Pandemic Preparedness: Arsonists Run the Fire Department
By Clayton J. Baker, MD, Brian Hooker July 1, 2024

Imagine if you will, an exceptionally ambitious city Fire Department, located in a city with very few naturally occurring fires.

These ambitious firemen don’t have nearly enough work, prestige, or pay for their liking. Uninterested in simply polishing their trucks, lifting weights, and cooking chili, these firemen want more. A lot more.

They construct a plan. They will start a research program, funded by taxpayers, whereby they will develop an arsenal of the biggest, scariest, most flammable products on earth. They will justify this program under the pretense that these destructive creations are absolutely necessary for the development of bigger and better fire extinguishers. Incidentally, they will also develop, market, and sell these fire extinguishers themselves.

These proprietary fire extinguishers will net the ambitious firemen an incredible fortune – if they can just get every man, woman, and child in the city to buy one.

The Fire Department, working with the corporations that would manufacture their miracle extinguishers, actively publicizes the supposedly tremendous, ever-increasing risk of fires that they claim threaten the population. According to the ambitious firemen, risk factors for worsened fires are everywhere and are ever-increasing – global warming, population growth, take your pick – and the next “big one” is just around the corner.

Credulous, fearful citizens and heavily lobbied politicians fall for their story, pumping ever more tax dollars into the Fire Department’s research and development program.

The Fire Department develops and grows its stockpile of manufactured fire super-hazards, until one day…

OOPS!

Somehow, one of the flammable products is released, and a raging conflagration ensues. No one knows exactly how it started – in fact, the chief firemen gather together and publicly deny that any of their products could be responsible.

But by terrifying the public and confusing the politicians, the firemen coerce the population to shelter in place and follow their strict instructions, lest they perish in the holocaust. After all, the firemen are the experts.

They heavily promote their special fire extinguishers as the only solution, even managing to get water outlawed for firefighting purposes! (Water wouldn’t work on this kind of fire, they insist. Only the Fire Department’s special extinguishers will suffice.)

Using a huge injection of taxpayer funds, the Fire Department gets their fire extinguishers built in record time, and they hard-sell them to everyone they possibly can. In the meantime, large swaths of the city burn to the ground. And due to the fire extinguishers’ poor design and hasty construction, these devices turn out to be every bit as deadly as the fire, if not worse, for their damaging effects linger long after the fire has burned itself out.

But the firemen and their corporate cronies have secured their fortunes.

The bewildered, traumatized population can’t figure out what happened, any more than the feckless politicians. The Fire Department emerges as the most powerful entity in the city. They resume their “research,” fortified by their growing wealth and power.

After all, the next big conflagration is just around the corner.

Sound implausible? Think again. Because in the realm of “pandemic preparedness,” the arsonists are running the Fire Department. ...

Edward: The drug that later became Sputnik V was granted emergency use authorization in Russia after a two-month trial involving 76 individuals.

Susan: How can a vaccine “pass all the necessary tests” in two months?

Edward: Good question, Susan. It can’t. It would be physically impossible for a vaccine to do that, actually.

Phase I trials typically last for two years. Then there’s another 5-10 years of testing before a vaccine can even be considered for public use. ...

The warp-speed development of Sputnik V was so unprecedented that the head of the Russian Health Ministry’s ethics board, Alexander Chuchalin, resigned his post a day before the vaccine was approved.

“It is impossible to guarantee sustainable safety by reducing the testing period to 4-6 weeks,” Chuchalin told the media shortly before stepping down.

Later in a November 2020 interview, Chuchalin described Sputnik V’s “deep ethical issues” as a matter of “understanding where is good and where is evil”. ...

Susan: Yeah, that’s pretty bad. I guess the silver lining is that Russia wasn’t subjected to the West’s Big Pharma clot-shots?

Edward: According to Gintsburg, Sputnik V is “very similar” to the genetic goo developed by Oxford University and AstraZeneca.

This might not be a coincidence. Moscow partnered with AstraZeneca to produce COVID vaccines and create vaccine “cocktails”—a relationship that lasted until autumn 2022, when Russian pharma firm R-Pharm, citing lack of demand, suspended domestic production of AstraZeneca’s clot-shot for export.

