Farrar, Key Covid Origins Propagandist, is Set to Be Head Scientist for the WHO as it Attempts "Power Grab"

The head of Wellcome Trust signed both the Lancet letter and helped formulate "Proximal Origins" in Nature Medicine -- the two main pillars of propaganda on Covid origins.

The World Health Organization in December announced that Jeremy Farrar, the head of Wellcome Trust, is slated to become its chief scientist. He’s scheduled to join the “WHO in the second quarter of 2023.”

Farrar played a central role in both pillars of propaganda regarding the origins of Covid in early 2020.

This comes at a time when the WHO is seeking new powers that critics of charged are a “power grab” — see below.

Farrar was, with Peter Daszak and 25 other scientists, a signer of the Lancet letter in February 2020 which illegitimately dismissed the possibility of lab origin of Covid, saying: “We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin.”

Farrar also played a central but still obscured role with the “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2” “correspondence” in Nature Medicine. That piece claimed in March 2020 to “clearly show that SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus.”

While it may be impossible (for now) to know with complete certainty the origins of Covid, what we can state with certainty is that there was a massive propaganda campaign to deceive the global public into thinking that Covid could not have come out of a lab. The Lancet letter and Proximal Origins correspondence were the two main pillars of this successful global propaganda effort.

Farrar was a central figure, and perhaps the central figure, in that propaganda campaign.

No one else signed the Lancet letter and also had an important role in the Nature Medicine article. Though, of course, Tony Fauci, the other clearly central figure, had a similar behind the scenes role with the Nature Medicine article and funded Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance which in turn funded the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Incredibly, the Guardian just published a glowing piece “‘There may still be surprises’: Jeremy Farrar warns of pandemic perils ahead” with a subhead that warns of “the danger of conspiracy theories” — after he illegitimately dismissed the possibility of lab origin as a “conspiracy theory”.

Sarah Boseley of the Guardian, which has been funded by the Gates Foundation, writes of Farrar with a straight face: “Above all, we need transparency, he says.”

But U.S. Right to Know, a transparency group which has filed numerous Freedom of Information Act requests regarding the origins of the highly influential “Proximal Origins” propaganda piece notes regarding Farrar’s correspondence: “Six pages of notes from the Feb. 7 [2020] discussion are fully redacted”:

U.S. Right to Know wrote: “Farrar held a series of teleconferences with about 11 scientists around the world in early February. Fauci attended at least two of these teleconferences, according to a separate email released under FOIA by BuzzFeed News.” See timeline.

The actual signers of “Proximal Origins” included Robert Garry of Tulane and Kristian Andersen of Scripps Research, who are president and vice president of the Viral Hemorrhagic Fever Consortium, which, as previously reported, has been implicated as the possible source for the 2014 Ebola outbreak.

Jeffrey Tucker of the Brownstone Institute has highlighted that Farrar himself wrote of early 2020: “In those weeks, I became exhausted and scared. I felt as if I was living a different person’s life. During that period, I would do things I had never done before: acquire a burner phone, hold clandestine meetings, keep difficult secrets. I would have surreal conversations with my wife, Christiane, who persuaded me we should let the people closest to us know what was going on. I phoned my brother and best friend to give them my temporary number. In hushed conversations, I sketched out the possibility of a looming global health crisis that had the potential to be read as bioterrorism.”

Wellcome Trust can be seen as the closest thing to a British equivalent of the Gates Foundation. It was founded from the pharmaceutical fortune of Burroughs Wellcome, now (following a series of mergers) GlaxoSmithKline.

[This comes at a time when the WHO seems poised to expand its powers. These issues have not been seriously examined in media outside those few outlets already critical of pandemic policies. Law professor Francis Boyle, who drafted the US implementing legislation for the Biological Weapons Convention was among the first to argue that Covid had lab origin. He is now charging that the WHO is pursuing a set of steps to revamp its treaty which “would set up a worldwide medical police state under the control of the WHO”.

[Similarly, Whitney Webb and Johnny Vedmore discuss “Jeremy Farrar & the WHO" in a recent episode of the Unlimited Hangout podcast and issue similar warnings. Among the many things summarized in their discussion are the results of Webb’s in-depth examination of Wellcome Trust’s project Wellcome Leap, which is headed by Regina E. Dugan, who had been head of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, a research arm of the Pentagon.

[See Webb’s piece from 2021: “A ‘Leap’ toward Humanity’s Destruction: The world’s richest medical research foundation, the Wellcome Trust, has teamed up with a pair of former DARPA directors who built Silicon Valley’s skunkworks to usher in an age of nightmarish surveillance, including for babies as young as three months old. Their agenda can only advance if we allow it.”

[Webb also notes that the Wellcome Trust houses the papers of the British Eugenics Society, which changed its name to the Galton Institute in 1989 (after its founder) and more recently to the Adelphi Genetics Forum.

[Dr. Meryl Nass has written and posted several recent pieces including: “The real conspirators who lied about Covid's origin, funded fraudulent trials of therapeutics, and controlled the Covid pandemic are the top public health leaders” about Farrar, which crits the Guardian piece and levels fresh accusations at Farrar. Nass had charged when “Proximal Origins” first appeared that it was propaganda, and that there were people behind the signers. Through FOIA requests, it is clear that Farrar and Fauci were heavily involved. Nass has also been scrutinizing the WHO’s other moves — she has posted a couple of interviews with James Corbett on the WHO Treaty. See her achieve. Meanwhile, Twitter under Musk has actually accelerated its attack on Nass, locking her alternative account.

[In a series of detailed articles, James Roguski charges the WHO is attempting a “power grab”.]

The notion of Farrar being chief scientist of the WHO is absurd on its face — it’s akin to Daszak being named to the WHO and Lancet Commission committees to determine Covid origins.

Such a move would seem to further justify the worst possible interpretation of the agenda being pursued by the WHO and Farrar.

Further, the power the WHO and related institutions may have may very well be used to further shut down online discussion and debate on its stated and actual policies. So, speak now or you may well be forced to forever hold your peace.
