1
00:00:00,420 --> 00:00:04,000
Ten billion dollars. I mean, just speak about the magnitude of that.

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,780
That is by far the biggest commitment of the foundation, isn't it, Bill?

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,279
I mean, this is by far the largest.

4
00:00:10,740 --> 00:00:12,980
That's right, we've been spending a lot on vaccines.

5
00:00:13,259 --> 00:00:17,420
With this commitment, over eight million additional lives will be saved.

6
00:00:17,739 --> 00:00:24,899
So it's one of the most effective ways that health in the poorest countries can be dramatically improved.

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,899
In January of 2010, Bill and Melinda Gates used the World Economic Forum at Davos

8
00:00:32,100 --> 00:00:35,939
to announce a staggering $10 billion commitment to research and develop vaccines

9
00:00:36,140 --> 00:00:41,179
for the world's poorest countries, kicking off what he called a "Decade of Vaccines."

10
00:00:42,500 --> 00:00:45,560
Today we're announcing a commitment over this next decade,

11
00:00:46,119 --> 00:00:52,019
which we think of as a decade of vaccines having incredible impact.

12
00:00:52,399 --> 00:00:58,219
We're announcing that we'll spend over $10 billion on vaccines.

13
00:00:59,100 --> 00:01:01,120
Hailed by the Gates-funded media...

14
00:01:01,399 --> 00:01:05,120
For the record, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is a NewsHour underwriter.

15
00:01:05,420 --> 00:01:10,019
... and applauded by the pharmaceutical companies who stood to reap the benefits of that largesse,

16
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,500
the record-setting commitment made waves in the international community,

17
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,280
helping to underwrite a Global Vaccine Action Plan

18
00:01:16,540 --> 00:01:19,600
coordinated by the Gates-funded World Health Organization.

19
00:01:20,299 --> 00:01:25,359
But contrary to the Gates' own PR spin that this $10 billion pledge was an unalloyed good

20
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:30,859
and would save eight million lives, the truth is that this attempt to reorient the global health economy

21
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:32,800
was part of a much bigger agenda.

22
00:01:33,299 --> 00:01:37,140
An agenda that would ultimately lead to greater profits for Big Pharma companies,

23
00:01:37,719 --> 00:01:40,659
greater control for the Gates Foundation over the field of global health,

24
00:01:41,219 --> 00:01:44,500
and greater power for Bill Gates to shape the course of the future

25
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,600
for billions of people around the planet.

26
00:01:47,799 --> 00:01:51,579
This is Bill Gates' Plan to Vaccinate the World.

27
00:01:52,579 --> 00:01:54,859
You're tuned into The Corbett Report.

28
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,960
Given Gates' pledge to make this a "Decade of Vaccines," it should come as no surprise

29
00:02:04,219 --> 00:02:07,780
that, since the dawn of this coronavirus crisis, he has been adamant

30
00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:12,079
that the world will not go back to normal until a vaccine has been developed.

31
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:18,240
We're gonna have this intermediate period of opening up, and it won't be normal

32
00:02:18,539 --> 00:02:24,060
until we get an amazing vaccine to the entire world.

33
00:02:24,900 --> 00:02:30,959
The vaccine is critical, because, until you have that, things aren't really going to be normal.

34
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,300
They can open up to some degree, but the risk of a rebound will be there

35
00:02:35,879 --> 00:02:38,180
until we have very broad vaccination.

36
00:02:39,379 --> 00:02:44,259
They won't be back to normal until we either have that phenomenal vaccine

37
00:02:44,580 --> 00:02:49,240
or a therapeutic that's, like, over 95% effective.

38
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,659
And so we have to assume that's going to be almost 18 months from now.

39
00:02:54,740 --> 00:02:59,820
And then the final solution—which is a year or two years off—is the vaccine.

40
00:03:00,099 --> 00:03:03,239
So we've got to go full-speed ahead on all three fronts.

41
00:03:03,740 --> 00:03:08,740
Just to head off the conspiracy theorists, maybe we shouldn't call the vaccine "the final solution."

42
00:03:09,039 --> 00:03:12,219
Maybe just "the best solution." Good point!

43
00:03:13,379 --> 00:03:17,019
More interestingly, since Gates began delivering this same talking point

44
00:03:17,259 --> 00:03:19,879
in every one of his many media appearances of late,

45
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:26,079
it has been picked up and repeated by heads of state, health officials, doctors and media talking heads,

46
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:31,380
right down to the scientifically arbitrary but very specific 18-month time frame.

