Did WHO DG Tedros arrange for Robert Fico to be shot after failing to convince him to continue with the Pandemic Treaty?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : WHO DG Had Robert Fico Shot Over Pandemic Treaty!
People are sharing a video of Meryl Nass, who appeared to suggest that WHO DG Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus may have ordered the failed assassination of Robert Fico, after failing to convince its populist Prime Minister to continued with the Pandemic Treaty!
“[F]irst Tedros was there [in Slovakia], and then someone tries to assassinate him [PM Robert Fico]…I can’t guarantee you the two things are related, but it is extraordinary that every major newspaper claimed immediately that the assassination was the result of a ‘lone wolf.'”
Physician and writer Dr. Meryl Nass (@NassMeryl) describes during a May 16 Children’s Health Defense (@ChildrensHD) roundtable discussion with Senator Ron Johnson (@SenRonJohnson) et al. how it had been reported that WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus had visited Slovakia and tried to talk the country’s prime minister, Robert Fico, out of “breaking consensus” for the WHO’s so-called “Pandemic Treaty” and International Health Regulation (IHR) amendments before the PM was the victim of an assassination attempt.
“It had been reported, actually, that Tedros, the Director-General of the WHO, had gone to Slovakia and had tried to talk him out of quote-unquote ‘breaking consensus for the documents,” Nass tells the roundtable participants.
“So, first Tedros was there, and then someone tries to assassinate him [Fico]…I can’t guarantee you the two things are related, but it is extraordinary that every major newspaper claimed immediately that the assassination was the result of a ‘lone wolf.’ And how they knew that—they obviously didn’t know that—but they obviously were all instructed to say that.”
Truth : WHO DG Did Not Have Robert Fico Shot Over Pandemic Treaty!
This is yet another example of fake news circulating on X (formerly Twitter), and here are the reasons why!
Fact #1 : Dr. Tedros Did Not Fly To Slovakia To Meet Robert Fico!
Let me start by pointing out that WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus did not fly to Slovakia to speak with Prime Minister Robert Fico, in an attempt to convince him to continue with the Pandemic Treaty.
In fact, the last time Dr. Tedros flew to Slovakia was in June 2022 – almost two years ago, when he attended the GLOBSEC Bratislava Forum, with Zuzana Čaputová, the President of the Slovak Republic.
Fact #2 : WHO DG Tedros Was In Paris + Geneva
Robert Fico was shot by a gunman while greeting people outside the House of Culture in Handlova, at around 2:30 PM local time on Wednesday, 15 May 2024.
A day before Fico was shot, WHO DG Tedros was in Paris, attending the Summit for Clean Cooking in Africa. He even posted photos of a high-level dialogue hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron that day!
After that, a WHO spokesperson confirmed that Dr. Tedros flew back to WHO headquarters in Geneva, where he posted his condemnation of the attempt assassination of Robert Fico, before hosting Francophone ambassadors in Geneva.
It would be a miraculous feat for Dr. Tedros to be in two places at the same time. Needless to say, neither Meryl Nass, nor the people sharing her video / claims, ever provide any evidence WHO DG Tedros was in Slovakia in May 2024…
Fact #3 : Robert Fico Did Not Reject WHO Pandemic Treaty
Claims that Robert Fico was shot because he rejected the WHO Pandemic Treaty is nonsense. Robert Fico did not recently formally and/or publicly reject the WHO Pandemic Treaty, as some people have claimed or suggested.
It was Peter Kotlár, the Slovak Government Plenipotentiary for the COVID-19 pandemic, who formally and publicly rejected the “current version” of the WHO Pandemic Treaty on 10 May 2024. Even that was not a final, conclusive rejection of the WHO Pandemic Treaty.
While Robert Fico himself appear to speak out against the WHO Pandemic Treaty, he did not actually say that he was rejecting the WHO Pandemic Treaty. He only said that the SMER party will not support expanding the powers of the WHO, at the expense of the state’s right to tackle future pandemics.
In other words, it very much sounds like he’s okay with WHO gaining more powers, as long as Slovakia still retains the right to tackle future pandemics its own way.
Fact #4 : Fico’s Ministers Called It Politically Motivated
In addition, claims that media outlets were instructed to claim that the shooting was committed by a lone wolf is equally nonsensical.
For one thing – the gunman, who was later identified as 71 year-old Juraj Cintula from Levice, was immediately detained by Fico’s security detail.
Then, both Defense Minister Robert Kaliňák and Interior Minister Matúš Šutaj Eštok called the shooting “politically motivated,” with Šutaj Eštok saying that “the suspect made the decision to do it shortly after the presidential election,” which ended just last month – on 6 April 2024.
Juraj Cintula frequented events organised by the pro-Russian paramilitary group, Slovenski branci (Slovakian Recruits), and praised the group and its anti-immigration stance multiple times on social media.
There is no evidence that Juraj Cintula was inspired to shoot Robert Fico because he was against the WHO Pandemic Treaty. In fact – none of those who made those suggestions or claims ever provided any evidence to back them up!

Did Delta Force just arrest WEF Chairman Klaus Schwab for being an international war criminal?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Delta Force Just Arrested WEF Chairman Klaus Schwab!
On 15 April 2024, Real Raw News posted an article (archive) which claimed that Delta Force just arrested WEF Chairman Klaus Schwab for being an international war criminal!
As usual, the article is long, rambling and confusing, so here is an excerpt. Please feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!
Delta Force Arrests Klaus Schwab
A Delta Force strike team arrested 86-year-old World Economic Forum (WEF) founder Klaus Schwab Friday following a deadly firefight that started at the fortified gate at his 7,770-square-foot, six-acre compound in Switzerland and ended in his bed-chamber, where the death-bringing geezer lay in bed hooked up to a self-dispensing Adrenochrome infusion machine, a source in General Eric M. Smith’s office told Real Raw News.
The overdue arrest came after White Hats formally labeled Schwab an international war criminal based on undisclosed evidence showing that he helped orchestrate the Covid plandemic and the Great Reset—the dismantlement of capitalism, the dissolution of private property rights, and the enslavement or eradication of all resistance, globally.
Delta snipers with suppressor-equipped rifles shot three gate and five perimeter guards in the head. Eight shots, eight confirmed kills. Meanwhile, more Delta scaled the stone wall surrounding Schwab’s fortress and engaged a gaggle of armed goons, killing seven and grievously wounding five more. One Delta was shot in the arm and leg but kept fighting. Another got zipped by a ribbon of submachine gun fire and died.
The phalanx of gunfire continued as Delta fought their way to the front door; two soldiers set charges while six others covered them, rippling off lethal controlled bursts that dropped four more approaching guards. The door splintered into countless shards of hardwood and twisted metal—the explosion disemboweled three interior guards who were standing behind it. Delta stepped over their guts and pressed forward, clearing the house room by room and shooting dead all opposition. Four guards came wheeling around a spiral staircase face-first into a Delta barrage of bullets.
“We have four wounded and one KIA. They retrieved their fallen brother’s body. He died a hero. I won’t say where we have Schwab right now, but I will say where he’s going—GITMO. Unfortunately, ending Schwab doesn’t end WEF. We still have a lot of work to do. And we confirmed he was taking Adrenochrome—that’s what was in the machine next to his bed,” our source said.
He added that President Trump was informed about the operation and that the hospitalization trope is a Deep State cover story.
Truth : Delta Force Did Not Arrest WEF Chairman Klaus Schwab!
The truth is – this is just another fake story created by Real Raw News, just to generate page views and money.
Fact #1 : Delta Force Did Not Arrest Klaus Schwab!
This is really silly, but it has to be said – US Delta Force soldiers did not arrest WEF Chairman Klaus Schwab!
If Klaus Schwab was actually arrested for any reason by any law enforcement authority, it would have been covered internationally, not just nationally, because it would be completely unprecedented!
Yet, there was no such news. That’s because it never happened – Klaus Schwab was never arrested for any reason.
Unsurprisingly, the Real Raw News article offered no evidence to back up its claim, just rambling nonsense.
Fact #2 : US Soldiers Cannot Arrest Civilians
It is really silly for anyone to claim that Delta Force operators were sent to arrest Klaus Schwab in Switzerland – a civilian in a sovereign country, when US military personnel cannot even arrest civilians in the United States!
If the US government wants to arrest civilians like Klaus Schwab in Switzerland, it can only do so by issuing an Interpol Red Notice. Even then, it will be up to the Swiss police to decide whether to arrest and extradite Klaus Schwab.
There is simply no avenue for American law enforcement officers to arrest Klaus Schwab in Switzerland, much less military personnel!
Real Raw News is a fake news website that capitalises on making shocking but fake stories to generate page views and money.
To protect himself from legal repercussions, the owner and writer, Michael Baxter (real name – Michael Tuffin), claims that his articles are “humour, parody, and satire“.
That disclaimer, which is not clearly mentioned in his articles, lets him keep creating fake news to go viral, and generate money.

His articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should NEVER share anything from his website. Here are some of his fake stories that I debunked earlier:

Are arrest warrants being issued for WEF Young Global Leaders like Justin Trudeau?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Arrest Warrants Being Issued For WEF Young Global Leaders!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claimed or suggested that arrest warrants are being issued for WEF Young Global Leaders like Justin Trudeau!
Trudeau Panics As Arrest Warrants Issued Against WEF Young Global Leaders
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has warned that independent media outlets represent a threat to the WEF’s Great Reset agenda that the global elites are working so hard to implement.
This is a huge problem for Trudeau personally because he understands that that his days as a free man are numbered and when the global elite fail and the WEF falls, he will be held to account for his various crimes.
According to the son of a WEF co-founder, Pascal Najadi, key figures are cooperating with prosecutors in the crimes against humanity case against the global elite and their diplomatic immunity is about to be revoked.
Meet Pascal Najadi, the son of Hussein Najadi, a banker who founded the World Economic Forum with Klaus Schwab in 1971 before quitting 10 years later because he could not in good conscience work towards the goal of eliminating more than 90 percent of humanity as part of Schwab’s obsessive depopulation agenda.
Pascal Najadi is now cooperating with prosecutors who are building a case against Schwab and the WEF, handing over his father’s documents, computers, records and archives.
The world is waking up to the truth about the globalist elite and so-called “conspiracy theories” are being exposed as conspiracy facts at an alarming rate. The elite know they cannot continue hiding in plain sight for much longer.
WEF Young Global Leaders including Jacinda Ardern in New Zealand, Emmanuel Macron in France and Justin Trudeau in Canada are shaking in their boots as their crimes are exposed.
No Evidence Arrest Warrants Were Issued For WEF Young Global Leaders!
This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Young Global Leaders Is Separate NGO
Let me start by pointing out that The Forum of Young Global Leaders (YGL) is a separate, non-profit organisation run by the World Economic Forum (WEF), but under the supervision of the Swiss government.
Young Global Leaders must be younger than 38 years old at the time of acceptance, and highly accomplished in their fields. Once selected, they serve six-year terms.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern are former Young Global Leaders. In fact, they are not even listed in the YGL alumni network!
Fact #2 : No Evidence Arrest Warrants Were Issued For YGLs
Approximately 100 Young Global Leaders are selected each year, and there are currently over 1,400 YGL members and alumni members.
However, there is no evidence that arrest warrants were issued against current or former Young Global Leaders for “crimes against humanity”.
If even a single arrest warrant was issued against any Young Global Leader for “crimes against humanity”, it would have gone viral, and reported globally.
Yet, there was no coverage by the mainstream media, and no social media outrage? Heck, even right-wing websites did not so much as squeak about arrest warrants being issued for Young Global Leaders???
That’s because that never happened. The People’s Voice article, unsurprisingly, offered no evidence to back up its “fact checked” claim.
Pascal Najadi often claims that his father – Hussain Najadi, was a co-founder of the World Economic Forum (WEF), together with Klaus Schwab.
However, Hussain Najadi has never claimed to be a co-founder of the WEF. In fact, his own autobiography – The Sea and the Hills, only stated that he had been “invited [by Schwab] to attend the Davos Economic Symposium“.
Fact #4 : Justin Trudeau Screenshot Is Fake
The cover image used by The People’s Voice article and video features a screenshot which purportedly shows the Justin Trudeau posting on X (formerly Twitter) that:
Independent media is the enemy – mass censorship is our weapon!
That is most definitely a fake screenshot, because there was no such post on X (formerly Twitter) by Justin Trudeau. On top of that, Justin Trudeau’s Twitter account has a grey checkmark, not a blue checkmark.
And it’s a really silly creation too – why would Justin Trudeau publicly reveal his evil, dastardly plans to take over the world like Pinky and the Brain???
Unfortunately, we will never know because The People’s Voice article never explained WHY, or provided any evidence that such a post ever existed!
Fact #5 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.
Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.
Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should never share anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice. Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:

Can you use a magnet to detect heavy metals in tea bags?! Take a look at the viral video, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Use Magnet To Detect Heavy Metals In Tea Bags!
People are sharing a video, which appears to show how a magnet can be used to detect heavy metals in our tea bags! It’s also being used to promote alternative healthcare products to detox or purge your body of these “heavy metals”.
Died Suddenly :They put metals in baby formula, vaccines, and also our food. Why?
PurgeStore :Why are heavy metals in all of our products even in those which are supposedly natural?
Heavy metals are in most products you use, the air you breathe, and the food you eat. These metals are toxic, and they can build up over time and make you sick.
Accumulation of metals can impair brain’s function and development, cognitive abilities and it affects memory. Also, If you’re dealing with fatigue, autoimmune issues, or thyroid problems, heavy metal toxicity may be to blame.
The good news is that certain detox protocols really work, and they can help you feel more energized, and focused.
If you have never done a real detox before and you’re feeling sluggish and slow, cleansing your system is definitely going to help you feel much better, focused and sharper.
Croustillant Dupé : The amount of heavy metals in products claiming to be natural and organic is shocking!
See below other great sources of heavy metal contained in many products that we consume
Truth : You Cannot Use Magnet To Detect Heavy Metals In Tea Bags!
This is yet another example of fake news circulating on X (formerly Twitter), and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : It Was A Herbal Tea Bag
Let me start by pointing out that the tea bag in the viral video is not a typical black / green tea bag that many of us commonly consume.
I traced the tea bag to the Swiss company, Coop, which produces and sells this tea bag as Alpenkräuter-Tee mit Orangenminze. or Organic Alpine Herbal Tea with Orange Mint, under the Naturaplan brand.
This tea bag does not contain any actual tea from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis. Instead, it only contains herbs, and orange mint:
Nettle (Switzerland), goldenrod (Switzerland), orange mint 20% (Switzerland), lemon balm (Switzerland). All agricultural ingredients come from organic production.
Fact #2 : Most Heavy Metals Are Not Magnetic
The video shows a magnet being used to separate and capture some blackish powder. While it is impossible to determine what the blackish powder is from a low-resolution video, that is likely oxidised iron filings (rust).
It is unlikely for magnets to pick out heavy metals, because most of them are not magnetic. The only three elemental metals that are naturally ferromagnetic, and can be “detected” by a magnet, are iron, cobalt, and nickel.
Coincidentally, those three are also micronutrients that are essential for human health, so we won’t count them in the “bad” heavy metals category for the purpose of this article. The “bad” heavy metals that we really want to avoid in our diet, like arsenic, lead, cadmium, thallium, etc. are not magnetic, and cannot be picked up by any magnet.
Therefore, it is highly likely that the blackish powder seen in the video is just iron filings, which is easily picked up by a magnet, and is also a common contaminant in tea. I will explain in the next section…
Fact #3 : Iron Filings Are Common Contaminants In Tea
What many people don’t know is that iron filings are a common contaminant in tea powder and tea bags, due to the manufacturing process, which relies on iron machinery.
To make tea powder or the crushed tea leaves used in tea bags, the tea leaves are dried in a sieve fitted with an iron mesh. The dried tea leaves are then cut using iron rollers, before being crushed by crushing / shredding machines made of iron.
The final shredded / powdered tea leaves will naturally contain fine iron particles. Even though large magnets are used to remove those iron filings, some will inevitably remain in the tea.
That is why food authorities worldwide have limits on how much iron content is allowed in tea. For example, Sri Lanka sets the maximum limit at 200 milligrams per kilogram of tea, while the permissible limit in India is 150 mg/kg (although tea producers here have asked for the limit to be increased to 500 mg/kg).

