Future pandemics could be even more lethal than COVID-19 so the lessons learned from the outbreak must not be squandered and the world should ensure it is prepared for the next viral onslaught, one of the creators of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine said.

no doubt that BIGpharma, ChInA, FauXi and the WHO
are busy working on much worse KILLERS, especially
genetically targeted, now that they know any
release goes WW in weeks,

AND

anyone can make this, patent it,
and then release it, without accountability.

The part about the largest wealth transfer from taxpayers to the government and wealthy corporations always goes unmentioned, doesn't it?

That was what came to mind

I’ve lived through every pandemic there’s been for the last 65 years

If we haven’t already learned from that, we need a new batch of scientists