47
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:37,500
Realistically, COVID-19 will be here for the next 18 months or more.

48
00:03:38,060 --> 00:03:44,140
We will not be able to return to normalcy until we find a vaccine or effective medications.

49
00:03:45,180 --> 00:03:52,420
The hard fact is, until we have a vaccine, going back to normal means putting lives at risk.

50
00:03:53,639 --> 00:03:58,139
This will be the new normal until a vaccine is developed.

51
00:03:59,719 --> 00:04:04,939
The only thing that will really allow life as we once knew it to resume is a vaccine.

52
00:04:06,199 --> 00:04:08,519
Obviously, we continue to work on the vaccines,

53
00:04:08,740 --> 00:04:13,100
but the vaccines have to be down the road by probably 14, 15, 16 months.

54
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:14,960
We're doing great on the vaccines.

55
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,300
The fact that so many heads of state, health ministers and media commentators

56
00:04:20,540 --> 00:04:23,879
are dutifully echoing Gates' pronouncement about the need for a vaccine

57
00:04:24,100 --> 00:04:27,180
will not be surprising to those who saw last week's exploration

58
00:04:27,459 --> 00:04:29,819
of How Bill Gates Monopolized Global Health.

59
00:04:30,699 --> 00:04:33,959
As we have seen, the Gates Foundation's tentacles have penetrated

60
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,520
into every corner of the field of public health.

61
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:42,759
Billions of dollars in funding and entire public policy agendas are under the control of this man,

62
00:04:43,100 --> 00:04:48,600
an unelected, unaccountable software developer with no medical research experience or training.

63
00:04:49,459 --> 00:04:54,539
And nowhere is Gates' control of public health more apparent than in the realm of vaccines.

64
00:04:55,660 --> 00:04:59,240
Gates launched the Decade of Vaccines with a $10 billion pledge.

65
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,039
Gates helped develop the Global Vaccine Action Plan

66
00:05:02,180 --> 00:05:04,980
administered by the Gates-funded World Health Organization.

67
00:05:05,819 --> 00:05:08,519
Gates helped found Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance,

68
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,660
aiming to develop "healthy markets" for vaccine manufacturers.

69
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,400
Gates helped launch Gavi with a $1 billion donation in 2011,

70
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:22,280
going on to contribute $4.1 billion over the course of the "Decade of Vaccines."

71
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:29,840
And so I'm pleased to announce to you that we're pledging an additional billion dollars to—

72
00:05:31,180 --> 00:05:32,860
[APPLAUSE]

73
00:05:42,420 --> 00:05:43,620
Thank you.

74
00:05:46,300 --> 00:05:47,819
[CONTINUED APPLAUSE]

75
00:05:54,319 --> 00:05:55,959
Alright, thank you.

76
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,359
[CONTINUED APPLAUSE]

77
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,240
It's not everyday we give away a billion dollars.

78
00:06:08,740 --> 00:06:13,139
One of the Gates Foundation's core funding areas is "vaccine development and surveillance,"

79
00:06:13,459 --> 00:06:17,019
which has resulted in the channeling of billions of dollars into vaccine development,

80
00:06:17,399 --> 00:06:21,000
a seat at the table to develop vaccination campaigns in countries around the globe,

81
00:06:21,519 --> 00:06:26,439
and the opportunity to shape public thinking around Bill Gates' pet project of the past five years:

82
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:32,199
preparing rapid development and deployment of vaccines in the event of a globally spreading pandemic.

83
00:06:33,579 --> 00:06:38,419
If anything kills over 10 million people in the next few decades,

84
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,339
it's most likely to be a highly infectious virus.

85
00:06:43,620 --> 00:06:46,759
Whether it occurs by a quirk of nature or at the hand of a terrorist,

86
00:06:47,220 --> 00:06:52,140
epidemiologists show through their models that a respiratory-spread pathogen

87
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,800
would kill more than 30 million people in less than a year.

88
00:06:56,540 --> 00:07:01,520
And there is a reasonable probability of that taking place in the years ahead.

89
00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:07,879
Many high-profile personalities have been gathering at this year's World Economic Forum in Davos,

90
00:07:08,139 --> 00:07:11,319
which aims to discuss the globe's most pressing issues.

91
00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:14,620
Amongst them is the Microsoft founder Bill Gates,

92
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:20,379
whose foundation is investing millions in the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations

93
00:07:20,779 --> 00:07:22,899
to help combat infectious diseases.

