Bill Gates calls for “digital certificate” to identify vaccination status
On March 18, 2020 on an “ask me anything” Reddit chat, Bill Gates’ states the intended introduction of digital certificates for tracking COVID-19 vaccination status, a suggestion that hits the 666 “mark of the beast” backlash. [1]
“Eventually we will have some digital certificates to show who has recovered or been tested recently or when we have a vaccine who has received it.” states Bill Gates
Three months prior, on December 18, 2019 Gates sponsored quantum dot tattoo technology was published – with the intent of tracking vaccination status, plus his involvement in ID2020.
FEMA becomes Lead Federal Agency in charge of US COVID-19 response, not HHS!
According to retrospective research, starting on March 18, 2020, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) replaced Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) (which comprises the CDC, NIAID, NIH and other public-health-related agencies ) as the Lead Federal Agency, officially in charge of the US government’s COVID-19 response, where the National Security Council (NSC) is in charge of policy.
This is contrary to established Pandemic Plans which placed HHS at the helm, and FEMA would normally handle earthquakes and finre, and not be involved in a public health incident, to which they had not advanced notice and were not prepared. FEMA stated in their Jan 2021 report: “When the White House directed FEMA to lead operations, COVID-19 became the first national pandemic response that FEMA has led since the agency was established in 1979.”
Symptoms of COVID-19 infection
Coronaviruses typically causes the “common cold” or other mild respiratory viral illnesses, and historically are highly infectious and mutate regularly. SARS-CoV-2 has features different to normal coronaviruses and symptoms which may appear 2 to 14 days after exposure.
The disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus is called COVID-19, which can manifest in a wide range of symptoms from nothing through a broad range of flu-like issues. Four out of 5 had no symptoms, and about 1% of the population are susceptible to escalated symptoms, generally those predisposed with a weakened immune system. [1]
As most people have no to mild symptoms (meaning their immune system is healthy), the world adopted a test (PCR) to determine if they were statistically “sick”. something never done before in history, especially using a test that is not “fit for purpose”.
US doctors were/are advise by the NIH protocol to do nothing until their patients symptoms have escalated to the point they require hospitalisation, something unprecedented in the any disease action. Independent doctors didn’t heed this advice. WHO recommendation on home care and treatment guidelines. The WHO interim guidance document for management of COVID-19 was released 28 May 2020 ( stating no early HCQ or corticosteroid treatments) and was in place until 25 January 2021.
Vaccines are already in development, and at this point the objective is to stop human to human transmission. By April 2020 it is known that 80% of people “infected with COVID-19” will experience mild symptoms, strange as they should be infected with SARS-CoV-2.
Australia declares a Biosecurity Emergency
On 18th March 2020, The Australian Governor-General declared that a human biosecurity emergency exists on the grounds of a threat to public health.
The federal government is restricting travel for the purpose of “limiting the spread of the virus,” Prime Minister Scott Morrison said. Australian’s can’t exit the country and any people coming into the country are required to adhere to quarantine directions.
The Biosecurity Act 2015, when declared, “gives the Minister for Health expansive powers to issue directions and set requirements in order to combat the outbreak”, effectively “run the country“.
“This is the first time these powers under the Biosecurity Act have been used.”
The emergency has repeatedly been extended on the advice of the Minister for Health and Aged Care for 3 month periods.
In-country aspects of the pandemic control measures, including border control, has been hand-balled to the States. Each state has thus coordinated by enacted their own State of Emergency.
“This is a once-in-100 year type event, we haven’t seen this sort of thing in Australia since the end of the first World War, but together we are of course up to this challenge,” states PM Scott Morrison
WHO launch their SOLIDARITY clinical trial initiative for therapeutics
On March 18, 2020 the WHO launch their SOLIDARITY initiative, a multi-arm, multi-country coordinated clinical trial effort for potential coronavirus therapies “to help find an effective treatment for COVID-19”. It is one of the largest international randomised trials for COVID-19 treatments, enrolling almost 12,000 patients in 500 hospital sites in over 30 countries.” [4, 5]
Global Randomised controlled clinical trials focused on hospitalised patients NOT those in an early outpatient setting which was the focus of frontline doctors who were successful in keeping their patients out of hospital.
