Executive Summary: Surveillance

No sources, no pictures, no lengthy paragraphs.

Disease surveillance has been around for a while. In what now seems days of yore, national organisations would call GPs and pharmacies, asking for quantities of ill patients, and prescriptions issued associated with seasonal illness, along with other medicines sold and the occasional survey. But all of that changed with technology, just a few decades ago.

As everything went online, so did the possibility of submitting disease information in larger quantities, an in much shorter intervals. Monthly became weekly, weekly became daily, until we arrived at the point where illnesses of critical importance are submitted in real-time. And while the definition thereof just a decade ago was 60 minutes, it’s now counted in seconds, if that, given fibre optic networks and satellite broadband span the globe. And as for quantity, while influenza was the first illness to be monitored, we today monitor no less than 50, with AIDS, malaria, pneumonia, tuberculosis and covid-19 being a few examples thereof.

But while disease surveillance has increased markedly, there’s been no sign of a reduction in incidence rates whatsoever. In fact, what incidence exist, is typically exaggerated beyond belief by a compliant mainstream media, unwilling to ask tough questions of their advertisers.

In the constitution of the World Health Organisation, health is defined as such - ‘Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity’. In other words, health isn’t just about your health, but also potential input factors deciding said state. Secondary factors.

An alternative word for ‘factor’ in this regard is ‘determinant’. The Determinants of Health. And these break up into many categories. While the ‘Social Determinants’ is probably the most highlighted category, we also have behavioural, commercial, corporate, environmental, political, and even emotional. Yes, your emotional state - arguably a tertiary input factor - now also has a category, each of which break up into a whole range of data inputs, such as educational level, abilities, your income level, postcode, your height, vaccination status, and just about any other measurable factor. The claim is that every single one of these determine your state of health - and consequently, they need to be surveilled just as well. Eventually, this will be real-time just as well - if it isn’t already.

As for your actual, legit state of health, much data can be generated for the purpose of surveillance. Beyond those covid-19 tests we had to send to a lab, we also have those of the common flu. Which medicines you take - and when. Or your visits to the doctor, and for what purpose. Of course, this all leads to question of the exercise in which you engage, and your food intake. In fact, the latter is currently being drawn into the One Health framework at this very minute, through inclusion in the ONE HEALTH JOINT PLAN OF ACTION 2022-26. And as for the medicine you take - some of these further require monitoring, due to issues relating to antimicrobial resistance - which in turn, along with food, draws in livestock and animals in general, both of which are part of our environment, which consequently also needs monitoring.

All of this data - gathered to protect you - ends up on a server, linked to a central database. This database, in real-time, will soon enough face calls to be integrated with credit cards bills, bank records, shopping receipts, your browser history, and anything and everything else you can think of. The database will know everything about you, and have detailed records on everything you do, and everything you ever have done — and with whom. It will know who your friends are, and the name of your neighbours’ ex-wife’s dog. it will know your political persuasion, and should all this data end up in the wrong hands, it would enable a tyranny the likes of which the world has never experienced. And as it’s always on, and global, there will be nowhere to escape.

Especially not, as the plan is for Digital ID soon to be passed into law, and made mandatory as per SDG 16.9.

And not - at any stage - were you briefed or asked about your opinion on this by those politicians allegedly working on your behalf.

Influenza surveillance - as carried out by the World Health Organisation - has existed since 1952.

But that initiative has virtually nothing in common with contemporary efforts.
