The public perception of Bill Gates is that of a great philanthropist. Through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, he has donated, granted, and invested billions of dollars worldwide in health organizations (including as the major donor to the World Health Organization), medical schools, non-profits, media, and other industries, organizations, and companies. Gates reaches out to the neediest and poorest of peoples and countries to improve their lives, and is involved in world affairs, ostensibly, to try and make things better. He is most recently recognized as the “man at the helm” addressing the Covid-19 crisis.
While the public’s eyes are focused on Gates, as he represents himself, French journalist, Lionel Astruc, investigated the Gates Foundation and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Trust, which funds the Foundation. In an interview (below) he explains that the Foundation practices something he terms philanthro-capitalism. The Gates Foundation has investments in companies that it donates money to.
… philanthro-capitalism puts at the centre of its operation large companies, multinationals and especially capitalistic and commercial methods. And so, if philanthropy is fueling the business that makes them rich.
He also found that Gates does not practice what he preaches. In February 2010, Bill Gates gave a TedTalk called Innovating to Zero. He said that we are using too much energy and are creating too much carbon dioxide. In his opinion, the world has to eliminate all production of carbon dioxide or the climate will get too hot, which would be worst for the poorer nations.
So you’ve got a thing on the left, CO2, that you want to get to zero, and that’s going to be based on the number of people, the services each person is using on average, the energy, on average, for each service, and the CO2 being put out per unit of energy.
Gates’s solution, aside from limiting population growth, is to find new sources of energy:
So let’s look at this fourth factor — this is going to be a key one — and this is the amount of CO2 put out per each unit of energy.So the question is:Can you actually get that to zero? If you burn coal, no. If you burn natural gas, no. Almost every way we make electricity today, except for the emerging renewables and nuclear, puts out CO2. And so, what we’re going to have to do at a global scale, is create a new system. So we need energy miracles. … The microprocessor is a miracle. The personal computer is a miracle. The Internet and its services are a miracle. … This is a case where we actually have to drive at full speed and get a miracle in a pretty tight timeline1.
The Trust also invests in pharmaceutical companies. The pharmaceutical industry produces vaccines; Gates said early on during the pandemic that we won’t be able to go back to normal until there’s a vaccine given to basically everyone on the planet.
Other Trust investments, such as in GMOs, Monsanto, Coca Cola, and others, also do not enhance human existence and improve conditions for the poorest. Instead, they make wealthy companies, and Gates, wealthier. at the expense of those he claims to want to help.
Astruc has written a book “The Art of False Generosity” about the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Listen as he reveals the truth about the world’s greatest philanthropist.
English subtitles. English YouTube transcript below.
What you’ve just seen is the trailer of a rather laudatory documentary about Bill Gates, presented as one of the greatest philanthropists of the world.
Lionel Astruc, Good Morning.
– Good morning.
– You’re a writer and journalist, you published “The Art of False Generosity”… on the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, published by Actes Sud.
An investigative book that reveals a little bit of the world’s most powerful foundation’s hidden side and Bill Gates’ pseudo generosity. What’s your reaction seeing this excerpt from the documentary?
– To tell you the truth, it’s that kind of message that pushed me to write the book. They’re overdoing so much that… We will see the documentary when it comes out, it’s just a trailer, but you can already see that it’s going to be a very soft hagiography, very smooth, which is going to show us a man which is closer to god than to normal man, you can see it in this trailer.
Actually, I’ve read some articles, including in magazine supplements devoted to sponsorship with journalists who were specialized etc. who continued to present Bill Gates as if he was an example of generosity. He has become a kind of measurement standard of what great generosity is. Every time we talk about philanthropy, or patronage: “Oh, yeah, it’s like Bill Gates who gives so much” and so forth. I knew already, before starting the investigation,
a little bit of what was hidden behind the scene, at one point I found it unbearable and so I started this investigation.
– In the book you develop a term, philanthro-capitalism, can you explain to us what it is?
– Yes, philanthro-capitalism, it’s a mix of generosity and capitalism… and the idea of the proponents of this movement all of whom are all very, very wealthy, They’re going to be able to, through generosity, do business, and it’s also the idea that, ultimately, they think that current philanthropy is not effective enough and, in order for it to be more effective, it would need to use the methods of capitalism. What it implies is that philanthro-capitalism puts at the centre of its operation large companies, multinationals and especially capitalistic and commercial methods. And so, if philanthropy is fueling the business that makes them rich. They’re fine with it. So there’s no calls into question social justice, there’s no calls into question the system.
– What’s crazy is that the foundation’s money comes from investments from large companies that contribute to world poverty, can you explain it to us?
– The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s funding, it’s true that, what you see from the outside, it feels like there’s very large donations being made,
we, as journalists, we just have to analyze the facts and the facts are that between 2011 and 2019, Bill Gates’ fortune went from 56 billion to 96 billion euros. So it’s increased by 40 billion in 8 years. You can’t tell that he’s stripping himself for the poor. So, how does he increase his wealth to such an astronomical extent and, at the same time, make it look like that he is generous to the whole world… and that he’s the most generous man.
Actually, it’s an investment system, just like you said. These investments are made through what is called a “trust”, that is to say an investment fund.
The foundation is backed by an investment fund and this fund places money, and it’s only the dividends from these investments which will then fuel the foundation, you have to understand this. That, by the way, is not a problem if the investments are really beyond reproach. or if the investments themselves contribute to the social and solidarity economy. But where does the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s trust invest? It invests in armaments and notably a jewel of British armaments called BAE system, a lot in fossil fuels, you should know that this fund invests in 35 of the 200 largest emitters of greenhouse gases companies, including pharmaceutical companies, GMOs, Monsanto of course, and junk food with Coca-Cola, Mc Donald’s etc. Is really investing in those companies, encourage them, give them the means to develop, I’m thinking of fossil fuels, for example, is this really an act of philanthropy? Are we really gonna get through this with that kind of behavior? I don’t think so.
– The Gates Foundation covers a wide range of areas such as health, education and agriculture, but then under the guise of philanthropy, that’s what you reveal in the book. in fact, his foundation helps mainly major groups to conquer markets, like Coca-Cola for example.
– Yeah, that’s what’s really…
The deeper we get into this, the further we go in the checks, observation, the analysis of this great structure… which has several floors, we understand that now, the more we realize that everything is, indeed, dedicated to large companies and multinationals. And that involves conflict of interest, on both a large and small scale, but let’s start by the small scale:
We find that companies that are in the trust’s investments of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, therefore, who receive investments from the foundation, are also among the beneficiaries of the donations. So there’s a real problem here. It means that they give money to a company that’s going to bring them some, that’s not what I call generosity.
We have several cases where we can really check it out without any problem. including Coca Cola, which in 2014, received 538 Million in trust investments from the Gates Foundation and which also benefited from programs to train 50,000 farmers so that they can cultivate passion fruit.
It was happening in Kenya. For Monsanto, it’s an even bigger conflict of interest… so much so that a former high-ranking official from Monsanto: Rob Horsch is part of the foundation team today.
So the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in Africa, it’s truly the Trojan horse of GMOs and Monsanto. So effectively, giving to companies like Monsanto, Coca-Cola and McDonald’s, I don’t think that this is a method that’s going to make us change paradigm and come up with a real solution.
– Yes, above all, the foundation helps mostly NGOs based in the United States, it does not help NGOs that headquarters are in Africa.
– That’s very interesting, it’s an observation that has been made by a British scientific journal “The Lancet” which realized two things, they’re more health-oriented, But they realized that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation which showed a very close relationship with Africa, you often see Bill Gates and his wife with Africans etc. In fact, they don’t trust at all what takes place in Africa nor trust the Africans themselves nor the population they help generally. They’d rather that their money go through rich countries. And in reality, only 5% of the money that they’re giving reach destination.
The consequences of that are, those Africans he doesn’t trust at all, and to which he claims to bring solutions from the top without asking them their opinion cannot develop their infrastructure for research, care, etc.
They are obliged to accept missions that either come from major U.N. agencies or big NGOs. Which is even more pernicious, where it meets conflict of interest, is that we also realize that when, and that’s the Lancet again, this scientific journal that says so, when the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation selects programs to be funded, it prefers to fund programs that will lead to the creation of markets rather than others who will empower people in trouble.
In this case, we see it every time that there are two solutions:
a locally made natural remedy
and a vaccine that’s going to be sold by a large foreign lab and a rich country at that, Well, the Gates Foundation chooses the diseases that call for the opening of markets and the creation of vaccines.
– Yeah, that, can we be more specific, can you explain, is it malaria vaccines?
