremy Farrar will become WHO’s Chief Scientist as of 8 May 2023. The appointment of Dr Farrar was previously announced in December 2022. In this role Dr Farrar will oversee the Science Division, bringing together the best experts and networks in science and innovation from around the world to guide, develop and deliver high quality health policies and services to the people who need them most. Prior to joining WHO Dr Farrar was Director of the Wellcome Trust. Before joining Wellcome in 2013 Dr Farrar spent 17 years as Director of the Clinical Research Unit at the Hospital for Tropical Diseases in Viet Nam where his research interests were in global health with a focus on emerging infectious diseases. Dr Farrar is a clinician researcher with a medical degree and a PhD.

In other words, Jeremy’s broad experiences around the world and in giving grants for ‘performance’ will serve him well as he uses carrots and sticks to bring the 194 ntions of the World Health Assembly into the New World Order by way of the WHO’s Global Bio-Security Agenda. He served as the Fauci of the UK, creating networks of bought scientists who he will now be able to parlay as ‘experts’ for pandemic preparedness and planning.

On Jeremy Farrar, from Wikipedia

Born 1 September 1961 in Singapore, Farrar is the youngest of six children in his family. His father taught English and his mother was a writer and artist. Due to his father's work, he spent his childhood in New Zealand, Cyprus and Libya.[16]

In 2004, he and his Vietnamese colleague Tran Tinh Hien identified the re-emergence of the deadly bird flu, or H5N1, in humans.

If you are truly an English teacher, you don’t go work in New Zealand, where English is the native language. If you are truly an English teacher, you probably can’t afford to have six children. If you are truly an English teacher, why did you choose highly strategic spots in which to teach, like Singapore, Cyprus and Libya?

Was Farrar ‘s dad in New Zealand when it decided to be a nuclear free zone, refusing to allow nuclear ships to come to port? Or was he there when French military frogmen bombed the Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior while at port in New Zealand? The Rainbow Warrior would sail into areas where nuclear tests were being run in the Pacific, daring the French and others to blow them up too. For a while there, little New Zealand had a spine and said no to the big powers. Those days are long gone. What led to such dramatic changes in the political landscape of NZ?

Here the New Zealand government tells its story:

In 1985 New Zealand was basking in its position as leader of the anti-nuclear movement. As a country it had clearly punched above its weight. Then, just before midnight on the evening of 10 July, two explosions ripped through the hull of the Greenpeace flagship Rainbow Warrior, which was moored at Marsden Wharf in Auckland.

A Portuguese crew member, Fernando Pereira, was killed in the explosions. The Rainbow Warrior had been involved in protests over French nuclear testing in the Pacific. French Secret Service (DGSE) agents were sent to prevent it leaving for another protest campaign at Mururoa Atoll.

Aftermath:

The New Zealand Nuclear Free Zone, Disarmament, and Arms Control Act was passed into law, establishing this country as a nuclear and biological weapon-free zone.

The Act was passed in the aftermath of the mid-1980s nuclear ships stand-off between New Zealand and the United States. The nuclear-free movement had its roots in ideas that emerged in the 1960s: a push for an independent, ethical foreign policy which grew out of opposition to the Vietnam War; and environmentalism, which sought to preserve New Zealand as a green unspoilt land.

In 1989, 52 per cent of New Zealanders indicated that they would rather break defence ties than admit nuclear-armed ships to their harbours. By 1990, even the National opposition had signed up to anti-nuclearism.

Rainbow Warrior after the attack

Two DGSE officers, Dominique Prieur and Alain Mafart, were arrested on 24 July. Both were charged with murder, pleaded guilty to manslaughter and were sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment. The case was a source of considerable embarrassment to the French government. While the attack was on an international organisation rather than New Zealand itself, most New Zealanders did not make such a distinction. The fact that it was committed on New Zealand territory by a supposed friend produced a sense of outrage and a serious deterioration in relations between New Zealand and France.

In September 2006 the agent who placed the bomb was named as Gerard Royal by his brother, Antoine. Their sister, Ségolène Royal, was the Socialist candidate in the 2007 French presidential elections, and won.

While these doings would likely have resulted in plenty of foreign agents trying to ‘turn’ New Zealand, I have to admit they occurred after Jeremy was in his twenties. So I cannot say how NZ may have been strategic for the UK government when he lived there, since I don’t know when that was. But I leave NZ in the story because yesterday I learned that France’s 2007 Prime Ministerial candidate, Segolene Royal, was the sister of the man who placed the bomb on the Rainbow Warrior. Was Segolene yet another agent? Her 30 year partner, Francois Hollande, then did become France’s PM.

Cyprus is part Greek, part Turkish (and they have battled over it) and hosts a large number of extremely wealthy Russians. According to an old Stratfor website:

Cyprus' location makes it an essential part of any security dynamic in the region. Despite its non-member status, it is a critical component of NATO's Mediterranean operations and would play a central role in the event of NATO intervention in the Levant. This is particularly important to France, which has strong ties to Syria and Lebanon. The United Kingdom hosts two sovereign airbases with approximately 8,000 troops in the southern portion of the island. And the U.S. sees Cyprus as critical for maintaining control of Mediterranean waters and securing the presence of the U.S. Navy's Sixth Fleet.

Singapore has perhaps the highest per capita income in the world. According to the Council on Foreign Relations:

Singapore is a global financial and economic hub that sits astride the meeting point of the strategically vital Malacca Strait and the South China Sea. Despite its small size, the island city-state of 6.2 million people is a heavyweight in regional and international affairs.

A close strategic partner of the United States in Southeast Asia, Singapore also maintains a close relationship with China.

Libya is described by the Encyclopedia Britannica. Note Gaddafi’s 42 year reign and his creation of a popular welfare state, believed by many to be a challenge to the US-based idea of how developing countries should be managed.

Libya’s per capita income is among the highest in Africa. Oil revenues remain Libya’s main source of income. At the beginning of the 21st century, oil and natural gas together accounted for almost three-fourths of the national income and nearly all of the country’s export earnings, although they employed less than one-tenth of the labour force. Under Muammar al-Qaddafi (1969–2011), the government exerted strong control over the economy; the petroleum industry was nationalized in the 1970s, and state trade unions and industrial organizations ran most other industries and utilities.

The government long exerted strong control over the economy and attempted to develop agriculture and industry with wealth derived from its huge oil revenues. It also established a welfare state, which provides medical care and education at minimal cost to the people. Although Libya’s long-ruling leader Muammar al-Qaddafi espoused an idiosyncratic political ideology rooted in socioeconomic egalitarianism and direct democracy, Libya in practice remained an authoritarian state, with power concentrated among members of Qaddafi’s inner circle of relatives and security chiefs.

More from Wikipedia

Farrar has been chairing the Scientific Advisory Group of the WHO R&D Blueprint, a global strategy and preparedness plan that allows the rapid activation of research activities during epidemics.[46] [In this role he managed to scuttle all the promising drugs for COVID, as well as ensure that tests on hydroxychloroquine used high enough doses to kill off any potential benefit, as well as killing more subjects than died when given no treatment at all.—Nass] From 2018 to 2022, he served on the joint World Bank/WHO Global Preparedness Monitoring Board (GPMB), co-chaired by Elhadj As Sy and Gro Harlem Brundtland.[47][48] [Managing the development of the BioSecurity Agenda—Nass] In 2019, he co-chaired a WHO committee evaluating Ebola therapeutics.[49][50] [Which failed to impact the 60% death rate from Ebola in the 2019 epidemic—the highest death rate ever.—Nass]

Farrah has also served on UK governments committees. In May 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, he was appointed to the expert advisory group for the UK Government’s Vaccine Task Force.[51] He has also served as a member of the UK Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE)…

Views

On 19 February 2020, Farrar, along with 26 other scientists, published as a co-author of the Statement in support of the scientists, public health professionals, and medical professionals of China combatting COVID-19, which declared "We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin." [This was the DASZAK-ghost-authored Lancet letter—Nass]

Farrar wrote an opinion piece in the Guardian on Dec. 4, 2021 stating he feared not enough was being done to vaccinate people in poor nations against COVID-19. Farrar stated, “The longer this virus continues to spread in largely unvaccinated populations globally, the more likely it is that a variant that can overcome our vaccines and treatments will emerge…. [In other words, he was scaremongering.—Nass]

Jeremy is, according to the WHO, to begin his stint as Chief Scientist today. Do you think 007 (License to Overdose) will manage to save the New World Order and bring in Pandemic Preparedness worldwide as a means of attaining a one world government? Will his cunning, access to Wellcome’s funds and connections, it could happen. But perhaps he will be tasked to work in the background instead; after all, Poisoner in Chief is not a good look on a resume.

Critiquing Nature and the Lancet over their disinformation, but making huge material omissions while doing so. Who is Ian Birrell?

Below are excerpts from a very interesting Unherd article by Ian Birrell, who previously wrote about the lab leak hypothesis when it was very difficult to get anything published on it.  Birrell's reportage is good, as far as it goes.  But he lets Fauci, Farrar and Collins off the hook.  He ponders whether Chinese money influenced the "debt-ridden" Nature publishing company.  It surely could have. 

But one should also be asking, why is the (formerly?) world's top science magazine, Nature, the most important journal in the world in which to publish science, debt-ridden in the first place? 

