It has emerged that U.S. sex offender Jeffrey Epstein discussed a pandemic long before the coronavirus began to spread with an unidentified person.
Documents on Epstein that the U.S. Department of Justice released last week included an email titled "Preparing for pandemics" that an unidentified person sent to Epstein on Mar. 20, 2015.
In the email, the unidentified person told Epstein, "As requested, I'm attaching a draft agenda for a pandemic preparedness meeting," and said, "Let's discuss next steps, including how to formally involve the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)."
In connection with this, there was also a claim that the person Epstein discussed pandemic preparedness with was Microsoft (MS) founder Bill Gates. The influential Russian daily Izvestia reported on the 4th (local time), "The Epstein files contained discussions between Epstein and Bill Gates on pandemic modeling and biomedical projects." On that basis, it argued that the unidentified person who emailed Epstein in 2015 was likely Bill Gates.
According to the report, a 2017 letter was first sent to Bill Gates by someone and then forwarded to Epstein. The letter included concepts for large-scale disease outbreak scenarios, research in the field of neurotechnology, and simulations of the possibility of a global spread of infectious diseases.
Izvestia said, "Such discussions on pandemic scenarios took place years before the emergence of COVID-19." COVID-19 was first reported in late Dec. 2019 in Wuhan, China.