– Yes, the case did arise with malaria specifically where actually there’s a method that has been proven to work which is artemisia, which is a plant that you can drink as herbal tea and can therefore be cultivated by local small farmers, if it’s administered properly, It works really well. We’ve got test subjects, we’ve got studies which validate this treatment,
and then we have a vaccine called Mosquirix, produced by GSK and it’s true that the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation has used its influence with the WHO, influence that is decisive, so that the vaccines are chosen over the tea, even to ban artemisia.
– Also, Bill Gates, has got an idea in his head:
“the salvation of the world will come through technology.”
– Little by little, dismantling this great structure I’ve come to care more and more… to the psychology of Bill Gates, because I think he’s sincere in his approach, which is perhaps the most serious finding because that means he’ll go all the way, he really believes in it, he’s not in a process to fool everyone, In fact, he’s fooled himself by his own obsession and indeed his obsession is technology. And when I say that I tried to put myself in his place and understand his psychology. You have to understand that it’s someone who managed to become “the world ruler”, so to speak, thanks to technology, that is to say, that moment when he monopolized computer science knowledge which in reality was a common heritage back then and he monopolized it he charged for something which was free back then And he also had this hunch and this pretty amazing ability to work that made him walk in front of everyone… and that he built monopolies around computers, that’s what made him what he is today. And so for him, technology is unbeatable. that’s why he likes vaccines, that’s why he likes phones, computer science, for him, that’s the solution.
Now, as Albert Einstein said:
“We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them”. And it’s exactly what Bill Gates is doing And that’s really dangerous, which means it’s with someone like that that is well-known by the population very well known as an example of generosity, a genius, It’s really with that kind of person that we can be pushed to the brink of collapse quicker than it should.
– As you said, most of the funding that are made by the foundation in Africa, are for commercial purposes, he decided to import the idea of a patent…
he’s trying to impose on the states the idea of patenting everything whatever the foundation.
– In fact, he has a double strategy in Africa whose purpose is to impose commercial seeds, patented seeds, GMOs and that technique consist in saying, in a very hypocritical way, that there’s no problem, free and peasant’seeds let’s them grow, let’s them continue, but us next door, we’re going to develop commercial seeds. He’s actually lobbying very hard with African governments. And the more these commercial seeds are accepted in Africa,
the tougher the regulation becomes, The more free seeds are marginalized, which means that the more you have commercial seeds, the more difficult it is for peasant’seeds to be accepted from a regulatory point of view, which means he’s trying to crush, with a legal weapon, free seed.
And the second strategy he employs in Africa and it’s been seen in Malawi, among other places, is that his foundation, claiming to help small seed distributor, is actually going to train them in the sale of commercial seeds and increase the proportion of seeds, especially from Monsanto, sold in these places…
And you can see that, with numbers to back it up, he increases Monsanto’s revenue in those countries.
– You also say that what gets him so much media acclaim, is the leverage he can get on them through money invested in the media.
– What really surprised me at the beginning of this investigation, is to see the lack of critical thinking against Bill Gates, the people who are going to read this book, if they watch the documentary trailer afterwards, keeping judgement after watching the actual documentary (but the trailer leaves little doubt) will see that there is such an abyss between this polished image that was sent to us all over the world, and reality, that’s what made me react. Indeed, I asked myself the question: “How did he… ”
There’s one very surprising moment, that is, in the late’90s, in 1998, he was taken to court by the U.S. government because he was abusing his dominant position to impose his Internet Explorer software and put Netscape aside. He has engaged in very violent practices against other companies, and this… I mean… when you’re taken to court by the U.S. government because you’re doing too much for capitalism, it means you went really really far in the savagery of capitalism. But it’s been a trial… here we kind of missed it, and that’s why there’s still this watered-down image of Bill Gates. And over there, it’s been broadcast everywhere. and people were tuned in, they were in front of their TVs and they’d see Bill Gates in front of the judges.
There have been great, eloquent silences from Bill Gates, because at some point, you can be a genius, a gifted one, but when you get caught hand in the cookie jar, you can’t answer anymore.
Where i’m getting is that… this was happening in 1998, Bill Gates had this image of an economic predator… that he was and that he still is. And in 2000, he became the most generous man in the world. He’s on the cover of major American magazines and so on. They say, “Wow, this is amazing, he’s going to give away his entire fortune”. We’ve seen that that’s not true at the beginning of this interview, and what really struck me was: how is it possible to do such an image flip so quickly?
Bill Gates used several things but I think the most interesting thing to analyze, is self-censorship. He’s giving so much money that when the problems are there, they keep them quiet. This is something really important, you should also know in the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, there is a communication budget which is downright colossal.
– Can it be said today that the foundation is as powerful as a country for example?
