CFR Pandemic Response Review
POLITICO - Special Report - September 14, 2022
How Bill Gates and his partners took over the global Covid response (Title was revised to delete Bill Gates name & cite say four groups Wayback remembers)
Four health organizations, working closely together, spent almost $10 billion on responding to Covid across the world. But they lacked the scrutiny of governments, and fell short of their own goals, a POLITICO and WELT investigation found.
“In previous global health crises, the U.S. government really had played that lead role of helping organize the world around getting vaccines and drugs, and other countermeasures to where they’re most needed. But the U.S. under the Trump administration wasn’t playing that role,” said Tom Bollyky, director of the global health program at the Council on Foreign Relations and an adviser to CEPI. “It really was left to organizations like the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Gavi and others, to try to help martial governments around a plan.” 2)
