World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is established
By 2009 WIPO formed a trilateral cooperation with the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the World Trade Organisation (WTO), to help combat the Global Health problem due to “climate change” and, among other things, facilitate access to Medical Technologies Worldwide. In June 2021 that cooperation was “intensified” to “support of access to medical technologies worldwide to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic”. [3]
Then on May 24, 2024 WIPO Member States adopted a “Historic New Treaty on Intellectual Property, Genetic Resources and Associated Traditional Knowledge”, an international legal instrument. [4, 5]The Club of Rome begins
In 1968 The Club of Rome begins at a 2 day meeting in Rome, Italy on the topic of “The Predicament of Mankind” – the catalyst to technocratic globalisation.
Oil tycoon/ “environmentalist” Maurice Strong is a member of the Club of Rome… he is the founder of the UN “Environmental” movement! [1, 2]
MORE INFO TO COME in the mean time WATCH
Insider Doctor revealed how the world really worked!
On March 20, 1969 [or 1968?] a meeting of paediatricians and students took place at the Pittsburgh Pediatric Society. At a dinner after the meeting Dr Richard Day an eminent professor and physician, and Medical Director of ‘Planned Parenthood’, asked that “close group of colleagues” to not take notes or record what he was about to tell them.
Dr Lawrence Dunegan was part of that meeting, and years later, in 1988 he recounted what was revealed at that meeting about how the world really worked! The reason why Dr Day could share what he did was because, “everything is in place and nobody can stop us now.” [1]
World Bank President makes 3rd World loans contingent upon sterilization quotas
On April 1, 1968 Robert S. McNamara takes up the role of the 5th President of the World Bank Group, having resigned as Secretary of Defense under President Kennedy and then President Johnson. McNamara was a “staunch believer in population control” and in his lead “position he was able to dictate a new policy, making World Bank loans to Third World countries contingent upon their governments’ submission to population control, with yearly sterilization quotas set by World Bank experts. Cash-short and heavily in debt, many poor nations found this pressure very difficult to withstand.”[1, 2]
The World Health Organisation, the World Bank, IMF, USAID and BMGF work hand in glove “aiding” developing nations which has morphed into “aiding” everyone.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (World Bank) were formed on December 27, 1945 following WWII, as permanent institutions, unlike the US “Marshall Plan” (a precursor to USAID) which “was specific: To stabilize Europe, not as a permanent program for European recovery but as an emergency tool of assistance”. [3]
International Treaty Law established
The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties was established and today regarded as an important instrument in international treaty law. [1]
Australia, as a member state of the WHO, we are bound by international law to IHR (2005) – which took effect the moment COVID-19 pandemic was declared.
President Nixon stops US biological weapons program centered at Fort Detrick
On November 25, 1969 in a speech, President Richard Nixon announced the end of the U.S. offensive biological warfare/weapons program which was developing deadly biological weapons. [1, 2, 3]
Since 1943 Camp Detrick was the home of biological warfare research, in 1956 it became Fort Detrick “with a mandate of continuing biological research and remaining the world’s leading research campus for biological agents that require special containment.” Following Nov 25, 1969 Nixon announcement, “Research at Fort Detrick became focused solely on defensive measures – public health considerations, diagnostics, preventive measures, and treatments for biological warfare infections.” It was stated at the time the “only defense that we have at present in this country against an enemy’s biological attach is purely a medical matter.. ”
Developments from 1971 allowed the US Army and HHS to work side by side on the campus, broadening into cancer research and becoming the “center of scientific excellence in the area of public health“. [4, 5, 6]
- Since the beginning Fort Detrick has been the home of anthrax research [5]. Between 1951-55 an anthrax vaccine was developed, and in 1960 first outbreak of anthrax in the 20th Century occurred. Since the 1950s research staff have been given anthrax vaccines, and military since 1998 [maybe before]
- On June 11, 20o1 the DOD announced the “slow down” of anthrax vaccinations due to inadequate supplies of the vaccine, which happened to ramp up again following the anthrax letter’s incident one week after 9/11, the anthrax source eventurally traced back to Fort Detrick! [8, 9]
- “Operation Whitecoat” experiments at Fort Detirck, ran on army volunteers was reported early Nov 1969 by Richard Lebherz
- In 1987 a Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) was established between the FDA and DOD which had provided “certain exemptions, relieving the DOD from the need to meet the ordinary requirements of the Investigation New Drug (IND)…” for its Special Immunizations Program (SIP) and use of investigational vaccines, ended. SIP then “underwent marked change”. [7]
- In 2003 the non-profit Fort Detrick Alliance, Inc. was founded to facilitate the communications between federal agencies (DOD, USDA, DHHS, VA) and the public both local and globally – in “partnership”.