Is Bill Gates planning to kill billions of people using Turbo AIDS from his new HIV vaccine?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Bill Gates Plans To Kill Billions Using Turbo AIDS!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which suggests that Bill Gates is planning to kill billions of people using Turbo AIDS from his new HIV vaccine!
Here is an excerpt from the article, which is (intentionally?) long and confusing. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!
‘Turbo-AIDS’ Set To Kill BILLIONS After ‘Disease X’ Rollout, Gates Insider Warns
Bill Gates’ new HIV vaccine has AIDS as a possible side-effect which raises the question – is Disease X just VAIDS dressed up in fancy new clothes?
The slew of new vaccines and injectables is as long as your arm and Bill Gates couldn’t wait to boast about them this week at Davos, including the news that needles are on the way out and “little patches” will be in.
Did you notice Gates’ sly smile when he mentioned India – the site of many of his most egregious crimes against humanity? The man has no shame.
Of course, there is no point trying to find any record of Gates’ crimes in India in the fully bought and paid for mainstream media. Those articles were scrubbed around the same time Gates start “investing“ in the media. Gates mentioned a new vaccine for HIV, which sounds great, until you read the fine print and realize that full-blown AIDS is one of the possible side-effects.
And if the Covid pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that potential side-effects, for example myocarditis, sudden heart failure, and debilitating strokes, should be taken very seriously.
Truth : Bill Gates Did Not Plan To Kill Billions Using Turbo AIDS!
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Turbo AIDS Does Not Exist
This is really silly, but let me start by pointing out there is no such thing as Turbo AIDS. Like Turbo Cancer, Turbo AIDS was made up to scare people.
The People’s Voice certainly offered no evidence to back up its claims about the non-existent Turbo AIDS.
Fact #2 : No Bill Gates Plan To Kill Billions Using Turbo AIDS
Bill Gates took part in a panel at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, on 17 January 2024. He also spoke to CNBC about AI, technology, and healthcare.
However, Bill Gates never once said anything about a HIV vaccine, or using Turbo AIDS to kill billions of people, at WEF 2024. So why would anyone claim that he did? Where is the evidence??
Fact #3 : Gates Financed HIV Vaccine Research In 1998 + 1999
Bill Gates does not have a “new HIV vaccine”. He only funded research into AIDS vaccines more than two decades ago!
After reading up on AIDS vaccines in 1998, Bill Gates gave the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI) a $1.5 million gift, with another $25 million in 1999 through The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
To date – no HIV vaccine has yet been approved. While two potential HIV vaccines have been tested, they were found to only protect few individuals, and the protection was not long-lasting.
HIV vaccine research is still ongoing, and HIV vaccines are unlikely to be approved for many more years to come.
And just in case you are wondering – no, even current HIV vaccine candidates do not cause turbo AIDS, which does not exist.
Fact #5 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Publishing Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.

Did the World Economic Forum (WEF) just admit that Disease X will be unleashed onto the public in 2025?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : WEF Admits Disease X Will Be Leaked In 2025!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claims that the World Economic Forum (WEF) just declared that Disease X will be unleashed onto the public in the year 2025!
Here is an excerpt from the article, which is ridiculously long and confusing. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!
WEF Admits Disease X Will Be Leaked in 2025
The World Economic Forum (WEF) has declared that ‘Disease X’ will be unleashed onto the public by the year 2025 – and the consequences will be devastating for humanity.
Last week, global elites met at the WEF Davos summit where the key topic of discussion was “Preparing for Disease X,” a hypothetical new deadly pandemic predicted to emerge in 2025 and kill 20 times more people than COVID-19.
Whatever the globalists claim will happen actually does happen at a remarkable frequency, and their prognostic capabilities become easier to explain when you consider that most lethal pandemics have been caused by manmade viruses, the products of gain-of-function research. It’s pretty easy to predict a new viral outbreak if you have said virus waiting in the wings.
With that in mind, recent research from China certainly raises concern, to say the least. According to a January 3, 2024, preprint,6 a SARS-CoV-2-related pangolin coronavirus — described as a “cell culture-adapted mutant” called GX_P2V that was first cultured in 2017 — was found to kill 100% of the humanized mice (ACE2-transgenic mice) infected with it.
The medical system has been used in the past to drive forward a New World Order agenda — now rebranded as “The Great Reset” — and it’s now being used to implement the final stages of that longstanding plan. COVID-19 was a real-world practice run, and showed just how effectively a pandemic can be used to shift the balance of power, and strip the global population of its wealth and individual freedoms.
So, there’s no doubt in my mind that additional pandemics will be declared, because they’re the means to the globalists’ ends. To prevent this global coup, we need everyone to speak and share the truth to the point that you’re able. Only then will our voices outnumber the voices of the propaganda machine.
Truth : WEF Did Not Admit Disease X Will Be Leaked In 2025!
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : WEF Never Declared Disease X Would Be Unleashed In 2025
This is really silly, but let me start by pointing out that the World Economic Forum (WEF) never admitted or declared that Disease X would be unleashed onto the public in 2025.
If the WEF actually declared this publicly, it would have been international news, covered worldwide by legitimate media outlets. Yet, it has only been mentioned by conspiracy / fake news websites?
That’s because it never happened. The People’s Voice certainly offered no evidence to back up its claims.
Fact #2 : WEF Held A Panel On Disease X
On January 17, 2024, WEF held a panel discussion on Disease X, featuring WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, and six other panelists.
If you watch the entire panel discussion, which was called Preparing for Disease X, you will see that no one ever claimed that Disease X would be unleashed or leaked onto the public in the year 2025.
So why are some people claiming that the WEF declared that Disease X would be released in 2025? Do they know something even the panel of health experts don’t know?
What The People’s Voice article does not tell you is that Disease X does not actually exist. Disease X is merely a placeholder name for a hypothetical, unknown pathogen that could cause a future epidemic.
It is used by healthcare organisations and policy makers as an easy way to label an unknown disease that could potentially emerge in the future.
If a new pathogen emerges, it won’t be called Disease X. Remember when news first broke about a new coronavirus emerging in Wuhan, China, at the end of 2019? It wasn’t called Disease X then.
Initially, the WHO called it the 2019 Novel Coronavirus, or 2019-nCoV. Then, the disease itself was named as COVID-19, while the virus that causes it was named as SARS-CoV-2.

Did the World Economic Forum (WEF) just declare war on coffee, saying that people should not have more than 2-3 cups per year?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : The WEF Declares War On Coffee!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claims that the World Economic Forum (WEF) just declared war on coffee, saying that people should not have more than 2-3 cups per year!
WEF Declares War on Coffee: ‘No More Than 2 or 3 Cups Each Per Year’
The World Economic Forum has declared war on coffee drinkers, declaring that they are causing “global boiling” and must be stopped at all costs.
According to World Economic Forum Agenda Contributor Hubert Keller, “The coffee that we all drink emits between 15 and 20 tonnes of CO2 per tonne of coffee… Every time we drink coffee, we are putting CO2 into the atmosphere.”
“Most of the coffee is produced by monoculture, and monoculture is also affected by climate change. The quality of these natural assets is deteriorating rapidly.”
According to the World Economic Forum, coffee drinkers will have to limit themselves to two or three cups of coffee per year in the future.
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Hubert Keller Is Not Part Of WEF
First, let me just point out that Hubert Keller is not part of the World Economic Forum (WEF) organisation. He is a senior managing partner at the Lombard Odier Group – an independent Swiss banking group.
On 17 January, 2024, he participated in a panel on “Putting a Price on Nature” during the WEF 2024 meeting, together with:
Uyunkar Domingo Peas Nampichkai, President of the Board of Directors, Amazon Sacred Headwaters Alliance
Ronald W. Hovsepian, CEO of Indigo Ag, Inc.
Nick Studer, President and CEO of Oliver Wyman
Marina Silva, Brazil Minister of Environment and Climate Change
Gretchen Daily, Bing Professor in Environmental Science, Stanford University
As you can see, none of the panel participants work for the WEF. So it is ridiculous to claim or suggest that Hubert Keller represents the World Economic Forum, or sets its policies.
Fact #2 : Hubert Keller + WEF Did Not Declare War On Coffee
It it also important to note that neither Hubert Keller, nor the WEF, declared war on coffee. Neither did they say that people should drink “no more than 2 or 3 cups each per year”.
Needless to say, The People’s Voice provided no evidence that either Hubert Keller or the WEF declared war on coffee, or say that people should drink “no more than 2 or 3 cups each per year”.
In the video clip (archive) it used as “evidence”, all Hubert Keller did was point out that each tonne (not cup) of coffee emits between 15 and 20 tonnes of CO2, and that the quality of the coffee monocultures being produced is deteriorating rapidly due to climate change.
Not once did Hubert Keller say that people should not drink coffee, or they should limit themselves to just 2-3 cups per year.
Fact #3 : Hubert Keller Was Promoting Regenerative Farming
What The People’s Voice article does not mention is that Hubert Keller was promoting regenerative food production, as this Lombard Odier article points out:
Many in the finance industry are focussed on voluntary carbon markets, he said, “but at Lombard Odier we are more cautious about carbon markets. Ultimately, big corporations, who are the natural buyers of carbon credits, are going to concentrate on real emissions reductions on the ground. So we have concerns over whether voluntary carbon markets can achieve the scale we need.”
Instead, he said, “We are focussing our attention on regenerative food production. Why? Because 85% of the pressure on Nature stems from our food systems, so it is the development of regenerative food production that will unlock value in Nature’s assets. It will increase the life and resilience of those assets. It will increase the carbon sequestration. And it will create nature-positive commodities at a time when the world is putting a price on the environmental cost of production. Economic systems powered by Nature’s regenerative approach can outcompete today’s economic systems.”
You can watch his full explanation in this WEF 2024 video here, from around the 20:25 minute.
Fact #4 : Hubert Keller Spoke About Improving Coffee Cultivation
Ironically, Hubert Keller was actually speaking about improving coffee cultivation – quite the opposite of declaring war on coffee.
The viral video clip is short, showing Hubert Keller speaking for just 41 seconds. If the video clip is longer, you would actually see Hubert Keller then speaks specifically about improving coffee cultivation.
At around the 26:38 mark of the full video, Hubert Keller suggests that using capital to acquire small coffee farms and transform them using the regenerative agroforestry model, thus improving its production while sequestering carbon and restoring biodiversity, without increasing costs for the consumer.
In short – he was recommending that the coffee industry adopts the regenerative farming method to improve productivity, longevity, and biodiversity, while helping to mitigate climate change.
Fact #5 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Publishing Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.
Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.
Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should never share anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice. Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:

Were thousands of child sex workers flown on private jets to service WEF 2024 attendees in Davos?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Child Sex Workers Flown To Davos For WEF 2024!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claims that thousands of child sex workers were flown on private jets to service attendees of the 2024 World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos!
Child Sex Workers ‘Fully Booked’ at Davos, WEF Insider Says
Thousands of children have been flown into the World Economic Forum under cover of darkness for the global elite’s annual summit in the Swiss alpine report of Davos, according to World Economic Forum insiders who reveal the horrific scale of the elite’s chosen vice.
Dozens of private jets have been turned into child escort carriers to traffic the children across borders and into the vipers’ den, according to sources familiar with the matter.
None of these children have passports and the majority of them do not have any form of identification. Their past is unknown and their future does not bear thinking about.
Demand for sex work skyrockets each year at the meeting of world leaders and business tycoons who jet in from all around the world to rub shoulders with each other.
What the media don’t tell you is that the majority of these sex workers are underage. And many of them are extremely young.
It said over 1,000 private-jet flights arrived and departed airports serving Davos in January and approximately 12 of these were packed with underage children being trafficked.
Truth : Child Sex Workers Were Not Flown To Davos For WEF 2024!
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : No Evidence Of Child Sex Workers At WEF 2024
First, let me just point out that there is absolutely ZERO evidence that any child sex worker was trafficked to Davos for the 2024 World Economic Forum (WEF).
The People’s Voice certainly provided no evidence to back up its claims of “thousands of children” being flown to WEF 2024 on private jets for sex work.
Think about it for just a second. Davos isn’t some sealed town owned by the “evil WEF cabal”. It is a town in Switzerland where anyone can visit. There were thousands of people in Davos for WEF 2024, including members of the media from all over the world, as well as conspiracy theorists and cranks looking to record viral video clips (example) of the WEF elite.
Yet no one was able to obtain a single photo or video of any child sex worker in Davos, in the age of ever-present cameras in smartphones, CCTVs, dash cams, etc.?
Fact #2 : Passports Required For Private Jet Passengers
The claim that the elite trafficked children into Davos without passport or identification is ludicrous. Even if they flew in on private jets, they would still need to present their passports for international flights.
Private jets merely offer privacy and convenience. They do not allow passengers to bypass immigration controls.
Fact #3 : Minors Cannot Travel By Themselves
There is also the inconvenient fact that minors are not allowed to travel across borders without being accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Imagine a private flight of multiple minors without their parents landing at any airport. It would have drawn special scrutiny. There is simply no way for child sex workers to be trafficked across borders using private jets.
The People’s Voice cannot even keep its fake story straight. After claiming that “dozens” of private jets were used to “traffic the children across borders”, it then claimed that about a dozen flights were used to transport those child sex workers to Davos.
What the writer may not realise is that private jets are small. Most private jets seat about 8-12 people, but the largest – the Embraer Lineage 1000, can seat up to 18 people.
A dozen Lineage 1000 flights would only carry a total of 216 children. For a thousand children, you would need about a hundred private jets, or at least 56 of the super-large Embraer Lineage 1000 private jets.

The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.

Did the WEF just order world leaders to nullify US election results if Donald Trump wins the 2024 presidential race?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : WEF Orders US Election To Be Nullified If Trump Wins!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claims that the World Economic Forum (WEF) just ordered world leaders to nullify the US election results in Donald Trump wins the 2024 presidential race!
WEF Orders World Leaders To Nullify U.S. Election Results if Trump Wins
The World Economic Forum (WEF) has ordered world leaders to nullify the U.S. election results if Donald Trump wins the 2024 presidential race.
During the WEF’s annual summit in Davos, Switzerland last week, the unelected bureaucrats discussed how they will counter a Trump presidency.
Bloomberg Television host Francine Lacqua asked leaders at the WEF during Friday’s session about how they would prepare for the very real possibility of Trump’s reelection.
She first turned to David Rubenstein, the co-founder and co-executive chairman of The Carlyle Group, one of the world’s largest private equity firms, and asked, “David, a number of leaders have expressed concern of what Donald Trump in the White House means for fragmentation, for foreign policy. Is there any way that the rest of the world can Trump-proof their economies?”
“Ummm, if somebody has a way to do that, I think they should patent it and probably sell it to somebody else,” he began. “It’d be very difficult to do.”
Representatives from Europe offered their views as well.
Lacqua then turned to Germany’s Federal Minister of Finance Christian Lindner and asked how he thinks “Europe should prepare.”
“I think we are talking too much about Donald Trump in Europe, and we should prepare ourselves for a possible second term for Donald Trump by fostering our European competitiveness,” Lindner said. “Doing our homework is the best preparation for a possible second term of Donald Trump, and this includes our capabilities to defend ourselves.”
He went on to argue that working to be an “attractive partner on eye-level” in terms of economics and NATO is the best way to ensure a good partnership with the United States, to the point that it won’t matter whether Biden or Trump ultimately win the presidency in 2024.
Truth : WEF Did Not Order US Election To Be Nullified If Trump Wins!
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : WEF Cannot Order World Leaders To Do Anything
First, let me just point out that the World Economic Forum is an international non-governmental organisation (NGO) that focuses on public-private sector collaboration. It has no power over world leaders, beyond its lobbying and influencing efforts.
The WEF may be an influential lobbying organisation, but it cannot order world leaders to do anything.
Fact #2 : US Presidential Elections Cannot Be Nullified
The claim that other world leaders can nullify the US presidential election is so ludicrous, I cannot believe anyone is stupid enough to believe it. If that is even possible, Russia and China would have overturned the 2020 election in Trump’s favour!
The truth is – there is no way any world leader can nullify the US presidential elections. The 2024 US presidential election will be decided by the American people on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, who will elect a president and a vice president for the next four years.
Fact #3 : The Article Provided No Evidence
Despite its title and lede claiming that the WEF has ordered world leaders to nullify the US election results if Donald Trump wins, The People’s Voice provided no evidence to back up those claims.
In fact, the article itself quotes world leaders saying that they will need to prepare for a potential Trump presidency. That sounds like they are resigning themselves to the real possibility that Donald Trump may win the election – the complete opposite of nullifying the election results.
Fact #4 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Publishing Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.
Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.

