Sep 2019: Farrar/Fauci/Gao et al (Global Preparedness Monitoring Board, p15): The chances of a global pandemic are growing. While scientific and technological developments provide new tools that advance public health .. they also allow for disease-causing microorganisms to be engineered or recreated in laboratories.

A deliberate release would complicate outbreak response; .. security measures would come into play limiting information-sharing and fomenting social divisions (check). Taken together, naturally occurring, accidental, or deliberate events caused by high-impact respiratory pathogens pose “global catastrophic biological risks.”

This demonstrates Farrar (and Fauci/Gao) were well-aware of the danger of a lab accident and/or bioweapons scenario - exactly at the time Covid emerged.

Logic tells you Farrar/Fauci/Gao must have immediately thought it was a lab-escape when the news first broke - as did Bat Lady as did the Prox Origin authors. Months later Farrar was tag-teaming with Daszak in name-calling anyone who said the same thing as a conspiracy theorist.

Nov 6, 2019: Farrar/Koopmans/Nature: (T)he fast-developing field of genomic epidemiology ..and artificial intelligence will bring more opportunities to move towards ‘precision public health’.

In the fast developing field of western scientists (including Wellcome ones) holding hands with totalitarianism, ‘Precision health’ is bringing more opportunities to profile/control Uyghurs.

However:

Farrar/Koopmans: (I)t will be a challenge to persuade countries to invest in a new surveillance system, for example, before its general effectiveness has been demonstrated at a country level.

The above quotes were used earlier - sorry for the repeats - in trying to draw the threads together they keep sticking in my head. At some stage in Jan 2020, Farrar went from:
assuming/knowing Covid was a lab-exit
to:
orchestrating a narrative to shield the CCP - his partner in genomic surveillance programs.

Did his futurist mind see Covid as an ‘opportunity in a crisis’ to ‘demonstrate the effectiveness’ of this new surveillance system vision - as well as save his grand plans from an inevitable crash in public trust if the truth was told? Apart from the lab-leak component, Covid is the Shakespearean 'high tide' dream (which also means 'orgasm' in Chinese) come true for Farrar.

Farrar/Koopmans/Nature: Preparing for epidemics, therefore, requires global health, economic and political systems to be integrated. .. (T)he WHO’s Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Framework brings together nation states, industry, other stakeholders and the WHO to implement a global approach to pandemic preparedness and response.

(Check. All that came true. WHO/Tedros operating as the public face - Farrar calling the shots.)

Key governance components include drafting policies in advance and being willing to implement those policies for data collection.

They were willing alright. Ready, willing and able - thanks to Jeremy’s foresight.