The success that front line doctors are having [1, 2, 3] is NOT being explored by health authorities in their official trials.
Germany begins to power down, following RKI risk assessment
On March 17, 2020 the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), Germany’s equivalent to the CDC, raised its risk assessment for COVID-19 from “moderate” to “high” overnight and warned the pandemic could last 2 years! Five days later, on March 22, 2020 Germany began to restrict contact and lockdown. [4]
On March 18, 2020 Chancellor Angela Merkel addressed the nation and announce the country would be “powering down”.
As far as the epidemic is concerned – and everything I tell you about this comes from the Federal Government’s ongoing consultations with the experts from the Robert Koch Institute and other scientists and virologists: the most intensive research is being conducted around the world, but there is still neither a way to treat the coronavirus, nor is there a vaccine…
As long as this is the case – and this is what is guiding all of our actions – then only one thing matters, namely that we slow the spread of the virus, flatten the curve over the course of several months and buy time.”..
So, our aim is to slow the virus down as it makes its way through Germany. And we must, and this is absolutely vital, focus our attention on one thing above all else, namely powering down public life as far as possible…
Virologists are giving us clear advice: no more handshakes, we must wash our hands thoroughly and often, and we must keep at least one and a half metre’s distance between ourselves and others…
This is a historic task, and it can only be mastered if we face it together..
It won’t be until March 2024, after FOIA-like court order, that RKI documents reveal there was no scientific basis for the RKI’s risk assessment change, nor the unprecedented imposed the COVID-19 measures said to be base on “science”. [1, 2, 3]
US: Navy hospital ships sent to “hot spots”
On March 18, 2020 President Trump announced that two Navy hospital ships would be sent to east and west coast coronavirus “hot spots” to “help alleviate non-COVID-19 medical needs”. The USNS Comfort (T-AH-20) docked in New York City Harbor and USNS Mercy (T-AH-19) to provide West Coast support docked in Los Angeles.[1, 2, 3] They were dipatched on March 28, 2020 to NY.
The ships were barely used, yet UCU’s in some NY hospitals were over ran. By April 2, 2020, NY Times stated “A tangle of military protocols and bureaucratic hurdles has prevented the Comfort from accepting many patients at all”. By April 21, 2020 NY Govenor said they were no longer needed“. [4, 5]
US legislation for “free COVID-19 testing”
On March 18, 2020 that the US Congress passed the second supplemental law Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) ,H.R. 6201, which required public and private insurers to provide free testing for the SARS-CoV-2 infection. [1, 2, 3, 5]
“This bill responds to the COVID-19 (i.e., coronavirus disease 2019) outbreak by providing paid sick leave, tax credits, and free COVID-19 testing; expanding food assistance and unemployment benefits; and increasing Medicaid funding.” [4]
The $104 billion bill included provision requiring private health insurance plans and Medicare to cover COVID-19 testing and other employment related costs, and small businesses, state and local governments for budget relief. All following the March 13, 2020 National Emergency Declaration.

FDA announces pursuit of drug treatments for COVID-19
On March 19, 2020 the FDA announced they will “Continues to Facilitate Development of Treatments” for COVID-19.
As directed by President Trump the FDA will “continue its work with the public and private sector to ensure the availability of potentially safe and effective life-saving drugs.”
“The FDA has been working closely with other government agencies and academic centers that are investigating the use of the drug chloroquine, which is already approved” for other conditions “to determine whether it can be used to treat patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 to potentially reduce the duration of symptoms…[and] … help prevent the spread of disease. Studies are underway to determine the efficacy in using chloroquine to treat COVID-19.”