Did billionaire financier George Soros just suffer a stroke while speaking at the 2024 World Economic Forum?!
Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : George Soros Just Suffered A Stroke At WEF 2024!
People are sharing a video on X (formerly Twitter), while claiming or suggesting that billionaire financier George Soros just suffered a stroke while speaking at the 2024 World Economic Forum!
DiedSuddenly :Globalist vaxx pusher and tyranny expert George Soros appears to have experienced a stroke on live television while giving his speech at the WEF.
Concerned Citizen : 🚨 Did George Soros just suffer a stroke on camera?
Henry Kissinger recently just passed. C’mon God – do your thing & finish the job please.
Cillian : George Soros appears to suffer a stroke whilst reading from a WEF script about the “melting of the Greenland ice sheet” and other climate nonsense.
Truth : George Soros Did Not Suffer Any Stroke At WEF 2024!
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS circulating on X (formerly Twitter), and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Video Was Not Recorded At WEF 2024
First, let me start by pointing out that the video is genuine. However, it was not recorded at the 2024 World Economic Forum.
Rather, it was recorded 11 months earlier, on 16 February 2023, at the TUM (Technical University of Munich) Speaker Series, which was an official side event to the Munich Security Conference.
The video was then uploaded to YouTube in the official TUM Speaker Series channel on 22 March 2023.
Fact #2 : George Soros Did Not Attend WEF 2024
It is peculiar that people would claim that George Soros suffered a stroke at the 2024 World Economic Forum. As far as I can tell – George Soros did not attend the 2024 World Economic Forum at all!
Instead, he was replaced by his son, 38 year-old Alexander Soros, who took over as Open Society Foundations chairman from his father in 2022. Alex Soros spoke on the closing day of the 2024 WEF on Friday, 19 January 2024.
George Soros also skipped the 2023 World Economic Forum, but attended the Munich Security conference a month later, where the viral video was originally recorded.
While it is really a terrible idea to diagnose anyone by simply watching a video, George Soros does not appear to suffer from a stroke during that speech.
At about 05:10 of the full video, George Soros appears to zone out for about 23 seconds, before recovering and continuing with his speech.
Other than that momentary “freeze”, he did not appear to exhibit any symptoms of a stroke – difficulty speaking, drooping of one side of the face, weakness of one side of the body, etc.
Soros then spoke normally for another 5 minutes or so, before a video montage was shown. At 17:31, he went on to speak non-stop for another 30 minutes. In the full video, he spoke for about 40 minutes in total – pretty impressive for a 92 year old man (at that time).

Did the WHO (World Health Organization) just unveil its Global Police Force with the power to arrest people?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : WHO Unveils Global Police Force With Arrest Powers!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), claiming that the WHO (World Health Organization) just unveiled its Global Police Force at the 2024 World Economic Forum in Davos.
Ostensibly, this WHO Global Police Force has the power to arrest people who spread “non-mainstream content” on the Internet!
WHO Unveils ‘Global Police Force’ To Arrest Citizens Who Post Independent Media Online
The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced plans to rollout a global police force that will be responsible for punishing citizens who spread non-mainstream content on the Internet.
In a session titled “Disease X,” WHO Director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus declared that in order to be “better prepared” and “to understand disease X,” the WHO’s legally binding ‘Pandemic Agreement’ needs to be adopted by leaders worldwide.
The Pandemic Agreement would grant the WHO unprecedented control over sovereign nations – allowing them to outlaw free speech and imprison citizens for sharing so-called ‘misinformation’ online.
He explained that the deadline for the legislation is May of this year and member states are negotiating between countries to implement it.
Truth : WHO Did Not Unveil Any Global Police Force!
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : WHO Did Not Unveil Any Global Police Force
First, let me just point out that the WHO (World Health Organization) did not unveil any Global Police Force, whether at the 2024 World Economic Forum, or elsewhere.
If such a police force was actually established, it would have been reported by mainstream media all over the world. There was no such coverage because it never happened. The People’s Voice article certainly offered no evidence of such a WHO Global Police Force.
In fact, if such a global Internet police force was established, the creators behind fake news websites would have been arrested. The fact that The People’s Voice can freely post such fake news is evidence that such a police force does not exist.
Fact #2 : Pandemic Treaty Was Initiated By WHO Member States
It is also important to point out that the Pandemic Treaty was not initiated by the World Health Organization itself, but rather its member states.
The International Health Regulations (IHR) were first adopted by member states in 1969, empowering the WHO to monitor global diseases. Those regulations have since been revised over the years, including in 2005 – after the SARS outbreak.
On 1 December 2021, world leaders agreed to kickstart the process to draft and negotiate an agreement or convention to “strengthen pandemic prevention, preparedness and response“.
Fact #3 : Pandemic Treaty Does Not Outlaw Free Speech
If you read the zero draft of the proposed Pandemic Treaty, you will realise that the WHO is not planning to control the Internet, or outlaw free speech. This is explicitly stated in Article 17, which refers to “Parties” that are the member states.
The Parties commit to increase science, public health and pandemic literacy in the population, as well as access to information on pandemics and their effects, and tackle false, misleading, misinformation or disinformation, including through promotion of international cooperation.
As you can see, under the agreement, each individual country will commit to increase knowledge about science and public health, as well as combat “false, misleading, misinformation or disinformation”.
Not only does the article clearly state that it is up to each country (not the WHO) to implement its policies, it does not mention anything about controlling the Internet.
The only people who need to worry about Article 17 of this proposed WHO agreement are those who peddle “false, misleading, misinformation or disinformation”.
Fact #4 : Pandemic Treaty May Not Be Binding
If you download and read the zero draft, you will realise that the WHO is still calling it a “convention, agreement, or other international instruments“, clearly showing that member countries have not decided whether they want it to be binding or otherwise.
In the third point noted on the very first page of the draft, it was even pointed out that this is just a draft that is being used for “commencing negotiations“, and that “nothing is agreed until everything is agreed“.
The INB (Intergovernmental Negotiating Body) further agreed that the zero draft would be considered at its fourth meeting as a basis for commencing negotiations at that meeting, it being understood that the zero draft will be without prejudice to the position of any delegation and following the principle that “nothing is agreed until everything is agreed”.
While some countries like the European Union, Britain, Indonesia and Kenya would prefer a legally-binding Pandemic Treaty, other countries like the United States, India and Brazil oppose a legally-binding agreement.
So it is ludicrous to claim that the Pandemic Treaty will be legally binding. No such decision has been made.
Fact #5 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Publishing Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.

Did legendary singer Tina Turner just die suddenly from COVID-19 vaccine side effects?!
Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Tina Turner Died Suddenly From COVID-19 Vaccine!
Right after news broke that Tina Turner died, anti-vaccination activists immediately claimed that the legendary singer died from COVID-19 vaccine side effects!
Since the vaccine came out, so many older Americans are dropping like flies in record numbers. Today Tina Turner died. She was 83.
La chanteuse Tina Turner est morte à l’âge de 83 ans Elle était vacciné 4 fois Elle aurait pu vivre 20 ans de plus sans les 4 vaccins #COVID #vaccination
Singer Tina Turner dies aged 83 She was vaccinated 4 times She could have lived 20 more years without the 4 vaccines #COVID #vaccination
Tina Turner Dead at 83 a fit Lady almost probably took the jab and died 10 yrs early due to her life fitness and excellent health.
No Evidence Tina Turner Died From COVID-19 Vaccine!
It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all celebrity deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Tina Turner Died After A Long Illness
According to her representative, Tina Turner (born Anna Mae Bullock on 26 November 1939) died peacefully after a long illness at her home in Küsnacht, Switzerland on 24 May 2023.
She did not “die suddenly”, as many are claiming on social media.
Fact #2 : Tina Turner Has Been In Poor Health For Many Years
Tina Turner’s official cause of death is currently unknown. However, she has been in poor health for many years.
In 2013, she suffered a stroke three weeks after her wedding to Erwin Bach, and had to learn to walk again. In 2016, she was diagnosed with intestinal cancer, which she battled for the rest of her life.
Tina Turner also suffered from high blood pressure, but opted to use homeopathic remedies. Eventually, her kidneys were damaged by hypertension, ending in kidney failure. She considered assisted suicide, but her husband donated his kidney to her. She underwent kidney transplant on April 7, 2017.
Until and unless her representative or family publicly reveal her cause of death, anyone who tells you that Tina Turner died from this or that cause is likely lying to you.
Fact #3 : Unknown If Tina Turner Was Vaccinated Against COVID-19
While people are claiming that Tina Turner was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, and some even claiming that she received four shots, she has never publicly revealed her vaccination status.
Therefore, it is currently unknown if Tina Turner was vaccinated against COVID-19. Her family has also not mentioned his vaccination status.
For all we know – she may not even be vaccinated against COVID-19! After all, she chose to go with alternative medicine to treat her hypertension.
Until and unless her family reveals her COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who claims that Tina Turner died from the COVID-19 vaccine is likely lying to you.
Fact #4 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days
Even if Tina Turner was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, it does not mean she died from the COVID-19 vaccine, as she would have received her doses many months ago!
She cannot possibly have died from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not months later.
Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination.
Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITT develop within days.
The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.
Your own immune system will identify the spike proteins as foreign, and destroy them within a matter of days, although some may last for up to a few weeks. This is part of how vaccines teach your immune system to identify the enemy and destroy it.
Fact #5 : Claims Of Celebrities Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False
So far, claims of sudden deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false in every instance. Here is the latest dozen of other false sudden death claims!
Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next celebrity tragedy…

Did Switzerland just order a stop to all COVID-19 vaccinations?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Switzerland Stops All COVID-19 Vaccinations!
People are sharing an article by Report24, as evidence that Switzerland has stopped all COVID-19 vaccinations:
@USMortality : Switzerland stops the Covid vaccinations: All vaccination recommendations have been withdrawn, doctors can only administer the controversial vaccines in individual cases under certain conditions – but then bear the risk of liability for vaccination damage.
Robert W Malone, MD : “News from the Front Lines Switzerland bans the COVID vaccines, Spike protein kills brain cells, AAPS updates, Twitter at war with Sbstck.”
Robert W Malone, MD : This is big news! “Switzerland stops the Covid vaccinations: All vaccination recommendations have been withdrawn””
PeterSweden : BOMBSHELL NEWS🚨🚨🚨
Switzerland is STOPPING the covid shots except under special circumstances.
And doctors will now be held LIABLE for injuries from giving it to patients.
Here is a machine translated excerpt from the really long German article, so feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!
BREAKING: Switzerland withdraws all Covid vaccination recommendations
Switzerland stops the Covid vaccinations: All vaccination recommendations have been withdrawn, doctors can only administer the controversial vaccines in individual cases under certain conditions – but then bear the risk of liability for vaccination damage. When will countries like Germany and Austria follow this example?
Vaccination is only possible in individual cases… However, no vaccination recommendation for risk patients is explicitly given here.
In the case of the valid non-recommendation, this essentially means that there is no longer a positive benefit-risk ratio for any Covid vaccination.
The new recommendations also have consequences for liability. The person vaccinating – i.e. generally the doctor – can be held liable if he has violated the duty of care. In this context, it is pointed out that the same rules regarding patient information apply to the Covid vaccination as to all other vaccinations.
Truth : Switzerland Did Not Stop All COVID-19 Vaccinations!
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Swiss COVID-19 Recommendations Are Available In 4 Languages
First, let me point out that the latest COVID-19 vaccination recommendations by the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH / BAG) are available in both English and German, as well as French and Italian.
So there is no reason to rely on the German article posted by Report24, because you can directly read what the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health actually said.
Fact #2 : Switzerland Does Not Recommend Vaccination For Spring + Summer 2023
nearly everyone (98%) in Switzerland has protection against COVID-19 from vaccination and/or having contracted and recovered from COVID-19,
the virus is likely to circulate less in spring / summer 2023, and
the current virus variants cause rather mild illness
However, that recommendation may change if “a wave of infection were to emerge in spring / summer 2023“.
In addition, it has not made any recommendation for autumn 2023, because that depends on the situation later in the year – whether there is a new variant or wave of infection.
It makes sense for Switzerland to stop recommending COVID-19 vaccination. After all, it had already achieved herd immunity with 98% of its population already protected through a combination of vaccination and prior infections.
Fact #3 : Switzerland Did Not Stop All COVID-19 Vaccinations
While Switzerland no longer recommends COVID-19 vaccination for the next six months, it did not actually order a stop to all COVID-19 vaccinations.
In fact, the FOPH pointed out that “vaccination may be wise in individual cases, as it improves protection against developing severe COVID-19 for several months” and that the advice “applies regardless of the number of vaccinations” already received.
The FOPH also maintained its advice on vaccination timing and vaccine type to be used:
Vaccination Timing
The COVID-19 vaccination can be given from 6 months after the last COVID-19 vaccination or from 6 months after a known coronavirus infection. Other vaccinations with inactivated vaccines can also be administered before, at the same time as or after a COVID-19 vaccination.
Vaccine
We advise you to get vaccinated with a bivalent (i.e. variant-adapted) mRNA vaccine or with the protein-based Novavax vaccine. Which vaccine(s) you have previously received is of no importance here. Monovalent mRNA vaccines continue to provide good protection against severe COVID-19 with possible hospitalisation.
Please note: If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have a severely weakened immune system, you should get yourself vaccinated with an mRNA vaccine.
Fact #4 : Not Recommended Vaccination At Own Cost + Own Risk
Because the FOPH no longer recommends COVID-19 vaccinations for spring / summer 2023, people who want to get vaccinated without a recommendation (for travel purposes, for example) will have to pay for the vaccine that was previously provided for free.
In addition, the COVID-19 vaccination will be given without subsidiary liability protection by the federal government.
However, if a doctor recommends that you receive the COVID-19 vaccine because you are considered “high risk”, it will be provided free of charge, and covered by compulsory health insurance.
In addition, such recommended COVID-19 vaccination will continue to be covered by subsidiary liability protection by the federal government.
The federal government can only pay compensation for vaccination damages for vaccinations recommended or ordered by the authorities. However, the federal government will only pay compensation for damages that are not otherwise covered (subsidiary liability).
In other words, a person suffering damages is only entitled to compensation if the damage has not already been covered, for example, by the vaccine manufacturer (product liability), the person administering the vaccination (medical liability) or by social or private insurance.
Fact #6 : COVID-19 Vaccination Is Not Off-Label Use
The new changes in COVID-19 vaccine recommendation does not mean that COVID-19 vaccinations are now “off-label”, because they don’t change the authorisation of those recommended / approved vaccines:
Monovalent for 12 years and above : 5-year authorisation since 27 March 2023
Monovalent 5 to 11 years : 5-year authorisation since 27 March 2023
Bivalent for 18 years and above : Temporary authorisation since 10 October 2022
Moderna Spikevax
Monovalent for 18 years and above : Temporary authorisation since 12 January 2021
Monovalent for 12 years and above : Temporary authorisation since 9 August 2021
Monovalent booster dose : Temporary authorisation since 26 October 2021
Monovalent for 6-11 years : Temporary authorisation since 13 May 2022
First bivalent vaccine : Temporary authorisation since 29 August 2022
Second bivalent vaccine : Unlimited authorisation since 8 March 2023
Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine
Vaccine for 18 years and above : Temporary authorisation since 22 March 2021
Booster dose : Temporary authorisation since 27 December 2021
Nuvaxovid COVID-19 Vaccine
Vaccine for 18 years and above : Temporary authorisation since 12 April 2022
Vaccine for 12-18 years and booster dose : Temporary authorisation since 2 September 2022
The new changes in COVID-19 vaccine recommendation do not mean that doctors “have to be liable for the vaccination“.
Based on the FOPH document (PDF download) on COVID-19 vaccination strategy (November 29, 2022), the doctor’s liability in vaccinating people against COVID-19 is no different from any other medical procedure or vaccination.
The liability of the doctor in a private practice or in a private hospital is assessed according to the Swiss Code of Obligations, in particular according to the regulations of the contract law (comparable requirements apply in a public hospital, but the liability is based on the cantonal state liability law).
The same rules regarding patient information apply to the Covid-19 vaccination as to all other vaccinations.Only if the duty of care has been violated and the other liability requirements are met (namely in the contractual relationship: breach of contract, adequate causal connection, fault and in the case of state liability: unlawfulness and adequate causal connection) can the vaccination center or the person vaccinating be held liable.
Ultimately, the cantonal authorities and courts have to decide whether and to what extent there could be a breach of the duty of care that could give rise to liability.

