WHO establish global coronavirus genome surveillance network – CoViNet – for new vaccines etc

On March 27, 2024 the WHO launched the WHO Coronavirus Network (CoViNet), a global network for coronavirus genome survailance. [4] The CoViNet network replaces the "WHO SARS-CoV-2 Reference Laboratory Network", which was established by the WHO in January 2020 which had the initial objective to provide confirmatory testing to countries with no or little testing capacity" but extended to genome sequencing! "In order to be able to monitor not only SARS-CoV-2 but also other coronaviruses in the future, the WHO has now expanded the scope and objectives of the reference laboratories. ...Further, they are to enhance capacities for the identification of novel coronaviruses. Worldwide, 33 laboratories have been selected by the WHO as founding members of the CoViNet network." [1] On the same day Prof. Christian Drosten's lab in Germany becomes one of the first labs worldwide to sequence coronavirus genomes to assist in determining the next (no doubt seasonal)  COVID-19 spike protein antigen strain for the COVID-19 mRNA "vaccines" spike protein gene sequence.   [1, 2] "Monitoring will no longer be limited to viruses circulating in humans, but will increasingly be extended to animals and the environment." "The objective of an update to COVID-19 vaccine antigen composition is to..> READ MORE

WHO promote a need for a New Pandemic Treaty

In an opinion allegedly published in "several newspapers around the world" on March 30, 2021, the WHO, both in writing and a press conference, promote their own opinion along with 26 country leaders, that a new international pandemic treaty for pandemic preparedness and response was needed - because the COVID-19 pandemic was "the biggest challenge to the global community since the 1940s". The main goal of this treaty would be to foster an all-of-government and all-of-society approach,.." [1, 2, 3, 4] Among the signatories were Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization, Volodymyr Zelensky, President of Ukraine, Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany, Boris Johnson, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Emmanuel Macron, President of France, along with many other heads of other countries, but not Australia. The marketing statements in the letter included: "There will be other pandemics... The question is not if, but when." "The COVID-19 pandemic has been a stark and painful reminder that nobody is safe until everyone is safe." We are, therefore, committed to ensuring universal and equitable access to safe, efficacious and affordable vaccines... for this and future pandemics. Immunization is a global public good and we will need to be able..> READ MORE

Digital ID – surveillance

Digital surveillance will help usher in a China-style "social credit system" for the entire world. The technologies are available now that will start being used on your phone, and migrate to under your skin, maybe even within your body (nanotechnology)…

UN: Montreal Protocol on Ozone Depletion signed

On September 15, 1987 the United Nations members adopted the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, referred to as a "landmark multilateral environmental agreement" which regulates the production and consumption of nearly 100 man-made chemicals referred to as ozone depleting substances (ODS). "The Montreal Protocol ...emerged as a model for future efforts, based as it was on strong science, globally agreed-upon standards, and aggressive action by relevant industries...Relying on the formal international system alone to defend the environment risks a tragedy of the global commons: collective inaction because no country has much of an incentive to favor conservation except when national interests coincide." writes political scientist and head of Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) in 2002 - the drivers of "One Health".  [2] On November 9, 1987, 24 days later, NASA's director Dr. James E. Hansen testifies as a "private citizen" to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resource, responding to a Nov 2, 1987 letter requesting he provide his "views on the likely pace and regional implications of the greenhouse effect and global climate change..."
