Abbreviation	C19/BB
This page highlights the involvement of ~ 200 Bilderbergers in the COVID-19 event.

Many of those listed below are also on the list of COVID-19 WEF perpetrators

Over 10% of the 1812 Bilderbergers alive in the 2020s played major roles in the COVID-19 event. Many, perhaps most, of the below played various roles; this page attempts to list them under their most important. Steering committee members (both present and former) are underlined.

Bilderbergers have taken part in "pandemic planning" exercises and many were active in early 2020, promoting fear and doubt and setting the scene for COVID event, controlling the narrative to promote fear of the "novel deadly virus". In May 2020, at least 14 signed Uniting Behind A People’s Vaccine Against COVID-19 a call to create an infrastructure capable of rapidly injecting everyone in the world with the COVID jabs which they correctly predicted would appear. They populated COVID task forces and locked the world down, uncritically pushed the "vaccine" to the point of announcing mandates.

The following Bilderberg worked developing the CRISPR gene editing technique:

Preventing Global Catastrophic Biological Risks, held in February 2020 before the Munich Security Conference, attended by three veteran Bilderberger pandemic planners: Gro Harlem Brundtland, Sam Nunn and Avril Haines

• Bernard Cazeneuve - 2018 - In 2017 attended the founding ceremony of the BSL-4 lab at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, together with Yves Lévy, whose wife abruptly banned over-the-counter sales of hydroxychloroquine in France in January 2020, declaring it "poisonous" without explanation.

• Sean Parker - 2010 - Billionaire who was the first to gain NIH approval for a trial of CRISPR

Pandemic Planning

Full article: Pandemic/Planning

Many Bilderbergers have worked repeatedly at Pandemic Planning; the group has been well represented at such exercises for at least 20 years. Those with the most obvious ties:

• Stefan Löfven - 2013 - As Swedish PM, managed the Swedish Covid measures.

Lockdowns

Full article: COVID-19/Lockdown

A WEF tweet which was quickly deleted after it raised criticism.

Most nation states decreed what was termed a "lockdown", i.e. a drastic restriction of freedom of movement. This was in opposition to the 2019 WHO best practice guide for pandemics, which specifically advised against this practice. As of Summer 2021, there is little scientific evidence that these measures had any measurable impact on spread of COVID-19, but this claim remains part of the COVID-19 official narrative.

Masks

Full article: Mask

Masks are used to prevent bacterial spread, but viruses are far smaller. There is minimal evidence for their efficacy against COVID-19. but clear evidence of the social impact such as decreasing empathy, increasing fear and violence. Health experts suggest their use was only suitable for COVID-19 sufferers,to prevent spread, but this was suddenly reversed after SDS pressure, and their use was uncritically (and unscientifically) promoted, and even mandated.

Bain & Company's instructions on how workplaces should change due to COVID-19

• Dianne Feinstein - 1991 - In July 2020 proposed withholding COVID-19 relief from states without mask mandates. Both she and her husband sold stock in Allogene Therapeutics in 2021 before the lockdowns.

Ventilators

In 2020, part of the medical malpractice was the widespread use of ventilators to treat those diagnosed (or sometimes assumed ^{[Citation Needed]}) to have COVID-19. Heavy censorship was directed to those who presented evidence that this lead to more deaths, not less.

BOOST describes itself as "a regional acceleration programme, powered by UNDP"

• Ömer Koç - 2022, 2017-2019 - Chair of Koç Holding, a "partner of the World Economic Forum and Turkey’s largest investment holding company", a subsidiary of which, Arçelik, which the WEF reported "is undertaking the mass production of life-saving mechanical ventilators to help the country avoid possible shortages".

Promoting panic

Full article: COVID-19/Panic

Commercially-controlled media's coverage of COVID-19 was a more-or-less monotone echo of the fear-driven official narrative, while calmer, more scientific voices “were never invited to the expert table”, as the editor of Bild admitted in August 2021.

• James Fallows - 2018 - Wrote years of stories The 3 Weeks That Changed Everything... Here we stand, on a mountain of dead.”(2020) .. " did everything we could to get vaccines as soon as they were available. We’ve had all the boosters at each stage since then." (2022) "The Wuhan Institute of Virology, in China. Is this where the catastrophic Covid pandemic began?" (2023)
• Shiraz Maher - 2015 - A "terrorism expert" who reported case "classified as “mild” by British health authorities". His "horrifying account of his experience with COVID-19" was picked up by the commercially-controlled media after being widely promoted on Twitter.
• John Micklethwait - 2019-2009, 2007 - Co-authored The Wake-Up Call with Adrian Wooldridge. A promotional article, How the West was lost, concluded "For all its awfulness, the Covid-19 pandemic is an alarm call... It’s not too late to wake up to the fact that the West is losing its pre-eminence. We still have time to repair the damage. But we don’t have that much time — and the Eastern world is forging ahead while we are still dithering. Whatever we do, we cannot afford to hit the snooze button."
• Kenneth Rogoff - 2012 - Former IMF economist whose dire predictions in early 2020 were widely reported in commercially-controlled media. Also predicted that COVID would speed the move away from cash

“Every time I open the obituary pages of the local newspaper, I find so many people that I know have died. A whole generation is being wiped out.”
Beppe Severgnini (25 April 2020) 

• Beppe Severgnini - 2017 - Italian editor/journalist who reported from north Italy in March 2020, stating in April 2020 that "a whole generation is being wiped out".