– It’s more powerful than a lot of countries actually. Bill Gates particularly, not to be confused with its foundation, Bill Gates is richer than 45 of the 48 countries in sub-Saharan Africa. That is to say that the continent is a playground for him. And in many areas, health, agriculture, the foundation’s budget is bigger than the aid budget of many countries. The effects of this can be seen, for example, at the WHO where, being one of the largest donor,
he controls important decisions…
– The World Health Organization.
–… on important decisions and on the strategic lines that are taken by the WHO. It’s a democratic problem, this practice of philanthro-capitalism allows a multi-billionaire to take control of matter such as environmental protection and health.
– Will we ever be able to stop him?
– I hope so, but I think that he’s taking advantage of some kind of legal vacuum. That is, when you have a foundation, there are many things that are possible and would not be if the budget was submitted to other institutions and/or more to the citizens, so it’s really up to us to protect ourselves from him.
– Thank you Lionel Astruc, let me remind you that your book “The Art of False Generosity” on the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
– Thank you – Goodbye.

While all eyes are on the WHO during this pandemic, it pays to take a look at the person at the helm.
Let’s go through them one by one:
Tedros received a BS in Biology from the University of Asmara, after which he worked as a Junior Health Expert for the Ministry of Health of the Dergue, the Marxist government ruling Ethiopia under dictator Mengistu Haile Mariam. After the fall of the Dergue in 1991, Tedros moved to London for graduate school where he acquired a Master’s of Science in Immunology of Infectious Diseases. In 2000, he received a Ph.D. in Community Health from the University of Nottingham.
For many years, health experts in Ethiopia noticed a strange phenomenon: The government was refusing to acknowledge cholera outbreaks.
Instead, the authorities labelled the outbreaks as “acute watery diarrhea” – a broader term that includes milder diseases. Research by Human Rights Watch found that the Ethiopian government was pressuring its health workers to avoid any mention of cholera, which could damage the country’s image and deter tourists.
Throughout this period, one of the most powerful officials in Ethiopia’s authoritarian government was Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, first as health minister and then foreign minister. In 2017, he was elected to a new post: director-general of the World Health Organization.
Critics say the cholera saga in Ethiopia is a sign that Dr. Tedros is comfortable with the secrecy of autocratic states – a tendency that may have led him to accept China’s earliest reports on the novel coronavirus outbreak in December and January without challenging its officials with tough questions.
“Dr. Tedros is the product of a deeply authoritarian regime,” said Jeffrey Smith, director of Vanguard Africa, a U.S.-based consultancy that lobbies for democracy in Africa3.
Testing for cholera is not difficult.
Outbreaks occurring in 2006, 2009 and 2011, he said, were only “acute watery diarrhea” in remote areas where laboratory testing “is difficult.” That is what the Ethiopian government said then and is saying now about an outbreak that began in January.
W.H.O. officials have complained privately that Ethiopian officials are not telling the truth about these outbreaks. Testing for Vibrio cholerae bacteria, which cause cholera, is simple and takes less than two days.
During earlier outbreaks, various news organizations, including The Guardian and The Washington Post, reported that unnamed Ethiopian officials were pressuring aid agencies to avoid using the word “cholera” and not to report the number of people affected.
But cholera bacteria were found in stool samples tested by outside experts. As soon as severe diarrhea began appearing in neighboring countries, the cause was identified as cholera.
United Nations officials said more aid could have been delivered to Ethiopia had the truth been told.
…
There are many causes of acute watery diarrhea, and the treatment is basically the same as for cholera: intravenous and oral rehydration, accompanied by an antibiotic if the cause is bacterial.
But cholera is especially virulent and kills some victims in less than 24 hours. Since it emerged from the Ganges River Delta in 1817, it has killed tens of millions around the world4.
Tedros was one of the top three members of the TPLF and the party is
… ultimately responsible for all the corruption, killings, torture, mass detention, land grab or displacement. He was very close to the late dictator Meles Zenawi, who trusted him to be a confidant as well as a cabinet minister.
…
… former security official Ayalew Meshesha, says that Adhanom was not only involved in facilitating Tsege’s kidnapping but also played an active role in the rendition of over 760 dissidents who fled to Yemen5.
Prior to his current position at the WHO, the United Nations’ health organization, Tedros, was a leader of the Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF).
EPRDF is a group that was designated as a terrorist organization by the United States Department of Homeland Security.
