Great, following the money !
Something very interesting - It would appear that in 2017 The World Fucking Bank started an unregistered (in the USA) securities business and issued a prospectus , basically they pay nations / people per number of deaths ‘events’ of coronavirus and filovirus (Marburg and Ebola) - in 2017 … the WHO is responsible as the reporting body on cases/deaths to then have the World Bank issue funds to nations. https://thedocs.worldbank.org/en/doc/f355aa56988e258a350942240872e3c5-0240012017/original/PEF-Final-Prospectus-PEF.pdf
