David Bell is a leading global health expert, who has worked at the top of the World Health Organisation and for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. He believes that the use of lockdowns and universal vaccination in the response to COVID-19 has been a grievous error, and a betrayal of the founding principles of the global healthcare sector. In pt.1 of a wide-ranging interview, David describes first-hand the takeover of global health by corporate interests, and how the successive pandemics and near-pandemics of the 21st century have led the WHO in an increasingly authoritarian direction. In our subscribers-only pt.2, THE COVID ERROR, David continues the story, to explain why he thinks a twenty-year drift in the WHO away from its founding constitution has resulted in the disastrous error of lockdowns and vaccine mandates today.