94
00:07:23,319 --> 00:07:27,439
Here's some of what he had to say about his push to develop new vaccines.

95
00:07:28,399 --> 00:07:33,759
Unfortunately, it takes many years to do a completely new vaccine.

96
00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:39,379
The design, the safety review, the manufacturing;

97
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:48,240
all of those things mean that an epidemic can be very widespread before that tool would come along.

98
00:07:48,839 --> 00:07:52,479
And so after Ebola the global health community talked a lot about this,

99
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:59,759
including a new type of vaccine platform called DNA/RNA that should speed things along.

100
00:08:00,079 --> 00:08:06,399
And so this Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Initiative, CEPI,

101
00:08:07,779 --> 00:08:13,359
is three countries—Japan, Norway, Germany—and two foundations—

102
00:08:13,740 --> 00:08:18,879
Wellcome Trust, who we work with on a lot of things, and our foundation, the Gates Foundation—

103
00:08:19,220 --> 00:08:29,020
coming together to fund... actually trying to use that platform and make some vaccines.

104
00:08:29,300 --> 00:08:30,879
And so that would help us in the future.

105
00:08:32,139 --> 00:08:34,299
We know vaccines can protect us.

106
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,980
We just need to be better prepared.

107
00:08:39,860 --> 00:08:41,899
So, "Let's come together.

108
00:08:42,340 --> 00:08:49,259
Let's research and invest. Let's save lives. Let's outsmart epidemics."

109
00:08:59,399 --> 00:09:04,000
Given Gates' mammoth investment in vaccines over the past decade, his insistence that...

110
00:09:04,299 --> 00:09:08,759
"Things won't go back to truly normal until we have a vaccine

111
00:09:09,100 --> 00:09:12,779
that we've gotten out to basically the entire world."

112
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,379
... is hardly surprising.

113
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:20,280
What should be surprising is that this strangely specific and continuously repeated message

114
00:09:20,919 --> 00:09:24,519
—that we will not go "back to normal" until we get a vaccine in 18 months—

115
00:09:25,019 --> 00:09:27,379
has no scientific basis whatsoever.

116
00:09:28,179 --> 00:09:33,199
Medical researchers have already conceded that a vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 may not even be possible,

117
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,460
pointing to the inability of researchers to develop any kind of immunization

118
00:09:37,659 --> 00:09:40,959
against previous coronavirus outbreaks, like SARS or MERS.

119
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,360
But even if such a vaccine were possible,

120
00:09:44,639 --> 00:09:48,879
serious concerns remain about the safety of developing, testing and delivering

121
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:54,360
such an "amazing vaccine" to "the entire world" in this remarkably short timeframe.

122
00:09:55,259 --> 00:10:00,720
Even proponents of vaccine development openly worry that the rush to vaccinate billions of people

123
00:10:00,980 --> 00:10:04,440
with a largely untested, experimental coronavirus vaccine

124
00:10:04,740 --> 00:10:07,419
will itself present grave risks to the public.

125
00:10:08,259 --> 00:10:11,080
One of these risks involves "disease enhancement."

126
00:10:12,139 --> 00:10:15,899
It has been known for over a decade that vaccination for some viral infections

127
00:10:16,179 --> 00:10:21,019
—including coronaviruses—actually enhances susceptibility to viral infection

128
00:10:21,299 --> 00:10:24,939
or even causes infections in healthy vaccine recipients.

129
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:31,040
Now, the issue of safety. Something that I want to make sure the American public understand:

130
00:10:31,519 --> 00:10:37,439
It's not only safety when you inject somebody and they get maybe an idiosyncratic reaction,

131
00:10:37,659 --> 00:10:40,079
they get a little allergic reaction, they get pain.

132
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,099
There's safety associated.

133
00:10:42,519 --> 00:10:44,679
"Does the vaccine make you worse?"

134
00:10:44,980 --> 00:10:47,960
And there are diseases in which you vaccinate someone,

135
00:10:48,340 --> 00:10:53,780
they get infected with what you're trying to protect them with, and you actually enhance the infection.

136
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,980
This is no mere theoretical risk.

137
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:03,060
As researchers who were trying to develop a vaccine for the original SARS outbreak discovered,

138
00:11:03,399 --> 00:11:09,039
the vaccine actually made the lab animals subjected to it more susceptible to the disease.

