BEYOND FEAR: WHY MANUFACTURED PANDEMICS DO NOT DESERVE OUR PANIC

Throughout history, real or fabricated health crises have provided governments with a convenient pretext to expand control under the guise of “public welfare.” Weaponization of fear and uncertainty creates ideal conditions for authorities to impose sweeping restrictions on freedoms and persuade the public to “trust the experts.” Alongside the erosion of individual rights, these events also create lucrative op­portunities for powerful industries, including pharmaceutical companies and tech giants, as well as less visible sectors. Times of crisis frequently facilitate consolidated ownership of valuable assets like real estate and businesses.

The declaration of the “Covid-19 pandemic” provides the most recent illustration of govern­ment’s skillful manipulation of fear to tighten its authority. Relentless propaganda and fear became the drivers of widespread social and medical compliance, enabling the shuttering of businesses, schools and places of worship, as well as the silencing of opposing voices. When experimental gene therapies (marketed as “vaccines”) and other drugs were rushed into “emergency use,” fear prompted many people to accept them, overtaking reason and informed consent. Believing submission to be the safest option, people surrendered their rights and suf­fered the consequences. Meanwhile, as billions complied with the draconian orders, public and private actors quietly exploited the chaos, erod­ing freedoms and livelihoods. In 2020 alone, workers lost almost four trillion dollars, and bil­lionaires saw their wealth increase by the same amount—almost four trillion dollars.¹

THE LONGTIME FEARMONGER-IN-CHIEF

Few public figures have wielded fear as effectively as did Dr. Anthony Fauci during his more than fifty-year career (1968–2022) at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Dis­eases (NIAID), one of the institutes that make up the National Institutes of Health (NIH). After his appointment as NIAID director in 1984, Fauci became one of the most powerful men in public health, overseeing billions of taxpayer dollars allocated to global research and vaccine development.² In 2022, Fauci even became the highest-paid federal employee, earning a salary of almost five hundred thousand dollars.³ His de­cades as a high-level front man—collaborating with “pharmaceutical companies, military and intelligence planners, and international health agencies” to weaponize “epidemics,” “pandem­ics” and vaccines—helped develop and con­solidate “a new brand of corporate imperialism rooted in the ideology of biosecurity” (p. 283).⁴

AIDS helped Fauci refine the playbook that public health officials have put to repeated use ever since, ginning up fear to reinforce a health care model that prioritizes profits and poisoning over patient care. As America’s AIDS “czar,” Fauci actively fueled public panic, for example, in a 1983 JAMA article that falsely claimed the new disease syndrome could spread through ca­sual contact.⁵ This assertion intensified people’s fears while also securing increased funding for NIAID. Fauci admitted a year later that his warning was unsubstantiated,⁶ but by then, the damage had been done.

During the early AIDS years, Fauci’s promotion of the toxic and failed cancer drug azidothymidine (AZT) as the primary treatment (p. 315),⁷ and his talk of a vaccine that never materialized, suppressed safer and more afford­able treatments (pp. 120, 146)⁸ while generating profits not just for pharmaceutical companies but his agency.⁹ By 1987, when over a million Americans supposedly were “HIV-infected,” Congress was starting to ask why the govern­ment’s vast biomedical research network could not develop better drugs with the millions of dollars allocated (p. 156).⁴

Many patients—desperate to avoid AZT’s severe and debilitating side effects—turned to underground “buyers’ clubs” to seek alternative treatments.¹⁰ And who could blame them? At the time, AZT cost an exorbitant ten thousand dollars annually, putting a heavy financial strain on both patients and taxpayers. Suspected of being carcinogenic,¹¹ the drug’s side effects included anemia, dangerously low white blood cell counts and constant nausea and vomiting. Despite these risks and a standard dosage that often proved fatal, AZT remained the primary “HIV” treatment (pp. 142, 153).¹² When Fauci was pressured to test some of the therapies offered by the buyers’ clubs, he manipulated the clinical trials to ensure the drugs’ failure in favor of the highly toxic AZT (pp. 158-159).⁴ One notorious tactic was to quickly unblind so-called “double-blind, placebo-controlled” studies by giving the control group the drug.¹¹ Soon, Fauci was recommending AZT not only for individuals with so-called “full-blown AIDS” but also for asymptomatic individuals, including pregnant women and children, who had “positive” polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test results for “HIV” (p. 163).⁴