“While there are no FDA-approved therapeutics or drugs to treat, cure or prevent COVID-19, there are several FDA-approved treatments that may help ease the symptoms from a supportive care perspective.”
There is no specific mention of out-patient early treatment studies – the focus was on hospitalised patients.
UK downgrades COVID-19 disease status
On January 10, 2020, “Wuhan novel coronavirus WN-CoV” (COVID-19) was assessed by Public Health England (PHE) to be a high consequence infectious disease (HCID), at the time monkeypox, was also on the list. But then on March 19, 2020 they downgraded COVID-19 to no longer being considered a HCID in the UK. They determined that since January 2020, several features have now changed; in particular, more information is available about mortality rates (overall low), greater clinical awareness and laboratory test being available. [1, 2]
This downgrade came just days after Neil Ferguson releases his “Imperial Model” predicting half a million deaths in the UK – a high mortality, contrary to PHE! Diseases on the HCID list include SARS & MERS.
“Was the quickest way for the government to take control of the coronavirus narrative to have PHE declassify SARS-CoV-2 from its HCID category? …Was PHE in more control of advising on the pandemic and matters such as PPE while the bug remained classified a HCID?”
Australia classifies COVID-19 as a “quarantinable disease”.
Key Statements from Australia’s CMO
Australia’s Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Professor Paul Kelly addresses Australia just after Biosecuity Emergency announcement, to make some key remarks, which were repeated often throughout the coming months.
Curiously he opened with the slipped comment “COVID epidemic, or pandemic”.
He provided 5 practical steps to help stay safe:
- Wash hands
- Cough into elbow
- Don’t touch your face
- Socially distance 1.5m when possible
- Stay home if you feel sick
other key statements:
- “very fearful moment for Australians”.
- “We’re all in this together”
- “We are not closing schools”
- The goal is “to flatten the curve, to save lives through saving beds and taking the pressure off our healthcare system.”
- “…very few kids get the illness. Those that get the illness are mainly mild, they don’t appear to be transmitting between children – in fact, it’s more likely that children will get it from their own parents and other people in their households”
- regarding panic buying: “please do not buy more than you need for anything.”
- “We have a very good system of knowing about medicine shortages in Australia”
- “about 80 per cent of patients have a mild illness and in children it’s almost all children have a mild illness.”
- “every person that gets this virus will have a different reaction to it.”
- At this stage toilet paper and hand sanitiser supplies in Australia are running short – people were bulk (panic) buying.
- “…the head of the World Health Organization made that statement in recent days about test, test, test and that’s exactly what we’re doing.”
- “We’re still on that trajectory to the best way to decrease this curve of infection is to find people that are sick, isolate them, and identify their contacts, close contacts, and isolate them.” [so “sick” means a positive test]
- further measures “…people coming back from overseas and 14 days quarantine… isolating, decreasing the infection that way”
- “…at the moment we’re really focusing that testing on where we think the most likely positives are.”
- “We [AHPPC] recommended there should be limitations on mass gatherings”
- ” four square metres per person”
- “We deliberately over-ordered flu vaccine this year”
- To date: “We’ve had those six deaths unfortunately, all in older people. We’ve had some people in ICU, but it’s a very small number.”
- “…almost all of our cases still have come from overseas.”
- “…in the meantime, we’re looking to find our cases, get them to stay at home, to find their contacts, get them to stay at home, and to flatten the curve.
President Trump highlights HCQ treatment
Dr Zelenko from New York who was successfully treating patients with hydroxychloroquine (HCQ)+ zinc + azithromycin (AZ) wrote to President Trump. [1, 2]
On March 21, 2020, Trump tweeted that HCQ + AZ as a potential treatment and in response received huge media and “expert” backlash, including from Dr Anthony Fauci. [3]
This is a cheap and readily available drug is commonly promoted for malaria prevention even with it’s know potential side effect profile, and Arthritis Australia don’t even consider heart issues as important enough to list on their fact sheet even though the FDA believes it “could cause severe heart problems”.