139
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,220
One of the things that we are not hearing a lot about

140
00:11:12,399 --> 00:11:17,059
is the unique potential safety problems of coronavirus vaccines.

141
00:11:17,299 --> 00:11:24,539
This was first found in the 1960s with the Respiratory Syncytial Virus vaccines,

142
00:11:24,779 --> 00:11:30,079
and it was done in Washington with the NIH and Children's National Medical Center.

143
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,600
Some of those kids who got the vaccine actually did worse,

144
00:11:33,799 --> 00:11:37,199
and I believe there were two deaths in the consequence of that study.

145
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:42,000
Because what happens with certain types of respiratory virus vaccines, you get immunized,

146
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,260
and then when you get actually exposed to the virus,

147
00:11:44,460 --> 00:11:48,920
you get this kind of paradoxical immune enhancement phenomenon,

148
00:11:49,220 --> 00:11:53,259
and what—and we don't entirely understand the basis of it.

149
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,180
But we recognize that it's a real problem for certain respiratory virus vaccines.

150
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,200
That killed the RSV program for decades.

151
00:12:00,460 --> 00:12:02,620
Now the Gates Foundation is taking it up again.

152
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:07,180
But when we started developing coronavirus vaccines—and our colleagues—

153
00:12:07,580 --> 00:12:12,879
we noticed in laboratory animals that they started to show some of the same immune pathology

154
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,280
that resembled what had happened 50 years earlier.

155
00:12:17,580 --> 00:12:21,500
This specific issue regarding coronavirus vaccines is exacerbated

156
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,759
by the arbitrary and unscientific 18-month timeframe

157
00:12:24,940 --> 00:12:27,920
that Gates is insisting on for the vaccine's development.

158
00:12:28,500 --> 00:12:31,779
In order to meet that deadline, vaccine developers are being urged

159
00:12:31,919 --> 00:12:36,639
to use new and largely unproven methods for creating their experimental immunizations,

160
00:12:36,879 --> 00:12:39,799
including DNA and mRNA vaccines.

161
00:12:41,580 --> 00:12:47,320
For a self-described wartime president, victory over COVID-19 equals a vaccine.

162
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:53,060
I hope we can have a vaccine, and we're going to fast-track it like you've never seen before.

163
00:12:53,279 --> 00:12:58,319
Adding Trump-style branding, the administration launched "Operation Warp Speed,"

164
00:12:58,799 --> 00:13:01,799
a multi-billion-dollar research and manufacturing effort

165
00:13:02,100 --> 00:13:06,180
to shorten the typical year-plus vaccine development timeline.

166
00:13:07,259 --> 00:13:11,899
We're gonna start ramping up production with the companies involved, and you do that at risk.

167
00:13:12,100 --> 00:13:16,740
In other words, you don't wait until you get an answer before you start manufacturing.

168
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:22,759
You at risk proactively start making it, assuming it's gonna work.

169
00:13:24,039 --> 00:13:27,379
You're thinking 18 months even with all the work that you've already done to this point

170
00:13:27,539 --> 00:13:31,759
and the planning that you are taking with lots of different potential vaccinations

171
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,340
and building up for that now

172
00:13:34,279 --> 00:13:39,059
Yeah, so there's an approach called RNA vaccine

173
00:13:39,259 --> 00:13:44,000
that people like Moderna, CureVac and others are using

174
00:13:44,899 --> 00:13:54,120
that in 2015 we'd identified that as very promising for pandemics and for other applications as well.

175
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:59,180
And so, if everything goes perfectly with the RNA approach,

176
00:13:59,399 --> 00:14:01,179
we could actually beat the 18 months.

177
00:14:01,299 --> 00:14:05,259
We don't want to create unrealistic expectations.

178
00:14:06,220 --> 00:14:08,379
So the concept of an RNA vaccine is:

179
00:14:08,639 --> 00:14:12,720
Let's inject the RNA molecule that encodes for the spike protein.

180
00:14:12,919 --> 00:14:19,279
It's making your cell do the work of creating this viral protein that is going to be recognized

181
00:14:19,539 --> 00:14:23,219
by your immune system and trigger the development of these antibodies.

182
00:14:23,460 --> 00:14:25,740
Our bodies won't make a full-fledged infectious virus.

183
00:14:25,980 --> 00:14:30,139
They'll just make a little piece and then learn to recognize it and then get ready

184
00:14:30,279 --> 00:14:33,100
to destroy the virus if it then later comes and invades us.

