Flashback, 2009: Swine flu (H1N1) will be biggest pandemic ever, warns world health chief https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/jul/16/swine-flu-pandemic-who-warning
This this happened: "UK, Dept of Health initially announced around 65,000 deaths were to be expected...By January 2010, fewer than 5,000 persons had been registered as having caught the disease and about 360 deaths had been noted," MP Flynn, vice chair of health committee
CDC says H1N1 infected 61 million Americans during the pandemic and killed around 12,000 Americans.

The Council of Europe, political forum of European countries, as a result of mild mortality, accuses WHO of lack of transparency over pandemic, misrepresenting pandemic’s dangers, that its scientists had undisclosed conflicts w/pharma companies, and that https://bit.ly/2R3WLcn
(continued) it had made countries stockpile billions of dollars of perishable antivirals & influenza vaccines and provoked unjustified fears

In 2013 there were big headlines, maybe the WHO hadn't misrepresented and created panic after all?
“2009 swine flu outbreak was 15 times deadlier: study”
These studies got a lot of attention and still reside on Wikipedia, where NON and MISexperts cite them authoritatively...

"In May (2009) in what it admitted was a direct response to the outbreak of swine flu the month before, WHO promulgated a new definition matched to swine flu that simply eliminated severity as a factor. You could now have a pandemic with zero deaths..." https://www.forbes.com/2010/02/05/world-health-organization-swine-flu-pandemic-opinions-contributors-michael-fumento.html
Remember in 2001 when Neil Ferguson of Imperial College wiped out the economy of UK, had tens of millions of animals killed. And his modelling was wrong.

Remember in 2005 when Neil Ferguson of Imperial College said up to 150 million people could die. And his modelling was wrong
Covid-19: the study from Imperial College that drove urgent UK/US government policy was not peer reviewed; unlkely it was externally reviewed at all.
The computer code used to produce the estimates were, by Ferguson’s own admission, old, unverified and documented inadequately

Flashback: 2015 Zika outbreak in Latin America, a terrifying virus that caused babies of infected women to be born with shrunken heads and serious brain damage. Imperial modelled the epidemic and said in a July 2016 paper:
“We expect the current epidemic to be largely over in 3 years, with seasonal oscillations in incidence caused by variation in mosquito populations and transmissibility”
And here’s what happened. It didn’t take 3 years with seasonal returns. It was gone within one.
