The following is from a friend who works in big pharma. The “vaccine” can only be used BECAUSE were in a state of emergency.

If the state of emergency was over then sales of the “vaccine” would stop and it would have to go through all the proper trials. Which it hasn’t at the moment.

What they are doing is one enormous clinical trial - on the sheeple:

Emergency use authorisation is what they've got for the vaccine. Which basically means a big clinical trial justified by a health crisis (e.g. covid).

The authorisation is temporary and the authorised drug or medical device needs to be taken off the market when the crisis is over. Unless you get a proper regulatory approval in the meantime (which for drugs is years... and requires lengthy clinical trials... which now they're getting faster at a larger scale because every government will want it).

The thing that's covered prior to the (temporary) approval is some level of risk assessment that discusses how the benefits to patients outweigh any not mitigated risks. But you can't claim clinical efficacy... because you haven't really done all these lengthy clinical trials yet. There are some early indications it may work well but it's still a big research study sold as "we have the vaccine".

Last but not least, the risk/benefit analysis needs to be continuously updated in a real-time loop of real life feedback from the field (vigilance and post-market surveillance).

Every country in the world is broadly following the same path so there is a central steering committee somewhere.

That would be the WHO.

If it is the WHO that is controlling the entire world’s response to Covid, then why did they retract their stance on face coverings not being effective only after receiving political lobbying from governments? And why after they have now come out and said that lockdowns don’t work, are governments still implementing a them?

current WHO advice is the use of a mask alone is not sufficient to provide an adequate level of protection against COVID-19.

And why after they have now come out and said that lockdowns don’t work, are governments still implementing a them?

OK, two questions there, let's unpack.WHO says do not advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control of this virus, we’d rather not do it.

You'll have to ask you government why it is still implementing them?

It's horrific if it comes to pass. Like Terminator except it isn't even our machines turning on us, it's people. I expect the leaders even kid themselves that they're altruistic. How many history lessons does mankind need on this. The idiots who place themselves in control globally will make Uncle Joe look like a pussycat. I can't believe how many are onboard with it. Most will get a surprise.

We are so close to solving our problems, venturing off our planet and understanding the Universe only to have it blown away by a bunch of megalomaniacs.

I think that was the point the original post was making. Why are governments all over the world implementing lockdowns if it is not coming from the WHO? Is it coming from somewhere higher?

[Is it coming from somewhere higher?

The only thing higher than WHO in th UN? itself. and only God is above that.
