(Mercola)—The video above features an interview with American podcaster and former professor of evolutionary biology Bret Weinstein by Tucker Carlson.1 Originally aired January 5, 2024, in it they discuss the COVID-19 pandemic, “the game of Big Pharma,” the catastrophic effects of the mRNA shots, and the World Health Organization’s plan for humanity going forward. It’s an excellent interview you won’t want to miss.
The Big Pharma Racket Explained
Weinstein begins by addressing what he refers to “the game of Big Pharma.” He believed himself to be somewhat of an expert on the drug industry, but during the last four years, he found himself being “schooled,” and many facets of the industry were not at all what he’d imagined.
Of course, Big Pharma has a “perverse incentive” to promote ill health as its financial bottom line depends on it. They make no money from healthy people.
“But what I think most of us did not realize is how elaborate its bag of tricks is,” he says, “and what the nature of that bag of tricks is. To describe it, I would say Pharma is an intellectual property racket …
Essentially, Pharma owns various things — it owns molecules, compounds, it owns technologies, and what it’s looking for is a disease to which these things plausibly apply.”
Once a disease has been identified against which one of Pharma’s intellectual properties can be used, the industry’s profits rise to the extent that:
- The disease is widespread
- The disease is serious
- Competing drugs are deemed unsafe or ineffective
- Government will mandate the drug
- The medical establishment will declare it the standard of care
“You’ve just described pandemic response!” Carlson says. And, indeed, analyzing the pandemic response is what allowed Weinstein to identify these tricks.
Pharma, he says, is engaged in a continuous effort to portray its intellectual properties as more useful and safer than they are, and to persuade the medical establishment, journals, medical societies, hospitals and government to “direct people toward drugs they wouldn’t otherwise be taking. That’s what the racket is.”
It’s important to understand what the Pharma racket is, and how it works, because long before COVID, Pharma was “expert at figuring out how to portray a disease as more widespread and more dangerous than it was,” and it was “excellent at portraying a compound as more efficacious than it is.”
So, when COVID-19 happened, the industry was more than prepared to take advantage of it. COVID was “the biggest pharmacological cash cow conceivable,” Weinstein notes.
A Fatal Flaw
The immediate needs of the crisis allowed Pharma to do what otherwise would have been impossible, and that is to roll out mRNA technology at “warp speed” under the pretense that it was the latest and greatest vaccine technology. Gene therapies must undergo far more stringent safety and efficacy testing, all of which were bypassed in this case.
Weinstein suspects the mRNA technology “would never have gotten through even the most cursory safety tests” under normal circumstances, as it has a “terrible safety flaw.”
The lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are not targeted, so they can and are taken up by any cell they encounter. This wouldn’t be so bad if the injection actually stayed in the injection site, as promised, but it doesn’t.
This was, of course, entirely predictable. Just about any compound injected will leak from the injection site and end up circulating through your body. The risk of systemic effects was further augmented by the fact that health authorities advised AGAINST aspiration of the needle prior to injection.
Aspiration involves pulling back on the plunger to make sure there’s no blood. If there’s blood, you’ve landed in a blood vessel, which means you’re injecting straight into the blood stream and not into the deltoid tissue, which would help minimize the mRNA’s spread through your body.
As explained by Weinstein, the danger of the mRNA technology has to do with how immunity naturally develops.
A viral infection occurs when a virus enters into a cell and tricks it into making copies of the virus. These copies enter into and infect adjacent cells, and many also spread to other people through coughing and sneezing. When your cells produce an antigen (a foreign protein) that your immune system cannot recognize, your immune system assumes that cell is virally infected and sets out to destroy it.
The problem with the mRNA transfection technology is that it tricks cells haphazardly throughout your body to produce a foreign protein, which your immune system recognizes as an infection in progress.
Your immune system therefore starts to destroy the affected cells, and when those cells are in your heart, brain or other internal organs, the result can be life threatening. Aside from lethal heart problems, we’re also seeing a dramatic uptick in extremely rapidly progressing cancers.
“To go back to the original story, Pharma had a potentially tremendously lucrative property that it couldn’t bring to market because a safety test would have revealed this unsolvable problem at its heart,” Weinstein says.
