Alma-Ata Declaration of 1978 – enshrining community-based healthcare

At the International Conference on Primary Health Care (PHC) held in Almaty (formerly Alma-Ata, USSR) on September 12, 1978, the Health-For-All (HFA) Alma Ata Declaration was launched.  The declaration reaffirmed the WHO Constitution that health included physical, mental and social well-being, but that "large numbers of people and even whole countries, were not enjoying an acceptable standard of health." From  then on primary health care was to be the key to attaining the goal of health for all by the year 2000. Which "enshrined community-based healthcare as the core of decision-making". [1, 2, 3, 5] "As stated in the Declaration of Alma-Ata adopted in 1978, the key to attaining the goal of health for all by the year 2000 is primary health care." Since primary health care "services reflect and evolve from the local economic conditions and social values, they vary in different countries and communities...but should include at least education concerning prevailing health problems and the methods of preventing and controlling them... including family planning; immunization against the major infectious diseases;prevention and control of locally endemic diseases..." Out of this declaration global targets for health were established and measured. The strategy of health-for-all has been endorsed at the highest..> READ MORE

German health minister admits vaccine injury is 1 per 10,000 doses

On March 12, 2023, German Health Minister, Prof. Dr. Karl Lauterbach went on a German news  and admitted that COVID-19 vaccine injury is occuring at a rate of 1 per 10,000 doses, with no way of helping the injured.  With 2 doses per vaccine that equates to 1 in every 5000 people. [1, 2] "We need to get faster at recognising the vaccine injuries, ane we're slowly gaining a clear understanding of the situation. ...according to the latest research data, severe vaccine injuries are very rare. The incidence is less than one per 10,000 vaccinations. So it's not like the injury is common."! It is reported that "more than 300,000 cases of vaccine side effects have accumulated in the Ministry’s own system, and more and more people are lodging compensation claims against the stat" Pfizer's public documents define "rare" side effects as 1 in 10,000 to as few as 1 in 1,000 doses.

Florida mRNA “Health Alert” – life-threatening conditions increased >4,400%

On February 15, 2023 the Florida Dept. of Health released a "Health Alert" to notify the "health care sector and public" of "a substantial increase in Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) reports from Florida after the COVID-19 vaccine rollout" of which reports of "life-threatening conditions increased over 4,400%". [1] This unprecedented, "novel increase" prompted the Surgeon General to write a letter to the FDA and CDC informing them of the need for "unbiased research", and requested  the "agencies promote transparency in health care professionals to accurately communicate the risks these vaccines pose." The report noted Florida's findings are "consistent" with emerging scientific publications that are uncovering such life-threatening and debilitating adverse event risks.  He included a recent study which showed "excess risk of serious adverse events" associated with mRNA COVID-19 vaccines included "coagulation disorders, acute cardiac injuries, Bell’s palsy, and encephalitis. This risk was 1 in 550 individuals, which is much higher than other vaccines." In Oct 2022 Florida recommended young males to refrain from taking the mRNA vaccine due to an 84% increase in cardiac-related deaths in males aged 18-39.

WHO experts: virus will become endemic, its not the “big one”, expect more “threats”, no guarantee vaccine stop infection or transmission

At a WHO coronavirus media briefing on December 28, 2020, several WHO experts spoke [1, 2, 3] Head of the WHO emergencies program Dr Mike Ryan said: “The likely scenario is the virus will become another endemic virus that will remain somewhat of a threat, but a very low-level threat in the context of an effective global vaccination program... Dr Ryan warned the pandemic "is not necessarily the big one", the next may be more severe. "This is a wake-up call...We live in an increasingly complex global society. These threats will continue." WHO chief scientist Dr Soumya Swaminathan said: ...we continue to wait for more results from the vaccine trials, is to really understand if these vaccines, apart from preventing symptomatic disease and severe disease and deaths, whetherthey’re also going to reduce infections, or prevent people from getting infected with the virus, prevent them from passing it on or transmitting it to other people. At the moment, I don’t believe we have the evidence on any of the vaccines to be confident that it’s going to prevent people from actually getting the infection and therefore being able to pass it on.

G7 health ministers conduct ‘Leopard Pox’ simulation

The German Health Minister Karl Lauterbach (SPD) hosted the meeting of the health ministers of the G7 countries on May 19 to 20, 2022, in Berlin. The ministers agreed a pact for pandemic readiness that will focus on collaborative surveillance and a predictable rapid response to be better prepared in the future. They also pledged to increase their mandatory contributions to the World Health Organization by 50% by 2030-2031. [1] The scenario submitted to the ministers of health predicted the spread of a dangerous smallpox virus quickly transmitted by a human after being bitten by a leopard. The details were disclosed by Bild on the basis of the documents they analyzed. The fake disease is called ‘Leopard Pox’. [2, 3]

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..."
