<\/span><\/span>For years, Bill Gates has been at the forefront of research regarding global pandemics and mass vaccination campaigns. In the past decade, Gates went on record several times stating that the world was not ready for a global pandemic.<\/p>\n In October 2019 (only a few months before the apparition of COVID-19) the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (in cooperation with the World Economic Forum) hosted Event 201, a 3.5-hour table-top simulation of a global pandemic.<\/p>\n Event 201 discussions. New York, October 18th, 2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Oddly enough, this simulation was about a novel coronavirus that would kill millions. About eight weeks later, an actual novel coronavirus spurred in China. This lead to some people wondering if this exercise actually predicted the spread of COVID-19. In response to these questions, a statement was posted on the\u00a0Event 201 website<\/a>.<\/p>\n In October 2019, the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security hosted a pandemic tabletop exercise called\u00a0Event 201<\/a>\u00a0with partners, the World Economic Forum and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Recently, the Center for Health Security has received questions about whether that pandemic exercise predicted the current novel coronavirus outbreak in China. To be clear, the Center for Health Security and partners did not make a prediction during our tabletop exercise. For the scenario, we modeled a fictional coronavirus pandemic, but we explicitly stated that it was not a prediction. Instead, the exercise served to highlight preparedness and response challenges that would likely arise in a very severe pandemic. We are not now predicting that the nCoV-2019 outbreak will kill 65 million people. Although our tabletop exercise included a mock novel coronavirus, the inputs we used for modeling the potential impact of that fictional virus are not similar to nCoV-2019.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n On March 13th, about a day after COVID-19 began shutting down the entire Western world, Bill Gates stepped down from the public board of Microsoft to \u201cdedicate more time to philanthropic priorities including global health and development, education, and climate change\u201d. As the pandemic spread across the world, Gates became an outspoken and authoritative figure on the pandemic crisis, appearing all over mass media to share his views and recommendations.<\/p>\n On March 18th, Bill Gates took part in an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Reddit titled\u00a0I\u2019m Bill Gates, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. AMA about COVID-19.<\/a> where he answered questions about the pandemic. In one of his answers, Gates referred to a \u201cdigital certificate\u201d to keep track of who got vaccinated.<\/p>\n A Reddit user named RemoteControlledUser asked this question:<\/p>\n What changes are we going to have to make to how businesses operate to maintain our economy while providing social distancing?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Bill Gates\u2019 answer:<\/p>\n The question of which businesses should keep going is tricky. Certainly food supply and the health system. We still need water, electricity and the internet. Supply chains for critical things need to be maintained. Countries are still figuring out what to keep running.<\/p>\n Eventually we will have some digital certificates to show who has recovered or been tested recently or when we have a vaccine who has received it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n A screenshot of the question and answer on Reddit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n While most of Gates\u2019 answers were received with praise, this one raised lots of eyebrows. The most upvoted reply highlights the similarities between Gates\u2019 solution and the \u201cMark of the Beast\u201d in the Bible.<\/span><\/p>\n The top replies to Bill Gates\u2019 answer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This concept of a \u201cdigital certificate\u201d to store medical information (including vaccines received) and to grant access to rights or services was not a mere suggestion. It is part of a massive project that is propelled by a powerful group called ID2020 which is backed by the United Nations, the Rockefeller Foundation and \u2026 Bill Gates\u2019 Microsoft.<\/p>\n ID2020 Summit, May 2016.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Simply put, ID2020 is looking to create a digital identification system that would store a wealth of personal information and that would go beyond the limits of national governments. The\u00a0official website of ID2020<\/a>\u00a0states that a global digital identity is necessary to keep track of refugees and ID-less people in developing countries. Of course, people in developed countries would be ID-ed as well. The website states:<\/p>\n Unfortunately, current models of digital ID do not meet everyone\u2019s needs. They are generally archaic, insecure, lacking adequate privacy protection, and for over a billion people worldwide, unavailable.<\/p>\n Everyone should have access to a digital ID that enables them to prove who they are across institutional and international borders and across time, while giving them control over how their personal information is collected, used, and shared.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n In an article published by ID2020 in 2018, vaccines are the perfect way to introduce digital identity to the world \u2013 especially infants. Appropriately titled\u00a0Immunization: an entry point for digital identity<\/a>, the article states:<\/p>\n Because immunization is conducted in infancy, providing children with a digital child health card would give them a unique, portable digital identity early in life. And as children grow, their digital child health card can be used to access secondary services, such as primary school, or ease the process of obtaining alternative credentials. Effectively the child health card becomes the first step in establishing a legal, broadly recognized identity.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n In short, according to ID2020, vaccinations are the perfect opportunity to introduce a digital ID that would store the medical history of each individual. This identity would also be used to grant access to basic rights and services.<\/p>\n ID2020 is already testing the introduction of digital IDs in Bangladesh. On August 2019, ID2020 published a \u201cRequest for information<\/a>\u201d article stating:<\/p>\n A2i and its partners Gavi and ID2020 are committed to jointly researching and implementing a unique ID for infants through digitisation of vaccination processes in Bangladesh.<\/p>\n The program will provide infants and children with a portable, biometrically-linked digital ID either at the point of birth registration or at the time of their immunizations, simultaneously supporting three shared objectives:<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Driving improvements in CRVS (Demographic and Social Statistics<\/a>) coverage and process<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Supporting improvements in vaccination process and equity<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Ultimately, supporting access to rights and services throughout one\u2019s life-course.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n In this Bangladesh experiment, digital ID is \u201cbiometrically-linked\u201d, meaning that it is based on the fingerprints of individuals. The article describes the process in place:<\/p>\n Information is required regarding biometric scanners capable of capturing the fingerprint biometrics of parents during phase 1 with the ambition to also effectively capture infant biometrics in phase 2. Scanners can be cabled or Bluetooth. Scanners must be a minimum of FBI certified FAP30, portable, robust and capturing a minimum of 500 pixels per inch. Please state the port type on the scanner(s), for example, micro USB, USB C, or other.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/span><\/span>While this project is linked to biometrics, Bill Gates has been funding research on a different form of vaccine identification: The quantum dot tattoo.<\/p>\n In December 2019, a group of researchers at the MIT published a study in\u00a0Science Translational Medicine<\/a>\u00a0about the use of quantum dot tattoos to identify who people who received a vaccine.<\/p>\n An image describing the application of a quantum dot tattoo on the skin through vaccination from Science Translational Medicine, December 2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"Bill](\"https:\/\/vigilantcitizen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/event201-discussions.jpg\" "\\"Bill")