“My hypothesis is that it recognized that the thing that would bypass that obstacle was an emergency that caused the public to demand a remedy … that would cause the government to streamline the safety testing process so that it wouldn’t spot these things.
And indeed … the safety testing was radically truncated so that long-term harms were impossible to detect. So, the hypothesis in question is, Pharma used an emergency to bypass an obstacle to bring an incredibly lucrative technology — to normalize it in the public and the regulatory apparatus — to sneak it by the things that would ordinarily prevent a dangerous technology like this one from being widely deployed.”
The Plot to Introduce Risky Tech Was Central to the COVID Response
In a supplementary commentary about and to this interview, Jeffrey A. Tucker, founder of the Brownstone Institute, writes:2
“The bigger picture, the ominous reality, was slow to dawn on me, namely that the mRNA platform technology … was central to the entire COVID response. Without understanding that, we miss the forest for the trees. It was the driving motivation for the initiation of lockdowns … and their absurd prolongation …
When you consider the scale of the damage to the whole society and the entire world, all for purposes of patent piracy and fast-tracking a technological deployment, one almost cannot imagine that any government could be so captured and corrupt. It seems to stretch the bounds of plausibility and yet here we are.
Knowing all of this helps frame up some of the mysteries of the time, such as the wild and aggressive censorship. To manage a caper on this scale required the creation of the appearance of consensus. The point was to prepare the way for the vaccine rollout, which everyone was supposed to regard as their salvation from lockdowns, masks, and closures …
There is a reason we haven’t heart any high-profile apologies or admissions of wrongdoing. The reason is that there was never a purpose to do the right thing. It was an industrial takeover from the beginning, a perfect corporatist scheme for gaining a major advantage in the wars for pharmaceuticals and their future.”
Tens of Millions Have Likely Been Killed Already
Weinstein cites research3 by Joseph Fraiman et. al., in which they reanalyzed Pfizer’s own trial data, showing there was a 1 in 800 risk of a serious adverse event. This risk was cleverly disguised by giving the placebo group the real mRNA shot just one month into the trial.
This was not a risk of 1 in 800 people, but 1 in 800 doses, and people got two doses to start. Research presented at a recent conference in Romania suggests some 17 million people have died as a result of the shots so far. Yet these shots are still recommended for children as young as 6 months, and in the absence of any kind of emergency.
And, as noted by Weinstein, while booster uptake is now in the single digits percentage-wise, we are not seeing a clear majority acknowledging that the mass vaccination campaign was a mistake to begin with. It’s as though most people simply don’t want to think about the damage that has been done. They don’t want to acknowledge that they were fooled by a sophisticated propaganda machine.
But we’re still injecting these shots into children, and that means we have a moral obligation to acknowledge the uncomfortable truth that the shots are dangerous and must be stopped.
Free Speech Is a Matter of Life and Death
As noted by Weinstein, a relatively small number of alternative media voices were fortunately able to educate enough people about the harms, such that booster uptake has now dropped off the proverbial cliff. The problem we now face is that the WHO, in its amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHRs) and the international pandemic treaty, is seeking to gain control over all media worldwide.
If the IHRs and the treaty go through, the WHO would have the sole authority to decide what medical truth is, and all countries would be obliged to censor accordingly, by whatever means necessary.
Considering how crucial alternative news have been in waking people up to the realities of COVID, what will happen if we’re forced to face another pandemic without them? You could easily say that free speech, within the context of health and medicine, is a matter of life and death. If scientific debate and opposing views are eliminated, the death toll from medical propaganda is bound to be even greater than we’ve seen already.
The WHO’s Plan in Broad Strokes
Weinstein goes on to review the WHO’s planned coup by way of the IHR amendments and its pandemic treaty. In broad strokes, these two instruments seek to achieve global dominion by the few and total control of the masses, under the guise of public health.
In short, this treaty will require all member nations that sign onto it to relinquish their national sovereignty to the WHO, making it a de facto totalitarian ruler of the whole world.
According to the WHO, the reason the COVID pandemic got so bad is because nations failed to cooperate. Hence, the reasoning goes, we need an international treaty that centralizes pandemic response powers to the WHO.
The problem, of course, is that most nations DID follow the WHO’s irrational and unscientific recommendations. Its ineptitude — whether intentional or not — is what destroyed economies and resulted in needless deaths.