At that time only 182 COVID-19 deaths were declared in USA.
Hydroxychloroquine has been “restricted” by Australia’s Therapeutics Goods Administration (TGA) since March 2020 on the basis of supply shortages, even though 32.9 million doses were donated.
State of Emergency Declared in SA
On March 22, 2020, Police Commissioner Grantly Stevens as State Coordinator for the State of South Australia, under the Emergency Management Act (2004), declared a Major Emergency because of “the outbreak of the Human Disease named COVID-19 within South Australia”, a declaration valid for 14 days.
The extension to this Declaration made on April 2, 2020, (and those there after), was declared valid for 28 days as approved by the Governor (see Section 23(2)(b)).
“When the Prime Minister (Scott Morrison) makes recommendations to the states about restriction guidelines relating to COVID-19, each state must then consider how those recommendations will be applied. They are not enforceable in South Australia until the State Coordinator, Commissioner Grant Stevens, enacts a Direction.
The South Australian Directions apply to everyone living in, and entering, South Australia.”
The Governor of South Australia approves the declaration and extensions every 28 days. (Originally Major Emergencies were 48 hours)
By end of 2020 South Australia had 4 deaths attributed to COVID-19, and 575 cases, and remained in a recurring State of Emergency justified by a “threat”.

UK goes into lockdown
On March 23, 2020 the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson made an ‘historic” announcement that the UK would go into a strict lockdown, a “stay-at-home” order in order to “slow the spread” of the virus. People they must “stay at home” and can only leave home for essential reasons such to shop for basic necessities like food, limits exercise to one form a day, restricts travel only to and from essential work. [1, 2, 3]
“Without a huge national effort to halt the growth of this virus, there will come a moment when no health service in the world could possibly cope; because there won’t be enough ventilators, enough intensive care beds, enough doctors and nurses.” said Boris Johnson.
As of this date, the BBC reported that there had been 83,945 tests to date, with 6,650 confirmed cases and 335 deaths attributed to COVID-19.
On March 19, 2020, four days earlier, the UK downgraded COVID-19 as no longer a high consequence infectious disease (HCID), yet MERS and SARS are still on the list!
The Zelenko Protocol announced – Using HCQ
On March 23, 2020 Dr Vladimir (Zev) Zelenko wrote a letter to all medical professionals around the world informing them of his successful treatment protocol for treating hundreds of his patients in his clinic, using known drugs, with known safety profiles. He explained his rationale for their use. Treating patients early was preventing them from needing to go to hospital and easily “flattened the curve”. His protocol included Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ)
“Given the urgency of the situation, I developed the following treatment protocol in the pre-hospital setting and have seen only positive results.” Dr Zev Zelenko wrote.
Zelenko’s early treatments resulted in him having “ZERO deaths, ZERO hospitalizations, and ZERO intubations.” in his patient population, but he struggled to get this message out. Trump tried to tell the world.
At this time (and a long time after) many Doctors working on the frontline successfully treating patients collaborate and continued to find early treatment solutions, but they are being heavily censored.

Immune Boost Protocol – Letter to President Trump
On March 23, 2020 Dr Shiva Ayyadurai who’s PhD studied the modern day immune system, sent a letter to President Trump with an Immune Boost Protocol of a scientifically supported low risk and cost effective solution towards any viral infection – because the body has mechanisms to fight infection.
At this time US doctors were advised by the NIH to do nothing for their patients (except rest and paracetamol) until symptoms escalated, and hospitalisation was required!
On April 5, 2020 the Australian government was notified about boosting the immune system with vitamins C, D and zinc.
Surprising evaluation of COVID-19 deaths in Italy
Italian health authorities find that “only 12 per cent of death certificates” have shown a direct causality from COVID-19, while 88% of patients who have died have at least one pre-morbidity – many had 2 or 3.