185
00:14:33,259 --> 00:14:35,240
It's a relatively new, unproven technology.

186
00:14:35,679 --> 00:14:39,859
And there's still no example of an RNA vaccine that's been deployed worldwide

187
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,720
in the way that we need for the coronavirus.

188
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,500
There is the possibility for unforeseen, adverse effects.

189
00:14:45,679 --> 00:14:47,299
So this is all new territory.

190
00:14:47,559 --> 00:14:54,259
Whether it would elicit protective immune response against this virus is just unknown right now.

191
00:14:55,860 --> 00:15:01,019
Rushing at "Warp Speed" to develop a new vaccine using experimental technology

192
00:15:01,299 --> 00:15:07,000
and then mass-producing and delivering billions of doses to be injected into "basically the entire world"

193
00:15:07,259 --> 00:15:09,159
before adequate testing is even done

194
00:15:09,460 --> 00:15:13,120
amounts to one of the most dangerous experiments in the history of the world,

195
00:15:13,460 --> 00:15:16,680
one that could alter the lives of untold numbers of people.

196
00:15:17,539 --> 00:15:19,500
That an experimental vaccine

197
00:15:19,740 --> 00:15:23,840
—developed in a brand new wayand rushed through with a special, shortened testing regime—

198
00:15:24,019 --> 00:15:29,699
should be given to adults, children, pregnant women, newborn babies, and the elderly alike,

199
00:15:30,039 --> 00:15:33,360
would be, in any other situation, unthinkable.

200
00:15:34,100 --> 00:15:37,420
To suggest that such a vaccine should be given to the entire planet

201
00:15:37,639 --> 00:15:40,519
would have been called lunacy mere months ago.

202
00:15:40,940 --> 00:15:45,200
But now the public is being asked to accept this premise without question.

203
00:15:46,100 --> 00:15:50,379
Even Gates himself acknowledges the inherent risks of such a project.

204
00:15:50,539 --> 00:15:53,879
But his concern is not for the lives that will be irrevocably altered

205
00:15:54,019 --> 00:15:56,840
in the event that the vaccines cause damage to the population.

206
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,760
Instead, he is more concerned that the pharmaceutical companies

207
00:16:00,980 --> 00:16:04,860
and the researchers are given legal immunity for any such damage.

208
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:13,420
You know, if we have, you know, one in 10,000 side effects, that's, you know, way more

209
00:16:13,620 --> 00:16:17,860
—700,000—you know, people who will suffer from that.

210
00:16:18,059 --> 00:16:24,339
So really understanding the safety at gigantic scale across all age ranges

211
00:16:24,620 --> 00:16:31,740
—you know, pregnant, male, female, undernourished, existing comorbidities—it's very, very hard.

212
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:37,360
And that actual decision of, "OK, let's go and give this vaccine to the entire world,"

213
00:16:37,620 --> 00:16:39,620
ah, governments will have to be involved

214
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:47,060
because there will be some risk and indemnification needed before that can be decided on.

215
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,540
As we have already seen, in the arena of global health,

216
00:16:51,860 --> 00:16:55,139
what Bill Gates wants is what the world gets.

217
00:16:55,419 --> 00:16:59,399
So it should be no surprise that immunity for the Big Pharma vaccine manufacturers

218
00:16:59,639 --> 00:17:03,699
and the vaccination program planners is already being worked on.

219
00:17:04,339 --> 00:17:08,339
In the US, the Department of Health and Human Services issued a declaration

220
00:17:08,539 --> 00:17:12,259
that retroactively provides "liability immunity for activities

221
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,060
related to medical countermeasures against COVID-19,"

222
00:17:15,579 --> 00:17:18,839
including manufacturers, distributors and program planners of

223
00:17:19,140 --> 00:17:24,020
"any vaccine, used to treat, diagnose, cure, prevent, or mitigate COVID-19."

224
00:17:24,940 --> 00:17:27,320
The declaration was issued on March 17th

225
00:17:27,579 --> 00:17:31,839
but retroactively covers any activity back to February 4th, 2020,

226
00:17:32,180 --> 00:17:36,940
the day before the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation announced an emergency $100 million

227
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:41,379
to fund treatment efforts and to develop new vaccines for COVID-19.

228
00:17:42,700 --> 00:17:46,460
The plan to inject everyone on the planet with an experimental vaccine

229
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:52,480
is no aberration in Bill Gates' envisioned "Decade of Vaccines." It is its culmination.