Dr. Anthony Fauci has revealed that he has caught COVID-19 for the third time, despite being fully “vaccinated” and “boosted” for the virus.

Fauci admitted catching the virus again during an interview with Dr. Jeremy Faust filmed on July 30 which went viral this week.

In the clip, Fauci admits that he’s “vaccinated and boosted” with Covid mRNA shots “a total of six times.”

However, rather than question the efficiency of the injections, Fauci suggested that unmasked Americans are causing Covid to spread. ...

Elsewhere in the interview, Fauci revealed that he still wears masks, despite being fully “boosted” with mRNA shots.

This comes after multiple studies have proved that masks do little, if anything at all, to prevent the spread of viruses.

In fact, some studies have shown that masking does more harm than good, as Slay News reported.

In the decade after 9/11, as biodefense enjoyed an increasing portion of national security attention and spending, the field attracted many more scientists, academic institutions and nonprofits into the study of pathogens and countermeasures. Naturally, many of these non-military entities came from fields including virology, immunology and epidemiology, whose work is used – among other purposes – for pandemic preparedness. The civilian side of the research was mostly funded by public health agencies and mega-nonprofits interested primarily in vaccine development.

It was not long before the two fields merged into one “dual use” entity – conveniently defined as a crucial aspect of national security – called simply “biodefense” or “health security.” In 2006, a new sub-agency was even created to cement the merger: ASPR – a military/intelligence-run entity within HHS – the umbrella civilian public health body. This symbiotic military/civilian enterprise could then attract a great deal more funding, and exert influence over a much vaster array of research institutions, nonprofits and NGOs than either biodefense or pandemic preparedness could have done separately.

Another impetus for the merger of the two fields was their shared private partners: pharmaceutical companies, whose job it was to help design, research and ultimately produce whatever countermeasures were deemed necessary for protection, either from bioweapons or naturally occurring pathogens. Ideally, the countermeasures for one type of disease outbreak would also work for the other.

This is why, in the decades after 2001, the biodefense field became obsessed with finding a “platform technology” that could provide protection from any conceivable bioweapon, while the public health/pandemic preparedness field pushed for a “universal flu vaccine” that could provide protection from any naturally occurring, respiratory-disease-causing virus. And, by 2019, both arms of the biodefense complex had invested a huge amount of funding and hype into a specific technology called “mRNA vaccine platforms” – thought to be the sought-after miracle countermeasure to all engineered viral bioweapons and all flu-causing viruses. ...

Along with the backing of the international banks and the support of the censorship and propaganda industrial complex (shortened in this article to “psy-op complex”) and multinational consulting firms, all of the components of the biodefense GPPP represent hundreds of billions of dollars in funding and financing, thousands of national and international companies, agencies, academic institutions and NGOs in dozens of countries, and hundreds of thousands – if not millions – of jobs all over the world. Its sheer size and control over people and resources make this an entity that is “too big to fail.”

Yet without a viable threat of a bioweapons attack or a catastrophic pandemic, this behemoth cannot continue to sustain and grow itself.

For that reason, as it ballooned in the two decades before Covid, the biodefense GPPP had to keep the threat of a catastrophic bioterror attack or global pandemic front and center. And it had to prepare all of its components to respond to the threat when it predictably, if not inevitably, occurred. ...

But the traditional business model for private pharmaceutical companies does not lend itself to such a project. No private company can survive, let alone thrive, by devoting significant resources to building and maintaining manufacturing capacity for countermeasures against a hypothetical threat that might never happen. Furthermore, the oversight and regulation of medical products will almost inevitably delay the availability of novel countermeasures until after an attack or outbreak is over. And, finally, even if the countermeasures can be manufactured and approved quickly enough, what if they cause unexpected outcomes (e.g., injury or death) for which the companies could be held liable?