A video of Professor Sucharit Bhakdi has gone viral on Twitter, claiming that Thailand is preparing to declare the Pfizer vaccine contracts null and void!
Top Thai authorities including advisors to the King have been in discussions with Prof. Sucharit Bhakdi and are prepared to see to it that the Pfizer contracts are declared null and void!!
Thai Government Vows to be “First Country” to Declare Pfizer Contracts “Null” After Princess Drops of Heart Attack, Dr. Bhakdi Presents “Fraud”
No Evidence Thailand Vowed To Nullify Pfizer Vaccine Contracts!
There is really NO EVIDENCE that Thailand has vowed to be the first country in the world to declare the Pfizer vaccine contracts as null and void!
Fact #1 : The Video Was Edited To Remove Context
Like the second viral video, this video clip appears to be edited to remove some context. I confirmed that by watching and comparing the video clip to the full interview of Sucharit Bhakdi by Pascal Najadi.
It looks like the person who edited the video wanted to remove references to the fact that Bhakdi was talking to Thai activists and not Thai officials.
Here are my rough transcripts from the first video clip, with the removed parts highlighted in bold.
Let me tell you the wonderful thing that happened when we decided to go back to Thailand for a holiday, which was badly needed. This was the beginning of January this year. There are Thai activists in Thailand with whom we have been connected over the past year.
They said, if you come to Thailand… uh, I’m still a Thai by the way… I’m Thai-German… we will connect you with the authorities and advisors to the highest authorities in Thailand, and this is what happened.
So I have the opportunity, the first opportunity in three years, to talk to the top advisors of a government in any country.
And it was very, very impressive, because I laid out to them that this whole COVID-19 agenda is a fake, and why it is a fake, and I was able to lay out for them the proof that the COVID vaccinations were based on fraud.
The person who edited the video, also appears to be trying to scrub out the part where Bhakdi was referring to safety pharmacological studies in 2021 and 2022.
The EMA – European Medical Agencies – was asked again and again and again to reveal whether BioNTech Pfizer had ever performed any safety pharmacological study in 2021 and 2022, and the answer is available to us and to you.
The official answer submitted on the 18th of October of 2022. 18th of October, which we have at our disposal, the EMA declared officially that safety pharmacological studies were never performed. Never. And they were never deemed necessary. So now we have it.
It also appears that the first video was scrubbed to remove the part where Bhakdi stated that it was not the mRNA that was the problem, but the lipid packaging that protected it.
The person who edited the video also removed the part where Bhakdi said that the Thais were Googling information on the Pfizer-BioNTech contract. This would have alerted any viewer that Bhakdi was talking about Thai activists, and not Thai officials who would not need to Google such information.
[/su_note]
And when I told the Thais this, you know guys, they jumped up, they jumped up in the roof. And so they said Thailand is going to join Switzerland. Thailand is going to join Switzerland and show the world how to go, because the contract to buy millions of doses of that damn vaccine that is deadly, known to be deadly.
Not because of the mRNA, but just because of the lipids that are packaging the mRNA, that is enough to kill people. Not even the spike protein is necessary. You just have to take the packaging, and that it in itself is deadly. And that it in itself will cause anyone, will force anyone to say that nothing that is packaged in this deadly package can be safe. If the package itself is deadly, then you don’t have to ask what is in the package.
And then they said alright, and they were Googling and said, the contract was signed in Thailand with Pfizer-BioNTech and in this case, it was based on fraud because there were no safety studies and therefore, and it is now known that, this package is not safe. It is immaterial what is in in the package. It is not safe, because of the packaging.
And so they said to me – we will see to it that Thailand is the first country in the world that is going to declare this contract null, and nullify the contract. Which means that Pfizer BioNTech is going to have to pay back those billions to Thailand, with which Thailand will recompensate those peoples [sic] that have lost their existence.
Fact #2 : No Evidence Bhakdi Spoke To Thai Officials
As mentioned above, the viral video clip appears to have been edited to remove references to Thai activists, likely to convey the perception that Sucharit Bhakdi was speaking to Thai officials.
If you watch the full video or read the extended transcript above, Sucharit Bhakdi does not actually claim to have met any Thai official, never mind advisors to the royal family. He appears to have only met Thai activists who claimed that they can “connect” him with the authorities.
Fact #3 : No Evidence Thai Officials Plan To Nullify Pfizer Contracts
The full video, and the extended transcript above, shows that Sucharit Bhakdi appears to have spoken only with Thai activists, not Thai officials.
Therefore, there is no evidence Thailand is actually planning to nullify the Pfizer vaccine contracts. In fact, Bhakdi himself called for people to “start a movement” to “file a case against Pfizer-BioNTech“.
That would not be necessary if the Thai government is already planning to nullify the Pfizer vaccine contracts.
And if we are able in Thailand to start a movement to say, file a case against Pfizer-BioNTech that they pay for the damage they have done, let’s make it.
Fact #4 : Use Of Pfizer Vaccine Minimal In Thailand
It is odd that Sucharit Bhakdi is so focused on the Pfizer vaccine when the Moderna vaccine uses a similar mRNA and lipid nanoparticle delivery technology.
In any case, the use of Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines in Thailand is minimal. This is partly because the mainstay of the Thai COVID-19 vaccination programme was the AstraZeneca vaccine, that was eventually manufactured by Siam Bioscience (owned by King Vajiralongkorn himself).
But due to supply issues, Thailand imported and used large amounts of the Sinovac CoronaVac vaccine, and eventually the Sinopharm BIBP vaccine.
mRNA vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna only make up 5.7% of the COVID-19 vaccines delivered to the Thai government.

25.5 million
Sinopharm

Pfizer

Moderna

Fact #5 : Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Was Evaluated In 2020
I should also touch on the claim that the safety of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine was never tested.
Pfizer actually conducted their Phase 1/2 trial in 2020, testing the first participants on May 5, 2020, and posting the first date on August 20, 2020. That was followed up by the large Phase 3 trial, whose study was peer-reviewed and published in the New England Medical Journal in December 2020.
In other words, safety studies were carried out on the Pfizer vaccine in 2020, but not in 2021 or 2022 because it was the same vaccine.
It appears that the the first viral video was edited to removed the part about the EMA being asked whether Pfizer performed the safety tests in 2021 and 2022, to convey the false perception that Pfizer never conducted safety tests at all.
The EMA – European Medical Agencies – was asked again and again and again to reveal whether BioNTech Pfizer had ever performed any safety pharmacological study in 2021 and 2022, and the answer is available to us and to you.
The official answer submitted on the 18th of October of 2022. 18th of October, which we have at our disposal, the EMA declared officially that safety pharmacological studies were never performed. Never. And they were never deemed necessary. So now we have it.

Did WEF founder Klaus Schwab ban vaccinated pilots from transporting World Economic Forum members in and out of Davos 2023?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Klaus Schwab Banned Vaccinated Pilots From WEF 2023!
Various websites and social media users are claiming that WEF founder Klaus Schwab banned vaccinated pilots from transporting World Economic Forum members in and out of Davos 2023!
Here is one example, which is rather long, so feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!
WEF Hires Unvaccinated Pilots To Fly Them Into Davos: “Safety of Our Members Is No. 1 Priority”
Klaus Schwab has banned vaccinated pilots from transporting World Economic Forum members in and out of Davos due to the safety risk they pose.
According to reports, WEF members are being transport solely by unvaccinated pilots to the 2023 conference in Davos, Switzerland.
According to pilot Alan Dana, Davos elites have expressed interest in hiring unvaccinated pilots to fly their business trips.
“He’s getting calls now from wealthy businessmen and companies to fly their executives around on business jets with unvaccinated crew,” Dana said on “Maria Zeee Uncensored” this week.
Infowars.com reports: “They get the luxury of being able to choose, because there are still a large amount of crew available in the United States who are not vaccinated because the companies they work for didn’t mandate it.”
“These wealthy businessmen are requiring unvaccinated crew on their business trips,” Dana added. “Passengers on an airline who bought a ticket don’t have that luxury.”
Two years later, emerging data and increase documented incidents of individuals who “died suddenly” after receiving the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine appear to be making the elite second-guess who flies them around the world.
Truth : Klaus Schwab Did Not Ban Vaccinated Pilots From WEF 2023!
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and/or propagated by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : No Evidence Vaccinated Pilots Pose Any Safety Risk
This fake news appears to be based around prior claims that vaccinated airline pilots have a high risk of dying suddenly.
It may also be fuelled by the recent baseless allegations that the FAA loosened rules on pilot EKGs because so many of them had heart problems from the COVID-19 vaccines.
In any case, there is no evidence that vaccinated pilots pose any safety risk to their passengers, whether WEF 2023 attendees flying on private jets, or regular passengers on commercial airlines.
Fact #2 : Claim Was Based On Second-Hand Information
While the article claims that there are multiple “reports”, the only source for this claim is an interview with former Jetstar pilot Alan Dana on Maria Zeee Uncensored.
Even so, Alan Dana was relaying second-hand information from someone else – Josh Yoder – the head of US Freedom Flyers – which Infowars peg as “an anti-vaccine mandate group of pilots”.
He’s getting calls now from wealthy businessmen and companies to fly their executives around on business jets with unvaccinated crew.
They get the luxury of being able to choose, because there are still a large amount of crew available in the United States who are not vaccinated because the companies they work for didn’t mandate it.
These wealthy businessmen are requiring unvaccinated crew on their business trips. Passengers on an airline who bought a ticket don’t have that luxury.
Fact #3 : No Evidence Of Vaccinated Pilot Ban At Davos 2023
There is no evidence that Klaus Schwab banned vaccinated pilots from transporting World Economic Forum members in and out of Davos for WEF 2023.
Schwab is merely the founder and chairman of the World Economic Forum, and has no power over air travel policies in Switzerland. It would impossible for him to institute any ban on vaccinated pilot, even if he was so inclined.
And consider this for a moment – how would these ultra-rich WEF attendees prove that their pilots are unvaccinated? Is there an unvaccinated certificate?
Fact #4 : No Evidence WEF Hired Pilots
There is no evidence that the World Economic Forum hired pilots to transport attendees to its 2023 annual meeting.
The World Economic Forum organisation only organises the annual meeting, but does not handle the transportation or accommodation for attendees.
Fact #5 : Most WEF Attendees Do Not Fly By Private Jet
On average, about 3,000 people attend each World Economic Forum annual meeting. While many of the ultra-rich fly by private jet to Davos for World Economic Forum 2023, they are relatively few – less than 150 private jets for the first 3 days.
Most WEF attendees likely flew by commercial airlines to Zurich Airport, or if they are Europeans – took the train as recommended by WEF 2023 organisers. I mention this only because most airlines require their pilots to be fully-vaccinated.
Therefore, it would be rather pointless for Klaus Schwab to ban vaccinated pilots for private jets, when most attendees are being flown into Switzerland by vaccinated pilots on commercial airlines.
Ironically, Josh Yoder himself – the original source – refuted the claim in a tweet on January 15, 2023! He also called for people to unfollow people making such claims!
He stated that he only said that wealthy businessmen reached out to him to look for unvaccinated pilot. He never said that it was WEF or Davos who reached out to him.
He also notably did not say that the unvaccinated were being hired to ferry those rich people to Davos for World Economic Forum 2023.
Click bait journalism is a scourge. I never said that the WEF/Davos has reached out looking for unvaccinated pilots. What I did say was that wealthy businessmen have reached out to me for that purpose. Unfollow anyone spreading this garbage.@USFreedomFlyers @TuckerCarlson
Fact #7 : No Evidence Businessmen Are Looking For Unvaccinated Pilots
Even that less dramatic claim by Josh Yoder is impossible to verify. There is no other source for his claim. Neither has other private jet pilots or companies publicly made similar claims.
It doesn’t help that Yoder himself is known for promoting conspiracy theories about COVID-19 and the vaccines.
I should point out that if these ultra-rich individuals are so concerned about COVID-19 vaccines, they would have long sought out unvaccinated pilots to fly their private jets, or engaged private jet companies with unvaccinated pilots.
They wouldn’t be hiring pilots just to fly to the World Economic Forum. There is no specific reason why there is additional risk flying to the WEF, as opposed to any other flight they would normally take.

A video of Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla ignoring questions on COVID-19 vaccines preventing transmission has gone viral.
Take a look at the viral video, and find out what the facts really are!
Viral Video : Pfizer CEO Ignores Questions On Transmission!
A video of Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla ignoring questions on COVID-19 vaccines preventing transmission has gone viral.
Here is a rough transcript of what was said. It’s really long, so feel free to skip to the next section for the facts.
Ezra Levant : Mr. Bourla, can I ask you – when did you know the vaccines did not stop transmission? How long did you know that before saying it publicly?
Albert Bourla : Thank you very much.
Ezra Levant : To that question, I mean, we now know that the vaccines didn’t stop transmission, but why did you keep it secret?
Ezra Levant : You said it was 100% effective, then 90%, then 80%, then 70%, but we now know that the vaccines do not stop transmission. Why do you keep that secret?
Albert Bourla : Have a nice day.
Ezra Levant : I won’t have a nice day until I know the answer. Why did you keep it a secret that your vaccine did not stop transmission?
Avi Yemini :Is it time to apologise to the world, sir? To give refunds to the countries that borrowed their money into a vaccine that doesn’t work. An ineffective vaccine. Are you not ashamed of what you’ve done in the last couple of years?
Ezra Levant : Do you have any apologies to the public, sir?
Avi Yemini :Are you proud of it? You made millions on the backs of people’s entire livelihoods. How does that feel to walk the streets of millionaires on the backs of the regular person at home in Australia, in England, in Canada?
Ezra Levant : What do you think about on your yacht, sir? What do you think about on your private jet? Are you worried about product liability? Are you worried about myocarditis?
Avi Yemini :What about the seven deaths?
Ezra Levant : What do you have to say about young men dropping dead of heart attacks every day? Why won’t you answer these basic questions? No apologies, sir?
Avi Yemini :Do you think you should be charged criminally for some of the criminal behaviour you’ve obviously been a part of?
Ezra Levant : How much money have you personally made off the vaccine?
Avi Yemini :How many boosters do you think it will take for you to be happy enough with your earnings? Nothing?
Ezra Levant : Who did you meet with here in secret? Will you disclose who you met with? Who did you pay commissions to?
Ezra Levant : In the past, Pfizer has paid 2.3 billion dollars in fines for deceptive marketing. Have you engaged in that same conduct again? Are you under investigation like you were before for your deceptive marketing, sir?
Avi Yemini :If any other product in the world doesn’t work as promised, you get a refund. Should you not refund to countries that laid out billions for your ineffective vaccine?
Ezra Levant : Are you used to only sympathetic media, so you don’t know how to answer any questions?
This is yet another example of ANTI-VACCINE PROPAGANDA created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the facts you need to know.
Fact #1 : COVID-19 Vaccines Were Never Meant To Stop Transmission
The COVID-19 vaccines, whether from Pfizer or any other pharmaceutical company, were designed to prevent hospitalisation and death from COVID-19.
Prevention of transmission would have been a nice bonus, but it was never the primary goal of any COVID-19 vaccine. And how do we know that?
Simple – there were only three endpoints in the Phase 3 trials of COVID-19 vaccines:
protection against symptomatic infection
protection against severe disease
protection against death
All vaccines – whether Pfizer or otherwise – were never designed or required to prevent transmission of COVID-19.
That was precisely what all COVID-19 vaccines aimed for, and that was what all Phase 3 trial results show. Here is a table I created from the initial Phase 3 trials of the major vaccines in March 2021:
COVID-19 Vaccine

Fact #2 : Pfizer CEO Did Not Claim COVID-19 Vaccine Prevent Transmission
On April 1, 2021, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla posted about a small South African trial in which 800 people vaccinated with the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine did not get infected.
Although he could have been much clearer, he did not say that the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine prevents transmission. He later clarified that it only shows that the vaccine produced a “robust neutralising antibody response” to a specific variant.
800 participants enrolled in South Africa with 0 cases of #COVID19 observed in the vaccinated group. Of the cases observed the majority were confirmed to be of the B.1.351 lineage, the prevalent strain in South Africa.
These data support previous results from immunogenicity studies demonstrating a robust neutralizing antibody response to the B.1.351 variant.
Fact #3 : It Is Quite Impossible To Prevent Transmission Of COVID-19
Anti-vaccination activists are harping on the prevention of transmission, because it’s a red herring – they know that it is quite impossible to prevent the transmission of COVID-19.
The SARS-CoV-2 virus is primarily a respiratory virus that spreads by droplets and aerosols, but it is highly contagious, and can infect people through their eyes and mouths, and even through fomites (contaminated surfaces) – albeit, this is relatively rare.
The point is – vaccines are not force fields that repel the SARS-CoV-2 virus. They are basically training camps that teach our own immune system how to identify the virus, so they can make their own antibodies against it.
Even in a fully-vaccinated person, the antibodies only work after the virus enters the bloodstream. The antibodies cannot block or repel the virus, which is why the vaccine trials looked at preventing “symptomatic infections” and not preventing “infections”.
Similarly, the immune systems of vaccinated people are capable of preventing the virus from causing serious harm, but they can only partially block transmission by preventing the virus from replicating as much as it would normally be capable of.
The immune systems of vaccinated people, unfortunately, cannot do anything about virus particles that get inhaled into the lungs and then exhaled into the environment in respiratory droplets and aerosols.
I should point out that “natural immunity” from a prior COVID-19 infection cannot block or prevent transmission of COVID-19 either. So why should anyone insist that vaccines, whether Pfizer or otherwise, must prevent transmission of COVID-19?
Regardless of what the two men who questioned Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla may claim, the truth is – COVID-19 vaccines have proven to be effective in preventing severe disease and death from COVID-19 infections.
That is how most of the world was able to reopen without COVID-infected patients swamping hospitals and ICUs, as we saw throughout 2020 and early 2021.
Yes, fully-vaccinated people are still getting infected by COVID-19, but they no longer need to be hospitalised, and most of them no longer die from a COVID-19 infection.
Again, COVID-19 vaccines were designed to prevent severe illness and death, not transmission or infection. They have done an excellent job in those aspects.
Fact #5 : COVID-19 Vaccine Efficacy Changes Against Variants
Like the influenza virus, the SARS-CoV-2 virus mutates rapidly – every infected person is literally a virus factory that is capable of producing new variants.
New virus variants may differ enough that the antibodies created by our own immune system may not attach to them properly.
This “immune escape” problem exists for people who obtained “natural immunity” through a COVID-19 infection, as much as those who are fully-vaccinated.
Each new variant is like an army that has learned to adapt to the battlefield, which is why the vaccines’ efficacy appear to “drop” with each variant.
It does not mean the vaccines do not work as advertised. Those vaccines still maintain the same efficacy against the ancestral COVID-19 virus that they were all tested against. It’s just that the antibodies they trigger may be less capable of attaching properly to the newer variants.
Fact #6 : Protection From Natural Immunity Is Reduced Against Variants Too
Antibodies created by our immune system from a prior COVID-19 infection – the “natural immunity” promoted by anti-vaccination activists, are also less effective against new variants.
That’s why people with natural immunity can and still do get infected again and again with new variants of COVID-19.
That is why it is important to develop new versions of the vaccines to deal with new COVID-19 variants that develop over time.
Sure, you can improve your immunity by repeatedly getting infected by new variants of COVID-19, but why not give your immune system a head start by getting the improved bivalent vaccines that are designed to better handle the Omicron variants?

