At the end of October, the Gates Foundation in Brussels organized another pandemic simulation game. The outbreak of a new virus in Brazil in 2025 was simulated. The WHO and the Robert Koch Institute were represented.
Unnoticed by the public, the Gates Foundation, together with the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security and the WHO, conducted another pandemic exercise as part of its annual "Grand Challenges Annual Meeting". Ten current and former health ministers and high-ranking officials met in Brussels on October 23 for the "Catastrophic Contagion" simulation game.
They simulated "a fictitious pandemic in the near future". This time, however, one would be confronted with a “higher mortality rate than Covid-19”, “which affects children and young people disproportionately”. The fictitious outbreak takes place in 2025 and it was a "Severe Epidemic Enterovirus Respiratory Syndrome". Almost exactly three years after pretty much the same people had completed the ominous "Event 201", this time the outbreak of an enterovirus was simulated. Roughly polio falls under this genus. In the exercise, participants were given the task of "making urgent political decisions with limited information in the face of uncertainty". Only quick decisions would save the world from a pandemic - according to the scenario that sounds familiar.
The insight of the participants? "Even after the horrific impact of COVID-19, there is still more preparation to be done, new decisions to be made, and additional resources to be made available." The "Pandemic Preparedness" program, which Gates is diligently promoting, must therefore be further intensified. Because it is “not the case” that the “critical political decisions” have been clarified by Covid-19. Instead, even among the “smartest and most experienced international healthcare leaders” there were disagreements over whether schools should be closed or travel restrictions imposed.
Is the next pandemic imminent?

"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever
