On January 30, Tedros Adhanom, Director-General of the United Nations World Health Organization, declared a public health emergency of international concern (PHIEC) due to the spread of the novel coronavirus. When asked why WHO did not declare a pandemic, WHO spokesman Tariq Yazarevich said: “There is no official category (for a pandemic) … WHO does not use the old system of 6 phases, which varied from phase 1 (there are no reports that influenza is transmitted from animals to human) to phase 6 (pandemic), which may be familiar to some from H1N1 in 2009.”
Then, on March 11, Tedros Adhanom announced for the first time that WHO was calling the new coronavirus disease, already renamed COVID-19, a "global pandemic." At that time, the WHO said that there were more than 118,000 cases of COVID-19 in 114 countries, with 4,291 fatalities.
The 2009 WHO fake pandemic
After the fiasco and scandal that happened with WHO in 2009, due to the announcement of a global pandemic "swine flu" or H1N1, as it was called, WHO decided to abandon the use of the term "pandemic". Reason is an indicator of corruption inherent in WHO.
Just weeks before the first reports in 2009 that a young Mexican child had contracted the new H1N1 "swine flu" virus in Veracruz, WHO quietly changed the traditional definition of a pandemic. There was no longer a need for the disease to be widespread in many countries and be extremely fatal or severe. It should just be widespread, like seasonal flu in case WHO “experts” want to declare a pandemic. H1N1 symptoms were the same as for a severe cold.
When then WHO Director-General Dr Margaret Chen formally declared a Phase 6 global pandemic emergency, it triggered emergency government programs that included billions of dollars in government procurement for future H1N1 influenza vaccines. At the end of the 2009 flu season, deaths from H1N1 were found to be negligible compared to normal seasonal flu. Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, a German physician specializing in pulmonology, was then President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. In 2009, he called for an investigation of alleged conflicts of interest surrounding the EU's response to the swine flu pandemic. The Dutch parliament also found that Professor Albert Osterhaus of Erasmus University in Rotterdam, a key WHO adviser on influenza,personally benefited from billions of euros in funding for the H1N1 vaccine.
Many other WHO expert scientists who advised Dr. Chen to declare a pandemic received money directly or indirectly from leading pharmaceutical companies, including GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis and other major vaccine manufacturers. The WHO swine flu pandemic declaration was a forgery. In 2009-10. the most harmless flu in the history of medical observations happened. And the pharmaceutical giants have made billions from it.
Promotional video:
It was after the 2009 pandemic scandal that WHO stopped using the 6-phase pandemic declaration and moved to the more confusing definition of “Public health emergency of international concern. But now Tedros and WHO wanted to reintroduce the term "pandemic", although they admitted that they were still in the process of developing a new definition for the term. A "pandemic" is more fearful than a "public health emergency of international concern."
Conflicts of interest still persist
Despite major conflicts of interest scandals in 2009-10 over pharmaceutical companies 'ties with WHO, WHO, under Tedros' leadership, has done little to eliminate conflicts of interest and corruption.
The current WHO Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) is replete with members who receive significant funding from either the major vaccine manufacturers, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BGMF), or the Wellcome Trust. In the latest WHO publication on 15 SAGE scientists, at least eight have this conflict. In nearly each of the eight cases, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Merck & Co. (MSD), Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI), Vaccine Alliance (funded by Gates), Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Global Scientific Advisory Committee on Health, Pfizer, Novovax, GSK, Novartis, Gilead and other leading vaccine manufacturers. For an independent and scientifically objective WHO, this is too much.
WHO and Gates
The fact that many WHO SAGE members have financial ties to the Gates Foundation is significant, but not surprising. Today, WHO is funded mainly not by the governments of UN member countries, but by so-called "public-private partnerships" dominated by private vaccine companies and a group of organizations sponsored by Bill Gates.
In the latest available WHO financial report, dated 31 December 2017, just over half of the total WHO Foundation budget of over US $ 2 billion came from private donors and external agencies such as the World Bank or the EU. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, together with the Gates-funded GAVI Vaccine Alliance and the Gates-initiated Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFSTM), are WHO's largest private and nongovernmental sponsors. These three organizations have provided more than US $ 474 million to WHO. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation alone has allocated $ 324,654,317 to WHO. By comparison, the US government has allocated $ 401 million to WHO.