Olga Taran refutes claims of Kremlin and crypto ties to her Russian billionaire husband, Vyacheslav Taran, who died in a helicopter crash!
Earlier : Russian Billionaire Vyacheslav Taran Dies In Helicopter Crash!
Russian billionaire Vyacheslav Taran died in a helicopter crash in rather mysterious circumstances on Friday, November 25, 2022.
On that fateful day, he was flying from Lausanne, Switzerland in a single-engined H130 helicopter back to his home in Monaco, when it crashed near the resort town of Villefranche-sur-Mer in good, clear weather.
He was supposed to be travelling with another unidentified passenger on this flight, but that passenger cancelled at the last minute.
Both Vyacheslav Taran, 53, and the 35 year-old French helicopter pilot were killed in the crash.
The deputy public prosecutor of Nice who visited the crash scene, said that the fault of a third party could not yet be ruled out.
Vyacheslav Taran is the co-founder of the trading and investment platform, Libertex, as well as the founder and CEO of the Forex Club group of companies.
As I noted earlier, Taran’s unexpected death will likely spur conspiracy theories, coming just two days after Tiantian Kullander died in his sleep, and just weeks after Nikolas Mushegian apparently drowned after tweeting about an alleged plot by the CIA and Mossad to murder him.
It also seems to be a dangerous time for Russian businessmen, who are dying in mysterious circumstances both in Russia, and overseas. Just in September alone:

Olga Taran Refutes Kremlin + Crypto Links To Husband’s Death!
Vyacheslav Taran’s wife – Olga Taran – who is the Editor-in-Chief of HelloMonaco, spoke out just days after the accident against the allegations that her husband was involved with the Kremlin, or was a Russian spy.
She also pointed out that Vyacheslav left Russia in 2008, and supported Ukrainian charities since 2014.
As you know, Viacheslav Taran died in a tragic helicopter crash last week. I have lost a loving husband and a father of three of our children. It is intolerably painful for me to realize that we will never see him again. But, it is even more difficult to stay silent when someone is spreading lies about my beloved Viacheslav.
The Ukrainian news website UNIAN.net published a story that my husband allegedly was a billionaire and was involved in money laundering for Russian elites and on top of that they claimed him to be a Russian spy. All of this is outrageous and manifests an absolute and utter lie. My husband never had any connections to the Russian government or any political affiliations. He left Russia to pursue and focus on his business interests back in 2008.
Moreover, since 2014 my late husband has constantly supported charitable foundation Changeonelife.ua and since the very first days, when the war broke down, Viacheslav with his friends created Pristaniste.me a charitable foundation for Ukrainian refugees in Montenegro which accepted first refugees on 5th of March, 2022 and still is actively helping the Ukrainians in need.
This attack is unfair to Viacheslav who always actively supported supported Ukrainian people through his charity foundations, especially children who lost their parents.
Furthermore, I urge all Western journalists who cite UNIAN.net to stop spreading the lies (Will Steward and Rachael Bunyan from Daily Mail, Aliki Kraterou from The Sun). My children have already been bullied because of these accusations and I am concerned for their safety.
I understand that you do not know Viacheslav personally and reading these cynical articles one may consider them to be true, but everyone who knows Viacheslav, including the entire Monaco community knows it to be an absolute lie.
Please do not tarnish his good name and memory. We still have not received Viacheslav’s body due to the investigation and each day brings unbearable pain.
Olga Taran later issued another statement, refuting that her husband’s death was anything “mysterious”, or related to the recent deaths of crypto entrepreneurs like Tiantian Kullander and Nikolai Mushegian.
She pointed out that cryptocurrency was simply one of the markets he invested in, and that he was not a “crypto billionaire” because he invested more into blockchain and cryptocurrency than he ever got out of it.
Following the tragic death of Vyacheslav Taran, a devoted husband and loving father of three, we have been greatly distressed by the publication of false and inaccurate information that has tarnished his name and we would like to set the record straight.
Vyacheslav Taran was a successful businessman and serial entrepreneur, who was also an investor in various fintech startups, including some that worked with cryptocurrencies. He was definitely not a “crypto billionaire” and one might argue that he invested more in blockchain and crypto technology than he ever got out of it.
We categorically deny that he was involved in any way with the Russian Intelligence services or the Russian government in any capacity and we also categorically deny that he was involved in money laundering for Russian “elites” or in any other illegal activity. These are completely unfounded fabrications and outright lies, which have compounded our grief at this very difficult time.
Vyacheslav Taran was born in Russia but had lived and worked overseas since 2008, before settling in Monaco with his family more than a decade ago.
The circumstances surrounding the accident are still being investigated, mainly because of the nature of the accident. It is obviously a lengthy process, as is any investigation into accidents involving any type of aircraft. There is nothing “mysterious” about it and everyone should wait until the investigation is fully completed before jumping to conclusions or speculating about crazy conspiracy theories. We fully support the authorities in their investigation and eagerly await their findings being made public in due course.
Our beloved Vyacheslav was also a great philanthropist, having contributed to numerous charity organisations and was the co-founder of the Change One Life Foundation, which to this day has helped more than 30,000 orphaned children find families and live fulfilling lives.
Above all, he was a loyal and supportive friend, husband and father and we would politely request that his memory is not dishonoured by false information or baseless speculation.

Russian crypto billionaire Vyacheslav Taran has died after his helicopter crashed near Monaco!
Russian Crypto Billionaire Vyacheslav Taran Dies In Helicopter Crash!
Russian billionaire Vyacheslav Taran is now the third cryptocurrency entrepreneur to die under mysterious circumstances in recent weeks.
Vyacheslav Taran is the co-founder of the trading and investment platform, Libertex, as well as the founder and CEO of the Forex Club group of companies..
On Friday, 25 November 2022, he flew from Lausanne, Switzerland in a single-engined H130 helicopter back to his home in Monaco, when it crashed near the resort town of Villefranche-sur-Mer in good, clear weather.
He was supposed to be travelling with another unidentified passenger on this flight, but that passenger cancelled at the last minute.
Both Vyacheslav Taran, 53, and the 35 year-old French helicopter pilot were killed in the crash.
The deputy public prosecutor of Nice who visited the crash scene, said that the fault of a third party could not yet be ruled out.
Taran’s unexpected death will likely spur conspiracy theories, coming just two days after Tiantian Kullander died in his sleep, and just weeks after Nikolas Mushegian apparently drowned after tweeting about an alleged plot by the CIA and Mossad to murder him.
It also seems to be a dangerous time for Russian businessmen, who are dying in mysterious circumstances both in Russia, and overseas. Just in September alone:
28 September 2022 : Pavel Pchelnikov allegedly shot himself on the balcony of his Moscow apartment.
21 September 2022 : Anatoly Gerashchenko died after falling down a flight of stairs in Moscow.
10 September 2022 : Ivan Pechorin fell from his boat and drowned at Cape Ignatyev in Vladivostok.
1 September 2022 : Ravil Maganov – the chairman of Lukoil, “fell out of a window” in the Kremlin Hospital.
Libertex Group On Death Of Co-Founder, Vyacheslav Taran
In an official statement, the Libertex Group confirmed its co-founder’s death, and described Taran as “kind-hearted, polite and humble”.
It is with great sadness that Libertex Group confirms the death of its co-founder and Chairman of Board of Directors, Vyacheslav Taran, after a helicopter crash that took place en route to Monaco on Friday, 25 November 2022.
The Board of Directors of Libertex Group and company employees extend their most heartfelt condolences and sympathy to the Taran family. Vyacheslav is survived by his wife Olga and three children.
Vyacheslav Taran was a fintech entrepreneur and a published author, with long-standing experience in the financial industry. In 1997, he co-founded what was to eventually become the trading and investing platform Libertex.
A well-known and highly respected businessman, described as kind-hearted, polite and humble by everyone who was fortunate enough to know him, Taran was a true visionary. His vision and direction have made Libertex what it is today: his “dream company to work for” that he often described to colleagues in speeches and internal memos as “a company whose services and products I use myself and am willing to recommend to my relatives and friends.”
Taran was also devoted to giving back to the community and always rushed to help those in need, particularly children. He co-founded Change One Life, a charitable foundation helping children from orphanages and child-care institutions to find families and live fulfilling lives. To this day, Change One Life has helped more than 30,000 orphaned children.
Vyacheslav Taran will be missed more than words can express, and everyone at Libertex will eternally be grateful for what he has accomplished.
We kindly ask that during this difficult and extremely painful time, the family’s privacy is respected.
Libertex Group would also like to extend its condolences to the family of the pilot.

Is former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak staying in a swanky prison, after his conviction for corruption in the 1MDB financial scandal?!
Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Najib Razak Is Staying In This Swanky Prison!
People are sharing a viral photo, and posts, claiming that former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak is staying in a swanky prison, after his conviction for corruption in the 1MDB financial scandal.
Here are a few examples of the posts that normally accompanies the viral photo (with our English translation where necessary):
PENJARA UNTUK VIP.
Penjara atau bilik tahanan untuk VIP tak sama seperti bilik banduan biasa.
Jangan terkejut , Bilik penjara VIP mungkin aksesnya lebih hebat berbanding rumah orang awam.
Diberi tv , internet , buku , aircond dan katil tilam berkualiti tinggi.
PRISON FOR VIP Prison or holding room for VIP is not the same as the standard prison room. Don’t be shocked. VIP prison room may have better facilities than a common person’s house. Includes TV, Internet, book, air-conditioning and high-quality bed and mattress.
Najib isn’t in a cell. A good friend whose cousin is a senior prison officer at Kajang said Najib is given a house within the prison grounds.
These houses are meant for senior prison officers.
Claim : Najib Razak Is Staying In This Swanky Prison!
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS circulating on WhatsApp and social media like Facebook and Twitter, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Prison Quarters Are Not Within Prison Compound
Malaysian prisons have staff quarters on campus for junior officers, but senior officers generally live off-campus.
Even so, the prison staff quarters are not located within the prison compound, but in a separate area some distance away.
This satellite map shows you just how far the Kajang Prison quarters are from the main prison complex.
It is therefore impossible for the Kajang Prison to allocate one of these quarters for Najib Razak’s use.
Fact #2 : Viral Photo Was Of Swiss Prison
The viral photo of the swanky prison room that was allegedly arranged for Najib Razak was actually taken in 2011.
It does not show any prison cell or accommodation in the Kajang Prison. It is a photo of a 3-inmate cell at the Champ-Dollon Prison in Switzerland.
The Champ-Dollon Prison was notorious for overcrowding, so the Swiss government refurbished the cells to make them more spacious. The new prison cells now accommodate 3 prisoners, and even comes with an attached bathroom!
This photo was taken by the Swiss news agency Keystone-SDA when the newly refurbished rooms were unveiled in July 2011.
The official caption for this photo is in French, but translates to “View of a cell for three inmates during new annex’s inaguration on July 25, 2011, in Thonex, near Geneva“.
Fact #3 : Malaysia Prisons Department Refutes Claims
On 24 August 2022, the Malaysia Prisons Department (Jabatan Penjara Malaysia) refuted the viral claims and photo, and again on 7 September 2022.
It also stated that Najib Razak will not be accorded any special treatment, and stressed that all prisoners will be treated the same.
Fact #4 : Najib Razak Already Had Some Preferential Treatment
Najib Razak was already shown some preferential treatment by being taken to the Kajang Prison in a Volvo SUV, with a rather large police escort.
However, there is really no evidence (yet) that he received any preferential treatment inside the Kajang Prison.
Many netizens are calling for the Malaysia Prisons Department to post photos of Najib Razak’s prison cell to assure them that he is not getting preferential treatment. However, that is unlikely to happen.

Did WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus refuse to get the COVID-19 vaccine, despite promoting it in public?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : WHO Boss Dr. Tedros Refused The COVID-19 Vaccine!
Anti-vaccination activists are promoting a short video clip which they are claiming is evidence that the WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus himself refused to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
The video was cut to a 35-second segment, which apparently showed Dr. Tedros admitting that he refused to get the COVID-19 vaccine. It’s often accompanied with comments like :
Tedros not jabbed? Well who’d have thoughts?
Tedros, who demanded that the whole world be jabbed, is still not vaxxed???
Tedros of the WHO has not been jabbed and he admits it.
Truth : Dr. Tedros Received COVID-19 Vaccine In May 2021!
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Clip Was From A Documentary
First, let’s establish some facts about the viral video clip.
The HBO documentary was released on March 29, 2022.
The 35-second segment that went viral was recorded on June 12, 2021.
Fact #2 : Dr. Tedros Delayed His Vaccination
Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus had early access to the COVID-19 vaccine in Geneva, Switzerland
However, he delayed his vaccination in solidarity with low-income countries that lacked access to those vaccines.
Even in the viral video clip, he pointed out that he was delaying his COVID-19 vaccination in protest.
Fact #3 : Dr. Tedros Was Vaccinated On May 12, 2021
Dr. Tedros eventually received his COVID-19 vaccination on May 12, 2021, which he announced in a tweet.
He literally waited until two months after Ethiopia started its national COVID-19 vaccination campaign, to get his own COVID-19 vaccine.
I should also point out that the viral video clip was recorded a month after his first vaccination, which meant Dr. Tedros was likely fully-vaccinated when the interview was conducted.
Today it was my turn to get vaccinated @Hopitaux_unige against #COVID19. Vaccines save lives. It’s critical to get them to all counties A.S.A.P. If like me you live in a country where vaccines are available, please get vaccinated when it’s your turn. pic.twitter.com/ioNMLH5TW9
— Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus (@DrTedros) May 12, 2021
Fact #4 : Clip Was Edited To Remove His Full Response
What was most damning though is the fact that the viral video clip was edited to make it look like Dr. Tedros was not vaccinated.
Here is a transcript of the interview (with the removed responses highlighted in red)
Interviewer : I want to ask you about your own vaccination. You got your first shot… when?
Dr. Tedros : May 12
Interviewer : You’re the head of WHO. You could have said in December 2020, I’m ready. Why did you wait?
Dr. Tedros : You know still I feel like I know where I belong… in a poor country called Ethiopia… in a poor continent called Africa.
With the privileges I have here, maybe I had a chance to have it first. I don’t want to use that, because I want to be reminded every day that vaccination should start in Africa.
I want to wait until Africa and other countries in other regions – low-income countries – start vaccination.
I have a background as a health worker and I’m in one of the risk groups. They were beginning to vaccinate health workers and risk groups [in Africa] around that time, so I thought that was my turn.
I was checking my turn, actually, compared to what I would have in Africa, not in Geneva. So I was protesting, in other words.
Interviewer : How did it feel once you got vaccinated?
Dr. Tedros : I’m still feeling that we’re failing. I was having my shot with disappointment because we are failing…
In short – Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus delayed his own COVID-19 vaccination in protest of vaccine inequality.
Not because he didn’t believe in the COVID-19 vaccines, but because he was deeply disappointed in the unequal access to COVID-19 vaccines that was especially poor in the African continent.
COVID-19 vaccines underwent massive clinical trials, and were only approved after they were proven to be safe and effective.
In addition, they were constantly monitored after they received their approvals, which picked up rare side effects after they were administered to billions of people.
Anti-vaccination activists have often claimed that those who received the vaccine would die. Yet, the opposite was true – the vaccines are not only safe, they are effective in protecting people from getting hospitalised or dying from COVID-19.
Even prominent antivaxxer Steve Kirsch is healthy and well, despite being fully-vaccinated against COVID-19!

