+ | |||
+ | The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation made the announcement on January 27, 2015 at the Gavi Replenishment Conference in Berlin, hosted by German Chancellor [[Angela Merkel]]. A press release from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation said U.S $7.5 billion was made in pledges, “the largest-ever financial commitment to support childhood immunization, | ||
+ | |||
+ | This funding will help Gavi “reach an additional 300 million children with vaccines by 2020.” Funds for vaccines could save up to seven million lives by protecting children from such diseases as pneumonia, measles and severe [[diarrhea]]. ((https:// | ||

+ | ==== GAVI Whistleblower ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Dr [[Geert Vanden Bossche]] is an independent virologist and vaccine expert who was formerly employed at GAVI and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. His professional qualification and statement should end all social media censorship of all posts expressing legitimate ideas of concern towards mass COVID19 vaccination. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This week he wrote an open letter appealing to “all authorities, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Entitling his letter, “Why mass vaccination amidst a pandemic creates an irrepressible monster” | ||
+ | |||
+ | Conclusion... | ||
+ | If we, human beings, are committed to perpetuating our species, we have no choice left but to eradicate these highly infectious viral variants. This will, indeed, require large vaccination campaigns. However, NK cell-based vaccines will primarily enable our natural immunity to be better prepared (memory!) and to induce herd immunity (which is exactly the opposite of what current Covid-19 vaccines do as those increasingly turn vaccine recipients into asymptomatic carriers who are shedding virus). | ||
+ | |||
+ | So, there is not one second left for gears to be switched and to replace the current killer vaccines by life-saving vaccines. I am appealing to the WHO and all stakeholders involved, no mater their convicton, to immediately declare such action as THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY OF INTERNATIONAL CONCERN. | ||

+ | ==== Above the Law ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | According to Stuckelberger, | ||
+ | |||
+ | As explained by Justus Hoffmann, Ph.D., one of the German Corona Extra-Parliamentary Inquiry Committee members, GAVI has “qualified diplomatic immunity, | ||
+ | |||
+ | GAVI is a nongovernmental organization that is allowed to operate without paying any taxes, while also having total immunity for anything they do wrong. | ||
+ | |||
+ | “They can do whatever they want,” Stuckelberger says, without repercussions. The police, for example, are barred from conducting an investigation and collecting evidence if GAVI were to be implicated in a criminal investigation. “It’s shocking, | ||

+ | ==== COVID Vaccines ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Serum Institute of India (SII) on Friday said it has signed a deal with the international vaccine alliance Gavi and the [[Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation]] to accelerate the manufacturing and delivery of up to 100 million does of Covid-19 vaccines for India and other low-income countries. | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[Serum Institute]] of India said the vaccines will be prices at a maximum $3 per dose and will be made available in 92 countries that are included in Gavi’s [[COVAX]] Advance Market Commitment (AMC). The Adar Poonawalla -led company had earlier joined hands with [[AstraZeneca]] and [[Novavax]] to develop their Covid vaccines. The same $3 per dose price applies in case of these deals as well. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Last week the Gavi Board agreed on the final list of 92 countries that will be supported by the AMC. Under the new collaboration, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Over the last decade, the Government of India has encouraged innovation and supported the [[Indian vaccine industry]] to manufacture high quality, affordable indigenous tools and products to benefit India and the world. We are very happy to see SII enter this global partnership to respond to the global health crisis posed by Covid-19," | ||