Under the proposed treaty, the WHO will have the authority to declare a public health emergency on any basis, even without evidence, and will be entitled to mandate remedies that all member states will be required to implement.
This includes vaccine mandates, travel restrictions, which drugs can and cannot be used, and the censorship of everything that does not conform to the WHO’s official recommendations, just to name a few. Importantly, the censorship will not be limited to “misinformation” (erroneous information) and “disinformation” (intentionally erroneous information and lies), both of which are at least to some degree related to truth versus falsehood.
No, as explained by Weinstein, the most important term you need to understand is that of “malinformation,” defined as truthful information that causes distrust in authority.
Criminalizing Malinformation — The Legalized Silencing of Truth
So, when you point out lies by government officials, you’re committing an act of malinformation, which the U.S. Department of Homeland Security now includes in its definition of terrorist acts, in addition to spreading mis- and disinformation. This is absolutely terrifying, because “terrorism” is “a legal designation that causes all of your rights to evaporate,” Weinstein says, adding:
“So, at the point that the Department of Homeland Security says that you are guilty of a kind of terrorism for saying true things that cause you to distrust your government, they are also telling you something about what rights they have to silence you.
They are not normal rights. So, there things are all terrifying, and I do think … the COVID pandemic caused us to become aware of a lot of structures that have been built around us, something that former NSA officer William Binny once described as the turnkey totalitarian state. The totalitarian state is erected around you, but it’s not activated. And then, once it’s built, the key gets turned.
We are now seeing … something that even outstrips William Binny’s description, because it’s the turnkey totalitarian planet. The World Health Organization is above the level of nations, and it is going to be in a position, if these provisions pass, to dictate to nations how they are to treat their own citizens, to override their constitutions.”
The Timeline
The 77th World Health Assembly, during which the IHR amendments and the pandemic treaty are to be voted on, is scheduled to begin May 27, 2024. The IHR amendments will only require a 50% vote of whomever is in the room at the time of the vote.

However, the IHR amendments working group must to submit their final package of amendments by January 27, 2024.4 If the final version of the proposed amendments has not been properly submitted by that date, then the World Health Assembly does not have the legal right to vote on them at the 77th World Health Assembly in May 2024.
This means we only have two weeks left to raise enough awareness about these amendments to prevent their adoption. So, please, help spread the word by sharing the videos listed on James Roguski’s Substack.

Door To Freedom (doortofreedom.org), an organization founded by Dr. Meryl Nass, also has a poster that explains how the pandemic treaty and IHR amendments will change life as we know it and strip us of every vestige of freedom. Please download this poster and share it with everyone you know. Also put it up on public billboards and places where communities share information.
If adopted, the IHR amendments will take effect 10 months later for any nation that does not opt out. Nations that have not officially opted out will then be bound by the new terms laid out in the amendments.
Timeline for the Pandemic Treaty
The pandemic treaty will also be voted on during the World Health Assembly’s annual meeting, May 22 through 24, 2024.6 It will require two-thirds vote in favor by the members that are in the room and will go into effect as soon as 30 nations have ratified it.
Thirty days after that, the treaty will go into effect for all the nations that have signed on. Any nation that has not signed the treaty will be excluded from its terms. Those who sign the treaty must wait three years before they can get out.
The most recent version of the treaty, dated October 30, 2023, can be found here. The Intergovernmental Negotiating Body (INB) has been directed to produce yet another draft before the next meeting scheduled for February 19 through March 1, 2024, so additional revisions are to be expected.7
The Good News
While the situation may appear bleak, Weinstein remains optimistic, if for no other reason than the fact that we, the opposition to this global coup, actually have the most courageous intellectuals on OUR team.
Scientists, researchers, medical professionals, academics and journalists of all stripes across the world who dared speak out against the official narrative were ousted from their prestigious positions.
As a result, we now have a “Dream Team” of “every player you could possibly want on your team to fight some historic battle against a terrible evil,” Weinstein says. Indeed, as noted by Tucker,8 all of these experts “now form a huge counterforce of correct information,” and they’re not going away.
That said, to truly prevent this global coup, we need you, everyone, regular folk everywhere, to speak and share the truth to the point that you’re able. For only then will our voices outnumber the voices of the propaganda machine.

Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