This led to the 1972 United Nations the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC), which was signed and went into force in 1975.
Gene-splicing technique discovered, leading to recombinant DNA
In 1971 US biochemist Paul Berg founded the gene-splicing technique which opened the door to the invention of recombinant-DNA technology, for which he shared the 1980 Nobel Prize. [1] In 1975 he organised the Asilomar Conference on Recombinant DNA, to put safeguards in place as making hazardous microorganisms now became possible.
Berg’s experiment involved splicing a bit of the DNA of the bacterial virus (bacteriophage) known as lambda into the vector, the DNA of simian virus 40 (SV40), of which the DNA of both these viruses occur in closed loops. Berg’s gene-splicing experiment resulted in the first man-made recombinant DNA (rDNA), as such molecules came to be called. SV40 promoters have been found to contaminate the vials of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.
In 1975 Berg organised the Asilomar Conference on Recombinant DNA ( rDNA), to put safeguards in place as making hazardous microorganisms now became possible, the guidelines were adopted but have “have gradually been diluted and disregarded.” [1]
Wildlife Trust is founded. Predecessor to EcoHealth Alliance
The non-profit, international conservation organisation called Wildlife Trust is founded in 1971 by British naturalist, author and television personality Gerald M. Durrell. It purpose is to empower conservation scientists that are “dedicated to protecting wildlife and safeguarding human and animal health.”
In a press release dated September 21, 2010, the Wildlife Trust rebrands itself as EcoHealth Alliance.
“The new branding puts health and medicine center stage with wildlife conservation taking a back seat.”
EcoHealth Alliance pioneered Conservation Medicine and their mission is to address the link between “wildlife, livestock, human health and survival”. Their work includes research into emerging infectious diseases. [3]
They are positioning themselves to be on “the forefront of informing the public, businesses, and the scientific community about emerging diseases, including potential pandemics.” [1]
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has been working with “EcoHealth Alliance” since 2009 to institute a new global emerging pandemic threat program called PREDICT (to research emerging diseases among high-risk wildlife and in high-risk countries) based on EcoHealth Alliance’s disease-outbreak hotspots map. [2]
The World Economic Forum begins
The World Economic Forum (WEF), initially called European Management Forum, is an international Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) was allegedly founded by German born, Klaus Schwab, in January 24, 1971, but we learn Schwab was recruited by “CIA-funded Harvard program” headed by Henry Kissinger, and is not actually a European creation. The Schwab and his family has historic ties to Nazi collaboration, use of slave labor, development of nuclear technology and eugenics-influenced population control. [10]
Every year the WEF hosts “Davos” a bringing together some 3,000 business leaders, international political leaders, economists, celebrities and journalists for up to five days to discuss global issues who follow the Davos Manifesto [1973, 2020] business code.
The WEF began the Young Global Leaders program in 1992, grooming and penetrating governments around the world with their acolytes. [8, 9]
Klaus Schwab is the front man of post pandemic Great Reset [4, 5] and in 2020 he released his book of the same name and coined the phrase “Build Back Better” which is echoed by global leaders. [1, 2, 3] The WEF also promote that by 2030 we will “own nothing” but be happy. [7]
Klaus Schwab openly states he has worked on Climate Change since 1973!

UN Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention – Prohibiting development, production and stockpiling
Initiated by US President Nixon, following his move to shut down the US “offensive” biological weapons program, the United Nations General Assembly on December 16, 1971 agreed to prohibit the development, production, acquisition, transfer, stockpiling and use of bacteriological (biological) and toxin weapons. [1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9]
The United Nations Organisation for the Prohibition of Biological Weapons (OPBW) Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons and on Their Destruction, commonly known as the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC), was simultaneously opened for signatures in Moscow, Washington and London on April 10, 1972 and entered into force on March 26, 1975. [6] [not virus research?]
The actual use of biological weapons was prohibited by the 1925 Geneva Protocol, the first security convention.
It was initiated by US President Nixon, and followed the United Nations General Assembly on December 16, 1971. The purpose to prohibit the the development, production, acquisition, transfer, stockpiling and use of (bacteriological) biological and toxin weapons. [1, 2, 3, 4, 8]
As of December 2003, there were 151 UN Member States who had signed the 1972 Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention. An additional 16 countries had signed but at the time not ratified the agreement. In an August 2005 US State Department report which examined the compliance with the “obligations assumed under the BWC” for China, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Russia (and the former Soviet Union) and Syria.
