The more you LEARN about Bill Gates, the more he DISGUSTS you.

>The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has purchased shares in nine big pharmaceutical companies valued at nearly $205 million

>In 2018 alone, the Foundation gave $237.8 million to the WHO, making it the second-largest contributor after the U.S.

(NOTE: When the U.S. withdrew support from the WHO last year, the Foundation became THE LARGEST revenue stream for the WHO.)

The Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations (GAVI), a “public-private partnership” that facilitates bulk sales of vaccines to poor countries, is the 2nd-largest funder of the WHO (after the Foundation), and gave $158.5 million to the WHO in 2018. 

gavi.org/investing-gavi…

In the late 1990s, Bill Gates established GAVI with $750 million in seed money. To date, the Gates Foundation has given GAVI more than $4.1 billion (20% of GAVI funds). It also occupies a permanent seat on the GAVI board.

Allison Katz, who worked 18 yrs at WHO, said it is “a victim of neoliberal globalization.” She wrote an open letter to the Director General in 2007, them for “begging ... the foundations of celebrity ‘philanthropists’ with diverse agendas.” #plandemic

Private donations to the WHO are earmarked; meaning, the WHO has no discretion over how to use the money. The Foundation basically tells the WHO where to spend its $$$. This makes Bill Gates, as its largest donor, the unofficial, unelected, de facto leader of the WHO. #plandemic

According to Foreign Affairs, “few policy initiatives or normative standards set by the WHO are announced before they have been casually, unofficially vetted by Gates Foundation staff.”

foreignaffairs.com/articles/2012-…

Or, as other sources told Politico in 2017, “Gates’ priorities have become the WHO’s.”

politico.eu/article/bill-g…

In 2007, the chief of the WHO malaria program, Dr. Arata Kochi, warned of the Gates Foundation’s financial dominance, arguing that its money could have “far reaching, largely unintended consequences.” #plandemic

nytimes.com/2008/02/16/sci…

Seven years later, the organization’s then-Director General Margaret Chan noted that because the WHO’s budget is highly earmarked, it is “driven by what [she calls] donor interests.”

nytimes.com/2014/09/04/wor…

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus became WHO Director General in 2017. He was previously on the board of two organizations Gates founded, provided seed money for, and continues to fund to this day: GAVI and the Global Fund, where Tedros was chair of the board.

theglobalfund.org/en/news/2009-0…

Today, Tedros, the first WHO director general who is not a medical doctor, can be found tweeting praise for Bill Gates’ op-eds.

Another mechanism the Foundation employs to influence the WHO is Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE), the principal advisory group to the WHO for vaccines. SAGE is a board of 15 people, legally required to disclose possible conflicts of interest.
who.int/groups/strateg…

During a recent virtual meeting, half of the board’s members who did so listed Gates Foundation connections as possible conflicts of interests.

who.int/immunization/s…

The foundation’s influence in the international health arena goes well beyond the WHO. A 2017 analysis of 23 global health partnerships revealed that seven relied entirely on Gates Foundation funding and another nine listed the foundation as its top donor.
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17055633/

The Foundation also directed its wealth toward influencing news coverage and suppress criticism of its activities. It has donated millions to major media outlets, including NPR, PBS, ABC, BBC, Al Jazeera, the Daily Telegraph, the Financial Times, Univision, and The Guardian.

In fact, The Guardian’s entire “Global Development” section was made possible through a partnership with the Gates Foundation. theguardian.com/gnm-press-offi…

The foundation has also invested millions in journalism training and in researching effective ways of crafting media narratives.

According to the Seattle Times, “experts coached in Gates-funded programs write columns that appear in media outlets from the New York Times to the Huffington Post, while digital portals blur the line between journalism and spin.” #plandemic

The foundation appears to see the Global South as both a dumping ground for drugs deemed too unsafe for the developed world and a testing ground for drugs not yet determined to be safe enough for the developed world.

African nations are financially incentivized to use an out-of-date, deeply dangerous DTP vaccine, with GAVI making DTP a priority for African children. The U.S. and other Western countries phased out DTP in the 1990s and replaced it with a safer version.

gavi.org/sites/default/…

The risks of the whole-cell pertussis jab (used in the DTP vaccine) are greater than the risks associated with contracting wild pertussis. There is evidence linking the drug to brain damage, seizures, and even death.

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

More African children are dying from the DTP vaccine than by the diseases it prevents. Researchers concluded that boys were dying at almost quadruple the rate of those who had not received the shot, while girls suffered almost 10 times the death rate. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

The Foundation distributes an oral polio vaccine that contains a live polio virus. This live virus can replicate inside a child’s intestine and spread in places with poor sanitation and plumbing. That means the vaccine is spreading the virus! #plandemic

philanthropynewsdigest.org/news/gates-oth…

>On 2 dozen+ occasions since 2000, the live vaccine has re-evolved the ability to infect unvaccinated people and can circulate widely, allowing the virus to fully readapt to human hosts and leading to hundreds of cases of childhood paralysis.