230
00:17:53,519 --> 00:17:58,460
The "Decade of Vaccines" kicked off with a Gates-funded $3.6 million observational study

231
00:17:58,619 --> 00:18:03,019
of HPV vaccines in India that, according to a government investigation,

232
00:18:03,420 --> 00:18:08,060
violated the human rights of the study participants with "gross violations" of consent

233
00:18:08,519 --> 00:18:13,500
and failed to properly report adverse events experienced by the vaccine recipients.

234
00:18:14,319 --> 00:18:19,679
After the deaths of seven girls involved in the trial were reported, a parliamentary investigation concluded

235
00:18:19,900 --> 00:18:23,720
that the Gates-funded Program for Appropriate Technology in Health (PATH),

236
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:28,279
which ran the study, had been engaged in a scheme to help ensure "healthy markets"

237
00:18:28,519 --> 00:18:33,099
for GlaxoSmithKline and Merck, the manufacturers of the Gardasil and Cervarix vaccines

238
00:18:33,279 --> 00:18:36,220
that had been so generously donated for use in the trial:

239
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,380
"Had PATH been successful in getting the HPV vaccine included

240
00:18:40,519 --> 00:18:43,639
in the universal immunization program of the concerned countries,

241
00:18:43,940 --> 00:18:48,000
this would have generated windfall profit for the manufacturers by way of automatic sale,

242
00:18:48,279 --> 00:18:51,839
year after year, without any promotional or marketing expenses.

243
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,880
It is well known that once introduced into the immunization program

244
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,539
it becomes politically impossible to stop any vaccination."

245
00:19:00,839 --> 00:19:05,759
Chandra M. Gulhati, editor of the influential Monthly Index of Medical Specialities,

246
00:19:06,059 --> 00:19:10,720
remarked that "it is shocking to see how an American organization used surreptitious methods

247
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,400
to establish itself in India,"

248
00:19:12,759 --> 00:19:17,619
and Samiran Nundy, editor emeritus of the National Medical Journal of India lamented that

249
00:19:17,839 --> 00:19:21,720
"this is an obvious case where Indians were being used as guinea pigs."

250
00:19:22,779 --> 00:19:26,519
Throughout the decade, India's concerns about the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation

251
00:19:26,740 --> 00:19:31,039
and its corporate partners' influence on the country's national immunization programs grew.

252
00:19:31,700 --> 00:19:35,819
In 2016, the steering group of the country's National Health Mission

253
00:19:36,099 --> 00:19:40,919
blasted the government for allowing the country's National Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation

254
00:19:41,220 --> 00:19:45,000
—the primary body advising the government on all vaccination-related matters—

255
00:19:45,299 --> 00:19:48,379
to be effectively purchased by the Gates Foundation.

256
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,740
As one steering group member noted:

257
00:19:51,099 --> 00:19:54,959
"The NTAGI secretariat has been moved out of the government's health ministry

258
00:19:55,140 --> 00:19:57,700
to the office of Public Health Foundation of India

259
00:19:57,900 --> 00:20:03,860
and the 32 staff members in that secretariat draw their salaries from the BMGF.

260
00:20:04,599 --> 00:20:09,439
There is a clear conflict of interest—on one hand, the BMGF funds the secretariat

261
00:20:09,619 --> 00:20:13,579
that is the highest decision making body in vaccines and, on the other,

262
00:20:13,859 --> 00:20:18,559
it partners the pharma industry in GAVI. This is unacceptable."

263
00:20:19,779 --> 00:20:23,420
In 2017, the government responded by cutting all financial ties

264
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,200
between the advisory group and the Gates Foundation.

265
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:31,559
Similar stories play out across the Gates Foundation's "Decade of Vaccines."

266
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,140
There's the Gates-founded and funded Meningitis Vaccine Project,

267
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,980
which led to the creation and testing of MenAfriVac,

268
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,939
a $0.50-per-dose immunization against meningococcal meningitis.

269
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,720
The tests led to reports of between 40 and 500 children

270
00:20:45,900 --> 00:20:49,900
suffering seizures and convulsions and eventually becoming paralyzed.

271
00:20:50,559 --> 00:20:55,259
There's the 2017 confirmation that the Gates-supported oral polio vaccine

272
00:20:55,339 --> 00:20:59,000
was actually responsible for the majority of new polio cases

273
00:20:59,180 --> 00:21:05,420
and the 2018 follow up showing that 80% of polio cases are now vaccine-derived.

