The WHO's new Pandemic Agreement, set to be agreed next month, consolidates the pandemic preparedness scam, says Dr David Bell. Built on a heap of falsehoods about the true health risks humanity faces, it must be rejected.

I am tired of these relentless media -bite analyses of the mainstream. for 'civilised' read
'bourgeois'.
You appear to be confusing two different threads. The title of the other thread is an adaptation of a comment made to us by Chomsky who described the contrast between the Iranian academic's response and Bollinger's address as 'the difference between civilisation and barbaraism'. He was referring to their willingness to set about rational discussion of the known facts as compared to the foaming at the mouth Bollinger resorted to. Unlike many, Chomsky is able to seprate out what is good and bad in a given situation - whoever or whatever he is talking about. He could hardly be described as an apologist for any of the greed and oppression which the word 'civilised' is frequently used to disguise, and is applying it in its true sense in this instance.