Bill Gates’ polio vaccine is a cause and effect loop. It’s a deadly scam.

Polio outbreaks in both the Philippines and the Congo are the result of the OPV.

who.int/csr/don/24-sep…

sciencemag.org/news/2018/07/p…

In 2005, Oxford’s Clinical Infectious Diseases Periodical contended that polio outbreaks in China, Egypt, Haiti, and Madagascar were also caused by the OPV. “The time is coming when the only cause of polio is likely to be the vaccine used to prevent it.”

sciencemag.org/news/2018/07/p…

In 2009, Oxford’s Clinical Infectious Diseases Periodical reported that “The most recent mass polio vaccination programs [in India], fueled by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, resulted in increased cases [of polio].”

academic.oup.com/cid/article/49…

Gates’ OPV is also causing outbreaks of another disease called non-polio acute flaccid paralysis (NPAFP). An epidemic of that NPAFP paralyzed 490,000 children between 2000 and 2017, “was indeed an adverse effect of the [WHO’s] polio immunization program.”
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

Despite the findings, the Foundation and the WHO went on to distribute the OPV in more countries, including Nigeria, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, where the foundation says the WHO is now providing “unprecedented levels of technical assistance” for polio vaccination campaigns.

In Syria, the Gates-backed GAVI pledged $25 million for polio immunization in 2016. A year later, the WHO reported that 58 children in Syria had been paralyzed by the vaccine-derived form of the virus.

The Gates Foundation also helps distribute long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs). Melinda Gates often refers to LARCs as a way to empower women of impoverished countries and give them more control over their lives. gatesfoundation.org/What-We-Do/Glo…

However, some of these LARCs have adverse effects. Norplant, a contraceptive implant manufactured by Bayer that can prevent pregnancy for up to five years, was yanked from the U.S. market in 2002 after 50,000 lawsuits against the company and the doctors who prescribed it.

70 of those class action suits related to side effects like depression, extreme nausea, scalp-hair loss, ovarian cysts, migraines, and excessive bleeding.

A human development website called Degrees, bankrolled by the Foundation, alleges that Norplant “never gained much traction globally” because inserting it and removing it “proved cumbersome.” The website fails to mention the lawsuits and adverse effects.
degrees.fhi360.org/2013/02/the-ev…

gatesfoundation.org/How-We-Work/Qu…

Norplant was slightly modified and rebranded as Jadelle and pushed in Africa by the Foundation in conjunction with USAID and EngenderHealth. It is not approved by the FDA for use in the U.S.

pdf.usaid.gov/pdf_docs/PA00K…

Formerly named the Sterilization League for Human Betterment, EngenderHealth’s original mission, inspired by the racist pseudoscience of eugenics, was to “improve the biological stock of the human race.”

Pfizer’s Depo-Provera is an injectable contraceptive that the Foundation distributes in Uganda, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Niger, Senegal, Bangladesh and India. Its active ingredient (DPMA) is associated w/side effects such as blindness, and breast cancer. sljog.sljol.info/articles/abstr…

Pfizer’s one-time use version of the drug, called Sayana Press, is intended to be administered by “community health workers.” In Senegal, however, almost half of these workers had no more than a sixth grade education. fhi360.org/sites/default/…

Senegal’s Health Ministry was forced to change its laws so the health workers could legally distribute the drug. According to the Population Research Institute, USAID-funded NGOs “strong armed the government” into this decision. pop.org/usaid-needs-to…

Training materials for Sayana Press did not provide information on all the side effects of DMPA, including bone loss density and increased risk of bone fractures, violating principles of informed consent. nichd.nih.gov/newsroom/relea…

It is estimated that about 90 percent of drug development costs are incurred in F.D.A.-mandated phase III trials. But companies can avoid costs by conducting the trials in so-called developing nations. manhattan-institute.org/html/stifling-…

This cost-cutting strategy has been outlined by the U.S. consulting firm McKinsey (of which the Gates Foundation is a client), which suggested including “emerging markets” in drug trials to reduce “the loss of significant revenues.” mckinsey.com/industries/pha…

The Foundation stated its “goal” was to help drug companies side-step Phase III safety trials and accelerate the drug approval process for pharmaceutical companies. gatesfoundation.org/What-We-Do/Glo…

A South African newspaper once declared, “We are the guinea pigs for the drug makers.”