Important to note, Italy has the second oldest population in Europe, the cohort that is the most susceptible to complications from SARS-CoV-2 infection if not treated early.
British media watchdog warns against harmful coronavirus-related free-speech!
On March 23, 2020 the Office of Communications (Ofcom) who is the UK government broadcasting regulator, released a warning to broadcasters that “Ofcom will consider any breach arising from harmful Coronavirus-related programming to be potentially serious and will consider taking appropriate regulatory action, which could include the imposition of a statutory sanction.” [1]
In April 2020 it warned against broadcasting 5G-coronavirus conspiracies.
Australia’s TGA bans Hydroxychloroquine use for COVID-19
TGA Secretary, John Skerritt amended the Poisons Standard to restrict hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) on the basis of “creating demand shortages” and to restrict its use because of “risk of significant adverse effects”.
HCQ is a historically safe, now off-patent, cheap medication, which has proven to be an effective tool for early treatment for COVID-19. [1, 2]
Since this time, global clinical trial conducted with HCQ for COVID-19 have used “lethal doses” of HCQ, timed in late stage illness and only in hospitalised patients compared to the timing, dose and combination with zinc, used successfully by frontline doctors globally. Alarmingly, health officials have not replicated the successful treatment protocols using HCQ.
The pursuit of a novel COVID-19 vaccine to solve the COVID-19 “health crisis” could NOT be financially justified or allowed to be provisionally registered in record time, if an already registered product and proven treatment protocol was available.
CDC: “probably” or “suspected” COVID-19 death will be marked COVID-19
On March 25, 2020 [US 24th] the WHO released new ICD-10 codes for COVID-19:
-
- U07.1 for lab confirmed virus
- U07.2 for suspected or probable virus.
The same day, March 24, 2020 for the US, the CDC sent out Alert 2: New ICD code introduced for COVID-19 deaths, a follow-up from their Alert 1 on March 4, 2020. This ICD document coached US doctors on how the ICD-10 code would be used.
If a decedent’s death certificate was marked probably or suspected COVID-19, any uncertainty will automatically be deemed COVID-19 and they stated “it is not likely that NCHS will follow up on these cases”.
Thus the US would not use both international ICD-10 codes, their system would default to only U07.1!
WATCH @56:30, as Dr Jensen comments on this the US Death Certificates, plus the incentivising of hospitals to:
- Influenza pneumonia – $5,000
- COVID-19 pneumonia – $13,000
- Ventilated – $39,000
- [ed patients on remdesivir – 20% bonus on whole hospital bill]
How could this play out:
- Use PCR to test all patients admitted to hospital.
- Labs use PCR cycles amplification up to Ct of 45, thus providing a positive COVID-19 diagnosis
- Patients get treated using NIH protocol, with is remdesivir and ventilate
- Patient has a high chance of dying
- Doctor marks death certificate with confirmed or probable death by COVID-19, either way the system will default to COVID-19
- The hospital is awarded accordingly for COVID-19 treatment
US Department of health sent doctors a 7 page document on to coach doctors on how to fill in a death certificate!
NY Governor orders nursing homes to accept all patients, even COVID-19 positive!
On March 25, 2020 New York Governor Andrew Cuomo ordered nursing homes and other long-term care facilities to accept ALL patients from hospitals even if they test positive for COVID-19 – a “dangerous policy. [1, 2, 7 , 10] The elderly and frail residents are known to have the lowest survival rate from the virus.
