Last week, my non-profit liber-net unveiled a new database of U.S. government awards to mis-dis-and-malinformation (MDM) and other content control initiatives. A previous Network Affects post broke down where that money came from. This one details where the money went.
Where the Money Went: USG Funding to Counter-Mis/Disinformation Initiatives Read Journal Article
The language continues to contradict previous WHO understanding and public health norms, promoting whole-of-government and whole-of-society approaches rather than proportionate measures that minimize long-term harm, and ignores the basic policy requirement of considering any resource allocations against other competing priorities.
Commentary on the WHO’s Draft Pandemic Agreement: Pointless Verbiage Read Journal Article
This is an excellent start to taking the threat of lab-derived pandemics seriously. Obviously, we need a global ban and global enforcement. The Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) could be strengthened to meet this need.