From 2009 to 2011, phase III clinical trials of the first malaria vaccine – funded by the Gates Foundation and manufactured by GSK – took place in seven African countries (Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Burkina Faso, Gabon, and Tanzania). gatesfoundation.org/Media-Center/P…

In 2011, GSK’s own data showed female children were dying (from any cause) at more than twice the rate of those in the control group. Children who received the vaccine also had a risk of meningitis that was 10 times higher than those who didn’t. bmj.com/company/newsro…

The WHO still coordinates the administration of the GSK drug to more than 700,000 children in Ghana, Kenya, and Malawi, as part of an unofficial clinical trial it calls a “pilot implementation.” (It was SAGE that recommended the pilot implementation.) who.int/news/item/23-1…

Normally, a drug goes through a phase of animal testing before it gets tested on small (phase I), medium (phase II), and large numbers of people (phase III). But with Covid, Gates wants to “save time” by conducting tests on humans and animals at once.

Moderna’s vaccine is an mRNA type which has never been approved by the FDA. This tech, which contains genetically engineered cells that permanently alter human DNA, was developed with grants from the Foundation and the Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

Bill Gates called Moderna’s mRNA technology “one of the most promising options for COVID.” Gates has an agreement to give Moderna up to $100 million to research mRNA technology in exchange for receiving “certain non-exclusive licenses.” investors.modernatx.com/news-releases/…

modernatx.com/ecosystem/stra…

Moderna’s co-founder Robert Langer has partnered with Gates in the past on projects such as the contraceptive microchip implant that can be activated wirelessly. washingtonpost.com/news/innovatio…

15 participants injected with the highest dose of the Moderna mRNA vaccine developed grade three systemic symptoms, which the FDA defines as “severe,” “disabling,” and requiring “hospitalization,” although “not immediately life-threatening.”

“Event 201” was an exercise in Oct. 2019 simulating the outbreak of a novel coronavirus. It was hosted by Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in partnership w/the Gates Foundation and the WEC. The policy proposals that emerged out of the exercise are being implemented today.

Similarities between the mock outbreak and the real outbreak have prompted unsubstantiated theories about Bill Gates “predicting” COVID 19.

businessinsider.com/coronavirus-co…

Event 201 even had chillingly realistic mock press conferences and newscasts by an imitation network called GNN. Read the headline in the photo 👇

Event 201 is available for your viewing pleasure on YouTube.

The three organizations behind Event 201 issued recommendations for dealing with a “severe pandemic.” One recommendation was to have a “robust international stockpile” of medical countermeasures like vaccines. centerforhealthsecurity.org/event201/recom…

In July 2020, there were protests in Johannesburg against the presence of phase III AstraZeneca clinical trials in Africa. The Foundation had poured $750m into this vaccine effort, and protestors were holding banners that read, “we not guinea pigs” and, “no to Gates poison.”

Just last year, Bill Gates set up a new non-profit institute, Gates Ag One, in St. Louis, Missouri, home of Monsanto, to “enable the advancement of resilient, yield enhancing seeds” and introduce them into “crops in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.” docs.gatesfoundation.org/Documents/Gate…

The Foundation has worked to ensure that the Global South is dependent on Western industry, whether through drugs or high-tech seeds and agrochemicals.

Much of this activity began in 2006 when the Gates Foundation partnered with the Rockefeller Foundation to give birth to the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA). Gates committed $100 million, while the Rockefeller Foundation ponied up $50 million.

Through AGRA, the Foundation pushes for the introduction of patented, genetically modified (GM) seeds and fertilizers. While these technologies help seed and chemical giants like Monsanto, they often undermine food security.

Dr. Vandana Shiva: “You create a new field, you invest in it. You force governments to invest in it, you destroy the regulation. You destroy the alternatives, you attack the scientists.  And you create a whole machinery for your monopoly.”

In January 2021, Bill Gates became the largest owner of farmland in the world, with 97,934 hectares. His farmland purchases started as early as 2014. He’s been vocal on the need to reduce the amount of methane cattle give off when they belch and pass gas.

theceomagazine.com/business/manag…

Last week Bill Gates was quoted as saying, "Rich countries should move to 100% synthetic beef," when asked about how countries can help to reduce methane emissions when it comes to food production.

thehill.com/homenews/news/…

It so happens that Bill Gates is invested in food-tech start-ups—such as Impossible Foods, Beyond Meat, Modern Meadow, Unreal Candy, Nu-Tek Salt and Bright Farms.

cnbc.com/2015/05/14/ham…

“Raising meat takes a great deal of land and water and has a substantial environmental impact,” Gates wrote on his personal blog, Gatesnotes.com. “Put simply, there’s no way to produce enough meat for 9 billion people. Yet we can’t ask everyone to become vegetarians.”