Did Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla say that one of his goals was to cut world population to 50% by the year 2023?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Pfizer CEO Aims To Cut World Population By 50%!
Anti-vaccination activists are sharing a video that shows Pfizer CEO speaking at the World Economic Forum, saying :
I think that it’s really fulfilling of a dream that we had together with my leadership team when we started in ’19.
The first week we met, in January of ‘19 in California, and set up the goals for the next five years. And one of them was by 2023, we would reduce the number of people in the world by 50%.
I think today, this dream is becoming reality.
Are you shocked? Well, you would be even more shocked by the truth…
Truth : Pfizer CEO Does Not Aim To Cut World Population By 50%!
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created by anti-vaccination activists to scare people from protecting themselves against COVID-19, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Video Was Recorded At WEF In May 2022
First, let us establish some basic facts about this video.
The full video shows WEF founder Klaus Schwab having a conversation with Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla
The viral video clip is a 30-second segment that starts at 2:36 minute of the full video.
The video was recorded at the 2022 World Economic Forum Annual Meeting
It was live-streamed on May 25, 2022 at about 2 PM CEST.
Fact #2 : Viral Video Was Edited
What you may not have noticed was that the viral video was edited, to remove the words “that cannot afford our medicines“.
If you watch the full video from the 2:36 minute point, you will see that Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla actually say :
And one of them was by 2023, we would reduce the number of people in the world that cannot afford our medicines by 50%.
By removing that small segment, the edited video makes Albert Bourla appear to say that it was his dream to reduce the world population to 50% by 2023.
It is frankly really stupid for anti-vaccination activists to claim that Big Pharma wants to reduce the world’s population.
Who do you think they sell their vaccines and medicines to? Aliens???
For Big Pharma to make tons of money, they need the world’s population to expand, not contract.
If they cut down the world’s population by 50%, that’s 50% fewer people to buy their drugs and vaccines.
Fact #4 : World’s Population Has Been Steadily Increasing
Regardless of whatever you may believe that the Pfizer CEO may have said, the fact still remains – the world’s population has not stopped increasing over time.
In fact, the world’s population is projected to hit 8 BILLION people on 15 November 2022!
The claim that Pfizer is achieving its dream of reducing the world’s population by half by 2023 is just ludicrous.
COVID-19 vaccines underwent massive clinical trials, and were only approved after they were proven to be safe and effective.
In addition, they were constantly monitored after they received their approvals, which picked up rare side effects after they were administered to billions of people.
Anti-vaccination activists have often claimed that those who received the vaccine would die. Yet, the opposite was true – the vaccines are not only safe, they are effective in protecting people from getting hospitalised or dying from COVID-19.

Is Interpol investigating World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab for crimes against humanity, and genocide?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Interpol Is Investigating Klaus Schwab For Genocide!
Vancouver Times followed up with their Dr. Tedros arrest story, with a story claiming that Interpol is now investigating World Economic Forum (WEF) founder Klaus Schwab for crimes against humanity and genocide!
It’s a long post, so feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!
Klaus Schwab, head of the WEF, is under investigation for mass murder (genocide) and crimes against humanity, according to several sources at Interpol. Schwab faces the death penalty if he is charged and convicted.
Schwab was picked up by Interpol’s radar after he became clear he was using a combination of kickbacks and extortion to pull strings in countries around the world. Schwab is accused of giving the order to Trudeau to murder the Canadian population with deadly, untested vaccines.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus of the WHO recently arrived in Holland, after being charged with crimes against humanity and genocide. He was caught trying to travel to Africa with a bag full of cash and expensive jewelry. He is expected to plead not guilty, and is in the process of hiring a lawyer.
Agents at Intepol confirmed with Vancouver Times that there is a parallel investigation into Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau as well as Microsoft founder / fake doctor Bill Gates. Both are suspected of engaging in mass murder and crimes against humanity.
The mainstream media and big tech want to hide the truth. Beat them at their own game by sharing this article!
Truth : Interpol Is Not Investigating Klaus Schwab For Genocide!
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created by Vancouver Times to generate page views and money from gullible people.
Fact #1 : Vancouver Times Is A Fake News Website
Vancouver Times is a “content aggregator” (copy and paste) website that is known for creating fake news to generate more page views and money.
To look legitimate, they copy and paste news from legitimate news organisations. To drive traffic, they create fake news, sometimes masked as “satire”.
To give themselves a veneer of deniability, they label themselves as a “satire website” in their About Us section.
Vancouver Times is the most trusted source for satire on the West Coast. We write satirical stories about issues that affect conservatives.
Here are some of their fake news that we debunked :
Fact #2 : Interpol Is Not Investigating Klaus Schwab
Just in case you are wondering, INTERPOL is not investigating Klaus Schwab. And no, Vancouver Times did not score an exclusive interview with INTERPOL agents.
INTERPOL would never discuss an active case with the media, and certainly not a copy + paste website like Vancouver Times.
It’s Vancouver Times’ signature disinformation move – claiming to have exclusive sources. It’s nothing but bullshit.
Fact #3 : INTERPOL Has No Jurisdiction In Any Country
INTERPOL is an international organisation that facilitates police cooperation between different countries.
It acts as a liaison between police organisations, and does NOT have any jurisdiction in any country.
INTERPOL does NOT the power to arrest or charge anyone of any crime in any country around the world.
Investigation, arrest and prosecution of any crime is conducted by the individual country’s police force, not INTERPOL.
Fact #4 : There Is No Death Penalty In Switzerland
Switzerland abolished the death penalty for most capital offences in 1942, and the remaining capital offences in 1992.
So Klaus Schwab most definitely does NOT face the death penalty, regardless of whatever crime he is accused of.
Fact #5 : Bill Gates + Klaus Schwab Were “Arrested” Before
To bait conspiracy theorists and anti-vaccination activists into sharing their fake news, Vancouver Times falsely claimed that both Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab are under investigation, and could soon be arrested.
They were both falsely claimed to have been arrested last year, by the infamous Conservative Beaver – a fake news website like Vancouver Times.
There are so many similarities between Conservative Beaver and Vancouver Times that it is possible that they were created by the same people.
Fact #6 : Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus Was Not Arrested For Genocide
Vancouver Times made up the fake story that INTERPOL arrested Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus for crimes against humanity.
That never happened. They only created that story to drive traffic to their website, which must not be doing well despite their prolific copying and pasting of other people’s articles.
Fact #7 : WEF Has No Powers / Jurisdiction In Canada
The World Economic Forum (WEF) is an independent NGO and lobbying organisation based in Switzerland.
It has no powers or jurisdiction over healthcare policies in Canada, which incidentally does not have a vaccine mandate, despite what anti-vaccination activists claim.
Vancouver Times made up the false claim that Klaus Schwab ordered Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to force the COVID-19 vaccines on Canadians, to bait anti-vaccination activists into sharing their fake story.
Fact #8 : There Is No Such Thing As A Publication Ban
Vancouver Times likes to use the “media blackout” claim, to explain why you can’t find any reputable media outlet reporting on INTERPOL’s investigation of Klaus Schwab.
That’s utter and complete bullshit. No one – not a judge, not even the Swiss government – can control the worldwide media, or prevent anyone from writing about his arrest.
You can also be sure that even if the mainstream media refused to run the story, it would have been reported by many other websites and bloggers.
Yet, not a single blogger or online website published their account of this incredible story? That’s because IT NEVER HAPPENED…
Fact #9 : Mainstream Media + Big Tech Would Have Loved The Hype
Vancouver Times is gaslighting you about how mainstream media and Big Tech want to hide the “truth” about INTERPOL’s (non-existent) investigation of Klaus Schwab.
They would all loved such shocking news, because it would have driven tons of traffic and engagement to their websites / platforms.
In fact, that was precisely why Vancouver Times created the fake story – to drive traffic, for the ad money.
Everything that Vancouver Times publishes should be regarded as FAKE NEWS, until proven otherwise.

The WHO has convened an emergency meeting on the monkeypox outbreak that has spread to 56 countries!
Here is what you need to know…
WHO Convenes Emergency Meeting On Monkeypox Outbreak!
On 23 June 2022, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus convened an emergency committee meeting under Article 48 of the International Health Regulations to discuss the current monkeypox outbreak.
Chaired by Dr. Jean-Marie Okwo-Bele and Dr. Nicola Low, this emergency WHO meeting on monkeypox is only open to members and advisors of the Emergency Committee.
The findings of this emergency meeting would be conveyed to the Director-General of WHO, on whether the outbreak should be classified as a public health emergency of international concern, and also on potential recommendations on how to address it.
This meeting comes as an NGO called World Health Network (unrelated to WHO) issued a press release describing the current monkeypox outbreak as a “pandemic”, urging “immediate and effective action” from country and global health authorities.
This led to a bit of confusion, as their names and acronyms were similar (WHO vs WHN). To be clear, WHO has not declared a monkeypox pandemic.
Over 4,000 Monkeypox Cases Confirmed In 56 Countries!
Discovered in 1958, the first human infection was only reported in 1970, and there were only like 400 cases from 1970 to 1986.
Monkeypox became more common over time, with 2000 cases per year reported between 2011 and 2014, and several outbreaks in the US (2003 and 2021), UK (2018 and 2021), and Singapore (2019)..
However, nothing has come close to the 2022 monkeypox outbreak which has now affected at least 56 countries outside of endemic African countries, with over 4,000 cases!

Over 560 monkeypox cases have now been confirmed in at least 25 countries outside of Africa!
Find out if the monkeypox outbreak could become a new pandemic we have to worry about!
Over 560 Monkeypox Cases Confirmed In 25 Countries!
People are now worried about the rapid spread of monkeypox globally. although the WHO has said that it is unlikely to become a pandemic like COVID-19.
Discovered in 1958, the first human infection was only reported in 1970, and there were only like 400 cases from 1970 to 1986.
Monkeypox became more common over time, with 2000 cases per year reported between 2011 and 2014, and several outbreaks in the US (2003 and 2021), UK (2018 and 2021), and Singapore (2019)..
However, nothing has come close to the 2022 monkeypox outbreak which has now affected at least 25 countries outside of Africa, with over 560 cases!

Monkeypox Cases May Increase, But Unlikely To Become Pandemic
On 30 May 2022, the World Health Organisation’s top monkeypox expert, Dr. Rosamund Lewis, gave a public briefing on the 2022 monkeypox outbreak.
Here is a summary of the key points Dr. Lewis shared in that public session :
She does not expect the monkeypox outbreak to turn into another pandemic like COVID-19.
There are still many unknowns about this outbreak, including how exactly it is spreading.
The suspension of mass smallpox immunisation decades ago may have resulted in increased transmission.
Vast majority of current cases seen in gay, bisexual or men who have sex with men.
There is a higher proportion of people with fewer visible lesions that are more concentrated in the genital region, and sometimes nearly impossible to see. This is a danger because they are infectious even though their lesions are not visible.
There is a window of opportunity to shut down the outbreak so it does not become endemic in new areas.
Fortunately, the 2022 monkeypox outbreak appears to be of the less virulent West African strain, because there is no proven treatment.
The smallpox vaccine can offer up to 85% protection against monkeypox, and certain antiviral treatments can be attempted.
But otherwise – hospitals can only offer supportive treatment as the patient isolates for 2-4 weeks until the disease resolves.
Monkeypox primarily spreads through close contact, but can spread through respiratory droplets. However, it is far less contagious and is not airborne like COVID-19.
Infected people are also not considered contagious until they start showing symptoms, which limits transmission. This is unlike COVID-19 which is often spread by people who are asymptomatic.
The best way to describe its ability to infect people would be to understand its R0 (Reproduction Number, pronounced as R naught) – how many people an infected person is expected to pass the disease along to.
The ancestral COVID-19 virus has an R0 of between 2 to 3, which increased to 8 with the Omicron variant. That’s really contagious – every infected person will (on average) transmit the virus to 8 other people.
On the other hand, past outbreaks of monkeypox had an R0 of less than one. That means even though there may be clusters of several cases, even outbreaks, the cases die out on their own.

Monkeypox fortunately does not spread very efficiently between humans. Generally, you need to have skin-to-skin contact with an infected person, or come into contact with his/her bodily fluids, to get infected.
The people most at risk would be close contacts of the infected person, like family members or healthcare workers taking care of them.
Transmission is really happening from close physical contact, skin-to-skin contact. It’s quite different from COVID in that sense.
– Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, WHO Infectious Disease Epidemiologist
It’s not as highly transmissible as something like smallpox, or measles, or certainly not Covid. It does not spread easily from person to person, the risk to the general public is low.
– Anne Rimoin, infectious disease epidemiologist at University of California.
That is why it is very unlikely to become a pandemic, although if it spreads to susceptible rodent populations, it could become endemic in those areas.
There is also the fact that the monkeypox is so closely related to the smallpox virus, the smallpox vaccine offers 85% protection against monkeypox infections.
In fact, one smallpox vaccine – JYNNEOS – was approved in the United States to serve as protection against monkeypox. Even though there is no public access to this vaccine, that can quickly change.
Several countries, including the United States, have strategic reserves of smallpox vaccines, which can be deployed in a monkeypox outbreak.
Countries have also started purchasing smallpox vaccines :
19 May 2022 : Spain’s Ministry of Health announced that it was in the process of purchasing thousands of doses of smallpox vaccines
24 May 2022 : CDC announced that the US is in the process of releasing some JYNNEOS smallpox vaccine doses for people who are “high risk”.
25 May 2022 : the German government announced that it was buying 40,000 doses of the JYNNEOS smallpox vaccine from Bavarian Nordic.
26 May 2022 : the UK Health Security Agency announced that it purchased 20,000 doses of the JYNNEOS smallpox vaccine from Bavarian Nordic.

We have already worked to secure sufficient supply of effective treatments and vaccines to prevent those exposed from contracting monkeypox and treating people who’ve been affected.