They determined that “communist China maintained an offensive biological weapons program in violation of its treaty commitments and that it was run in part by an arm of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Academy of Military Medical Sciences (AMMS). That report specifically cited the AMMS’ Fifth Institute as the epicenter of the country’s bioweapons program.” [5]
UN Stockholm Conference 1972
From June 5-16, 1972 the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment [7] was held in Stockholm, Sweden headed by Maurice Strong, who at the time was a Rockefeller Foundation trustee. The conference is “hailed as a landmark moment in the history of the modern environmental movement.” [1] The first UN conference with “environment” in the title.
At this conference the resolution was passed to for the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) which would lead progressively to Agenda 21 and become the driving body for Sustainable Development . [2, 3]
UN Environment Program (UNEP) is formed
From June 5-16, 1972 the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment [3] was held in Stockholm, Sweden headed by Maurice Strong, who at the time was a Rockefeller Foundation trustee. The conference is “hailed as a landmark moment in the history of the modern environmental movement.” One of the major resolutions of this conference was for the creation of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) [9] and the adoption of an action plan – EarthWatch. [1, 2, 6, 7].
“In the light of the results of the Stockholm Conference, the United Nations General Assembly decided to establish UNEP to “serve as a focal point for environmental action and co-ordination within the United Nations system” (General Assently resolution 2997(XXVII) of 15 December 1972)”, a “global enviromnental organization at Government level.” [8]
The early mission of UNEP is to” provide leadership and encourage partnerships in caring for the environment by inspiring, informing and enabling nations and people to improve their quality of life without compromising that of future generations.” …”One of the most important functions of UNEP is the promotion of environmental science and information.” to generate reports and “created world-wide awareness on emerging environmental problems”.
It is said that former UN official Maurice Strong [4, 5], “established the political vehicle the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and the scientific vehicle, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)” to help “cause the demise of industrialized nations”… “He brought them together at the Earth Summit in Rio in 1992.”!
The Trilateral Commission is formed
The Trilateral Commission (TLC) was formed in 1973 by the American banker David Rockefeller [10] and co-founder Zbigniew Brzezinski. It is a commission that is dominated by corporate interests and is privately funded. Membership is by invitation only of “private citizens of Europe, Japan and North America to help think through the common challenges and leadership responsibilities of the these democratic industrialised areas in the wider world”. Membership “ceilings were imposed in about 1980″ [1, 2]
In 1974 committee member Richard Gardner wrote an article for the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) Foreign Affairs magazine called “The Hard Road to World Order”, predicting the future of the commissions self-proclaimed “New International Economic Order“. [6, 7, 8, 9]
On the 25th anniversary in 1998, Henry Kissenger acknowledged David’s role in the Trilateral Commission and made the statement that “the first global history of mankind is about to start. A new window is opening. The challenge is clear.”
“The Trilateral Commission’s utopian “New International Economic Order” is Technocracy, and China was the first modern experiment and transformation.” [4, 5]
- By 2015 there are around 390 members with now other countries involved. Up until Obama & Biden the TLC have had member in the top executive since Carter, if not also in the administration.
- In 2020 it is known “the Commission is informing debate and is seeking to influence and steer national administrations” to adopt global objective, but under what authority?
- Australia’s John Hewson is on the TLC 2016 executive committee.
- “the Trilateral Commission …were almost solely responsible for China’s ascendent rise as a world power” starting 1979

London: DTP vaccine “causally” linked to brain damage in children
On October 26, 1973 Dr John Wilson, paediatric neurologist was “among 50 professors, consultants and other specialists, listening to research and discussion papers about children’s convulsive disorders” at the Royal Society of Medicine conference in London. The topic of Wilson’s contribution was Neurological complications of pertussis inoculation, given as a triple vaccine, or DTP. [1]
Wilso stated:
“The clustering of complications in the first 24 hours after [DTP] inoculation suggests a causal rather than a coincidental relation.” …“Between January 1961 and December 1972 approximately 50 children have been seen at the Hospital for Sick Children, London, because of neurological illness thought to be due to DTP inoculation,” Wilson presented
“He was by no means the first doctor, or even the most prominent, to suggest a link between the vaccine and brain damage. But few in the lecture theatre’s steeply-ranked pews missed the dynamite in his presentation,” reports journalist Brian Deer (Dr Andrew Wakefield‘s adversary) in 1998.
Three months after the conference in January 1974, J. Wilson et al published their paper in the British Medical Association’s Archives of Disease in Childhood, Volume 49 [2] Deer quotes it as becoming “an instant classic” and “often quoted a quarter of a century later as it was when it first appeared”
This paper and others [1953] “urge” a prospective study Precaustion has been suggested in 1953, and again now in 1974, and possibly in between.
Deer writes the “national furore…was the prototype for modern health scares.” Following an 1974 ITV broadcast featuring Wilson British DTP vaccination rates went from 80% to 31% by 1978, he reported “cases of whooping cough sored”. In 1978 a government vaccine compenstation was established.
The paper also stated:
“Finally, we urge the systematic reporting of reactions to all forms of inoculation to the Committee on Safety of Medicines, since we understand that few, if any, reactions from DTP inoculation are notified to the Committee.
“After a frightening television broadcast in the United States in April 1982, American vaccine makers were hit with lawsuit claims worth $10 billion. Wilson’s paper was repeatedly cited” according to Deer.
It was because of the DTP vaccine that the US 1986 Act was established. In 2011 a Harvard study concluded that only 1% of vaccine adverse reactions are reported into VAERS, and in 2023 not much has changed.
Recombinant DNA technique, creates first GMO and births the biotechnology industry
In November 1973 US scientists Stanley Cohen and Herbert Boyer et al published their findings on how they created the first GMO. [1] Their technique formed the basis of recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology. [2, 3]
Boyer’s EcoRI restriction endonuclease “scissor” enzyme “would allow Cohen to introduce specific DNA segments to plasmids, and use those plasmids as a vehicle for cloning precise, previously targeted strands of DNA. [7] They were able to cut open a plasmid loop from one species of bacteria, insert a gene from another, and close the plasmid loop. Then insert that plasmid into bacteria and demonstrated that the recombined DNA could be used by the bacterial.
They created the first genetically modified organism (GMO) and so the biotechnology industry was born.
The research was considered risky and a moratorium was widely observed until the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) developed and issued formal guidelines for rDNA work. [4]
On December 2, 1980, six years after their 1974 application their patent #4237224 was granted for the “Process for producing biologically functional molecular chimeras”. [5]
In October 1982 Eli Lilly received FDA apporval for the first GM drug product – ‘human’ insulin. The same technique that allowed mRNA “vaccine” products to be mass produced for billions of doses – Process 2.
WHO establishes the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) on the back of smallpox
The WHO establishes the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) in May 23, 1974 through a World Health Assembly resolution (WHA27.57) to build on the success of the global smallpox eradication programme, and “to ensure that all children in all countries benefited from life-saving vaccines” It aimed was to control six major childhood diseases through immunization: diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, measles and Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) a vaccine against tuberculosis. [1, 2, 3, 4]
“Following the impressive success of the smallpox eradication programme, the World Health Organization looked for other activities that could build on what had already been achieved. … “Expanded” because most programmes until then had only used smallpox, BCG and diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (DTP) vaccines.” EPI included two new diseases namely poliomyelitis and measles.
The vaccine “selection was “made on the basis of a high burden of disease and the availability of a well-tried vaccines at an affordable price. “Expanded” also meant increased coverage – incredibly, less than 5% of children in developing countries were being reached at that time by immunization services.”
The EPI program was looking to end in 1977 due to lack of funding, but got a boost when UNICEF stepped in! The programme developed training materials and disseminated them widely. The push for universal childhood immunization in the 1980s meant “almost every country in the world adopted the principle of a national immunization programme.” Each decade the WHO pushes an new Immunization Agenda. [5]
“EPI has marked several key milestones over the years, including the [declaring the] eradication of smallpox in 1980, which stands as a monumental triumph in the history of immunization.” They’re still working on polio etc.
UN World Population Conference
The United Nations World Population Conference (WPC) was held August 19-30 1974 in Bucharest, Romania, at a time when “population explosion” in Least Developed Countries (LDC) was a concern for “world peace”! The World Population Plan of Action Plan was adopted at Bucharest and “facilitated international co-operation to help bring population issues to the forefront” it “served as a guide to action in the field of population for Governments, for international organizations and for non-governmental organizations”. [1, 2, 3]
- The first population meeting was held in 1954 in Rome, and second in 1965 in Belgrad
- In 1974 to global population reached 4 billion
- The UN convened two more conferences on population (Mexico City, 1984; ICPD, 1994) which reaffirmed the World Population Plan of Action
- World population reach one billion in 1804. It took 123 years to reach 2 billion in 1927, 33 years to reach 3 billion in 1960, 14 years to reach 4 billion in 1974 and 13 years to reach 5 billion in 1987, 12 years to reach 6 billion in 1999, 12 years to reach 7 billion in 2011, 11 years to reach 8 billion in 2022
- The same year The Kissenger Report is released
US NSC “The Kissenger Report” – Keep global population under 8 billion
The National Security Study Memorandum (NSSM 200): Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests (The Kissenger Report) was a top-secret document [4] completed by the United States National Security Council (NSC) and released as classified on December 10, 1974, (and declassified ~1989?). This US policy document, named after the document architect Henry Kissenger, was the World Population Plan of Action to keep global population under 8 billion humans. [1, 2]
The Kissenger report research funding plan included the areas of: fertility, biomedical, field testing technologies, developing new technology, oral contraceptives, IUDs, Sterilisation, fertility control, injectable contraceptives for women, male contraceptives and much in the name of “family planning” health services. They propose to utilise “traditional medical practitioners,” to help get to their goal (think mass vaccination?), and mandatory population control measures may be needed, also in relation to food. [2]
NSSM 200 was reworked and adopted as official United States policy through the US National Security Decision Memorandum (NSDM) 314 by President Gerald Ford on November 26, 1975. [3] Statements within MSDM 314 include: “[a]n examination should be undertaken of the effectiveness of population control programs in countries at all levels of development, but with emphasis on [least developed countries] LDC’s” and “reductions in fertility are most needed for economic and social progress” and “[l]eaders of key developing countries should be encouraged to support national and international population assistance programs“.
- Note: Henry Kissenger was a key mentor of Klaus Schwab, the man who in January 1971 started the NGO which would become the World Economic Forum, which was actually a “CIA-funded Harvard program”. [5]
- If US policy is still in place to keep the global human population under 8 billion and 2020 it had reached 7.84 billion, is it a coincidence that the COVID-19 pandemic interventions have coincided with unprecedented global excess mortality? [2]
In 2009 Bill Gates wanted to cap this number at 8.3 billion, the next year in a Ted Talk he proposed if “we do a really good job on new vaccines, health care and reproductive health services” then we can control population growth.
Whether the “official population control/depopulation policy items influenced COVIDcrisis public health policy” can not be confirmed as yet, but, as Dr Malone writes, “one must recognize and acknowledge the amazing parallels between preceding population policy and many of the “public health” policies and actions which were implemented in USA and most western countries (particularly the “five eyes” nations)” of Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and UK with the US. – READ
Asilomar Conference on Recombinant DNA – setting research guidelines
On February 24-27, 1975 the International Congress on Recombinant DNA Molecules was held in Asilomar, California – Known as Asilomar Conference on Recombinant DNA. The conference was organised by Paul Berg, who in 1971 founded gene-splicing technique, and in 2008 he wrote that “the meeting set standards allowing geneticists to push research to its limits without endangering public health.” [1]
1975 was “when the technology was being developed, some scientists became concerned that it might be possible to create hazardous microorganisms using recombinant DNA techniques. The scientists themselves called for an investigation of the safety of the technique. Molecular biologists from around the world, including two from Australia, met for this purpose at Asilomar in California in 1975. The outcome of the Asilomar meeting was that scientists decided to continue recombinant DNA research using precautions to contain any possible hazards.” [2]
Dr Malone writes “As they considered this new technology, they foresaw both great opportunity to advance knowledge and medicine, and great risk to cause catastrophic damage to both humanity and the biosphere.” In the 80’s the “guidance which emerged from the Asilomar Conference on Recombinant DNA were treated with reverence and respect”, but over time “the structures created to oversee and enforce scientific compliance with the guidance have gradually been diluted and disregarded….now “virtually anything goes, and better to seek forgiveness than permission to proceed with whatever genetic engineering whim might strike ambitious and entitled self-anointed elite biotechnologists…”
SARS-CoV-2 is a product of recombinant DNA technology!
International Ban on Biological Warfare – Biological Weapons Convention
At a United Nations Biological Weapons Convention, which was signed in 1972, went into force on March 26, 1975. Governments from around the world agreed to ban biological warfare, prohibiting their development, production, acquisition, transfer, stockpiling and use. [1] This follows the 1925 Geneva Protocol which first banned the use of biological weapons, but countries were still able to develop and stockpile them. [2]
By definition: “Biological weapons disseminate disease-causing organisms or toxins to harm or kill humans, animals or plants. They generally consist of two parts – a weaponised agent [spike protein] and a delivery mechanism [virus or vaccine].”
Curious: “Anyone who suggested bio-weapon in the beginning [of COVID-19 pandemic] were censored”…yet it is the perfect binary weapon” Dr Lee Merrit discusses. Is the spike protein a bio-weapon?
By 2023 the UN’s WHO are trying to use a Pandemic Treaty to get nations to ignore the BWC.
UN International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
On this day the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, a UN treaty, entered into force. [1]
“In accordance with the principles proclaimed in the Charter of the United Nations, recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world.”
UN Habitat I Conference – Private land ownership is not sustainable!
From May 31 to June 11, 1976 in Vancouver, Canada, the United Nations held the first “Habitat” [Habitat I] conference where the Vancouver Declaration on Human Settlements was signed. The United Nations began to recognize “the magnitude and consequences of rapid urbanization“. This marks one of the earliest meetings defining the “sustainability” of the looming UN aganda.
Habitat I “provided the foundations for the birth, in 1978, of the United Nations Human Settlements Program or UN-Habitat” which “now promotes socially and environmentally sustainable towns and cities“. [2, 5] Think “15 minute cities”. [3, 4]
This conference forms the roots of Agenda 21 & Sustainable Development Goals, where they identified private land ownership as a threat to equity on the planet. [1]
The agreement stated that “land cannot be treated as an ordinary asset controlled by individuals” and that private land ownership is “a principal instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth, therefore contributes to social injustice.”… “Public control of land use is therefore indispensable,” the U.N. declaration said, a prelude to the World Economic Forum’s now infamous 2017 “prediction” that by 2030, “you’ll own nothing and be happy.” [6]
Seems since 1990 “ownership” or property rights have been an illusion in the US – unbeknownst to the public.
Swine Flu mass-vax program suspended after high numbers of Guillain-Barré Syndrome and 53 dead
On February 3, 1976, the New Jersey State Health Department sent the Center for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta isolates of virus from recruits at Fort Dix military base, New Jersey, who had influenza-like illnesses. Some of the isolates were similar to 1918 pandemic, thus it was labelled “swine flu” but “surveillance activities at Fort Dix gave no indication that recruits had contact with pigs” [contrary to this report]. [1, 2] One soldier died.
On March 10, 1976 the ACIP committee determined at person-to-person transmission had occurred, they recommended that an immunization program be launched to prevent the effects of a possible pandemic.
The vaccination program was established to “vaccinate 140 million Americans against the swine flu” in the “hopes to immunize “every man, woman, and child””. 45 million people were vaccinated in 10 weeks with what became known as the “swine flu vaccine”.
The program was halted in many states due to unexpected high cases (1/100,000) of debilitating Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) reported following vaccination “resulting in 53 deaths“. [3, 4, 5, 6] The WHO claimed “the risk of GBS from the vaccine is slight” and it’s cause is “unknown”.
On December 16, 1976, Dr. Theodore Cooper, Assistant Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, announced the suspension of the swine flu mass vaccination program, “in the interests of safety of the public, in the interest of credibility, and in the interest of the practice of good medicine”. He acknowledged it would be “difficult to get the public to take flu shots again”.
The virus never spread beyond Fort Dix, army base and fizzled out without triggering a pandemic! [7, 8]
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 political level, but a gap remained between what is preached and what is practised. In 1995 the HFA for the 21st Century was launched.
WHO’s dependence on private foundations and pharmaceutical companies for funding began in 1993, as such private influence to grown and “the balance of power has shifted away from populations, represented by nation states.” It “has coincided with a growing reliance on [vested-intrests] vaccine-based strategies” as the primary solution for public health. “This top-down approach represents an abandonment of the community-based healthcare principles enshrined in the Alma Ata Declaration and in the founding charter of WHO.

Belmont Report for bioethics in medical research
The US Belmont Report is the “Ethical Principles and Guidelines for the Protection of Human Subjects of Research” a report created by the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research, prompted in part by problems arising from the Tuskegee Syphilis Study (1932–1972). The primary purpose of the Belmont Report is to protect human subjects and participants in clinical trials or research studies. The report was issued on Sept 30, 1978 and published in the Federal Register on April 18, 1979. [1, 2]
In 1991, 14 other Federal departments and agencies joined HHS in adopting a uniform set of rules for the protection of human subjects. This uniform set of regulations is the Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects, informally known as the ‘Common Rule‘. [3, 4]
