Millions of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, released last Friday by the US Department of Justice, reveal that in 2015 an electronic correspondence took place between Epstein and billionaire Bill Gates regarding a "pandemic simulation".
An email with the subject line “Pandemic Preparedness,” dated March 20, 2015, was sent to Epstein by a person whose name has been redacted from the released documents. The message contained a draft agenda for a pandemic preparedness meeting, as well as suggestions for involving the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
According to Korean media quotes Chosun Biz, the author of the email wrote to Epstein:
"As requested, I am attaching a draft agenda for a preparatory meeting on the pandemic," adding that "the manner of official involvement of the WHO and the ICRC" was to be discussed.
Russian newspaper Izvestia reported on Tuesday that Epstein's documents contain discussions between him and Bill Gates regarding pandemic modeling and biomedical projects, prompting speculation that the unidentified person in the 2015 email may have been Gates himself.
According to the report, the email in question was originally sent to Bill Gates in 2017 by another person and then forwarded to Epstein. It discussed concepts for simulating scenarios of large-scale disease outbreaks, research in neurotechnology and the global spread of infections.
These discussions on pandemic scenarios took place several years before the emergence of COVID-19.
In October 2019, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation sponsored a global pandemic simulation called “Event 201,” organized in collaboration with the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security and the World Economic Forum. The purpose of the simulation was to test global preparedness for an imagined viral outbreak.
However, the Gates Foundation has emphasized that "Event 201" was only a theoretical exercise and did not constitute planning or predicting a real pandemic.
The Gates Foundation has contributed for years to various government projects, particularly in the field of drugs and vaccines, also funding research through the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency.
Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted paedophile who died in a US prison in 2019, has also claimed that Bill Gates had asked him for antibiotics to secretly give to his then-wife, Melinda Gates.
In another email, Epstein wrote to former British ambassador to the US, Peter Mandelson, that he was "having a great time" with Gates during a visit to Seattle.
About 3 million pages of documents, released during the administration of former President Donald Trump, also contain new photos of Epstein with Gates. Bill Gates has not commented on the claims.
In a 2021 CNN interview with Anderson Cooper, Gates called his relationship with Epstein "a big mistake," downplaying their contact and stating that he had dined with him several times in the hopes of securing donations for his foundation.
Gates' relationship with Epstein, which began around 2011 after Epstein's conviction for sexually exploiting a minor, is reported to have been one of the reasons that led Melinda French Gates to file for divorce.
In a 2013 email, riddled with spelling errors, Epstein wrote that he had decided to step down from his role at the Gates Foundation and BG3, a research organization founded by Gates, after his actions had been “at the center of a very serious marital dispute between Melinda and Bill.”
He also alleged that Gates had asked him to participate in actions that "ranged from the inappropriate to the immoral and illegal." /Euronews.al