And Birrell deftly avoided the more obvious conclusion that if Farrar, Fauci and Collins probably came up with the idea and definitely helped craft the Nature Medicine paper to produce faulty scientific arguments against a lab leak, wouldn't they have been the ones to place it in Nature Medicine, not China? 

Birrell did something else strange.  He notes that Farrar directed him to the Nature Medicine paper as the scientific basis for the natural origin claim.  But he fails to mention that the Fauci emails now show that Farrar was involved in crafting that paper, and involved his employee Josie Golding, who also signed the Daszac-written March 7 Lancet Correspondence, in its crafting.  Though not a coauthor, she was quoted in the press release the Scripps Institute issued about the paper. From the Fauci emails, we now know that Kristian Andersen, the first author, emailed Fauci, Farrar and Collins to thank them for their "advice and leadership" on the paper.

Thus this otherwise interesting article is a limited hangout.  While criticizing Nature Medicine and the Lancet, and attempting to grab the high road, Ian Birrell reveals himself to be a purveyor of slanted news.

There are two other interesting things about Ian Birrell.  He produced one of the earliest mainstream articles on the lab hypothesis with Alina Chan, back in February. In hindsight, were they being set up then as trusted sources if the lab hypothesis gained prominence?

But who is Ian Birrell?  His earlier claim to fame was as a speechwriter for David Cameron.  Everyone knows what that means.  He was a professional crafter of lying narratives. This Unherd article is designed to blame China and misdirect away from the role of the US and UK's top science funders:  Fauci, Jeremy Farrar and Francis Collins.

There is another issue no one but me has mentioned yet.  Scientific misconduct is a crime in the US. Here is the DHHS policy on research misconduct.  Tony Fauci and Francis Collins may arguably be guilty of this crime. And others.

Below are some excerpts from Ian Birrell's article:

https://unherd.com/2021/06/beijings-useful-idiots/

... Nature Medicine, its sister publication, was also home for the second key commentary that set the tone in the scientific community after Daszak’s outing in The Lancet. “The proximal origin of Sars-CoV-2″ bluntly concluded that “we do not believe that any type of laboratory-based scenario is plausible”. Critics pointed out it was questionable to claim there was any “evidence” proving that Sars-CoV-2 is not a purposefully manipulated virus. Others noted that the statement mentions the mysterious furin cleavage site — which Nikolai Petrovksy drew attention to as allowing the spike protein to bind effectively to cells in human tissues yet which is not found in the most closely-related coronaviruses — but downplays its potential significance. The statement suggests “it is likely that Sars-CoV-2-like viruses with partial or full polybasic cleavage sites will be discovered in other species”. This has not happened so far.

This document — whose five signatories include one expert who was handed China’s top award for foreign scientists after nearly 20 years work there, and another who is a “guest professor” for the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention — has been accessed 5.4 million times and cited almost 1,500 times in other papers. It is so influential that when I emailed Jeremy Farrar, director of the Wellcome Trust and one of The Lancet signatories, to see if his stance remained the same, he pointed me to this paper that he called “the most important research on the genomic epidemiology of the origins of this virus”.

The lead author was Kristian Andersen, an immunologist at Scripps Research Institute in California who has been a very active voice on social media condemning the lab leak theory and confronting its proponents. Yet the recent release of emails to Anthony Fauci exposed that Andersen had previously admitted to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director that the virus had unusual features that “(potentially) look engineered” and which are “inconsistent with expectations from evolutionary theory”. He claimed last week the discussion was “clear example of the scientific process” but as another top scientist said to me: “What a smoking gun!”. Now Anderson’s twitter account has suddenly disappeared...

[According to Rutgers professor Richard Ebright,] “Nature and The Lancet played important roles in enabling, encouraging, and enforcing the false narrative that science evidence indicates Sars-CoV-2 had a natural-spillover origin points and the false narrative that this was the scientific consensus”.

Or as another well-placed observer put it: “The game seems to be for Nature and The Lancet to rush non-peer revised correspondences to set the tone and then delay critical papers and responses.”

But why would they do this? This is where things become even murkier. Allegations swirl that it was not down to editorial misjudgement, but something more sinister: a desire to appease China for commercial reasons...

UPDATE June 13:  Ian Birrell writes about Jeremy Farrar for the Daily Mail.  While the article does not explore anything about the reasons Farrar joined and is central to the coverup of lab origin, as far as I can tell, Birrell himself is not creating a false narrative in this piece. A limited hangout, probably, but Birrell is probably trying to rehabilitate himself with some unsalted writing.

Don't you love it when 2 of the co-conspirators I have named separately, now link themselves together by coauthoring in Foreign Affairs

https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/united-states/2021-06-08/coronavirus-strategy-forever-virus

The Forever Virus

Foreign Affairs is the establishment's journal.  Today it is being used for the purpose of cementing in place one false narrative after the other about Covid, while making the (seemingly humanitarian) case for spending lots more money for the US and world response to Covid. And they make sure to push the threat of future pandemics.  