As many scientists, including Kary Mullis (the inventor of PCR), pointed out at the time—and as the public painfully relearned dur­ing Covid—it is a gross abuse of the PCR methodology to use it as a diagnostic test.¹³ The PCR procedure, a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT), detects genetic material breakdown (potentially from toxins, EMF exposure, malnutrition or chronic stress), not active “viruses” in the body (pp. 46-47).¹⁴ Moreover, though “HIV” launched a multibillion-dollar industry, not only was the putative virus never properly isolated, but many scientists disputed it as the cause of “AIDS” to begin with. In fact, pointing out that the “virus-AIDS hypothesis” was “burdened with numerous paradoxes,” famous molecular biologist Peter Duesberg persuasively argued in 2003 (with coauthors Claus Koehnlein and David Rasnick) that AIDS was actually “a collection of chemical epidemics, caused by recreational drugs, anti-HIV drugs, and malnutrition.”¹⁵ It logically followed, according to the three au­thors, that the conditions called “AIDS” were not contagious and could not be treated with vaccines or antiviral drugs.¹⁵

Fauci disregarded any exploration of non- HIV causes of “AIDS,” instead continuing to direct federal grants toward the single-pathogen and single-disease theories as well as testing of new drugs in vulnerable populations. Mean­while, the definition of “AIDS” continuously expanded until it included around thirty condi­tions,¹⁶ many of which did not even require a “positive” HIV test (p. 103).¹² This broadening of the diagnostic criteria was crucial to secure funding for studies in Africa, where a different agglomeration of conditions was used to de­fine “AIDS” (p. 187).⁴ By June 2003, NIH and NIAID were funding almost eleven thousand human clinical trials across ninety countries,¹⁷ in which severe adverse events and deaths rou­tinely went unreported.¹⁸

THE PLAYBOOK STRIKES AGAIN

During the “Covid-19 pandemic,” Fauci and the public health establishment recycled the AIDS playbook, vilifying affordable treatments while endorsing the harmful yet highly profit­able drug remdesivir. A study published in 2019, which investigated remdesivir in the context of an African “Ebola outbreak,” had already shown that the drug led to severe adverse effects, including multiple organ failure and acute kidney damage, resulting in fatal outcomes for 54 percent of participants.¹⁹ Nevertheless, NIAID and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) invested seventy-nine million dollars in developing remdesivir for Gilead Sciences, a company in which the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation held a significant stake.^20,21

Fauci’s pressure on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to make remdesivir the standard treatment for Covid-19²² not only ignored the drug’s risks and lack of proven benefits²³ but also helped pave the way for the vaccine rollout. By presenting high-cost remdesivir as the only approved treatment option—against even the World Health Organization’s (WHO’s) recommendation²⁴—and refusing to recognize other possible treatments, the FDA could ensure that the vaccines would meet the criteria for emergency use authorization (EUA).²⁵ As a bonus, when Fauci steered six billion-plus dollars to Moderna’s Covid injections, both the NIH and CDC as well as Fauci personally reaped profits as patent-holders.²⁶

