At a January 2019 conference hosted by the Gates Foundation–funded Centre on Global Health Security at London’s Chatham House, Marc Van Ranst, a Belgian virologist and pharmaceutical industry insider financially and ideologically indentured to GSK, Sanofi-Pasteur, J&J, and Abbott, described his role during the swine flu hoax a decade earlier. Chatham House is an exclusive think tank for globalist and corporatist elites. Its deliberations are so closely guarded that its name is synonymous with secrecy.
In 2009, Van Ranst served as Belgium’s flu commissioner, in charge of managing crisis communication. To audible and admiring guffaws, Van Ranst told his corps d’elite audience how to stage a pandemic: “You have one opportunity to do it right. You have to go for one voice, one message. . . . You have to be omnipresent that first day or days, so you attract media attention . . . and they’re not going to search for alternative voices.” He explained that “talking about fatalities is important because . . . people say wow, what do you mean, people die because of influenza? That was a necessary step to take. Then of course a couple of days later, you had the first H1N1 death in the country and the scene was set.” He continued: “I misused the fact that the top football clubs in Belgium inappropriately and against all agreements made their soccer players priority people. I could use that, because if the population really believes that this vaccine is so desirable that even these soccer players would be dishonest to get their vaccine, okay I can play with that. So I made a big fuss about it. . . . It worked.”77
In 2020, this kind of thinking earned Van Ranst appointments to the Belgian “Risk Assessment Group” (RAG) and to the “Scientific committee Coronavirus,” which advises Belgian health authorities on combating the virus. He became the public face of Belgium’s response to COVD-19.
By October 2009, many people were complaining of a wave of devastating illnesses from the flu shots. From the beginning of their concocted pandemic, Dr. Fauci and other trusted public health officials had stressed that pregnant women were at a special risk from the swine flu compared to the seasonal flu.78 This was a lie, but terrified mothers queued up in droves to get the jab.
Many of them would regret their choice. Research by Goldman in 2013 documented an elevenfold increase in fetal loss reports following the 2009–2010 pandemic flu season when pregnant women received two seasonal flu vaccines during pregnancy, and the H1N1 vaccine.79
A 2017 CDC study links miscarriage to flu vaccines, particularly in the first trimester. Pregnant women vaccinated in the 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 flu seasons had two times greater odds of having a miscarriage within twenty-eight days of receiving the vaccine. In women who had received the H1N1 vaccine in the previous flu season, the odds of having a miscarriage within twenty-eight days were 7.7 times greater than in women who did not receive a flu shot during their pregnancy.80
To quiet the clamor, Dr. Fauci took to YouTube to reassure the global public that the flu shots were rigorously tested, perfectly safe and that the risks of serious adverse events for the influenza vaccine are “very, very, very small”81 This statement was scientifically baseless. Heavy conflicts of interest marred the underlying studies, which received fast-tracked approval without any functional double-blind placebo-controls.82 Dr. Fauci went on to explain, “The H1N1 pandemic flu vaccine is made exactly the same way by the same manufacturers with the same processing, the same materials, as we make seasonal flu vaccine, which has an extraordinarily good safety record.”
Two months after Dr. Fauci made these public assurances, an explosion of grave side effects, including miscarriages, narcolepsy, and febrile convulsions, was causing carnage in multiple countries.83 According to the European Medicines Agency (EMA),84 Pandemrix caused more than 980 cases of severe neurological injuries, paralysis from Guillain-Barré syndrome, debilitating narcolepsy, and cataplexy, including in more than 500 children. The Glaxo vaccine killed and injured so many children and health workers with various forms of brain damage that it forced Glaxo to withdraw the vaccine.85, 86
The 2009 H1N1 swine flu pandemic was another hyped global contagion fraud that never materialized.
Epidemiologist Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, chairman of the Health Committee, of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), declared that the 2009 “false pandemic” was “one of the greatest medicine scandals of the century.”87 The director of the WHO Collaborating Center for Epidemiology in Munster, Germany, Dr. Ulrich Kiel, labeled the pandemic a meticulously planned hoax. “We are witnessing a gigantic misallocation of resources ($18 billion so far) in terms of public health,” Kiel said.88 Writing in Forbes magazine, medical journalist Michael Fumento concluded that “This wasn’t merely overcautiousness or simple misjudgment. The pandemic declaration, and all the Klaxon-ringing since, reflect sheer dishonesty motivated not by medical concerns but political ones.”89
Wolf-Dieter Ludwig, medical professor and chairman of the Drug Commission of the German Medical Profession, declared that “The boards of Health have been taken in by a campaign of the pharmaceutical companies that simply wanted to earn money with the supposed threat.”90
As usual, there was no investigation of Dr. Fauci or the other medical officials who choreographed this multibillion-dollar fraud. The pharmaceutical companies walked away with billions, sticking governments and taxpayers with the ruinous cost of compensating flu shot injuries.
In his 2011 article about the scandal in the journal of Dr. Med. Mabuse, “The Power of Money: A Fundamental Reform of the WHO is Overdue,” psychologist Thomas Gebauer wrote that “Increasingly, private money or earmarked donations from individual states are deciding on the goals and strategies of the WHO.” The extent of their influence was recently demonstrated by the way the WHO dealt with the “swine flu.” The article opens with a photo of Bill Gates.
In his book Virus Mania, journalist Torsten Engelbrecht quotes epidemiologist Angela Spelsberg, an expert on pandemic manipulation and drug industry corruption, that the “swine flu pandemic was deliberately used by the pharmaceutical industry for marketing purposes.”91
