The WHO's clairvoyant "summary" game-plan for dealing with COVID-19 calls for a "universal" flu vaccine

[Mark Crispin Miller]

Issued last September, this "Executive Summary" by the WHO's Global Preparedness Monitoring Board

is a most impressive piece of work—not least because of its clairvoyance, as it envisions "a rapidly

spreading pandemic due to a lethal respiratory pathogen (whether naturally emergent or accidentally

or deliberately released)" (italics in the text). To deal with that pandemic, the nations of the world must

realize certain "progress indicators" by this September. 

Those "indicators" now require our careful study, as the WHO means business; and, as we have

long since learned, what business wants, business tends to get. It's obvious throughout this

magisterial "summary" that Big Pharm—er, I mean, Bill G—oops, that is, the WHO, by this 

September, will be very close to having that VACCINE which will surely save us all, whether we

want it or not.

Among the summary's two dozen references to that expedient, the second is the most intriguing:

"a universal influenza vaccine," which "countries, donors and multilateral institutions" must

altogether get a jump on turning out. We need to ask what "universal" means? That it will kill

off every influenza strain there is (including all possible mutations)? Or that it will be universally

deployed? Or both? 

Whatever "universal" means, that is a really bad idea, and one we must be ready to shoot down,

or, failing that, resist, and well before September.
