Welcome Trust Made 10 Billion During Pandemic While Leader Pushed Lockdowns
"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."
About this episode
In this episode, the host interviews a guest who presents controversial allegations about financial conflicts of interest during the COVID-19 pandemic. The guest claims the Welcome Trust, a charitable research organization led by Sir Jeremy Farrar, profited approximately 10 billion during the pandemic due to investments in pharmaceutical companies and delivery services like Door Dash, while Farrar advocated for lockdown policies. The conversation focuses heavily on what the guest characterizes as corruption and coordinated manipulation during the pandemic response. Key claims include allegations that Professor Neil Ferguson's Imperial College London modeling, which predicted millions of deaths and justified global lockdowns, was based on flawed, non-peer-reviewed computer code and exponential growth assumptions. The guest points to funding connections between Imperial College and the Gates Foundation. Discussion also covers PCR testing protocols, citing Professor Christian Drosten's diagnostic test being adopted by the WHO just three days after the viral sequence was uploaded in January 2020. The guest alleges the UK government wasted four billion in taxpayer money on rapid antigen tests the FDA recommended discarding. Throughout, the guest argues these events represent not organic health responses but a coordinated transfer of wealth and control, pointing to suspicious timelines and conflicts of interest. The episode includes a mid-conversation sponsor segment about parasite cleansing products.