The group overthrew the government of Ethiopia to seize control of the country in the 1990s and was designed a “terrorist organization” by the U.S. “on the basis of its violent activities before it became part of the ruling coalition.”
A memo from the Department of Homeland Security in 2014 details the background of the EPRDF.
The TPLF is a political group founded in 1975 in Ethiopia, as an opposition group.
The TPLF engaged in prolonged armed conflict with the government of Ethiopia, which, along with other groups, it succeeded in overthrowing in 1991.
The TPLF then joined the Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF), a political coalition that became the governing coalition in Ethiopia.
The EPRDF continues to control the government of Ethiopia.
The TPLF qualifies as a Tier III terrorist organization under INA section 212(a)(3)(B)(vi)(III) on the basis of its violent activities before it became part of the ruling coalition and the government of Ethiopia in May 1991.
In 2017, National Review called for the WHO to be defunded, in part, over Dr. Tedros’s ties to the terror group.
Dr. Tedros, as he likes to be called (he has a Ph.D. in community health), is a leader of Ethiopia’s brutal minority party, the Tigray People’s Liberation Front, a wing of the ruling Marxist-rooted Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front.
He served the violently repressive regime as minister of foreign affairs from 2012 to 2016, after a stint as health minister6.
The United States State Department has categorized TPLF as a terrorist organization due to its “violent activities before it became part of the ruling coalition and the government of Ethiopia in May 1991” 7.
In their extensive research article 8 they explain:
In that regard, we present a case of Dr. Tedros A. Ghebreyesus’s candidacy for World Health Organization (WHO) Director General position as an example of diplomatic backing playing more importance for open vacancies of such magnitude than the individual’s background or credentials. Irrespective of the final outcome, the fact that an individual accused of systematic genocidal violence and human right violations by his opponents, who could even be subject to criminal investigations in the future at his own country or at International level, became one of the top three contenders for WHO Director General position is by itself an indication that the foundational principles in the recruitment policy for leadership role at International Public Health Organizations are violated.
They list the following offenses:
- Discrimination/Marginalization: Dr. Ghebreyesus implemented preferential treatment of “Tigray region” at the expense of other “Regions” especially “Amhara region” resulting in significant disparities in health coverage and outcomes between “Tigray region” and “Amhara region”.
- Crime against Humanity: Dr. Ghebreyesus and his government … distribut[ed] iodine deficient salt to Ethiopians, affecting pediatric brain development permanently especially “Amhara region” children where the land is normally iodine deficient compared to other parts of the country. …
- Systematic genocidal violence: The TPLF has historically labelled the Amharas as the historical enemy of the Tigray people. This is expressed in the TPLF manifesto published in 1975. … Dr. Ghebreyesus has served to accomplish agenda of TPLF to depopulate Amharas. “Amhara region” stood the top only in family planning especially in use of injectable “contraceptives” effectively making many Amhara women barren. 6
- Biased policies, inaction and impartiality: Though HIV/AIDS affected “Amhara region” [more] than any other “Regions” in Ethiopia for reasons not yet known, appropriate measures should have been taken before, during and after Dr. Ghebreyesus era under TPLF led government to minimize the impact of the disease.
- Corruption and misuse of budget: [The] Inspector General of Global Fund Office reported weakness in accounting, poor budget preparation and monitoring, inadequacies of internal audit and overall poor financial management of FMOH during his leadership…
- Disregard for Humanity: … Many International organizations brought evidence that the TPLF led Ethiopian government is using aid to suppress political dissent by conditioning access to essential government programs on support for the ruling party …
- Incompetency/Inaction: Because of Dr. Ghebreyesus leadership incompetency, Ethiopia was affected by Cholera almost every year during his tenure and actually his refusal to declare epidemic actually caused the disease to be disseminated throughout the country.
- Lack of transparency: … Dr. Ghebreyesus failed to be transparent by forcing the Ethiopian Ministry of Health not to report and cover up a Cholera epidemic throughout most of his tenure by simply renaming a deadly epidemic as Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD) despite the isolation of Vibrio cholerae as a causative agent.
- Maleficence and risking public safety: Iodine deficient salt was distributed in Ethiopia during Dr. Ghebreyesus tenure, violating the basic principles of ethics: non-maleficence. In addition, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and his team never gave attention to his people grievances despite multiple complaints from the affected people in “Amhara region” and other “Regions” because of poorly treated and handled chemical waste products.
