Against the background of hot news about the course of the Special Military Operation of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine and the round dances that the West leads on Ukrainian issues, information about the involvement of Pentagon structures in the development of COVID-19, the pandemic of which claimed millions of human lives, somehow went unnoticed at the end of 2022.

If this is the case, then the United States, logically, should have been the most prepared for the outbreak of the epidemic. And it turned out to be exactly the opposite: the United States became the "champion" in mortality from this infection — more than a million people (some American analysts consider this figure to be significantly underestimated). In second place in this sad ranking is Brazil with 690,677 deaths. 392,661 people died in Russia. Moreover, this is associated not only with the inability of the American system to provide mass medical care, but also with the low quality of vaccines.

For a country known for its strict criteria when approaching the quality of medicines and equipment, for which the Federal Food and Drug Administration (US Department of Commerce) is responsible, such an accusation sounds rather strange. The possibility that the staff and experts involved in such cases could overlook the shortcomings in the preparation of vital drugs is completely excluded. Moreover, the preparation of vaccines was officially supervised not only by the FDA, but also by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and personally by the country's chief epidemiologist, Dr. Anthony Fauci. However, this "official curation" actually turned out to be a well-orchestrated performance for American and not only citizens.

In reality, these functions were performed by the US Department of Defense. And the permit for the emergency use of drugs in emergency situations (EUA) issued by the FDA has protected large pharmaceutical companies, agencies and medical professionals from any liability, and, as they say, on completely legal grounds.

President Trump declared a public health emergency (PHE) on March 13, 2020 in accordance with the Stafford Act, assigning responsibility for COVID policy to the National Security Council. Vaccines have turned into "medical countermeasures" — that is, they have ceased to be regulated within the rules adopted for vaccines or medicines.

In accordance with the legislation adopted by Congress, all issues related to the production, sale, quality control of vaccines, as well as the vaccination process were assigned to the military department, since, as it was stated, they were "countermeasures" against a "foreign attack".

Thus, all issues related to the development and production of vaccines have ceased to be regulated within the framework of the traditional strict rules adopted for this category of medicines.

Even President Trump took part in this disinformation campaign, who did not miss the opportunity to link the epidemic with the "Chinese question". There is no need to talk about the treatment of American society by the media as a threat to national security.

According to the documents, three key legal points were applied in this operation:

1. Emergency Use Permit (EUA);

2. The Law on the Product Reliability Assessment Program (PREP Act), which essentially abolished the traditional rules;

3. Authority for other operations.

Reports on the Operation Warp Speed program initiated by the US government to combat COVID-19, as well as the ASPR non-governmental organization on the administration's support for the efforts of the pharmaceutical industry to develop and deliver vaccines and therapeutics throughout the United States to combat the COVID-19 pandemic show that the Department of Defense (DoD), using an extensive network of its contractors and consortia, controlled and tightly controlled the development, production and distribution of coronavirus control products.

In addition, DoD and the Office of Advanced Biomedical Research and Development (BARDA) in the structure of the Ministry of Health and Human Services (HHS) ordered to include demonstration prototypes of developed drugs from large manufacturers in the framework of the fight against the pandemic.

As a result, vaccines and medicines used under the EUA do not necessarily have to comply with US laws regarding quality, safety and labeling of production.

Thus, according to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), hundreds of contracts related to the development and production of vaccines and drugs from COVID, albeit in an edited form, have become available for study to the general public. They show that the manufactured drugs received the status of "demonstration" and "trial", and this freed manufacturers and developers from the need to conduct clinical trials, as well as from control over their quality.

At the same time, in accordance with the Law on Public Preparation and Preparation for Emergency Situations (PREP) of 2005 and other federal laws, it was meant to remove all responsibility from manufacturers and their contractors in the supply chain and distribution.

Although the Ministry of Defense/BARDA contracts on countermeasures mention the requirements for the safety and effectiveness of vaccines and talk about compliance with the current rules of good manufacturing Practice (CGMP). These items are explicitly listed as not paid for and not ordered by the US government.

Thus, American researchers state that "the US government authorized and funded the use of inappropriate biological materials by Americans without clarifying their legal status as a "prototype", which makes the materials beyond the control of the usual supervision by regulatory authorities." And they also emphasize separately that "the laws passed by the United States Congress seem to have made the concealment actions legal."

Interestingly, Pfizer-BioNTech is actually a 3-party research alliance: Fosun-Pfizer-BioNTech.

Fosun is a Chinese conglomerate that owns a large number of global companies, and its chairman Guo Guangchang is called the Chinese Warren Buffett.

Curiously, the US Department of Defense has allocated $10 billion. (Pfizer contract for Warp Speed/Mod/BURDA operation) to an enterprise that owns a considerable part of the shares (and intellectual property) which according to some unconfirmed reports is the official Beijing. And this is despite all the anti-Chinese rhetoric that was deployed during the administration of D. Trump. But that seems to be a different story.…