Why did I read this article?  Because two of the people in my cast of Covid conspirators (see 9 blog posts written starting June 3) are co-authors.  What are their themes?

First, Americans should not relax about Covid. (Ignore that man behind the curtain at the NYT telling us that there are fewer new US cases and deaths than at any time since March of 2020.)  Covid will never leave the planet, so get used to it (although SARS-1 disappeared, which they don't mention).  Worry about variants.  Herd immunity is a myth. 

Second, we need to strengthen all the things that in fact turned out to be useless measures during the pandemic, and keep doing them but on an even larger scale.

Third, zero Covid is a myth, because animal reservoirs exist, so even:

if every human on the planet were vaccinated tomorrow, SARS-CoV-2 would still live on in multiple animal species, including monkeys, cats, and deer.

Yet, they also say the US should try to achieve zero Covid. (Internal consistency is not this article's strong point.)

Fourth, even though in one part of the article (see below) the authors deny meaningful immunity in the recovered, an another part they acknowledge that prior infection does give immunity, negating the need for vaccination:

As of May, barely half of the country was fully immunized. Even allowing for those with natural immunity from prior infection, that leaves about 125 million Americans susceptible to COVID-19.

Fifth, wouldn't you know it, they want newer and more vaccines.

Everyone should be grateful for the remarkable vaccines that won the race to be first. But the United States and other wealthy countries must nonetheless invest in the next generation of COVID-19 vaccines.  

Who are these authors?  Ian Lipkin, MD, is a coauthor of the Nature Medicine Correspondence that we now know Fauci, Farrar and Collins ushered into being, to use "science" to  enforce the natural origins theory.  Except that paper was an illogical load of hogwash.  I said the paper was so bad that there must have been a hidden hand behind its creation when interviewed in the movie Pandemic 2:  Indoctornation.  Lipkin was happy to sign on to the illogical Nature Medicine article, and seems equally happy to sign on to this article, despite its internal contradictions.

Rick Bright, the former head of BARDA, who conspired with the FDA to prevent the use of hydroxychloroquine against Covid in the US, is another author.  He had the temerity to brag about it, after Trump fired him.  He probably knew Jeremy Farrar (a co-conspirator on the Nature Medicine article with Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins) from Vietnam, where both had previously worked. Then Farrar and Bright went home and got jobs doling out huge pots of money. Bright had a $1.5 billion dollar budget as head of BARDA (aka Biodefense's NIAID), and Jeremy Farrar, MD, as head of the Wellcome Trust, probably doled out a similar amount yearly.  And now, Bright works as a Senior VP at the Rockefeller Foundation, doling out yet more pots of money.

Both Jeremy Farrar and Rick Bright played key roles in suppressing the chloroquine drugs for use against Covid.  And now Bright has coauthored this with Ian Lipkin, one of the people Fauci, Farrar and Collins brought in to coauthor the bogus article in Nature Medicine to "prove" the natural origin of SARS-CoV-2. And this article suppresses drug treatments by claiming they were shown to be ineffective.

Larry Brilliant, MD is another author of this article.  He too is a guy who had jobs giving out lots of money.  He was the founding director of Google.org, Google's charitable foundation, then President of the Skoll Foundation.  He has led an interesting life, going from doctor to spiritual seeker in India with Baba Ram Das to high tech entrepreneur and philanthropist.

Why are they writing this?

1.  To plant the narrative that Covid is not going away.  Continue being fearful.

2.  To continue to suppress the use of hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, and other "repurposed" drugs that are in fact highly effective against Covid.

3.  To push the myth that immunity after infection is NOT reliable:

The pandemic is in many ways a story of magical thinking...  governments imagined... that existing drugs could be repurposed to mitigate the disease, and that natural infection would result in durable immunity—all assumptions that proved wrong.

 4.  To legitimize and get more money for the public health establishment:

The international system for responding to pandemics must also be repaired. As the current crisis has laid bare, that system is dangerously underfunded, slow, and vulnerable to political interference. In a time of rising nationalism, countries need to find a way to work together to reform the global public health institutions that will be responsible for waging this long fight against COVID-19. These bodies must be protected and empowered so that they can work faster than they have.

5. To repeat the Daszak/Fauci meme that humans need to change the way we live, while their argument falls apart when you admit the virus came from a lab and not bat soup: 

Sustaining our way of life thus requires deep changes in the way we interact with the natural world 

Why do I keep talking about the narratives spun by the co-conspirators I name?  Because they have all been reading off the same script.  I think the plan is to use these narratives to drive big changes in our way of life.  They have done so successfully for the past 15 months.  Before we let these malefactors drive us over a cliff, their stories need to be carefully analyzed.