- Poor judgement: The latest scandal while he was Minister of Foreign Affairs involved a 14 year old teenager by the name “Beritu Jaleta”, and clearly shows his poor judgement. It is unimaginable to think a person of his position will trust a teenager without confirming the source and make a promotion that a 20 million Australian Dollars was awarded to a teenager by Australian government and will be used to build a school in Ethiopia, “Oromia region”.
- Lack of accountability: Dr. Ghebreyesus is still proud of his role as a TPLF executive member and served as Minister of Foreign Affairs of TPLF/EPRDF led government making him accountable to each and every atrocity committed by TPLF on Ethiopians during his tenure, especially the ethnic cleansing and genocidal violence committed against the Amharas.
- Violation of basic Human Rights/Suppression of freedom of expression: Dr. Ghebreyesus used the Ministry of Health as well as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to implement his party’s ideology … his party is currently ruling Ethiopia under a “State of Emergency” which imposed broad restrictions on freedom of assembly and gave security forces wide powers to arrest and kill People.
- Integrity/Truthfulness/Honesty: Though Dr. Ghebreyesus and his government claim maternal mortality ratio (MMR) decreased in Ethiopia in his time, there is actually no statistically significant difference in MMR for decades in Ethiopia as confirmed by a study done by the current Ethiopian FMOH, Dr. Yifru Berhan.
In October 2017, Tedros named Mugabe a “goodwill ambassador” to help combat non-communicable diseases in Africa, provoking outrage from medical professionals and human rights groups. At the time the New York Times noted: The role of good-will ambassador is largely symbolic, but rights groups were scathing in their reaction to the symbolism of giving it to a man whose leadership, they say, has led to the collapse of its health service and major rights abuses in Zimbabwe. Ultimately, Tedros rescinded his decision to name Mugabe “goodwill ambassador” in the wake of criticism9.

CDC Off Center is a 2007 report, issued by Senator Tom Coburn of the US Senate Subcommittee on Federal Financial Management, Government Information and International Security Minority Office, found that the CDC is spending hundreds of millions of tax dollars for failed prevention efforts, international trips, and lavish facilities, but it is not able to show that it is doing what it is tasked to do – controlling disease.
From the document (emphasis added).
As this report notes, “CDC Off Center” was not produced because of any personal animosity against the CDC, nor the good people it employs. As a practicing physician, I have consulted CDC’s experts and materials to help me successfully treat my patients, and I value the good work it is capable of doing. Unfortunately in many areas, CDC is just one among many federal agencies that I believe is not properly living up to its own mission.
For some reason, the federal government has a difficult time prioritizing spending and demanding measurable results from those entrusted with billions of hardearned tax dollars to help carry out its crucial missions. …

• AIDS Funding CartEXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A recent survey showed that Americans overwhelmingly know of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and most give it positive remarks for the job they believe CDC is doing.1
Bolstered by this public perception, year after year, supporters of the CDC seek additional funding for the agency, often under the auspices of making America healthier and safer.
Yet while CDC has been given millions, and in some cases billions, of dollars to help prevent certain diseases among Americans, for many of these diseases the rates have not decreased, but have stayed the same or even increased under CDC’s watch. In the case of HIV, despite spending billions of dollars, CDC cannot even report how many Americans have the communicable disease.2
This is not to say that CDC is not trying to tackle these diseases, or that the people who work at the agency are intentionally misusing taxpayers’ hard-earned money. A review of recent CDC expenditures, however, demonstrates that a reprioritization of CDC funding and a review of the approach to certain types of disease prevention are long overdue.
In fiscal year 2007, the CDC has a budget of $10 billion and a stated mission “To promote health and quality of life by preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability.”
The CDC’s website says the agency, “pledges to the American people: To be a diligent steward of the funds entrusted to it. …To place the benefits to society above the benefits to the institution” and it lists as one of its core values “accountability.” The mission statement continues: “As diligent stewards of public trust and public funds, we act decisively and compassionately in service to the people’s health. We ensure that our research and our services are based on sound science and meet real public needs to achieve our public health goals.”3
This report seeks to hold CDC accountable to the taxpayers and to highlight spending decisions that, in some instances, appear to demonstrate questionable stewardship of public funds.

Stand for Health Freedom recently had the honor of sitting down with Holocaust survivor Vera Sharav and capturing her personal story on film. It’s a story that every individual needs to hear. A renowned champion of human rights and expert in biomedical research ethics, Ms. Sharav offers rare and valuable insights into the public health arena and state of emergency affecting each and every one of our lives. She also draws parallels between what happened in Nazi Germany and what’s happening in our society today — and discusses why it’s more important than ever for us to take a stand.