Among other private sponsors, we find the world's leading vaccine and drug manufacturers, including Gilead Science (currently insisting that its drug be used to treat COVID-19), GlaxoSmithKline, Hoffmann-LaRoche, Sanofi Pasteur, Merck Sharp and Dohme Chibret and Bayer AG. In 2017, drug manufacturers donated tens of millions of dollars to WHO. This private support from the vaccine industry for the WHO program, from the Gates Foundation and major pharmaceutical companies, is more than just a conflict of interest. This is the de facto takeover of the UN unit responsible for coordinating the worldwide response to epidemics and diseases. In addition, the Gates Foundation invests its tax-free dollars in the same vaccine manufacturers as Merck, Novartis, Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline.
Against this backdrop, it is not surprising that Ethiopian politician Tedros Adhanom became head of WHO in 2017. Tedros is the first director of WHO not to be a doctor, although he insists that his name be pronounced with the prefix "doctor". He received his Ph. D. in public health for "researching the impact of dams on malaria transmission in the Ethiopian Tigray region." Tedros, who was also Ethiopia's foreign minister until 2016, met Bill Gates as Ethiopia's minister of health and became chairman of the board of the Gates-related Global Fund against HIV, AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
Under Tedros, WHO's notorious corruption and conflicts of interest continued and even escalated. According to a recent report by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, in 2018 and 2019 under Tedros, the WHO Health Emergencies Program, the unit responsible for the global response to COVID-19, was rated the highest risk rating. The report also stated that there was "a surge in allegations of internal corruption throughout the organization, with the discovery of many schemes aimed at extorting large sums of money from an international organization." All of this is not very encouraging.
In early March, the University of Oxford stopped using WHO's COVID-19 data due to recurring errors and inconsistencies, which WHO refused to correct. The WHO coronavirus test reports have been cited multiple times by various countries, including Finland, for deficiencies, false positives and other defects.

Gates' vaccine against coronavirus
Gates Foundation money supports vaccine development on all fronts. Pennsylvania-based Inovio Pharmaceuticals has received $ 9 million from CEPI, a Gates-backed Coalition for Innovation in Epidemic Preparedness, to develop the INO-4800 vaccine, which is scheduled to be tested in humans in April, which is a suspiciously fast timeline. In addition, the Gates Foundation has just committed $ 5 million to the company to develop a patented smart device for intradermal administration of a new vaccine.
In addition, funds from the Gates Foundation through CEPI are funding the development of a radical new vaccination method known as messenger RNA or mRNA.
They co-finance biotechnology company Moderna Inc. (Cambridge, Massachusetts) to develop a vaccine against the new coronavirus in Wuhan. Another Moderna partner is the US National Institute for the Study of Allergic and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The head of the NIAID is Dr. Anthony Fauci of the Trump Administration's Virus Emergency Response Center. Moderna's Fauci-Gates coronavirus vaccine, mRNA-1273, was developed over a period of weeks, not years, and shipped directly to Fauci's NIH on February 24 for human trials, not mice. Moderna's Chief Medical Officer Tal Zacks stated: “I don't thinkthat testing in an animal model is a critical way to bring this to clinical trials."
Another notable acknowledgment of Moderna is the disclaimer on its own website "Special note on the outlook: … Risks, uncertainties and other factors include, among others: … the fact that there has never been a commercial product using mRNA technology approved for use." … In other words, its safety for human health has not been proven at all.
Another biotech company using untested mRNA technology to develop a vaccine against COVID-19 is the German company CureVac. Since 2015, CureVac has been receiving money from the Gates Foundation to develop its own mRNA technology. In January, Gates-backed CEPI pledged more than $ 8 million to develop an mRNA vaccine against the novel coronavirus.
Add to that the fact that the Gates Foundation and related organizations such as CEPI are the largest sponsors of WHO, and that its current director, Tedros Adhanom, has many ties to the Global Fund to Fight HIV, AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and we we will see that there are practically no aspects of the current coronavirus pandemic where traces of the ubiquitous Gates would not be found. Whether this is a cause for concern or a boon for humanity, time will tell.
