What was said

"The welcome trust is this charitable organization that funds research scientific research at the time of the pandemic was led by Sir Jeremy Ferrar. They made about 10 billion during the pandemic, right? Because of their portfolio, because they were heavily invested in pharmaceutical companies. For example, one of the companies which wasn't pharmaceutical was Door Dash, which is an online food delivery service. And Jeremy Forma was instrumental in pushing for lockdowns."

A guest reveals that the Welcome Trust, led by Sir Jeremy Farrar during the pandemic, generated approximately 10 billion in profits due to heavy investments in pharmaceutical companies and services like Door Dash. The guest alleges this created a conflict of interest as Farrar simultaneously advocated for lockdown policies that would benefit these investments. The claim suggests financial incentives may have influenced public health recommendations during COVID-19.