This publication has been prepared on behalf of the talmidim of Moreinu Harav Shmuel Kamenetzky, shlit”a, Moreinu Harav Elya Ber Wachtfogel, shlit”a, and Moreinu Harav Malkiel Kotler, shlit”a.
In this chapter, when mention is made of “our Gedolim,” the reference is to these three of our leading American Gedolim. Our Gedolim have made their views on vaccination known to their talmidim and to their petitioners. Their view is not extreme. They do not advocate against vaccination. They rule that vaccination is a parental choice, and that parents may not be coerced into vaccination. Perhaps most importantly, they state that parents who
choose not to vaccinate should be viewed as parents exercising a right and making a justifiable decision, not as agitators recklessly endangering the public welfare.
This publication refutes the assertions—which have been recently circulated widely—that all Gedolim obligate parents to vaccinate, and that non-vaccinating parents are rotzchim and rodfim. Non-vaccinating parents in our communities are acting with the full consent of da’as Torah, yet they are being maligned and vilified, and, in countless cases, victimized and hurt. The achdus and shalom within our communities and families is being
gravely damaged; the above unfounded and untrue assertions have had much to do with it.
A July survey, reported by the CDC in the Sept. 11, 2020, issue of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, shows that 70.6% of symptomatic adults who tested positive for Covid-19 always wore a face mask. So did 74.2% of the symptomatic adults who tested negative for Covid-19. In fact, according to the table below, the more frequently you wore a mask, the greater your chance of getting sick – with or without a positive Covid test1.
This study, though inconclusive, is the first (and only one so far) of its type to identify the effect that mask wearing has on surgeons2.
Considering our findings, this is the first clinical investigation reporting a decrease in blood O2 saturation and an increase in pulse rates of the surgeons after the operations due to surgical mask usage. This change in SpO2 may be either due to the facial mask or the operational stress, since similar changes were observed in the group performing surgery without a mask. However, it cannot be decided whether stress plays any role on the late changes, namely pulse rate increase and SpO2 level decrease; since surgeons are not allowed to perform major surgery without a facial mask in most institutions. In order to better elucidate the effects of stress, a randomized control study should have
been conducted in a more controlled environment with different sorts of workers from different gender who are or are not used to wearing face masks on (such as anesthesiologists, nurses) also working the same durations. Thus, it is important not to generalize the results of this preliminary study, and further studies involving measurement of gas tensions over time, both from blood and from samples obtained under the mask (in order to show a presumed build-up of CO2 under the mask) have to be carried out to elucidate this issue.
If it is so hard to figure out how masks affect surgeons and we have no good data on that, how can we know how masks affect the general public, especially when we have many different people with different health statuses, who are wearing masks while performing a variety of activities in different surroundings, with variable weather and humidity conditions, often for extended periods of time.
US work regulations have very strict rules for oxygen levels in the workplace and fit tests and instructions for persons required to wear masks in the workplace. However, when it comes to the public, masks of any sort are being mandated for all, without any concern for the individual’s ability to wear a mask safely. Hear what they have to say about wearing masks, fit tests, and health precautions3.
“Now that dentists have reopened their doors, they’re having patients show up with a nasty set of symptoms, which the doctors have dubbed ‘mask mouth,’” reports FOX News. “The new oral hygiene issue — caused by, you guessed it, wearing a mask all the time to prevent the spread of the coronavirus — is leading to all kinds of dental disasters like decaying teeth, receding gum lines and seriously sour breath.”
“We’re seeing inflammation in people’s gums that have been healthy forever, and cavities in people who have never had them before,” Dr. Rob Ramondi, a dentist and co-founder of One Manhattan Dental, told FOX News.
Beyond embarrassing and painful, dental infections are life-threatening confirms a study by the American Stroke Association:
“Patients with gum disease were twice as likely to have a stroke caused by hardening of large arteries within the brain than those without gum disease.”One Manhattan Dental told FOX News that they estimate 50% of their patients are suffering from mask-induced dental problems.
The dentists theorize that the oral infections are largely caused by people’s tendency to mouth breathe while wearing a mask. Mouth breathing has many more side-effects other than dental infections. Bypassing the nasal cavity denies the body of nitric oxide (a critical blood vessel dilator). The nasal cavity also warms and purifies air before hitting the lungs4.
