"Team Worst Case Scenario" (TWCS), occasionally Team Robert Malone, is a name coined by J. Jay Couey to describe a (fairly loosely defined) coalition who worked for years or even decades to stoke fear of COVID-19.

Some academics were active since long before 2020, promoting fear of zoonotic jumps, or of engineered viruses. Journalists typically had shorter set up processes. Most became publicly active around March 2020 to help launch the new "pandemic threat". They consistently presented apocalyptic but quite unfounded scenarios. In 2021/2022, as the mass deaths from COVID-19 that they had forecast failed to appear and fear of COVID-19 subsided, they mostly switched focus to issuing dire warnings about subsequent pandemics.

Activities

In the run up to the launching of COVID-19, the narrative of the killer pandemic was widely seeded since about 2002, and academic papers talked of viruses' "pandemic potential". Pandemic planning exercises roleplayed the release of killer viruses, both naturally occurring and engineered. The theme also featured prominently in popular culture.

2000s and 2010s

The academic literature began to accumulate references to the "pandemic potential" of coronaviruses in animals. Considerable sums were disbursed to examine this, including so-called "gain-of-function" efforts to weaponise viruses.

2019

A lot of preparation was done in 2019, including the "pandemic planning" exercises Event 201 and Crimson Contagion. Usual suspects including Bill Gates and Peter Daszak appeared in a documentary entitled The Next Pandemic about a disease from China with the potential to cause millions of deaths. On 19 December for episode 8 of his Dark Horse Podcast, Bret Weinstein interviewed Sam Harris about jab mandation in the face of a hypothetical airborne virus with a 70% case fatality rate.

2020

In early 2020, dire predictions about COVID-19 abounded. Many members of the team helped to seed the panic, to prepare the public for the coming COVID lockdowns "to slow the spread". Echoing his activities as regards earlier "pandemic threats" such as swine flu, UCL's Neil Ferguson made repeated disastrous predictions about deaths which would occur if unprecedented restrictions on personal freedom (especially lockdowns were not adhered to strictly).

2021

On 11 June 2021 in a widely censored but mysteriously viral video entitled Saving The World In 3 Easy Steps, Bret Weinstein interviewed Robert Malone and Steve Kirsch. This was important in raising the profile of all three. In highlighting the hypocricy of ignoring existing drugs such as ivermectin the discussion broke from the official narrative at the time (which declared that no such drugs existed) but the contention that COVID-19 presented a huge threat to public health was never called into question.

In 2021, the group continued pro-active contact with potential real dissidents such as Jay Couey in order to attempt to engage their lively minds in debate within strict confines such as the assumption of the existence of the virus.

2022

As awareness began to spread widely that COVID-19 was not the great killer pandemic it was initially marketed as, members of team worst case scenario came from a variety of perspectives to unite around the prediction that a future pandemic would be.

2023

Several members of the team attended a conference in Romania to Denis Rancourt were also invited. Subsequently they were remarkably incurious about some of his findings (such as the lack of evidence of spread, and the 2020 iatrogenic murders) instead choosing to echo his statistics about deaths due to the COVID jabs.

2024

The group held regular international conferences and solicited for funds while continuing to expound on "hamster wheels" relating to the virus, as if its existence were beyond question.

Modus operandi

The group members tend to project doomsday worst case scenario, promoting fear of Covid by exaggerating dangers and risks. Several of them cite each other or appear together on podcasts. They typically have a narrow field of interest. They very rarely put "Covid deaths" in a wider context or comment critically on one another's chosen angle.

Lack of interest

One characteristic of group members, says Couey, is that they stick to pre-assigned topics and have very little variation in their interests over time. i.e. They stick to their script, even when interviewing one another, rather than showing much interest in their guests's topics. Another characteristic is their sharp avoidance of a number of third rail topics.

Third rails

Members of the group never question whether gain-of-function viruses actually present a danger, or review the evidence that SARS-COV-2 is a novel cause of death, as described by the official narrative. They do not teach much basic biology beyond what is needed to appreciate their fear du jour. Contradictory evidence is ignored.

Virus Origins

Almost all initial coverage by commercially-controlled media aggressively promoted the theory that COVID-19 emerged zoonotically from a wet market in Wuhan, ignoring the proximity of the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Later the media pivoted to suggesting that the virus was a product of "gain of function" research, a theory echoed by several members of "Team Worst Case Scenario" who suggested that therefore the virus would likely be particularly serious and unpredictable. It was widely suggested that surviving an initial infection might not confer long lasting immunity against subsequent infections.

Jab Dangers

Several members of the team talk at length about the dangers of the COVID jabs. Often they have a relatively narrow focus, such as DNA impurities or the danger of injecting people as regards evolutionary pressure on the virus.

Exposure

J. Jay Couey reports that after personal contact with many people making public pronouncements about COVID-19 he gradually felt forced to conclude that their statements — and their silences — were far less independent than he had initially assumed. He inferred that (possibly unbeknownst to some of them) they were part of a coalition formed with a single main purpose, to support the COVID-19 official narrative by stoking fear of COVID-19, and of the "pandemic threat" in general. He named the group "Team Worst Case Scenario" in late 2023. Since then Couey published a series of broadcasts highlighting the roles of different members of the group, noting how different group members apparently seemed coordinated in 2020, generally unsurprised by the goings on, but highly exorcised about a few aspects, new stepping back to give a bigger picture.

"Dream Team Narrative Police"

Deep politics analyst Amazing Polly pointed out a push to corral everyone who spoke out against the Covid "pandemic", especially "conservatives" into a single group with strongly defined leaders. According to her, the way this works is through a crosspromotional "New Narrative Gatekeepers Network" or a "phony Dream Team of 'covid dissidents'", where the financial benefits from crosspromotion made the content producers dependent on each other, herding them into the same focus areas. The bigger the exposure, the more money they will receive from especially X and Rumble. Paypal mafia member Peter Thiel is a big investor in Rumble, while Elon Musk controls Twitter/X.

While not claiming any of them were controlled opposition assets, she mentioned many of the same people as in Team Worst Case Scenario, like Robert Malone, Bret Weinstein, Joe Rogan but also more broadly Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro (Daily Wire), Russell Brand, Youtube Doctor John Campbell, Jordan Peterson, Alex Jones, Andrew Tate and many others being "corralled" this way.
