[Tabletop] ‘A World At Risk’ W.H.O. “Prepare world for lethal Respiratory Pandemic & Universal Vaccine” Sept 2019
In September 2019, A World at Risk scenario – WHO/WorldBank – “Prepare for the Worst: A Rapidly Spreading, Lethal Respiratory Pathogen Pandemic” – all countries must be prepared by September 2020, including developing a system for immediately sharing of genome sequences, means to share medical countermeasures across countries, and commit to financing and development of a universal vaccine.
September 18 2019
The document “A World At Risk” written by Global Preparedness Monitoring Board** (an arm of the World Health Organization & The World Bank), is used as a live scenario in October 2019, stated that
“We need a coordinated global experience of an accidental or intentional respiratory pathogen release which must be completed by September 2020 to put in place a universal capacity for public relations management, crowd control and the acceptance of a universal flu vaccine”.
**Global Preparedness Monitoring Board includes –
- WHO and World Bank Group (01) (02)
- WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and World Bank Group President Dr Jim Yong Kim co-led the creation of the Global Preparedness
- Dr Christopher Elias, President Global Development Program, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation USA
- Mr Elhadj As Sy, Co-Chair GRMB Secretary General, International Federation Red Cross & Red Crescent Societies.
- Dr. Anthony S Fauci, Director National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases USA
- Dr. George F Gao, Director-General Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention PRC
- H.E. Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland, Co-Chair GPMB, Former Prime Minister Norway, Former Director-General World Health Organization
- Dr. Victor Dzau, President of The National Academy of Medicine USA
- Heads of United Nations agencies & political leaders (03)
So, a couple of months before there’s an alleged pathogen, in September 2019, A World at Risk scenario was published stating that we need to “Prepare for the Worst: A Rapidly Spreading, Lethal Respiratory Pathogen Pandemic”, and that all countries must be prepared for this by September 2020. Including developing a system for immediately sharing of genome sequences of any new pathogen along with the means to share limited medical countermeasures across countries, and commit to financing and development of a universal influenza vaccine.
The language of an intentional release of a respiratory pathogen was written into the scenario that quote “must be completed by September 2020.”

Global Preparedness Reports
They have since put out 2 more reports (which I haven’t had the time to go through yet):
- From Worlds Apart to a World Prepared – Annual Report 2021 – In October 2021, the GPMB published its third annual report, ‘From Worlds Apart to a World Prepared’. The report argues that the failures of the COVID-19 pandemic were rooted in inequality and inaction and exacerbated by geopolitical division. The Board calls for a renewed global social contract and lays out six solutions for a safer world.
- A World In Disorder – Annual Report 2020 – In September 2020, the GPMB published its second report, ‘A World In Disorder’. The Board described how the COVID-19 pandemic had revealed a collective failure to take pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response seriously. It called for urgent action across five areas: responsible leadership, strong and agile national and global systems, engaged citizenship, sustained investment, and robust global governance.
