Highlights:
- During the Pandemic, the USA misled the world, now it is leading in the Covid-19 Inquiry but sadly, this time around few countries are following the USA
- Following on the heels of the USA, Argentina formally cuts ties with the WHO and the two countries to launch an alternative to the WHO, “free from Totalitarian Impulses, Corruption, and Political Control.”
- Milking the Covid-19 cow – there is huge money to be made in genomic surveillance

Dr. Amitav Banerjee, the chairman of UHO: I bring to you the weekly newsletter dated May 30, 2025. Today’s newsletter covers several important issues.
The first issue is about the ongoing hearings in the United States Senate. These hearings, which just concluded a day or two ago, involved detailed sessions with various Senate committees. Many experts testified under oath, including those who were previously silenced during the pandemic. Some sensational revelations came to light, which are quite shocking. We will discuss this in detail.
The second issue concerns the fact that the United States had already separated from the WHO, and now Argentina has also formally left WHO. Initially, Argentina had announced its intention to leave, and now the separation is official. The US and Argentina plan to collaborate on international health matters. We will explore the possible reasons behind America’s move toward transparency and why only a few countries are aligning with the US on this. We will also express some concerns about this development.
The third issue is about the resurgence of COVID-19. Genomic surveillance is underway again, and we will discuss what genomic surveillance entails, its costs, benefits, and whether it truly serves public health or is merely profit-driven.
Let us start with the first issue, which is very important and revealed many startling facts. During the pandemic, the US had misled the world. The entire world followed America’s lead. However, recent changes in the US administration, especially in the health sector with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Bhattacharya and others coming in, have led to the removal of many officials from the CDC and FDA who were responsible for the misinformation. The world had been following figures like Anthony Fauci unquestioningly. Fauci had already resigned and even received a presidential pardon before President Biden left office, which was unprecedented in history. This pardon aimed to protect him from any future charges, indicating awareness of possible wrongdoing.
During the pandemic, the world witnessed unprecedented measures for a disease similar to a common cold or flu, with no previous lockdowns of such scale ever recorded. Now, in the US, an inquiry is underway into the actions taken during the pandemic. Senate hearings are ongoing, questioning the steps that were followed and the evidence behind those decisions.
Several experts and doctors, who were suppressed by Fauci and others, have now been allowed to testify. The American government had censored anyone questioning the official narrative. Worldwide, censorship was rampant—doctors, experts, and scientists who questioned policies were silenced, had their freedom of speech taken away, had their platforms demonetized or shut down. YouTube and Facebook blocked content, demonstrating a clear attempt to control information. Controlling information is controlling knowledge and power, which leads to absolute power and absolute corruption.
Anthony Fauci became a medical dictator, even advising the Indian government to impose lockdowns, which WHO praised. We blindly followed these wrong decisions, with experts parroting whatever Fauci and the CDC said. Mask mandates and six-foot distancing were enforced without solid scientific evidence.
Recently, during a Senate hearing, Fauci was asked about the evidence supporting the six-foot distancing rule. Airports had marked six-foot circles everywhere, and people were standing close together on airplanes, showing the absurdity of this rule. Fauci admitted there was no evidence; they just made it up. How could we blindly follow such a person?
Some experts are still promoting mask-wearing and six-foot distancing without evidence. America has moved forward, but we remain stuck in the same cycle.
The officials with ties to pharmaceutical companies and WHO, which has a revolving door with pharma, have been removed. Those connected to these corrupt networks have been cleared out, and new officials are in place. This cleansing is why the inquiry is possible now. If the old officials had remained, nothing of this sort would have happened.
Regarding WHO, the US separated because of conflicts of interest involving pharma and China’s significant influence. China’s interest in WHO is huge and will only grow since, after the US left, China increased its contribution by $500 million. China now controls WHO completely, unlike before when it had substantial influence but not total control.
Many countries remain stuck with WHO, and one wonders about their intentions. Why did the US leave WHO? John F. Kennedy Jr. stated that WHO is a highly corrupt body aiming to become a dictator controlling the world through health mandates. That was the reason for America’s withdrawal.
If other countries continue to stay with WHO, what could their motives be? Are they not going to separate? Are they accepting all of this?
There is complete evidence presented, and the hearing is ongoing right now. During the hearing, some things are coming out that were previously censored. What’s notable is that some media outlets have started speaking up now, which they didn’t do before. For example, media used to suppress news about vaccine side effects. But in this hearing, the biggest sensation was that even the Times of India, India’s leading news outlet, shared the full YouTube link of the hearing.
Among the experts giving testimony was Dr. Peter McLoughlin, a leading cardiology specialist worldwide who has conducted extensive research. He has evidence based on 500 cases and detailed reports on sudden deaths, including in 16- to 18-year-old children who had zero risk before vaccination. The post-mortem reports—autopsies—confirmed that these deaths were caused by myocarditis, which is inflammation of the heart muscle.
Myocarditis has occurred in both young and old, but notably among the young. Approximately 74% of these sudden deaths were due to myocarditis caused by the vaccine, as proven by post-mortem examinations.