In 2024, a global study covering almost three billion people presented a conclusion that contrasts starkly with the fear narrative promoted by major health agencies, finding no significant increase in overall death rates attributable to Covid-19 disease.²⁷ In contrast, far from being life-saving measures, available evidence suggests that both remdesivir²⁸ and the Covid-19 mRNA injections²⁹ have directly contributed to countless deaths worldwide.³⁰ In an analysis of published autopsy studies that in­cluded Covid vaccination “as an antecedent exposure,” the researchers’ assessment was that 74 percent of the deaths were either directly caused by or strongly linked to the shots, with the primary bodily systems affected including the cardiovascular, circulatory and respiratory systems.³¹ The stark evidence of a causal link presented in the autopsy study prompted two successive journals, Preprints with The Lancet and Forensic Science International, to withdraw it from the Internet.³²

Data from Health New Zealand also point to major cardiovascular impacts, revealing a nearly fivefold increase in cardiac-related emergency room visits among individuals under forty following Covid “vaccina­tion.”³³ In a 2024 preprint, British researchers assessed the shots’ safety in almost two million children and adolescents, finding that myocarditis and pericarditis appeared “only in the vacci­nated groups.”³⁴

As evidence of harm continues to mount, some officials in other countries are calling for either suspending the mRNA injections (Austra­lia)³⁵ or banning them (Slovakia).³⁶ In the U.S., meanwhile, vaccine distribution continues into its fourth year, with FDA recklessly approving more Pfizer and Moderna mRNA boosters in August 2024—without even the pretense of human trials or any evidence of reduced hos­pitalizations or deaths.³⁷ Although the White House declared an end to the Covid-19 Public Health Emergency on May 11, 2023,³⁸ liability protections under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act contin­ue.³⁹ These protections shield manufacturers and providers from legal liability for all pandemic countermeasures, including both remdesivir⁴⁰ and the mRNA shots, regardless of the harm or level of negligence involved. Similar legal shields have protected manufacturers from liability for all vaccines on the childhood im­munization schedule since 1986.⁴¹

OTHER PLAYBOOK APPLICATIONS

AIDS and Covid-19 represent two of the most prominent illustrations of a troubling pat­tern of unchecked public health authoritarianism and coercion. However, there are many more examples, even dating back to Fauci’s earliest years at NIAID, including events surrounding declarations of “swine flu” (1976 and 2009), “severe acute respiratory syndrome” or SARS (2003), “H5N1 bird flu” (2005 and 2020–2024), Middle East respiratory syndrome or MERS (2012) and Zika (2016).

In 1976, public health officials used the death of a Fort Dix soldier to ignite a suspected “swine flu pandemic.” Helped along by government spending to the tune of over one hundred million dollars, Merck rapidly developed a vaccine that benefited from government liability protections that were, at the time, unprecedented. Despite the absence of any further fatalities, officials used a comparison with the catastrophic 1918 “Spanish flu” to heighten public fears and spur acceptance of Merck’s vaccine by forty-five million Americans (over a fifth of the population).⁴² By 1985, severe vaccine side effects had prompted thousands of lawsuits, cost the government eighty-three million dollars in settlements⁴³ and provoked widespread public skepticism regarding governmental health interven­tions (pp. 355-358).⁴

In 2003,⁴⁴ public health officials introduced a new respiratory label—“SARS”—and once again promoted widespread PCR testing for diagnostic purposes. As could be expected, the misused PCR procedure produced elevated “case” counts that helped escalate public fears. In the end, fewer than eight hundred deaths worldwide were attributed to SARS, but Fauci advocated for aggressive vaccine development nonetheless,⁴⁵ attracting millions in funding. This episode reinforced the pattern of using health crises to drive profits for pharmaceutical interventions over evidence-based or proportionate responses.

