  1. Much neeeded to save life ! Started on youtube in 2020 motivational channel , will surely come on ted some day !

    • NO! They are a political organization and have disqualified themselves with absolutely terrible decision making. Such as continued travel during the initial stages of the outbreak, politicizing testing in Hong Kong, giving false and inaccurate medical advice such as early intubation leading to the death of thousands, and halting studies on drug trials for monetary and political purposes.

  2. If you give up a little bit of Liberty for little bit of security you deserve neither Liberty or security cows do not know they are going to The Slaughterhouse until it’s too late

  3. Next pandemic? This thing was a plandemic. It’s about tracking YOU! No privacy, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide if they employ these scary Orwellian methods. This is absolutely terrifying!

  4. I would like to start a conversation with people about when we will see a law suit against the C.D.C. for not doing their job correctly.. This is taken from their very title description. Control of disease (s),

  5. Well this is a step up from trying to scam people with emails. The boss of this operation is now running the WHO. Africans seem to to lead the world in the art of grafting.

  6. I swear something similar to this was posted on ted several months before COVID19 was a thing saying smart technologies can now warn of us pandemics before they become a major problem. I guess it wasn’t used for COVID19 or it promised something it can’t follow through on. I wish I could remember what it was titled, probably about 6 months ago. (sorry kinda unrelated to this video) just wondering if anyone else remembers what I’m talking about.
