Bill Gates has announced the creation of a pandemic “GERM” team that will monitor sovereign nations and decide when they need to suspend people’s civil liberties, force them to wear masks, and close borders.

“We need a permanent organization of experts who are fully paid and prepared to mount a coordinated response to a dangerous outbreak at any time. In my book, I propose that we call this group the GERM—Global Epidemic Response and Mobilization—team,” writes Gates on his website.

“The team’s disease monitoring experts would look for potential outbreaks. Once it spots one, GERM should have the ability to declare an outbreak and work with national governments and the World Bank to raise money for the response very quickly. Product-development experts would advise governments and companies on the highest-priority drugs and vaccines.”

Gates continues, saying that the team would coordinate with various countries to determine “how and when to implement border closures and recommend mask use.”

“… Militaries regularly run war games to evaluate their readiness—we should do the same with disease threats. In most countries, these exercises can be run by local public health and military leaders, with GERM acting as an advisor and reviewer. For some low-income countries, the world should invest in building this capacity and lend resources as needed.”

According to Gates, the global team will be made up of 3,000 disease experts under World Health Organization (WHO) purview and will receive around $1 billion per year in funding.

And who better to assemble such a team than Bill Gates? After all, Gates appears to have a crystal ball into pandemics.

On October 18, 2019, just weeks before China told the world about COVID-19, the John Hopkins Center for Health Security held Event 201 in partnership with the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

With unparalleled foresight, participants of Event 201 modelled a “fictional coronavirus pandemic” — almost identical to COVID-19 — that would demand a top-down global response and the collusion of various national governments and international organizations.

Gates’ announcement of the GERM team coincides with the World Health Organization’s drafting of a global pandemic treaty.

As previously reported by The Counter Signal, the pandemic treaty was introduced during a WHO Special Session entitled “The World Together” in December 2021.