In 2005, Fauci raised a new alarm, warning that an “H5N1” strain of avian influenza (“bird flu”) had surfaced that might “mutate” and spread globally.⁴⁶ Figures like British medical researcher Jeremy Farrar (currently chief scientist at WHO and previously director of the Wellcome Trust and Oxford University professor of tropical medicine) helped lay the ground­work; in 2004, while stationed in Vietnam, Farrar promoted the ridiculous theory of H5N1’s “reemergence” in humans due to a young girl reportedly contracting the “virus” after exhuming a pet duck.⁴⁷ British epidemiolo­gist Neil Ferguson (nicknamed by some “The Master of Disaster”⁴⁸) also stoked fears, predicting up to one hundred fifty million “bird flu” deaths. That prediction was part of a career pattern for Ferguson, who specialized in dramatic fatality forecasts, including his now-infamous prediction of two-million-plus Covid-19 deaths in the U.S. alone.⁴⁹

Though the nations of the world ended up attributing just two hun­dred eighty-two deaths to bird flu from 2003 to 2009,⁵⁰ governments allocated billions to preparedness measures. Fauci’s estimates of five to seven million potential fatalities and calls for emergency funding led to over seven billion dol­lars in congressional support and a mandate to manufacture millions of vaccines.⁵¹ The projec­tions also sparked President Bush’s “Biodefense and Pandemic Vaccine and Drug Development Act of 2005,” which secured further liability protections for vaccine makers (pp. 362-363).⁴ Ironically, and somewhat in contradiction to his own dire predictions about viral threats, Fauci and colleagues published a paper in 2008 argu­ing that most “Spanish flu” deaths were due to generally manageable bacterial infections rather than an influenza virus.⁵²

In 2009, Fauci and other players like the WHO, the Wellcome Trust and the Gates Foun­dation, touted the dangers of a new “swine flu pandemic” (H1N1). At the same time, WHO redefined “pandemic” to omit considerations of severity; in fact, as writer Michael Fumento pointed out in 2010, “You could now have a pandemic with zero deaths.”⁵³ Prior “sleeping contracts”⁵⁴ worth eighteen billion dollars, pressured into place by these organizations, required multiple countries to purchase vast quantities of fast-tracked H1N1 vaccines as soon as the pandemic was declared.^55,56 When the untested vaccines started producing severe adverse effects like narcolepsy⁵⁵ and miscar­riage, especially among women who received both seasonal and H1N1 flu vaccines,⁵⁷ Glaxo­SmithKline withdrew its Pandemrix vaccine.

The next “pandemic threat” to hit, in 2012, was MERS, a virus supposedly transmitted from camels to humans. Framing the illness as a severe global risk, NIAID and Fauci once again swiftly developed PCR-based diagnostic protocols and garnered funding for vaccine development and experimental treatments.⁴⁴

In March 2016, Fauci promoted the belief that a “Zika virus” was responsible for increased cases of microcephaly (a severe birth defect) in Brazil. Critics noted that there were other plausible explanations for the surge in birth defects, including an experimental diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP) vaccine that had been administered to pregnant women in the region in 2015–2016, overuse of ultrasound on pregnant women and/or the region’s spiking use of toxic pesticides. True to form, Fauci secured close to two billion dollars in congressional funding to develop a still-elusive Zika vaccine,^58,59 including channeling over one hundred million dollars to the then-new biotech company Moderna Therapeutics to create an mRNA-based vaccine.⁶⁰

Zika also furnished an excuse for the Gates Foundation to invest eighteen million dollars (in collaboration with the Wellcome Trust) in Oxitec,⁶¹ a U.S.-owned company based in the UK; the project’s aim was to release genetically modified mosquitoes in Brazil to reduce local mos­quito populations accused of spreading Zika.⁶² This followed on a 2008 Gates-funded initiative in Japan, in which researchers worked to design mosquitoes capable of serving as “flying syringes” for malaria vaccines— a method envisaged for willing and unwilling recipients alike.⁶³

WHAT IS THE REAL AGENDA?