“No resident shall be denied re-admission or admission to the NH [nursing home] solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19.” the directive states [13, 18]
The day after the memo went out hospitals immediately started to discharge patients sending them back into care facilities in order to open up beds for what Gov. Andrew m. Cuomo said “will be a surge in thousands more cases in the next few weeks.” Yet at the time NY had temporary hospitals built in New York (the Javits Centre) and the USNS Comfort medi-ship sat empty in the Hudson River – it remained unused! [8, 9]
On April 2, 2020 Gov. Cuomo cried New York had only 2,200 ventilators in stockpile, enough for only 6 days! [15, 16]
On April 2, 2020 Gov. Cuomo “quietly signed [updated] legislation shielding hospital and nursing home executives from any lawsuits stemming from the coronavirus outbreak.” Note in 2018 Cuomo received $1 M “donation” from the General New York Hospital Association (GNYHA)—a powerful NY healthcare industry group, to fund his reelection. Healthcare organizations associated with the GNYHA “profited handsomely” from the influx of COVID-19 patients.[18]
On April 7, 2020 New York State Dept. of Health directed COVID-19-infected patients into adult care facilities (ACFs) and into group homes managed under the NYS Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) as “”No resident shall be denied re-admission or admission”. [18]
Shortly after on April 22, 2020 it was reported that nearly 9 in 10 patients who were placed on ventilators died, especially in patients with hypertension, obesity, and diabetes which were the most common comorbidities. Of the over 65 year age group 97% died if placed on a ventilator. [16]
Ventilator policy was revisited after this report, and possibly on the back of April 1, 2020 New York’s ER doctor Cameron Kyle-Sidell raised the alarm reporting in a viral video that ventilators were not what patients need,
On May 12, 2020 Gov. Cuomo then “unveiled a requirement for hospital patients to test negative for the coronavirus before they can be discharged to nursing homes”, reversing his March directive. This while NY has the highest COVID-19 death toll. [13, 14]
The Department of Health’s “unreasonable” mandate proved to have fatal consequences, nearly half of all COVID-19 deaths in the state occurred in long-term care facilities. [3, 5]
- On May 7, 2020 State by State statistics revealed that Nursing Homes & Assisted Living Facilities accounted for 38%, later revised to 45%, of COVID-19 Deaths, a clear indication that the virus affects this “specific population” harder than other age groups. [18]
- By May 28, 2020 the Dept Health’s directive was deleted from the New York government website following the launch of an investigation by Rep. Elise Stefanik. [4, 6, 11, 12]
- 5 Democrat governors sent COVID-19 patients into nursing homes: Gavin Newsom in California, Andrew Cuomo in New York state, Tom Wolf in Pennsylvania, Phil Murphy in New Jersey, Gretchen Whitmer in Michigan, which in July 2021 the Biden DOJ dropped all the investigation into these governor’s actions. [19]
- January 3, 2022 – the Manhattan DA closed an investigation info former Andrew Cuomo’s handling of Nursing Homes, no charges were brought. [20]
- By April 2023 new stats reveal the pandemic’s first-year toll at 36,337, was up 21% from what the state had admitted.
- Sept 10, 2024 Andrew Cuomo for the first time would testify publicly before Congress regarding his controversial handling of COVID-19 in nursing homes, which killed thousands of vulnerable seniors. [18]
Australia changes death certificate guidelines
On March 25, 2020, the Australian Bureau of Statistics released “Guidance for Certifying Deaths due to COVID-19” for doctors on how to fill in death certificates for COVID-19.
They state COVID-19 “should be recorded on the medical cause of death certificate for ALL decedents where the disease caused or is ASSUMED to have caused, or contributed to death”.[emphasis added]
How will this altered practice affect “death” numbers due to COVID-19 in Australia?
Can we trust UK COVID-19 death statistics? Some doctors just put COVID-19 on all death certificates March onward!
WHO COVID-19 ICD-10 codes released
WHO released new ICD-10 codes for COVID-19 for cause of death surveillance.
- U07.1 COVID-19 – virus identified.
- U07.2 COVID-19 – virus probable or suspected.