274
00:21:06,259 --> 00:21:11,359
There's the 2018 paper in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health

275
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,960
concluding that over 490,000 people in India developed paralysis

276
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:20,599
as a result of the oral polio vaccine between 2000 and 2017.

277
00:21:21,619 --> 00:21:25,759
There's even the WHO's own malaria chief, Dr. Arata Kochi,

278
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,980
who complained in an internal memo that Gates' influence meant

279
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,640
that the world's leading malaria scientists are now "locked up in a ‘cartel'

280
00:21:32,799 --> 00:21:36,139
with their own research funding being linked to those of others within the group"

281
00:21:36,559 --> 00:21:40,879
and that the foundation "was stifling debate on the best ways to treat and combat malaria,

282
00:21:41,259 --> 00:21:46,180
prioritizing only those methods that relied on new technology or developing new drugs."

283
00:21:47,519 --> 00:21:50,220
Kochi's complaint, written in 2008,

284
00:21:50,519 --> 00:21:55,619
highlights the most common criticism of the global health web that Gates has spun in the past two decades:

285
00:21:55,880 --> 00:22:00,820
that the public health industry has become a racket run by and for Big Pharma and its partners

286
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,759
for the benefit of big business.

287
00:22:03,380 --> 00:22:05,660
At the time that Kochi was writing his memo,

288
00:22:05,859 --> 00:22:10,079
the executive director of the Gates Foundation's Global Health program was Tachi Yamada.

289
00:22:10,599 --> 00:22:14,299
Yamada left his position as Chairman of Research and Development at GlaxoSmithKline

290
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:19,360
to take up the position at the Gates Foundation in 2006 and left the foundation five years later

291
00:22:19,519 --> 00:22:23,420
to become Chief Medical and Scientific Officer at Takeda Pharmaceuticals.

292
00:22:24,039 --> 00:22:28,000
Yamada's replacement as head of Gates' Global health program, Trevor Mundel,

293
00:22:28,259 --> 00:22:31,119
was himself a clinical researcher at Pfizer and Parke-Davis

294
00:22:31,420 --> 00:22:35,080
and spent time as Head of Development with Novartis before joining the foundation.

295
00:22:36,180 --> 00:22:38,940
This use of foundation funds to set public policy

296
00:22:39,140 --> 00:22:42,960
to drive up corporate profits is not a secret conspiracy.

297
00:22:43,519 --> 00:22:45,400
It is a perfectly open one.

298
00:22:46,299 --> 00:22:49,259
When the Center for Global Development formed a working group to

299
00:22:49,500 --> 00:22:52,200
"develop a practical approach to the vaccine challenge,"

300
00:22:52,599 --> 00:22:55,659
they concluded that the best way to incentivize pharmaceutical companies

301
00:22:55,839 --> 00:23:00,639
to produce more vaccines for the third world was for governments to promise to buy vaccines

302
00:23:00,859 --> 00:23:02,619
before they were even developed.

303
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,880
They titled their report "Making Markets for Vaccines."

304
00:23:08,299 --> 00:23:11,819
The project "Making Markets for Vaccines" was really designed

305
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,019
to address a problem that's existed for a long time,

306
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:20,180
which is insufficient research and development budgets as well as investment capacity

307
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,680
in vaccine development and production for the third world.

308
00:23:24,099 --> 00:23:28,899
How do you create better incentives to get the pharma community

309
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:33,879
—the vaccine community—to produce products that are specifically dedicated for the developing world.

310
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,660
Michael Kramer, a professor at Harvard, had been thinking about this problem for many years.

311
00:23:38,900 --> 00:23:42,300
He realized that if the rich countries of the world were to make a promise

312
00:23:42,579 --> 00:23:47,240
that they would buy a malaria vaccine if somebody produced it, that that would give an incentive

313
00:23:47,420 --> 00:23:51,440
to the pharmaceutical industry to go and do the research and development needed to make one.

314
00:23:51,579 --> 00:23:53,199
But this idea was unfamiliar.

315
00:23:53,420 --> 00:23:56,600
No government had made a commitment to buy a product that didn't already exist.

316
00:23:58,039 --> 00:24:02,180
When the first such "Advanced Market Commitment" was made in 2007

317
00:24:02,579 --> 00:24:07,679
—a $1.5 billion promise to buy yet-to-be-produced vaccines from Big Pharma manufacturers—

318
00:24:08,180 --> 00:24:11,779
there was the Gates Foundation as the only non-nation sponsor.