In The Real Anthony Fauci, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. offers a powerful and effective dissection of Fauci’s longstanding pattern of exaggerating pandemics, manipulating scientific data and misrepresenting the safety and efficacy of various treatments. Given this track record, it is difficult to understand why he was able to remain such a trusted figure for so long. Under Fauci’s tenure, childhood rates of allergic, autoimmune⁶⁴ and chronic⁶⁵ illnesses soared—with chronic conditions affecting 12.8 percent⁶⁶ of children as of 1994, 54 percent⁶⁷ by 2007 and probably even more today. Rather than address these escalating health crises, Fauci— solidly aligned with the pharmaceutical, chemical and food industries— promoted the series of exaggerated pandemics and fear-based narratives just described. This is a telling sign that there is a covert public health agenda that is not genuinely concerned with improving the public’s health.

Recent events have underscored this point. For example, a BMJ study published in 2021 documented a major decline in U.S. life expec­tancy of almost two years between 2018 and 2020, outstripping smaller decreases in other high-income countries.⁶⁸ Fauci’s Covid-19 lockdown recommendations also inflicted severe economic damage, leav­ing fifty-eight million Americans jobless. The effects of lockdowns were even harsher globally, resulting in an estimated ten thousand children dying each month from hunger and five hundred fifty thousand children per month experienc­ing wasting and stunting from malnutrition.⁶⁹ Meanwhile, powerful elites capitalized on the restrictions, advancing their rollout of 5G net­works, biometric facial recognition and other digital surveillance technologies.⁷⁰

Although Fauci has now retired, the cycle of pandemic warnings and fear-mongering has not ended, as evidenced by the recent manufac­tured bird flu hysteria. One of the individuals hyping “avian flu” and the threat of “muta­tions” and zoonosis (species-jumping)—Rick Bright, former director of the Biomedical Ad­vanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA)—has not been shy about pointing to “opportunities for biotech companies to help fill voids in surveillance, point-of-care diagnostics, vaccines and therapeutics.”⁷¹ For his part, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has been beating the “biosecurity” drum, urging dairy cow farmers to “enhance their biosecurity measures. . . to limit the spread of this disease [H5N1]” in their herds.⁷² Nor have scientists and officials hesitated to once again demonize raw milk, ludicrously claiming that cows can transmit H5N1 via their milk and giving the FDA ammunition to renew its long-standing grudge against raw milk consumption.⁷³

Technocrats and globalists have long un­derstood that manipulating access to food is one of the most powerful tools of control. Fake pandemics like the bird flu are being used as a cover story to mount devastating attacks on the food supply, undermining the foundation of our health and sovereignty. This is not just about a single crisis; it is a calculated strategy to centralize power by controlling food—a basic necessity. In a Wise Traditions Podcast episode, independent researcher Jacob Diaz told how one Iowa farm with a single “positive” case of bird flu saw four million chickens slaughtered— burned alive—as a result.⁷⁴ According to Diaz, “In the United States since 2022, almost one hundred million chickens have been murdered because of a nearby case of bird flu.”

Going for broke, the WHO and the broader “pandemic-industrial complex” also resurrected the “monkeypox” threat in 2024, presenting it as a leading contender for “Disease X”—a hypo­thetical “pathogen with pandemic potential.”⁷⁵ Interestingly, WHO’s VigiAccess database,⁷⁶ which lists known side effects of drugs and vaccines, shows “monkeypox” as a potential side effect of Pfizer’s Covid-19 shot.⁷⁷ When the media and public health authorities tried to use monkeypox (rebranded as “mpox”) as the focus of pandemic sensationalism in 2022, that campaign gradually “fizzled out.”⁷⁵ However, though only eighty “mpox” deaths were reported by January 2023, eighty thousand Americans were persuaded to take Bavarian Nordic’s Jynneos (MVA-BN) smallpox/mpox vaccine, linked in adult trials to serious cardiac risks, including myocarditis.⁷⁸ In 2023, NIAID began sponsoring clinical trials of Jynneos in U.S. adolescents,⁷⁹ with researchers resorting to the usual tricks (such as no unvaccinated control group, no cardiac monitoring) to keep adverse effects from coming to light. Non-placebo-controlled trials of the Bavarian Nordic vaccine are also underway in young children (ages two to eleven) in Africa, funded in part by the Gates Foundation.⁷⁸