Think about it: young people in America who had no prior risk. This sensational news has been linked by the Times of India, as well as The Hindu and Business Standard. Earlier, such information was hidden or blocked by the media, but now they are openly reporting it.
We keep citing the Times of India because recently our content was blocked, so we are referencing their report. This is very sensational news.
Another important point gives us an estimate of what’s happening in our country. Experts analyzing big data said that for every 800 doses of the COVID vaccine administered, 1 person experiences a serious adverse effect such as blood clots, myocarditis, or stroke. These are severe side effects that can even result in death—1 in 800 is a significant figure.
Here, after immunization, we do not have proper surveillance to track adverse events. This new genomic surveillance is intended to address that. But if such a large-scale intervention—vaccinating so many people—is done without adequate surveillance, how can we accurately count adverse events?
If people report side effects, they are not properly noted. We calculated that with 200 crore (2 billion) doses administered officially—which we proudly claim is the largest vaccination drive—if 1 in 800 doses causes serious adverse events, then there should be about 25 lakh (2.5 million) serious adverse events.
Now tell me, where are these 2.5 million cases? Our official adverse event reporting system captures less than 1%, maybe even less than 0.1%. The reports are nowhere near 10,000 or even 1,000 cases.
Even if we take a conservative estimate of 10 lakh or 15 lakh, the number is still huge.
Here’s something strange: two days ago, some experts in India were saying the vaccines are safe and effective. One very prominent clinician said on TV that Covishield—the vaccine given in India—is better than the mRNA vaccines.
Their reasoning is that since mRNA vaccines were used more in America, and Covishield was used here, Covishield is safer. This surprised me because it is well documented that Covishield (also known as AstraZeneca) had many more serious side effects, especially blood clots in young people, compared to mRNA vaccines.
In Europe, America, and Australia, AstraZeneca was suspended for people under 50 due to these risks, and many countries banned it because of its serious side effects. Australia’s data also shows AstraZeneca had more side effects than mRNA vaccines.
America never licensed AstraZeneca because serious side effects like strokes were reported during trials, especially in women. The company that manufactured AstraZeneca withdrew it from the market last year or the year before because of ongoing court cases in the UK related to vaccine-induced thrombocytopenic thrombotic events (blood clots).
When a company itself withdraws a product citing defects and legal cases, it means something is seriously wrong. Meanwhile, mRNA vaccines have not been withdrawn but have restrictions in children and pregnant women.
Therefore, AstraZeneca had more issues despite what some clinicians say.
I don’t blame the clinicians because their experience is limited. Even a top clinician is unlikely to see 800 patients with serious adverse effects; they only see the 799 who are fine and dismiss the 1 as coincidental.
This is why adverse events should be monitored at the population level. India is a large country with 200 crore doses administered. According to recorded data and calculations, about 25 lakh serious adverse events should have been observed.
A single clinician would not see this volume, which is why we emphasize the need for an automated digital surveillance system with AI feedback to accurately report vaccine adverse events, similar to systems in other countries.
Even those systems capture only 5-10% of adverse events, but here we are not even capturing 0.1%.
This under-reporting causes significant harm. Numerous young people in India have died post-vaccination, but these deaths are considered incidental or ignored. Some cases are in court, but irresponsible statements from experts claiming Covishield is better than mRNA may bias even judges.
Clinicians only see a limited sample and will not recognize the full scope of adverse events.
Big data analysis shows that with 200 crore doses, about 25 lakh adverse events could occur, which shocked me when I calculated it. This data is calculated from multiple sources and is very important.
America has demonstrated strong democracy and transparency in this regard. During the pandemic, information was suppressed due to conflicting interests and WHO influence, which led the US to separate from WHO and demand transparency.
Other countries, including India with its large democracy, are also conducting such hearings. The strongest hearings are currently happening in the US Senate. The UK had parliamentary hearings too, although less impactful.
Our country has a vast democracy and a new large parliamentary building. We deserve the same level of transparency and accountability in handling vaccine safety.
In summary, are they really going to tolerate all this without taking action? The evidence is clear and growing, and this is the moment for transparency and responsibility.
Has there ever been any discussion about all these things—what all we took during the pandemic, how much benefit and how much harm it caused? Because this is very important. After every pandemic, after every war, all the generals sit down and analyze where we lost, where we won, so it helps in the next war. Even after a cricket match, the captain and coach have meetings to discuss mistakes and corrections. A pandemic should be treated the same way. After every pandemic, this kind of review should happen. This is not happening in our country; it’s happening in the US. It’s useful for the next pandemic. Our country is the biggest democracy, yet no one is talking about this, no one is asking. People should know this information, they should speak to their representatives, there should be parliamentary debates and hearings about what mistakes were made here, who made them. Mistakes happen, omission acts happen, that’s fine, but many did it knowingly, some had conflicts of interest.
