Update 2, May 7, 2020:
My original post was published on April 24, 2.34 AM.
I now see that Armstrong Economics spotted the Imperial College funding on the Gates Foundation website on April 9. I saw the same thing but on the Imperial College website.
On April 25, Business Insider picked up the Gates-Ferguson funding tie and buried that at the bottom of a long article lauding Ferguson’s work in saving tens of thousands of lives.
On April 30, Jon Rappaport, an investigative reporter/blogger references the BI report in an article (see update1) denouncing Ferguson in much the same terms .
Update 1, May 1, 2020:
Jon Rappaport now has a piece at his blog making the identical claim I make below: the fraud Ferguson has jiggered his models for the big vaccine payola for Gates and his fellow globalists.
ORIGINAL POST
Neil Ferguson, OBE, is the Imperial College epidemiologist whose computer forecast of half a million British deaths changed UK policy on Covid-19 from encouraging herd immunity to locking down the entire population. Aptly enough, the concept of a lock-down and the word itself are borrowed from prison life.
I suggest that lock-down at the very least is what Ferguson himself deserves, for prostituting science in the service of big business and instigating a genocidal public policy.
At Imperial, Ferguson heads the MRC Center for Global Disease Analysis, where research focusses on the most significant of the arboviruses – viruses transmitted by insects – the flaviviruses of dengue, yellow fever, and zika.
The MRC webpage states:
“Work across these three diseases shares a number of commonalities – most notably, our focus on elucidating the demographic and climatic drivers of transmission, characterising spatiotemporal hetergeneity in transmission intensity and understanding patterns of disease persistence. To achieve such a broad scale of activities, we collaborate with numerous public health agencies (e.g. WHO, CDC, GAVI) and fellow researchers around the world. Our research is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the US National Institutes of Health and the MRC.“
Put succinctly, Ferguson’s work looks for how population and climate drive the transmission of disease. When the funding for his research depends on the Gates Foundation, which is committed to global population reduction and doomsday climate panic, the public is entitled to question its disinterestedness. As alarming is Ferguson’s extensive collaboration with WHO (currently headed by a non-physician and former Ethiopian minister with extensive ties to the Gates Foundation, the Buffett Foundation, and the Aspen Institute ), with the CDC (dominated by mammoth pharmaceutical and vaccine companies), and with GAVI (another Gates vaccine brainchild). These ties suggest even more that Dr. Ferguson is a captive of the vaccine industry and the Gates depopulation agenda.
At Voltaire Network, Thierry Meyssan, has summed up Ferguson’s history of failed mathematical modeling:
“Professor Ferguson is still the European reference for epidemic modelling.
Yet it was he who, in 2001, convinced Prime Minister Tony Blair to have 6 million cattle slaughtered to stop the foot-and-mouth epidemic (a decision that cost 10 billion pounds and is now considered an aberration). In 2002, he calculated that mad cow disease would kill about 50,000 British people and another 150,000 when transmitted to sheep. There were actually 177. In 2005, he predicted that bird flu would kill 65,000 Britons. There were a total of 457.”
“Regardless, he became an adviser to the World Bank and many governments. It was he who sent a confidential note to French President Emmanuel Macron on March 12 announcing half a million deaths in France. In panic, the latter took the decision for generalized confinement that same evening. It was also Professor Ferguson who publicly announced on March 16 that, if nothing was done, there would be as many as 550,000 deaths in the United Kingdom and as many as 1.2 million in the United States, forcing the British government to review its policy.”