Unknown Aspects of Mask Wearing
Many potential harms may arise from broad public policies to wear masks, and the following unanswered questions arise:
While most studies have explored the functionality and effectiveness of the masks, this study is about the masks themselves – are they healthy? In this study the authors explore the possibility that we may be deeply inhaling fibers and other particulates from all the different types of face masks with potentially severe health ramifications for us over the long term.
There is no biological history of mass masking until the current era. It is important to consider possible outcomes of this society-wide experiment. The consequences to the health of individuals is as yet unknown. Masked individuals have measurably higher inspiratory flow than non-masked individuals. This study is of new masks removed from manufacturer packaging, as well as a laundered cloth mask, examined microscopically. Loose particulate was seen on each type of mask. Also, tight and loose fibers were seen on each type of mask. If every foreign particle and every fiber in every facemask is always secure and not detachable by airflow, then there should be no risk of inhalation of such particles and fibers. However, if even a small portion of mask fibers is detachable by inspiratory airflow, or if there is debris in mask manufacture or packaging or handling, then there is the possibility of not only entry of foreign material to the airways, but also entry to deep lung tissue, and potential pathological consequences of foreign bodies in the lungs6.
Doctors Hospital Pediatric Emergency Department says they have been diagnosing and treating an increased number of children with a rash on the face, extremities, neck, and other areas of the body.
The rash called, Impetigo is considered to be a highly contagious rash from a bacterial infection that can be worsened by wearing contaminated masks.
…
After recently treating five children with cases of impetigo in mask-like patterns in a single day, Dr. Delacruz is warning parents what to be on the lookout for.
Margarete Greisz Brisson is a German neurologist practicing in London and Germany.
The much-loved mouth and nose cover … humans can live weeks without food and days without water but only minutes without oxygen and without breathing. The rebreathing of our exhaled air will without a doubt create oxygen deficiency and a flooding with carbon dioxide. But we know that the human brain is so sensitive to oxygen deprivation. There are nerve cells, for instance, in the hippocampus, that can’t be longer than three minutes without oxygen. They can’t survive. The acute warning symptoms are headaches, drowsiness, dizziness, concentration, slowdown in reaction time, the reactions of the cognitive system. But chronic oxygen deprivation – all those symptoms disappear because people get used to it, you get used to it. But your efficiencies will remain impaired and oxygen undersupply in your brain continues to progress. We know that neurodegenerative diseases lead years to decades so if today you forget your phone number, the breakdown in your brain already started twenty or thirty years ago. While you’re thinking you have gotten used to your mask and your own exhaled air, the neurodegenerative processes in your brain are getting amplified through the oxygen deprivation, continue to go down.
The second problem of the brain is that the nerve cells are not properly dividing themselves. So, in case the government generously lets us go back to without masks and we are allowed to breathe oxygen again, the lost nerve cells will no longer be regenerated. What is gone, is gone.
This is extremely important for fearful people who actually think they are protecting themselves from the viruses. The virus has approximately a size of 0.0 micrometers; the pores of the masks have a size of 80-500 micrometers and are getting bigger through each washing – they get bigger. The common masks do not at all protect you from a virus. I do not wear a mask. I need my brain to think. I want to have a clear head when I deal with my patients. A clear mind and not in a carbon dioxide anesthesia.
…
For children -masks are an absolute no-no. Children and adolescents have an extremely adaptive and active immune system and need the constant dealing with the microbiome of the earth. And their brain is also insanely active – it has so much to learn. The child’s brain or the youth’s brain is thirsting for oxygen. The more metabolically active an organism is, the more oxygen it needs. In children and adolescents every organ is metabolically active. … It is not only dangerous to their health; it is absolutely criminal. Oxygen deficiency inhibits the development of the brain and the damage because of it cannot be reversed8.
The face mask requirement at school is bad for children’s general well-being and should be abolished, 70 doctors wrote in an open letter to Flemish Education Minister Ben Weyts.
…
“In recent months, the general well-being of children and young people has come under severe pressure,” the letter’s authors said. “We see in our practices an increasing number of children and young people with complaints due to the rules of conduct that have been imposed on them.”
The doctors mentioned anxiety and sleep problems as well as behavioural disorders and germaphobia, which is a pathological fear of germs. They are also seeing an increase in domestic violence, isolation and deprivation.
“Mandatory face masks in schools are a major threat to their development. It ignores the essential needs of the growing child. The well-being of children and young people is highly dependent on emotional attachment to others,” they wrote.
According to them, “the face mask requirement makes school a threatening and unsafe environment, where emotional closeness becomes difficult9.