All of these obstacles were overcome by the biodefense GPPP through under-the-radar legislative and legal maneuverings and regulatory capture in the decades leading up to Covid:

Regulatory barriers lowered to zero or near-zero

Over several decades, important loopholes in countermeasure regulation were introduced into the legal code, most notably Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). Internationally, defense treaties and biodefense agreements can lower regulatory barriers such that emergency authorization in one country could be applied to others. The WHO Emergency Use Listing (EUL) accomplishes this globally. EUL was first used for the Covid vaccines.

Liability removed from anyone working on, distributing, or administering countermeasures

The PREP Act was a necessary additional legal measure to ensure that anyone who did anything with EUA products would not be liable in case the unregulated countermeasures went awry. The liability shield is extended by governments and regulatory bodies internationally along with EUA.

The Novel Coronavirus Trigger

By 2019 all of these preparations for a catastrophic global pandemic were in place, but the civilization-ending pathogen/bioterror attack had not yet materialized.

Then, in late 2019 a propitious public health emergency in Wuhan, China ended the very long dry spell in biodefense disasters: Clusters of patients exhibited severe symptoms of a respiratory disease that could not be attributed to any known pathogen. Analysis of the body fluids of the patients was performed, and a novel coronavirus was identified.

Tech titan Elon Musk, who has been advising President-elect Donald Trump, doubled down on his calls to prosecute former chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci.

“My pronouns are still prosecute/Fauci,” Musk wrote on X on Tuesday.

The post was a reply to a pro-Trump account with the handle “Insurrection Barbie.”

“Fauci retired from the federal bureaucracy as the highest paid government employee, with a $480,654 salary. His pension is estimated to cost 355,000 per year. ...

“So it’s stunning that in addition to all of that, we spent $15 million on his security for the past two years. That’s $15 million dollars that nobody asked us if we wanted to fork over to America’s richest bureaucrat. Let’s not forget the royalties he made from the vaccine manufacturers for pushing that shot. How much was that again? Like 5 million dollars?” the post said.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) suggested Matt Gaetz will punish those responsible for “crimes against humanity” during the Covid-19 pandemic during a hearing on Thursday.

While discussing the country’s response to the pandemic in the hearing — titled “Preparing for Future Pandemics” — Greene railed against Dr. Anthony Fauci, former chief medical advisor to President Joe Biden, claiming he “lied to the American people” by “abusing his power and position.”

Greene also called out the government for its “repulsive” mask mandates and added that children were the “worst victims of malpractice and abuse of power.” She previously compared the mandates to the Holocaust. ...

“Preparing for the next pandemic is actually recognizing that the last pandemic resulted in crimes against humanity,” Greene said. “People that perpetuated and continue to perpetuate these crimes need to be prosecuted, and that needs to be starting in the next administration; and I’m pretty sure our next attorney general will do that and I look forward to seeing that happen.”

Covid-19 most likely emerged from a laboratory in Wuhan, China, the US Congressional Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic has concluded in a 520-page report, following a two-year investigation.

It discovered that the virus possessed a biological characteristic absent in nature, and data indicated that all Covid-19 cases stemmed from a single introduction to humans, reinforcing the ‘lab leak’ theory.

The report claims that the Chinese government, agencies within the US government, and some members of the international scientific community “sought to cover up facts concerning the origins of the pandemic.” ...

According to the report, China’s leading research laboratory for coronaviruses in Wuhan “has a history of conducting gain-of-function research at inadequate biosafety levels.” The document claims that researchers at the lab “were sick with a COVID-like virus in the fall of 2019, months before COVID-19 was discovered at the wet market.” “By nearly all measures of science, if there was evidence of a natural origin it would have already surfaced,” it went on to say. ...

That same year, Dr. Anthony Fauci – the chief medical adviser to President Joe Biden at the time who faced intense criticism for his handling of the pandemic – said the implication that lab research led to the Covid-19 pandemic is “unconscionable” and “molecularly impossible.”

The report by the Select Committee also blasted the response of officials, saying, “members and staff have exposed high-level corruption in America’s public health system, confirmed the most likely origin of the pandemic, held COVID-19 bad actors publicly accountable, fostered bipartisan consensus on consequential pandemic-era issues.”