Censorship

Full article: COVID-19/Censorship

"I urge world leaders to fully support the Global Vaccination Strategy I launched with the World Health Organization last month. We need to get vaccines into the arms of 40 per cent of people in all countries by the end of this year [2021] — and 70 per cent by mid-2022."

• António Guterres - 2005, 1990 - In March 2020, as UN secretary general, asked for increased censorship by big tech of online "hate speech" in response to COVID-19. In October 2021, advocating swift vaccination of the whole world's population.

Big tech is notoriously opaque in its censorship, which reached record heights in 2020/21 on the topic of COVID-19, as predicted by Event 201. Involvement in censorship is difficult to prove, but it seems likely that censorship was carried out with the agreement of (or at the behest of) the following chief execs:

• Jared Cohen - 2019, 2018 - Jigsaw CEO (formerly Google Ideas)
• Reid Hoffman - 2019-2014, 2012, 2011, LinkedIn Executive Chairman

“China has taken the strongest measures to contain the spread of the virus compared to the rest of the world, with a mixture of distinctive solutions, from the world’s most severe lockdown in Wuhan to the generalized use of digital tools. It has paid off.”
Viviana Zhu (16 December 2020) 

• Henri de Castries - 2002-2019, 2023 Chair of the Bilderberg Steering Committee, founded the Institut Montaigne, which was busy monitoring COVID "disinformation", and promoting the official narrative about the importance of locking up citizens etc.

"Vaccines"

Full article: “COVID-19/Vaccine”

Audrey Azoulay, UNESCO Director general, "Every day, people are searching for a path out of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, scientific international cooperation and vaccines have created hope that a brighter future is within reach..."

The experimental gene therapies always referred to by commercially-controlled media as "COVID-19 vaccinations" received emergency use authorisations which could not have been given if alternative treatments were available. It was therefore necessary to sideline drug therapies.

R & D

The interviewer, John Snow covered his mouth after this remark, interrupted him, hesitated and did not ask any further questions.

• John Bell - 2013 - Gates Foundation, GAVI researcher whose interests include DNA mutation, on the UK Vaccine Task Force, who stated in an interview that “These [COVID-19] vaccines are unlikely to completely sterilize a population. They're very likely to have an effect which works in a percentage. Say, 60% or 70%.”

Sidelining repurposed drugs

Jens Spahn was made German Health minister after attending the 2017 Bilderberg, rejected a donation of hydroxychloroquine in 2020 and stated that "vaccines are the way out of this pandemic"

Sidelining of drugs to treat the disease was a requirement for the granting of Emergency Use Authorisation of the experimental jabs. Many Bilderberg controlled groups, such as Médecins Sans Frontières, termed repurposed drugs "disinformation".

• Werner Baumann - 2017 - CEO of Bayer, who in early 2020 initially announced a plan to create a Chloroquine production facility in Europe, which transitioned to a partnership with Curevac to create CVnCoV, a COVID-19 Vaccine candidate.
• Hans-Georg Betz - 2000 - "It boggles the mind that the very same people who are worried about the potential side effects of COVID-19 vaccines have absolutely no qualms playing Russian roulette with their health when it comes to ivermectin... COVID-19 denial in all its different forms is like a cult."
• Trine Eilertsen - 2015 - Promoted to Editor in chief of Aftenposten in 2020, a paper as of June 2021 which was questioning the need for "experimental treatment" of COVID-19 cases with ivermectin.
• Jens Spahn - 2017 - German Health minister since March 2018, close to big pharma. Was specifically requested to look into ivermectin as a tool to control the spread of the disease, but moved towards mandating vaccines and stated that "vaccines are the way out of this pandemic".

Liability Evasion

• Evan Greenberg - 2017, 2014 - Chairman and CEO of Chubb, "pleased to extend our collaboration with the World Health Organization and its partners to support the critically important COVAX No-Fault Compensation Program."

• Jutta Urpilainen - 2013, 2012 - European Community Commissioner for International Partnerships, "Team Europe is working on preparedness of our partners. We are assisting partners with technical assistance and guidance to prepare national vaccination strategies, logistics, and information campaigns.

Uncritical promotion

Scores, perhaps hundreds of Bilderbergers have been actively promoting the jabs. This list contains only the most fervent advocates and those with key jobs allowing them to throw large institutional weight behind such opinions:
