By May 6, 2009 the World Health Organisation (WHO) had lowered the standards for defining a pandemic, not taking into account the number of infections and death (page 9, point 25), allowing for a ‘pandemic’ to be declared when a new virus is NOT causing serious harm to most of the population. [2] This definition change occured between the first lab confirmed cases of a novel Influenza A virus 0n April 29, 2009 in 9 countries and then on June 11, 2009 when cases were reported in a total of 74 countries and territories the WHO Director General Dr Margaret Chan declared a global pandemic for the 2009 H1N1 virus. [3, 4, 5]
The declaration of a ‘pandemic’ after May 6, 2009 can be made simply if “a disease epidemic occurs when there are more cases of that [new] disease than normal.” On May 3, 2009 there was the additional criteria of an “enormous number of deaths and illness” , this was removed. On May 4, 2009 “deaths and illness” were removed. [6 , 7]
By changing the definition of “pandemic” in May 2009 the WHO can declare a PHEIC for the seasonal flu across the globe, excessive mortality and relative lethality are no longer a criteria to be considered. Declaring a PHEIC is grounds for using vaccines under emergency status.
On the same day Jaques Attali, a French political theorist and special advisor to presidents wrote:
History teaches us that humanity only evolves significantly when it is truly afraid.
The [H1N1 swine flu] pandemic that is beginning could trigger one of these structuring fears.
We will then come to the point, much more quickly than would have been possible on economic grounds alone, of putting in place the foundations of a true world government.
Points to note on pandemic lethality:
- In 2004 WHO guideline on influenza pandemic vaccines it states “Experts anticipate that the next pandemic, whenever it happens, will be associated with a high death toll and a high degree of illness requiring hospitalization, thus producing a considerable strain on health care resources. Pandemics are global by their very nature, and few countries are likely to be spared.”
- In 2005 the WHO updated their 1999 global influenza preparedness plan, with new “phases”, but still factored “severity of illness” into their decision for declaring phase 5 & 6, the 2009 update removed “severity“. Every year seasonal flu is a global disease – a pandemic! [8]

- February 24, 2020 WHO states: “A pandemic is the worldwide spread of a new disease.” [1]
“Pandemic Preparedness” with this now broad definition of what constitutes a “pandemic” can easily be employed as a weapon of global “health” control