319
00:24:12,380 --> 00:24:16,920
The Gates-founded Gavi Vaccine Alliance is an open partnership between the Gates Foundation,

320
00:24:17,079 --> 00:24:21,339
the World Health Organization, the World Bank and vaccine manufacturers.

321
00:24:21,660 --> 00:24:25,880
Their stated goal includes "introducing new vaccines into the routine schedules

322
00:24:26,019 --> 00:24:30,839
of national immunization programmes" and engaging in "market shaping efforts"

323
00:24:31,059 --> 00:24:35,399
to ensure "healthy markets for vaccines and other immunization products."

324
00:24:36,099 --> 00:24:39,619
If "introducing new vaccines" and ensuring healthy markets for them

325
00:24:39,819 --> 00:24:42,480
was the aim of Gates' "Decade of Vaccines,"

326
00:24:42,779 --> 00:24:48,680
there can be no doubt that COVID-19 has seen that goal realized in spectacular fashion.

327
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,539
Let's start the pledging.

328
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:56,100
The EU kicked off its fundraising drive with 1 billion euros.

329
00:24:56,420 --> 00:25:00,060
In the hours that followed, pledges were beamed in from across the globe.

330
00:25:00,220 --> 00:25:04,900
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has pledged 500 million dollars.

331
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:09,880
Even pop icon Madonna made a last-minute donation of a million euros.

332
00:25:10,460 --> 00:25:16,340
By combining the world's expertise and brainpower and resources,

333
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:21,360
we can attack this disease in the way it's attacking us: globally.

334
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,440
Our foundation is proud to partner with you

335
00:25:24,660 --> 00:25:29,460
and I'm pleased to announce today that we will pledge a hundred million dollars towards this effort.

336
00:25:30,059 --> 00:25:34,740
Germany was one of the leading donors, pledging over five hundred million euros.

337
00:25:35,079 --> 00:25:38,439
The money is earmarked for international health organizations

338
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:43,640
and research networks in a bid to speed up the development of a vaccine.

339
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:51,540
And there, at the center of this web, is the Gates Foundation, connected to every major organization,

340
00:25:51,799 --> 00:25:57,700
research institution, international alliance and vaccine manufacturer involved in the current crisis.

341
00:25:58,579 --> 00:26:03,119
Certainly, the Gates —like the Rockefellers— have profited from their years as

342
00:26:03,279 --> 00:26:05,740
"the most generous people on the planet."

343
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:10,779
As curious as it might seem to those who don't understand the true nature of this monopoly cartel,

344
00:26:11,059 --> 00:26:15,460
despite all of these grants and pledges —commitments of tens of billions of dollars—

345
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:20,560
Bill Gates' personal net worth has actually doubled during this "Decade of Vaccines,"

346
00:26:20,819 --> 00:26:24,579
from $50 billion to over $100 billion.

347
00:26:25,799 --> 00:26:28,279
But once again we come back to the question:

348
00:26:28,940 --> 00:26:30,460
Who is Bill Gates?

349
00:26:31,140 --> 00:26:33,420
Is he motivated simply by money?

350
00:26:33,740 --> 00:26:39,039
Is this incessant drive to vaccinate the entire population of the planet merely the result of greed?

351
00:26:39,660 --> 00:26:42,540
Or is there something else driving this agenda?

352
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:49,119
As we shall see next time, money is not the end goal of Gates' "philanthropic" activities.

353
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:55,460
Money is just the tool that he is using to purchase what he really wants: control.

354
00:26:56,220 --> 00:27:01,880
Control not just of the health industry, but control of the human population itself.

355
00:27:11,279 --> 00:27:16,259
So Melinda and I wondered whether providing new medicins and keeping children alive

356
00:27:16,420 --> 00:27:19,960
would create more of a population problem.

357
00:27:20,579 --> 00:27:25,339
Researchers are now developing a vaccine that is delivered using a dissolvable patch,

358
00:27:25,579 --> 00:27:27,859
called a micro-needle array.

359
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:33,920
In Gates'vision, these digital identities will be tied to all of our actions and transactions.

360
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,920
Once you have that digital infrastructure,

361
00:27:38,259 --> 00:27:43,299
the whole way you think about government benefits can be done differently.

362
00:27:43,759 --> 00:27:48,160
So it's too bad if somebody thinks that creates a privacy problem.