What role did Bill Gates play? What role did the pharmaceutical companies play? Many have strong interests—what are they? Even after all this, if we still align with the WHO, that’s fine. Other countries have chosen not to, that’s their choice. But the WHO, which calls itself a global world body, should prepare properly for the next pandemic. They are not doing that; they are not even willing to admit mistakes. WHO is fine with itself; if someone else says something, it’s called misinformation. They want to quickly sign a pandemic treaty for the next pandemic, making it stricter. But ignoring the damages, which are now coming up in senior hearings in the US, all countries except a few, like Argentina and some smaller countries, are going along with WHO. Why is everyone going along? All the policymakers, including academicians and scientists whose careers depend on pandemics, new variants, and research grants—they have been exposed in the US. Even top research journals have been called out as sold out because they publish papers that promote the narrative.
In our country, the ones who are not following WHO currently—this will reveal whether they have some interests. So this is one piece of news. We have reported that so many vaccine adverse events are surfacing in the US. So, why keep your eyes closed and blindly follow? Why aren’t they following now? Because they don’t benefit from it anymore. They followed the wrong path when the military gang was involved because the military was involved and everyone was washing their hands in the flowing river. Now, that group has moved away from that river and another river is flowing—WHO and China. Talking about China as well, Argentina has officially separated from WHO and has promised collaboration with the US. This is hopeful for our members and us. If this succeeds, with the US and Argentina coming together one by one, public pressure might make other countries slowly leave WHO too and form an alternative that is transparent, with inquiries after every pandemic and every disease.
This gives us a ray of hope. The other news is that Argentina has officially left WHO, and Argentina and the US will collaborate and have opened the door for other countries to join as an alternative. They are not against global cooperation; neither is Argentina nor the US. But they want it to be honest, transparent, and free of any conflict of interest.
The third and final news is about genomic surveillance in our country. You must have heard about the naming of new variants as A, B, C, D, etc. So, what is genomic surveillance? It is very expensive. Health economics says genomic surveillance is a good tool useful in precision medicine, but if it is so costly, then it should be used only for diseases where treatment changes because of it. In our country, such diseases exist; the best example is tuberculosis (TB). Today, when a TB patient comes, we do CBNAAT and other tests from experts which tell us about drug resistance. The tests currently used for TB tell us resistance to only one drug for rifampicin-resistant TB. If resistance is not found, multi-drug treatment with three to four drugs is started. But it has been found that many drugs are not free initially, and some patients already need genomic surveillance to determine their drug resistance profile.
Genomic surveillance can profile all 18 anti-tuberculosis drugs to tell which drugs will work for that patient. If we do genomic surveillance for every TB patient, testing their bacterial strains, we can select the right drugs from the start and cure 100%. Currently, cure rates are low because we don’t have full genomic surveillance facilities for TB. Every day, 1,400 people die from TB in our country, while COVID cases have just reached a thousand, and people are making a big fuss about that. It took less than a month, even less than 15 days, to reach a thousand COVID cases, but 1,400 people die daily from TB. India contributes 26% of the world’s TB cases, the highest, yet we are not doing genomic surveillance for TB. We are doing it for a common cold, where we find out if there is a new variant—what will you do with that? The coronavirus is a virus that has had thousands of variants over centuries, some emerge and some don’t.
Let me tell you about the cost: one genomic surveillance machine costs around 1.5 crore rupees, and each test costs between 12,000 and 15,000 rupees. You have to perform 96 tests together, so for each patient, the test costs 15,000 rupees. TB’s genomic surveillance costs only 6,000 rupees. Think about it: TB is a deadly disease killing 1,400 people daily, but no one dies from COVID directly. People die with COVID but from other diseases. TB causes direct deaths—1,400 every day.
The mortality rate of the Omicron variant is ten times lower than the original virus. The second variant also has very low mortality. Most deaths occur incidentally in people with comorbidities, who might be getting artificial ventilation. You can question whether to call it a COVID death or not. Viruses keep emerging, 50 different viruses may emerge; why do we call only one the cause of death? They won’t admit that.
It’s important to explain the cost of the machine—1.5 crore rupees—and that testing is being done for common colds where treatment will not change. For these emerging variants, focus on treating other diseases like diabetes, hypertension, renal failure, and obesity for overall good health. Then any virus’s mortality will be near zero, especially among young and healthy people.
These are today’s issues. We urgently need genomic surveillance for TB, which we are not doing properly. Everywhere you see calls to increase testing and genomic surveillance. Political leaders want to increase genomic surveillance; scientists are happy to get a 1.5 crore machine with many extras and get paid per test. There must be some benefit. If you buy such an expensive machine, you will use it—for genomic surveillance of flu, common cold, etc. That’s fine, but doing it for TB is more important.
This is wrong planning with the wrong people while we stay aligned with WHO and China. On one side, there is China; on the other, WHO, and WHO and China sleep together because when it was revealed that the virus came from a lab, WHO did not investigate properly that it came from a Chinese lab. Everyone admits China has strong influence, and it will only increase. Yet we continue to follow WHO.
So, this is the news in today’s newsletter. Please give your feedback. Thank you.