People are sharing a post by Li Guangman on what China should worry about the Russia-Ukraine War.
Take a look at the viral post, and find out what the facts really are!
Li Guangman : What China Should Worry About Russia Invading Ukraine!
Chinese and pro-China netizens have been sharing this post by Chinese blogger Li Guangman on what lessons China should learn from the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
It’s a very long post, so feel free to skip to the next section for the facts…
Some worries brought about by the Russia-Ukraine war (says Li Guangman)
After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the robbery behavior in the entire Western world broke many Chinese people’s perceptions, which made me feel a strong and deep worry.
First, in the past, the Chinese generally believed that all public platforms were neutral and would not be interrupted no matter what happened. However, after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, some so-called public platforms immediately announced their participation in sanctions against Russia. First, a large number of foreign Internet service operators headed by the United States announced sanctions against Russia and launched a “disconnection action” against Russia. The second is the removal of major Russian banks from the U.S.-controlled SWIFT system, making it impossible for major Russian banks to conduct global transactions and settlements. Both the network root directory system and the U.S. dollar settlement system are so-called public platforms controlled by the United States. Once a war breaks out, all of them will become weapons of war, and even become a key factor in determining the victory of the war. The greater the reliance on these systems, the more victims will suffer, the deeper the degree.
Second, some previous propaganda told us that satellites in space are safe and will not be attacked, and space wars will not break out. However, immediately after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, a mysterious hacker group (obviously the cyber army behavior of some government organizations) attacked the Russian space control center, and claimed to have shut down the Russian space center and successfully made all Russian satellites out of control. The Russian space control center said it was indeed attacked, but the security system automatically obscured the attack and repelled it. Does this suggest that warfare has extended into space? Are space battles going on all the time?
Third, the Chinese generally believe that banks in Western countries are safer than domestic banks, and Western countries attach great importance to the sacrosanctity of private property. However, after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian War, the entire Western countries immediately erupted with ferocity like hungry wolves, killing Russia. All the assets of the government and private individuals overseas were looted, not only the bank assets were frozen, but even the luxury yachts and private residences of the Russians overseas were taken away. According to preliminary statistics, the total amount of Russian overseas assets frozen by Western groups this time is about 8 trillion US dollars. Li Ka-shing, who had previously cashed out hundreds of billions of yuan from China and switched to the UK, has recently started selling grid assets worth more than 100 billion yuan in the UK. What does that mean? These capital tycoons who have no motherland and no conscience are finally starting to feel unsafe to invest overseas. What is China’s total overseas assets? Some people estimate that the total overseas assets of the Chinese government, enterprises and individuals are about 16 trillion US dollars, which is roughly equivalent to China’s annual GDP. To freeze US Treasury bonds purchased by China. Once a conflict breaks out between China and the United States or between China and Western countries, the United States and Western countries will definitely take action against China’s overseas assets, which is certain.
Fourth, in the consciousness of the Chinese, Switzerland is a neutral country, and it is absolutely safe to store money in Switzerland. However, after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, Switzerland immediately gave up its neutral position, announced its participation in sanctions against Russia, and froze all Russian funds in Swiss banks thus uncovering the hypocrisy that Switzerland is a pure financial land. How much assets do Chinese people deposit in Switzerland? These assets are probably no longer safe now.
Fifth, after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, almost all high-tech companies in the United States and Western groups announced their participation in sanctions against Russia. They cut off the supply of chips and all high-tech products to Russia. Musk’s Starlink also participated in the sanctions against Russia. Sanctions and support for Ukraine, Apple is also involved in sanctions, the depth and breadth of the technology sanctions imposed on Russia by the entire West are beyond our imagination, sanctions are imposed on anything that can sting or kill Russia, and the methods are used to the extreme. What science without borders is just bullshit. In this regard, the United States has already used China’s Huawei. In the future, once a conflict between China and the United States breaks out, the United States and the West will definitely impose the most severe sanctions and embargoes on all high-tech products, materials and technologies in China. There is no doubt about this.
Sixth, many Chinese believe that Western public opinion is the freest, and Western news is the most authentic. However, after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the entire Western public opinion has become a public opinion war machine launched against Russia, and the major Internet platforms in the United States and Europe. They have closed Russia’s external communication channels, they control the entire public opinion dissemination, guide public opinion in a direction that is beneficial to the United States and the West, and they continue to create fake news. Once a conflict between China and the United States breaks out, the United States will definitely launch a war of public opinion against China. On the one hand, it strictly seals the voice of China, preventing China from speaking in the world, and on the other hand, it amplifies the negative news that attacks and smears China.
Seventh, there are many other sanctions. For example, the sports, cultural, artistic, and music industries have imposed sanctions on Russia, and even Russian cats and Russian trees have been sanctioned. It looks funny, but it is not funny. A true manifestation of Western political and cultural hegemony, which allows us to see how deep and wide the influence and control of Western hegemony are. These areas that do not seem to belong to politics have suddenly become weapons of war. It has become a tool of war that kills people without blood. This is probably the first time we have such a deep feeling.
The above points should give us a sense of sudden awakening. Now we will truly realize that the Russian-Ukrainian war is actually a real all-out war waged by the entire Western bloc against Russia. In addition to providing arms and funds to Ukraine, the Western bloc is also waging an all-out war against Russia in all fields. These The means of participating in the war are either open or covert, but they are all aimed at the key points of Russia, and both are fatal. If the United States and the Western bloc were not afraid of Russia’s thousands of nuclear bombs, and not afraid of Putin’s strongman character as he said and did, they must have already rushed to bite them directly.
In my opinion, the contradictions between China and the United States and the group of Western countries are irreconcilable and inevitable. All the means and weapons used by the United States and Western groups on Russia today will be used on China, and they will only be more vicious and barbaric, with no exceptions.
There will definitely be conflicts between China and the United States. The United States and Western blocs will definitely cut off China’s Internet connection with the world. They will definitely launch attacks on China’s space satellites and satellite navigation systems. They will definitely drive China out of SWIFT and make China like Russia and Iran. Launching an unprecedented financial war against China will definitely impose stricter and more comprehensive sanctions and blockades on China’s high-tech and high-end manufacturing industries, it will definitely cut off China’s energy transportation channels, and it will definitely launch a war of public opinion against China. To launch a color revolution, it will definitely try to isolate China from the so-called “mainstream” of world politics in all fields. The war will be carried out with unimaginable cruelty and brutality, there will be no so-called morality, and there will be no so-called rules, in addition to life and death, there is no way out.
This comprehensive war launched by the United States and the Western bloc against Russia is a realistic version of the sand table exercise for us, and it is a bloody teaching. We must start to act now, start the layout, and be fully prepared to deal with a comprehensive war that is bound to happen in the future, which is related to the fate of the country and to life and death.
The situation is getting more and more serious, not the storm is coming, but the storm is coming, we must act now, act now, act now, because the hatred of the United States and the entire Western bloc against China is deeper than that of Russia, destroying and the will and impulse to loot China is stronger.
Therefore, the coming war will be more tragic and bloody, there will be no mercy, there will be no reinforcements, everything can only depend on ourselves, on our own strength, on our own preparations, on our own will.”
PS. I have no idea who Li Guangman is, but apparently, some Community Party folks think he’s important, and have been sharing his posts.
Li Guangman Is Wrong About Why China Should Worry About Russia Invading Ukraine
I have no idea if Li Guangman actually wrote that post, but one thing is for sure – it is full of misinformation.
I’m not going to focus on what lessons China should learn from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but I will show you what can be easily and factually proven false in that viral post.
Fact #1 : Corporations Do Not Sanction Countries
Li Guangman falsely claimed (intentionally?) that Internet service providers and social media platforms announced sanctions against Russia after they invaded Ukraine.
That never happened, because corporations don’t issue sanctions. Those corporations only decided to stop working with Russia, after Western countries announced sanctions against Russia.
Cogent Communications, which is the second-largest Internet connectivity provider in Russia, terminated their contracts there on 4 March 2022 to comply with EU Regulation 2022/350.
Fact #2 : Corporations Chose To Stop Doing Business In Russia
Many corporations decided to stop doing business in Russia, mainly because they are public-listed companies that are answerable to their shareholders, and their customers worldwide.
For many, the limited Russian business they conduct is not worth risking their worldwide business, especially when the rest of the world is stridently against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Automotive : Ford, General Motors, Toyota, Volkswagen and Nissan
Aviation : Boeing and Airbus
Finance : Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Western Union, Moody’s, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup
Big Tech : Airbnb, Amazon Web Services, Apple, Hitachi, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Netflix, Nintendo, Sony, Spotify, TikTok
Hotels : Hyatt, Hilton, Marriott
There is also the issue of sanctions – Western sanctions may also prohibit them from selling their products and services to Russia and/or Belarus.
Fact #3 : US Did Not Launch “Disconnection Action” Against Russia
Li Guangman also falsely claimed (intentionally?) that the US launched disconnection action against Russia. That never happened.
The easiest way to do that would be to get ICANN to remove Russian domains from the Internet, which would prevent anyone from accessing any server in Russia.
However, the United States never made such a request. Only Ukraine asked ICANN to do this, but ICANN refused their request.
It is also a very silly claim to make, because it actually benefits the US and Western nations to maintain Internet connectivity to Russia, which allows them to reach out to Russian citizens with the truth.
Fact #4 : Russia Blocked Western Social Media
In fact, Li Guangman (intentionally?) left out the fact that the Russian government itself blocked or restricted access to Western social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
The truth is – it does not benefit Russia to let their citizens access uncensored information about their invasion of Ukraine. That’s why they blocked access to Western social media platforms.
This is where Russia is attempting to mimic China in its control of what information citizens can access. China is the undisputed leader in Internet censorship.
Fact #5 : Russia Prepared To Cut Itself Off The Internet
Li Guangman also (intentionally?) left out the fact that Russia was more than prepared to cut itself from the Internet.
The Russians started working on the ability to cut themselves from the Internet in the early 2010s, testing that ability in 2019 and in subsequent years.
Russian President Vladimir Putin also signed into law, a set of 2019 amendments called the Sovereign Internet Law (Закон о «суверенном интернете»), that lets the government cut Russia off the rest of the Internet.
Fact #6 : SWIFT Is Controlled By EU, Not US
SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications) messaging network is not American, but Belgian, based in La Hulpe, Belgium.
As a cooperative society under Belgian law, SWIFT is owned by its members – financial institutions, not countries. In fact, its current chairman is Yawar Shah of Pakistan, while its CEO is Javier Pérez-Tasso of Spain.
Li Guangman (intentionally?) forgot to point out that the United States and Britain had been pushing for Russia to be banned from SWIFT, but EU nations refused earlier.
In the end, the European Union agreed to remove seven Russian banks from SWIFT, instead of the entire country.
The EU also excluded Sberbank (largest bank in Russia) and Gazprombank from the SWIFT removal, so they could still buy oil from Russia.
All proof that SWIFT is controlled by the EU, not the US.
Fact #7 : SWIFT Is Just A Messaging Service
SWIFT is a messaging system that securely transfers “messages containing the payment instructions between financial institutions involved in a transaction“.
It is not a payment system, and therefore, does not hold any funds. Neither does it perform cleaning or settlement services.
After a payment instruction has been initiated through SWIFT, the corresponding financial institutions must then “settle” the transaction through a payment system, like TARGET2 in Europe.
Fact #8 : SWIFT Removal Is Only An Inconvenience
While removal from SWIFT is a big deal, it is not the end of the world for those seven Russian banks, because it is merely a messaging system.
Banks can use alternative methods like faxes (yes, they still exist!) or alternative messaging systems like Russia’s own SPFS, China’s CIPS and India’s SFMS.
VEB is largely focused on domestic projects, and uses SPFS for overseas transactions
Sovcombank says that other sanctions already block it from making overseas payments, so the SWIFT removal has no impact
Promsvyazbank said that it had prepared for SWIFT removal, so it will not have a significant impact
VTB and Otkritie said that they would not be impacted
So Li Guangman’s claim that SWIFT removal is a weapon of war is… absurd and melodramatic.
Fact #9 : No One Ever Said Satellites Are Safe From Attacks
Li Guangman also falsely claimed (intentionally?) that Western nations had earlier claimed that “satellites are safe and will not be attacked“.
No country ever said that. In fact, the United States Space Force was formed, in part, to protect US satellite communications.
The US Space Force Vice Chief of Space Operations, General David Thompson even shared in November 2021 that :
“Both China and Russia are regularly attacking US satellites with non-kinetic means, including lasers, radio frequency jammers, and cyber attacks… every single day“
Li Guangman seems incredibly naive and ignorant about daily attacks on satellites, because the alternative explanation would be that he knew but intentionally chose to mislead you.
Fact #10 : Anonymous Is Not A Government Organisation
Li Guangman falsely claimed (intentionally?) that Anonymous is “some government organisations”.
Anonymous is a decentralised collective of anonymous hactivists… hence, its name.
It is not a government organisation.
It has previously attacked several Western governments, including the United States
Dozens of people associated with Anonymous cyberattacks have been arrested in the US, UK, Australia, the Netherlands, Spain, India and Turkey.
This is common knowledge, so it is peculiar that Li Guangman is so ignorant about Anonymous… or believes that people are stupid enough to believe him.
Fact #11 : Anonymous Did Not Hack Russian Space Agency
They never shut down the Russian space control centre, or took any Russian satellite out of control. All those are lies that Li Guangman apparently concocted.
Roscosmos Chief Executive, Dmitry Rogozin also denied the claim, saying that “The information of these scammers and petty swindlers is not true. All our space activity control centers are operating normally.‘
So you have to ask yourself – why would Li Guangman lie about this? These are all on public record. Does he believe that you are so gullible that you would believe everything he says?
Fact #12 : Sanctioned Assets Were Frozen, Not Seized
Li Guangman falsely claimed (intentionally?) that the assets of Russian government and private individuals were looted (stolen) by Western banks / governments.
As part of sanctions against the Russian government, Western countries also sanctioned certain Russian individuals, including the super-rich Russian oligarchs.
However, their assets were frozen, not seized. At least, not yet.
All individuals sanctioned by the US Treasury Department, for example, will have their assets frozen. Those assets would be locked up, and cannot be sold or accessed in any way.
The owner has to get a licence from the department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control to do anything – even to just pay property taxes, or fix a leaking roof.
That’s different from the government actually seizing the frozen assets – this requires the government to first prove that they are linked to a crime. Until that happens, the assets have not been “looted”.
According to Michael Parker, head of the anti-money laundering and sanctions practice at Ferrari & Associates :
These cases need to be built, there has to be a showing of some sort of underlying theory of forfeiture, there has to be a reason that they are forfeited. The mere fact that somebody the United States has said is a target owns this asset isn’t enough to form a basis of seizure under U.S. law.
Fact #13 : Only Assets Of Sanctioned Individuals Were Frozen
Li Guangman also falsely claimed (intentionally?) that ALL assets belonging to the Russian government and private individuals were stolen by Western banks / government.
Not only were they not stolen, only assets belonging to sanctioned individuals and the Russian government were frozen. The assets of other Russian individuals were not affected.
Chinese netizens need not be overly concerned about their money stashed in Western banks.
Even if China decides to do something similarly evil like Russia, and invade another country, Western banks will only be forced to freeze the assets of those in power, like Chinese President Xi Jinping, for example.
Fact #14 : Less Than US$1 Trillion Frozen So Far
Li Guangman also falsely claimed (intentionally?) that Western countries froze US$8 trillion worth of assets.
On 5 March, UK Minister Jacob Rees-Mogg tweeted a chart that showed the value of Russian bank assets that were being sanctioned. That was actually criticised as being overly optimistic, but let’s assume it’s true.
That’s a total of £537.6 billion pounds, or US$703.7 billion. Even if you add US$15 billion of assets targeted by sanctioning seven Russian oligarchs, the total is still under US$719 billion.
So Li Guangman overstated the amount of sanctioned Russian assets by some 11X… if not more.