Strengthening Gates’ pervasive influence over global health and vaccination policies is Kenya’s recent decision to grant diplomatic immunity to the Gates Foundation and its employees. The move shields the foundation from legal action and exempts employees from taxation, increasing its power to push agendas both in Kenya and across Africa.⁸⁰ The Gates Foundation has targeted vulnerable popula­tions for years with harmful vaccine campaigns (including various polio initiatives and ex­perimental HPV trials in India that prompted #ArrestBillGates to trend on social media in 2021⁸¹), but its activities extend beyond vaccines to other controversial programs such as digital IDs and GMO-dependent, corporate-industrial agriculture; the agricultural programs have had severe impacts on local food sovereignty and farming practices. The granting of diplomatic immunity suggests that the foundation is now seeking ways to intensify its interventions without accountability, setting a dangerous precedent for corporate influence in public health across the Global South.⁸⁰

GLOBALIZING PUBLIC HEALTH

The ongoing negotiations surrounding the WHO’s proposed “pan­demic agreement” raise equally significant concerns about national sovereignty and public health governance. On September 19, 2024,⁸² the WHO officially informed one hundred ninety-four state parties of the adoption on June 1 of amendments to the International Health Regula­tions (IHR).⁸³ The stated goal is to enhance global preparedness for future pandemics, “including via a One Health approach,”⁸⁴ but critics argue that it would give the WHO unprecedented free rein to control national governments’ policies and actions, and in the bargain infringe on indi­viduals’ rights and freedoms. Reasons to reject the pandemic agreement include the following⁸⁵:

• RESOURCE MISALLOCATION: Establishing a financing mechanism to funnel billions into pandemic preparedness would primarily benefit the pharmaceutical industry rather than priori­tizing the health and autonomy of individuals or the identification of root causes of disease.
• NO ACCOUNTABILITY: The WHO’s failure to address the harmful impacts of past decisions regarding lockdowns and vac­cine mandates ensures that history will likely repeat itself. The agreement could allow unelected bureaucrats to dictate health policies without public input.
• A MISSING VIRUS: The WHO has never provided verifiable evidence that the pathogen identified as SARS-CoV-2 physi­cally exists. Despite claims of global spread, such a virus has never been isolated outside of computer-generated models and databases, calling into question the very premise of pandemic responses based on this and similar pathogens.
• VAGUE DEFINITIONS AND OVERREACH: Undefined terms like “pandemic,” “prevention” and “preparedness” are a recipe for potential misuse.

Notably, a WHO study published in November 2024 signaled the agency’s push for expanded global health initiatives and its zeal for vac­cine solutions, identifying seventeen “endemic” pathogens as “urgent” priorities for new vaccine development.⁸⁶ This effort aligns with the broader framework of the proposed pandemic agreement and—together with the provisions for increased surveillance, digital health passports and mandated treatments—again raises concerns about centralized health authority.

Given all of these concerns, it is crucial for citizens to remain vigilant and actively oppose the adoption of such measures. We must reject the 2024 IHR amendments before July 19, 2025 and advocate for policies that prioritize health, autonomy and transparency rather than corporate interests. RELEASE FEAR, REJECT CONTROL

Anthony Fauci’s retirement was welcome news to many, but the use of fear to erode our freedoms continues apace. If we wish to defend our rights, it is critical to understand that Fauci was merely the public face for forces that have no plans to stop using pandemics to control narratives, increase surveillance and expand their authority. From AIDS on, these manufac­tured crises are designed to support an agenda of societal “resets” that bolster governmental structures antithetical to financial, food and health freedom.

Are we willing to accept a post-constitu­tional order and the unprecedented level of cen­tral control that is currently being engineered? In the UK, anyone owning backyard chickens now must register them with the government, setting a new standard for monitoring and regulation.⁸⁷ Meanwhile, in parts of Califor­nia, mask mandates have returned for health care workers and visitors in medical settings, with penalties including fines and potential jail time for those who don’t comply.⁸⁸ Rather than channeling resources into enforcing these regu­lations, wouldn’t it be more beneficial to focus on genuine health crises like diabetes, autism and obesity? Traditional healing practices like homeopathy offer a path toward self-directed healing, free from centralized mandates.

This is the time to release our fears and re­ject manipulation. Embracing ancestral wisdom by nourishing our bodies with nutrient-dense foods and protecting access to genuine health information are key steps in reclaiming self-reliance. Dr. Weston A. Price’s work reminds us of what is possible. The healthy, thriving communities he studied in remote regions retained their native diets and showed no trace of chronic or “infectious” diseases; Price knew that the “terrain”—our structural and nutritional resilience—shields us against disease (pp. 33-34).¹⁴

It is also important to learn from history. For example, the first modern “flu pandemic” coincided with the expansion of electrical infra­structure in the late 1880s, a connection that raises questions about the impact of environmental stressors on human health. Many other “pan­demics” have erupted alongside technological shifts; it may well be our bodies’ interactions with these changes that are creating the symptoms we misinterpret as “contagious” outbreaks (pp. 10-12).¹⁴

In this light, we should question whether the next inevitable “pan­demic” is truly a threat or simply a pretext serving those who benefit from fear-based control. Let us heed Pasteur’s alleged deathbed admission, “The germ is nothing; the terrain is everything,”⁸⁹ and reject compliance with mandates that do not align with genuine health. Now is the time to restore our connection to nature, traditional spiritual and health practices and our body’s own resilience as our best defense against illness.

SIDEBARS

“NOT A SHOWSTOPPER”

In April 2016, the WHO recommended Sanofi Pasteur’s Dengvaxia vaccine (more than twenty years and two billion dollars in the making) for children ages nine to sixteen, though evidence from large trials involving over thirty thousand children worldwide⁹⁰ showed that vaccinated children faced heightened risks of severe symptoms if they later developed dengue.⁹¹ The vaccine also appeared to increase the risk of “plasma leakage syndrome,” a deadly complication causing rapid shock, especially in children with no previous experience with dengue.⁹² Within a year and a half, after roughly eight hundred thousand children in the Philippines had received Dengvaxia, at least six hundred had died.⁹³ Despite these outcomes, Fauci assured the Wall Street Journal in 2018, “We do not think this is going to be a showstopper in any way or form” and pushed forward with additional trials of Dengvaxia in Brazil.⁹⁴ By May 2019, the FDA had approved Dengvaxia for the U.S., Puerto Rico, Guam and the British Virgin Islands, with a mild stipulation that doctors confirm prior dengue infection before vaccination.⁹⁰

THE INTERNATIONAL HEALTH REGULATION AMENDMENTS: A CAUSE FOR CONCERN

Articles and Annexes within the IHR amendments that are particularly troubling include⁹⁵:

ARTICLE 1: The vague definition of “pandemic emergency” could be used to stoke global fear without justification.

ARTICLE 12: Granting the WHO Director-General unchecked, unilateral power to declare a “pandemic emergency” also could lead to unnecessary global panic.

ARTICLE 13: The WHO’s actions as a marketing arm for the pharmaceutical industry fuel profit-driven motives at the cost of public health.

ARTICLE 27: Allowing the quarantine of healthy individuals is a blatant violation of fundamental human rights.

ARTICLES 35-44: The creation of a vague “Coordinating Financial Mechanism” and further control over health documents and personal data raise significant privacy and transparency concerns.

ANNEX 1.2(c): Directing member nations to develop, strengthen and maintain “core capacities for surveillance” compromises privacy and civil liberties, representing an overreach of government authority.

ANNEX 1.3(i): Empowering governments to address “misinformation” and “disinformation” risks violating the fundamental right to free speech and may lead to censorship of public discourse.
