Another Warning … So, What are They Planning Now? By James Reed
We have covered some time back, Bill Gates’ warning that as far as pandemics go, we have not seen anything yet with Covid. Gates has said that there will be future pandemics, perhaps sooner than most think. And, he is not the only elite saying this, as more recently at the 7th World One Health Congress, the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) Covid-19 technical lead, Dr Maria Van Kerkhove, said exactly the same. According to Dr Kerkhove there will be coming pandemics, and planning to control them, must be done now. I can hardly wait.
We should take these warnings very seriously, since the elites like to publicise what is going to happen, believing that no matter how much information is given, nothing will be done by resistance by us little people. I hope that next time round, their plan can be defeated.
“To avert a repeat of the impact of Covid-19, the world needs to start preparing for the next pandemic now. This is even amid the backdrop of a difficult global environment, with issues such as inflation and the Ukraine crisis competing for attention, says an expert.
In an interview with The Straits Times on the sidelines of the 7th World One Health Congress on Friday, the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) Covid-19 technical lead, Dr Maria Van Kerkhove, said countries need to leverage the trauma of Covid-19 right now to gear up for the next threat.
“We have to use that horrible situation to build something better. If we don’t do it now, we won’t do it. We will just go from the next, to the next, to the next, and then be surprised and say, why didn’t we use that opportunity?” said the American epidemiologist.
Dr Van Kerkhove gave a keynote address to close the five-day congress held at Sands Expo and Convention Centre. It was attended by 2,400 participants in person and virtually.
In her speech, she said that in order to better tackle emerging threats, five Cs need to be in place.
These are collaborative surveillance to pick up new diseases; emergency coordination such as national action plans for prevention preparedness; access to countermeasures such as fast-track research and development; community protection; and safe and scalable care.
“We have to ensure that what we are doing for Covid-19, what we are doing for diseases that we know about, fits into the fiscal and political space and the psyche of all of us in terms of the other challenges we are facing, like economic crises, war, and climate change,” she said.
She added that she hopes the legally binding pandemic treaty that the WHO is planning to negotiate and draft represents a promise by countries to prevent a situation like Covid-19.
“Pandemic preparedness, I would argue, is a constant. People keep using this phrase – peacetime. I don’t think there is peacetime, we are constantly moving from fire to fire, and I think we need to ensure that we don’t let up.”