Fact #15 : Switzerland Only Adopts Military Neutrality
Li Guangman appears to be confused by the concept of “Swiss neutrality”, which refers to military neutrality – Switzerland will not be involved in armed or political conflicts between other states.
Switzerland, however, pursues an active foreign policy, and is frequently involved in peace-building processes globally.
Fact #16 : Switzerland Has Adopted EU Sanctions Since 1998
Li Guangman appears to be living in the past, claiming that Switzerland abandoned its neutrality to sanction Russia.
While Switzerland declined to be part of EU, it has been adopting EU-only sanctions for the past 24 years!
1998 : EU sanctions against Yugoslavia
2000 : EU sanctions against Myanmar
2002 : EU sanctions against Zimbabwe
2006 : EU sanctions against Uzbekistan and Belarus
2022 : EU sanctions against Russia and Belarus
Fact #17 : Tech Companies Have To Comply With Sanctions
Li Guangman appears to be surprised that tech companies are complying with sanctions.
Of course, tech companies have to comply with sanctions. If they don’t, they would be legally liable and punished with fines and other legal actions.
In fact, Russia just announced sanctions against a wide range of American officials, including US President Joe Biden. They are expecting companies to comply with those sanctions as well.
We should also remember that China imposed sanctions of her own on US individuals and organisations, and expected companies to comply with their sanctions.
Did he expect companies to only comply with Russian and Chinese sanctions, but not those from Western countries?
Fact #18 : Russia Started The Conflict
Li Guangman claimed that Russia invading of Ukraine is “a real all-out war waged by the entire Western bloc against Russia“. What utter nonsense.
Western nations have repeatedly warned the world that Russia was planning to invade Ukraine since November 2021, even as Russia and pro-Russia forces derided them.
As early as December 2021, US President Joe Biden even threatened Russia with sweeping Western economic sanctions if it invaded Ukraine.
Russia repeatedly denied it was going to invade Ukraine, dismissing those warnings as “hysteria”. But they were lying, and ultimately invaded Ukraine on 24 February 2022.
So let me be clear to Li Guangman and his supporters – the invasion of Ukraine was a war that Russia actively chose to initiate.
This was not a war “waged by the entire Western bloc against Russia“. This was a war that Russia waged against Ukraine.
Until today, the United States and NATO have repeatedly refused to directly defend Ukraine against attacks by Russia. So to call it an “all-out war” is also ludicrous.
This fake news appears to be part of the disinformation campaign conducted by the Chinese 50 Cent Army (wumao, 五毛) to support Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Was World Economic Forum founder, Klaus Schwab, arrested for fraud?
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the FACTS really are!
Claim : WEF Founder Klaus Schwab Was Arrested For Fraud!
Conservative Beaver is hard at work again, this time scoring yet another “exclusive”.
Apparently, he was the only one in the world who found out that Europol arrested World Economic Forum founder Professor Klaus Schwab for fraud!
Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum (WEF), has been arrested at his home in Cologny, Switzerland Friday and charged for multiple counts of fraud. A police source states that he was arrested on request of Europol in relation to crimes he allegedly committed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Klaus Schwab is currently in custody. His lawyer was not immediately available for comment.
According to Wikipedia: the WEF is mostly known for its annual meeting at the end of January in Davos, a mountain resort in Graubünden, in the eastern Alps region of Switzerland. The meeting brings together some 3,000 paying members and selected participants – among which are business leaders, political leaders, economists, celebrities and journalists – for up to five days to discuss global issues across 500 sessions.
According to the AP: The elite gathering typically draws hundreds of well-known government leaders, business executives, civil society advocates and artists, actors and musicians. However, Fox News commentator Laura Ingraham warned Fox News viewers in 2020 the meetings were centered around a globalist plan to “transform civil society.”
Truth : WEF Founder Klaus Schwab Was NOT Arrested For Fraud!
Just like other Conservative Beaver Exclusives, this is just FAKE NEWS. And here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Conservative Beaver Is A Known Fake News Website
The Conservative Beaver is a “news aggregator” (copy and paste) website that is known for creating fake news to generate more page views and money.
4 November 2021 : They wrote a fake story about Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe being arrested and charged with possession of child porn and cocaine. This never happened.
1 November 2021 : They wrote a fake story about an American Airlines plane crashing into the Atlantic ocean after the pilot died from a heart attack, after taking his second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. There was no such plane crash.
On 17 November 2021, spokesperson for both the Swiss federal police department and Europol confirmed with Reuters that both claims are FALSE.
Klaus Schwab was not arrested, never mind charged with fraud.
Fact #3 : Switzerland Is Not Part Of European Union
As a Canadian website, Conservative Beaver was apparently unaware that Switzerland is NOT part of the European Union.
Therefore, the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (EUROPOL) does NOT have any mandate in Switzerland.
EUROPOL can only support EU member states in their own investigations into organised crime across the European Union.
Fact #4 : No Evidence Of Arrest
This may seem obvious, but it has to be pointed out that there is ZERO evidence that Klaus Schwab was ever arrested :
ZERO media coverage – whether in Switzerland, the EU or internationally.
ZERO mention in the EUROPOL Twitter feed, which is very active in listing arrests.
ZERO mention in the WEF Twitter feed, which continues to be actively posting tweets.
Do you really believe that such an arrest would have gone without notice by EVERYONE ELSE in the world, but Conservative Beaver?
The truth is – this is just a FAKE STORY created by Conservative Beaver in a few minutes, just to generate page views and money.
Everything that Conservative Beaver posts should be regarded as FAKE NEWS, until proven otherwise.

Did a new study just prove that chlorine dioxide is effective in curing COVID-19, by eliminating it in 100% of patients?!
Let’s take a closer look at this study, and find out if chlorine dioxide can really cure or prevent COVID-19!
Claim : Chlorine Dioxide Now Proven To Cure COVID-19!
Andreas Kalcker has long promoted chlorine dioxide as a cure for COVID-19, as well as many other diseases.
Recently, he claimed that a new clinical study showed that chlorine dioxide was 100% effective at treating COVID-19.
Here is an excerpt of what he wrote. It’s pretty long, so just skip to the next section for the facts!
You now have the opportunity to read the first multicenter clinical study carried out in several Latin American countries that clearly demonstrates that chlorine dioxide is a fully effective treatment against COVID-19.
The highly satisfactory results of the first multicenter clinical study in humans, on the effectiveness of chlorine dioxide (ClO2) as CDS in the treatment of COVID-19, were successfully published in the scientific journal Journal of Molecular and Genetic Medicine (ISSN: 1747-0862).
This is the first clinical study with chlorine dioxide for therapeutic use in humans, demonstrating with scientific evidence its effectiveness and safety in the treatment for COVID-19. The research focused on studying the effectiveness of the use of ClO2 in patients with SARS-CoV-2, measuring before and after treatment, the clinical symptoms present and laboratory variables based on standardized and accepted scales in research (VAS and Likert) of an experimental group, compared to a control group.
The clinical study showed that chlorine dioxide is effective in patients treated with oral ClO2 and that its use in the COVID-19 pandemic becomes and positions itself as a great hope to control it, based on the scientific foundations revealed in previous research .
Chlorine dioxide was shown to be beneficial in the treatment of COVID-19, making negative RT-PCR at 7 days in one hundred percent of the patients who took it during the clinical study, rapidly mitigating their symptoms associated with this disease, and significantly reducing the laboratory parameters to normal in a space of 14 to 21 days.
In addition, the researchers observed that patients who consumed chlorine dioxide as a treatment for COVID-19 also substantially reduced post-illness symptoms, compared to patients not treated with ClO2.
We are facing a solution that can end the pandemic, now scientifically proven: CDS works and saves lives!
Following this clinical study, physicians around the world now have the right to legally use chlorine dioxide in accordance with the paragraph 37 of the Declaration of Helsinki. The therapeutic use of chlorine dioxide gives new hope to end the COVID-19 pandemic and save millions of lives.
The truth is – chlorine dioxide does NOT cure COVID-19, and is TOXIC.
The study is highly-flawed, and has many errors.
The study was not peer-reviewed or published in a legitimate journal.
Chlorine dioxide only works as a disinfectant, and is only approved for that use at very low concentrations.
Chlorine dioxide is a toxic chemical, which can cause organ failure as well as heart and liver problems.
A 5 year-old Argentinian boy died from multiple organ failure after being treated with chlorine dioxide.
Fact #1 : The Insignares-Carrione Eduardo et. al. Study Is Highly Flawed
The Insignares-Carrione Eduardo et. al. study, which you can also obtain here, is a highly-flawed study for these reasons :
It was a really small study with only 40 participants, 20 of whom received chlorine dioxide
They used COVID-19 patients who were 3-7 days post-infection, which means at least some of these infections would have naturally resolved by the first week of the study (midpoint).
The participants were NOT randomised, which means they are subject to manipulation by the researchers.
The study was NOT blinded in any way – the patient and researchers knew who was getting the treatment, and who was getting the placebo.
The only objective COVID-19 specific test they did was an RT-PCR test. A viral load test was not performed.
Otherwise, the study only ran a simple blood test and asked participants to self-report vague symptoms like fever, cough, throat pain, headache, which may or may not be related to COVID-19.
They did not monitor oxygen saturation by pulse oximeter, but still claimed that those on chlorine dioxide had better oxygen saturation.
As you can tell by now, this is a highly-flawed study.
There is no way any legitimate health authority / hospital / doctor would ever approve the use of chlorine dioxide for the treatment of COVID-19 based on such a study.
Chlorine dioxide does NOT work as a treatment against COVID-19, when consumed.
It only works as a surface disinfectant, which is why it is used to sanitise water and food and some medical equipment. Even then, it is used a VERY LOW DOSES.
It is such a powerful oxidising agent that it is used to bleach wood pulp. Imagine what it can do to your body if you consume it!
Fact #4 : Chlorine Dioxide Is Toxic
Despite claims that chlorine dioxide is safe, it is actually a toxic chemical :
US EPA sets a maximum limit of 0.8 mg/L in drinking water
US OSHA sets an 8-hour exposure limit of 0.1 ppm for those who work with chlorine dioxide
The US FDA even warned about the serious adverse effects experienced by people who consumed chlorine dioxide products :
Respiratory failure caused by a serious condition where the amount of oxygen carried through the blood stream is greatly reduced (methemoglobinemia);
Changes in the electrical activity of the heart (QT prolongation), which may lead to potentially fatal abnormal heart rhythms;
Life-threatening low blood pressure caused by dehydration;
Acute liver failure;
Low blood cell counts, due to the destruction of red blood cells faster than the body can make it (hemolytic anemia), which required a blood transfusion;
Severe vomiting; and
Severe diarrhea.
Fact #5 : Andreas Kalcker Was Charged With Death Of 5 Year-Old Boy
In September 2021, Argentinian authorities charged Andreas Kalcker for the death of a 5 year-old boy in Neuquen, Western Argentina.
The boy died in August 2020 from multiple organ failure, after his parents (who were influenced by Kalcker) gave him chlorine dioxide to prevent COVID-19.
Fact #6 : Liechtenstein Is Not Part Of Switzerland
The main researcher, Insignares-Carrione Eduardo, is based in Colombia but calls himself the Global Research Director of Liechtensteiner Verein für Wissenschaft und Gesundheit in Liechtenstein, Switzerland.
It seems obvious, but it must be said – Liechtenstein is not part of Switzerland. Liechtenstein is an independent country, located between Austria and Switzerland.
Fact #7 : Bolivia Is Not Part Of Spain
Three of the other authors are listed as residents of La Paz in Bolivia, Spain.
La Paz is the capital of Bolivia, as well as a barrio (administrative district) in Madrid, Spain. However, they are two completely different locations.
Again, it seems obvious, but it must be said – Bolivia is NOT part of Spain.
Bolivia is an independent country located in South America, while Spain is an independent country located in Europe. They are not even in the same continent!

Several experts are warning that ivermectin can cause liver damage.
Find out why it is so dangerous to self-medicate with ivermectin!
Can Ivermectin Cause Liver Damage?
Ivermectin is generally a well-tolerated drug. However, it has NOT been extensively used in human beings, because it has only been used to treat parasitic diseases which are not common in most parts of the world.
Even in countries where it is available for use in human beings, it is often prescribed as a single dose, and is not used over a long period of time.
Hence, its safety profile outside of the typical use cases in past decades is UNKNOWN.
Unfortunately, evidence is mounting that ivermectin can cause liver damage.
Some experts have started speaking out about this risk, and a few recent examples of liver damage caused by ivermectin.
Switzerland : Acute Liver Damage From Ivermectin
In 2006, a 20 year-old woman from Cameroon living in Switzerland developed severe hepatitis from a single dose of ivermectin.
She had no history of liver disease or viral hepatitis, and did not drink alcohol or take any other medications, over-the-counter products or herbals.
But after a month of receiving a single 15 mg dose of ivermectin, she complained of abdominal pain.
A liver biopsy was taken, and showed “acute hepatocellular necrosis, apoptotic bodies and lymphocytic lobular infiltrates“.
Her liver function tests showed markedly elevated serum aminotransferase, although she had no jaundice.

Fortunately, she recovered and her liver function normalised within 3 months.
However, the acute liver damage she suffered was only caught because she received routine monitoring in Switzerland.
Without similar routine monitoring, such liver damage from ivermectin is likely to go unrecognised as mere “abdominal pain”.
Brazil : Liver Transplant + Hepatis From Ivermectin
Ivermectin was heavily used in Brazil, especially after it was heavily promoted by Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.
However, Brazilian experts are speaking out about the damage caused by use of ivermectin to treat or prevent COVID-19 in Brazil.
In February 2021, pulmonologist Frederico Fernandes, who is also President of the São Paulo Society of Pulmonology and Tisiology (SPPT), shared about his young patient who needed a liver transplant after self-medicating with 18 mg of ivermectin every day for a week.
Me solicitaram avaliação para uma paciente com hepatite medicamentosa.
Está a um passo de precisar de um transplante de fígado.
Ganha um troféu quem adivinhar qual medicação foi a culpada.
Hepatologist Paulo Bittencourt, who is President of the Brazilian Liver Institute of the Brazilian Society of Hepatology, stated that 27% of acute hepatitis or fulminant acute hepatitis in Brazil occurred as a result of medications, likely from the indiscriminate use of ivermectin.
He warned that taking ivermectin, chloroquine or azithromycin can lead to acute hepatitis. Even though it’s relatively rare, large-scale use by millions of people will lead to many cases of hepatitis.
Bittencourt himself recounted about a patient who used ivermectin every 15 days to prevent COVID-19. Even limited to bi-weekly use of ivermectin, his patient still developed nausea.
Raymundo Paraná, an expert in drug-induced liver injury and head of gastro-hepatology at the Federal University of Bahia in northeast Brazil, described how one of his patients came in with “clear symptoms of liver toxicity, with high levels of liver enzymes, yellowed eyes and dark urine” after taking “ivermectin, nitozoxanide and hydroxychloroquine“.
I’ve seen people taking pills once a week, three times a week, every day, three times a day.
Today, I saw a prescription recommending a dose 12 times higher than the dose that has been studied in humans.
South Africa : Liver Damage In 90% Of People Taking Ivermectin!
Dr. Emmanuel Taban – a leading pulmonologist in South Africa, recently wrote that two out of three COVID-19 patients who were admitted to his hospital were taking ivermectin.
Despite self-medicating with ivermectin, their condition worsened to the point they had to be hospitalised.
Even more worrying – he shared that some “90% of the patients using the drug presented with liver damage“.
Specifically, his patients were presenting with “deranged liver function tests“, which is a sign of liver damage.
He also shared examples of the type of ivermectin that his patients were using before they were admitted to his hospital for treatment.
Ivermectin is currently being investigate in a number of clinical trials, to ascertain its safety and efficacy against COVID-19.
These trials are being conducted in hospitals, where volunteers are under constant monitoring. If they develop liver damage, doctors can quickly treat them.
This is not possible for those who are self-medicating at home using ivermectin.
So please don’t put your life at risk by taking ivermectin. Wait for clinical trials on ivermectin to complete, to determine its safety and efficacy against COVID-19.
There is already a proven way to protect yourself against COVID-19 –vaccines. Instead of self-medicating with ivermectin, GET VACCINATED!

Did the USS Al Gore Global Warming Research Vessel get frozen in ice?
Take a look at the pictures, and find out what the facts really are!
USS Al Gore Global Warming Research Vessel Frozen In Ice?
People keep sharing pictures of the USS Al Gore Global Warming Research Vessel frozen in ice, some as a joke, some as evidence that global warming does not actually exist.
You will find these being shared on Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Reddit, and even some websites.
Note : We intentionally placed the FALSE overlay to prevent them from being further abused.
Because these have been debunked previously on our sister website, someone started sharing a new picture instead. This time, of a much larger ship.
USS Al Gore : The Facts
As you can surmise by now, those pictures are NOT of the USS Al Gore Global Warming Research Vessel.
Climate change is real, and sharing pictures of frozen boats is not going to change the fact that the world is getting warmer.
Here are the reasons why these are all FAKE PICTURES being shared by climate change deniers.
Fact #1 : There Is No USS Al Gore
The USS Al Gore does not exist. The USS (United States Ship) designation is reserved for active commissioned ships of the US Navy. There has never been a ship named for former US Vice-President Al Gore.
Well, a FICTIONAL submersible aircraft carrier – the CVJ-01 USS Al Gore – was named after him, but I don’t suppose that counts… because it’s a SUBMARINE! 😀
Fact #2 : Al Gore Has A Houseboat Called Bio-Solar One
Al Gore has a 100-foot houseboat that is powered by bio-diesel and solar panels, called Bio-Solar One. It was launched sometime in September 2008.
Here, you can see it at the Hurricane Marina in Silver Point, Tennessee. Completely different design and size, and NEVER FROZEN in ice.
Photo Credit : The Tennessean
Fact #3 : The Frozen Boat Was In Switzerland
The original fake picture of USS Al Gore was of a boat moored off Versoix, on the shores of Lake Geneva, Switzerland.
It was hit by an ice storm in 2005 – the freezing rain froze into a thick glaze of ice that covered not only this boat, but also vehicles, buildings and the streets.
The date stamp is clear – this was taken on 28 January 2005 – more than 3.5 years before Al Gore’s Bio-Solar One houseboat was even launched.
Fact #4 : The Frozen Ship Was In Russia
The newer fake photo of USS Al Gore was really taken on 19 January 2006, of the ship GEORG OTS at the port of Saint Petersburg in Russia.
GEORG OTS (IMO 7625835) is a passenger Roll-On, Roll-Off (Ro-Ro) cargo ship built in 1980, and has ceased service since 2013, last seen heading to Zhoushan, China.
Here you can see the original picture used in the fake USS Al Gore photo, and the GEORG OTS during warmer times.