FDA promotes International Regulatory Harmonisation
On March 26, 2020 the FDA encouraged International Regulatory Harmonisation “a process where[global] regulatory authorities align technical requirements for the development and marketing of pharmaceutical products….to support early access to medicinal products, promoting competition and efficiency, and reducing unnecessary duplication of clinical testing.” Asking them to implement the ICH Guidelines.
The International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) for the Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use has been around since April 1990, the FDA is a founding member of ICH.
On October 23, 2015 formally became The International Council for Harmonisation establishing ICH as an international association with members, and a legal entity under Swiss law. They are “unique in bringing together the regulatory authorities and pharmaceutical industry to discuss scientific and technical aspects of drug registration…has gradually evolved, to respond to the increasingly global face of drug development, so that the benefits of international harmonisation for better global health can be realised worldwide.”
The TNI announce plans to tackle coronavirus “disinformation”
On March 27, 2020 the the Trusted News Initiative (TNI), an global industry collaboration of major news and tech organisations, which formed in July 2019, announced plans to work “together to rapidly identify and stop the spread of harmful coronavirus disinformation,” using a “shared alert system”. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Historic $2.2 trillion US CARES Act – incentivising COVID-19 diagnosis, hospital protocols and COD
On March 25, 2020 the 116th US Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (H.R. 748) know as the “CARES Act” which was signed into law on March 27, 2020 by President Trump. [1, 2]
This “was by far the most expensive single spending bill ever enacted in American history, at about $2.2 trillion“, with 335 pages of provisions the law provided funding for. With hospitals incentivised with billions if they follow rigid NIH treatment protocols, based on a PCR test, plus CMS waiver of patient rights, created hospital death prisons. [9]
“Prior to the March 25 vote, the bill was the Middle Class Health Benefits Tax Repeal Act of 2019. The text of that bill was enacted as part of H.R. 1865 on Dec. 20, 2019.” [7, 8]
“The CARES Act implemented a variety of programs to address issues related to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic”, including healthcare waivers. [3, 6]
Through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) the Act provided “incentives for hospitals to use treatments dictated solely by the federal government under the auspices of the NIH. These “bounties” must be paid back if not “earned” by making the COVID-19 diagnosis and following the COVID-19 protocol.” [4, 5]
The hospital “incentive” payments included:
- A “free” required PCR test in the Emergency Room or upon admission for every patient, with government-paid fee to hospital
- Added bonus payment for each positive COVID-19 diagnosis [positive PCR test.
- Another bonus for a COVID-19 admission to the hospital.
- A 20% “boost” bonus payment from Medicare on the entire hospital bill for use of remdesivir instead of medicines such as Ivermectin.
- Another and larger bonus payment to the hospital if a COVID-19 patient is mechanically ventilated.
- More money to the hospital if cause of death is listed as COVID-19, even if patient did not die directly of COVID-19
- A COVID-19 diagnosis also provides extra payments to coroners.”

- March 6, 2020 – Phase 1: the Coronavirus Preparedness, and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2020 – $8.6 billion – HERE
- March 18, 2020 – Phase 2: Families First Coronavirus Response Act (the FFCRA) – $104 billion – HERE

SA Direction: Aged Care Facilities
Five days previous South Australia declared a state of emergency because of a disease “outbreak” called COVID-19, and today the state coordinator handed down a Direction for Aged Care Facilities, of, amongst other things, a mandatory seasonal Influenza vaccine (that is only 10-60% effective) to be required by everyone before entering an Aged Care facility. Even it it is to visit a loved one.
WHO claim as “fact” COVID-19 is NOT airborne – stay 1 metre apart
On March 28, 2020 the World Health Organisation claimed as “FACT” that the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 is NOT airborne but “is mainly transmitted through droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes or speaks.” [1]
“These droplets are too heavy to hand in the air. They quickly fall on the floors or surfaces. You can be infected by breathing in the virus if you are within 1 metre of a person who has COVID-19, or by touching a contaminated surface and then touching your eyes, nose or mouth before washing your hands.” [2]
