COVID-19 Pandemic Timeline - Part One
From the political thriller "Stratagem" (Evocatus Series #3)
This is the third and final book of the Evocatus Series. Like the previous books in the series, actual events inspired this political thriller. The story follows a group of patriots who discover a sinister plan called Operation Stratagem. The operation will unleash a bio-weapon to create a worldwide pandemic to sell billions of experimental vaccines, reduce the world’s population, and establish a global government.
At the end of Stratagem, I include a chronology of the historical events leading up to the COVID-19 pandemic.
(Note: This post is the first part of the chronology covering the time frame between November 1990 to December 2021. The rest will be included in Part Two.)
COVID-19 TIMELINE
November 1990 - December 2021

In November 1990, pharmaceutical company Pfizer, Inc. applied for a U.S. patent (#07/613,066) for a modified RNA spike protein vaccine.
In June 2001, Johns Hopkins University sponsored the Dark Winter tabletop exercise at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland. The fictional scenario depicted a bioterrorist attack on the U.S. utilizing the covert release of smallpox virus.
In January 2005, Johns Hopkins University conducted the Atlantic Storm tabletop exercise in Washington, D.C. The exercise simulated a meeting of world leaders and their response to a campaign of bioterrorist attacks that resulted in a smallpox outbreak in several countries. The leaders addressed measures taken after the bioattack, including vaccines, movement of people across borders, and communication with the public.
In August 2005, the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) published a study stating chloroquine is a “potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus infection and spread”.
Author’s Note: SARS (Cov-1) coronavirus is 80% similar to SARS-Cov-2 coronavirus that causes COVID-19. The drug hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is a newer, slightly altered, and safer version version of chloroquine.
In January 2010, the European Union opened an investigation of the World Health Organization (WHO). The investigation centered around the allegation that during the 2009 swine flu outbreak, the WHO created a fake pandemic by changing the definition of a pandemic to create a lucrative international vaccine market for Big Pharma. The new definition of a pandemic created by the WHO was “a virus spread beyond borders to which people had no immunity.”
Author’s Note: Any seasonal cold or influenza outbreak would satisfy this new WHO definition and could trigger the declaration of a pandemic.
In August 2010, the Rockefeller Foundation held a planning exercise entitled Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development. One of the scenarios was titled “Lock Step – A world of tighter top-down government control and more authoritarian leadership with limited innovation and growing citizen pushback”. Lock Step simulated a fictional pandemic that infected 20% of the world and killed 8 million people in 7 months.
In October 2015, the developers of ivermectin were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. The Nobel Committee stated: “The importance of ivermectin for improving the health and well-being of millions of individuals with River Blindness and Lymphatic Filariasis, primarily in the poorest regions of the world, is immeasurable. Treatment is so successful that these diseases are on the verge of eradication, which would be a major feat in the medical history of humankind.”
Author’s Note: Ivermectin is on Page 7 of the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines.
In January 2016, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases was interviewed for an article in The Washingtonian magazine. Dr. Fauci was asked how he avoided getting sick when around people all day. He replied: “Wash your hands often. Take vitamin C. It can enhance your body’s defense against microbes. I take 1,000 milligrams a day. Many people also do not get enough vitamin D, which affects a lot of body functions, so that would be helpful too. Get seven to eight hours of sleep… exercise, eat well, and stay hydrated.”
Author's Note: During the COVID-19, pandemic, hospitals and healthcare facilities were prohibited from administering Vitamin C and Vitamin D to patients. The public was forced to lock down in their homes while police enforced government closures of beaches, playgrounds, parks, and cycling trails. People’s outdoor activities were curtailed resulting in reduced exercise, fresh air, and natural Vitamin D from sunshine.
In May 2018, Johns Hopkins University conducted Clade X tabletop exercise utilizing previous pandemics so participants could identify important political issues and preparedness challenges during pandemics that could be “solved with sufficient political will and attention”.
In September 2019, the Chinese government conducted a mock exercise at the Wuhan Tianhe International Airport to prepare for a fictional novel coronavirus that had entered China.
In October 2019, Johns Hopkins University, the World Economic Forum, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation co-sponsored Event 201. This tabletop exercise featured a series of dramatic scenario-based discussions resulting from a deadly, but “scientifically possible” worldwide pandemic.
In October 2019, the first case of COVID-19 was reported in China.
In December 2019, vaccine manufacturer BioNTech SE filed an annual report on Form 20-F with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in which the company stated: “mRNA therapies have been classified as gene therapy.”
In January 2020, the U.S. announced its first case of COVID-19.
In February 2020, South Korea reported success in controlling its COVID-19 outbreak through isolating the sick, contact tracing, and the early use of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ). French studies confirmed the South Korean data indicating the positive effect of HCQ on COVID-19 patients.
In February 2020, China approved the use of HCQ for the treatment of COVID-19 patients after clinical trials in 10 hospitals in Hunan Province.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic.
In March 2020, the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued a PREP Act Declaration covering all COVID-19 tests, drugs, and vaccines. The declaration provided: “liability protection to manufacturers, distributors, states, localities, licensed healthcare professionals (and others identified by the Secretary) who administer COVID-19 countermeasures including the COVID-19 vaccine”.
Author’s Note: When the COVID-19 vaccines were made available in December 2020, the vaccine manufacturers, government health agencies, and the mainstream media continually assured us the mRNA vaccines were safe and effective. The reports emphasized the vaccines did not pose any danger to the recipient and prevented illness. If the COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective, why is liability protection necessary for anyone who manufactures, distributes, or administers them?
In March 2020, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (an agency within HHS) issued a blanket waiver suspending patient’s rights (guaranteed under title 42.CFR-482.13). The waiver granted hospitals, cancer centers, and other care facilities the right to detain patients against their will, medicate without consultation, and isolate with no visitation permitted. As a result, patients died alone without loved ones or friends at their bedside.
In June 2020, the FDA revoked the Emergency Use Authorization for HCQ and chloroquine in the treatment of COVID-19 patients.
Author’s Note: Over 52 countries around the world used HCQ in early treatment protocols for COVID-19 patients reducing hospitalizations, recovery times, and deaths. HCQ is on Page 59 of the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines.
On May 11, 2020, Sir Chris Whitty, the Chief Medical Officer of the U.K., was part of the Prime Minister’s press conference at 10 Downing Street. He responded to a media question with the following comment: “And I’ll just repeat something I said right at the beginning, because it’s worth repeating. A significant proportion of people will not get this virus at all, at any point in the pandemic, which is going to go on for a long period of time. Of those who do, some of them will get the virus without knowing it. They will have the virus with no symptoms at all, asymptomatic carriage. And we know that happens. Of those who get symptoms, the great majority, probably 80 percent will have a mild or moderate disease, might be bad enough for them to go to bed for a few days, not bad enough for them to go to the doctor. An unfortunate minority, will have to go to the hospital, but the majority of those will just need oxygen and then leave hospital. And then a minority of those will end up having to go to severe or critical care and some of those sadly will die. But that’s a minority. It’s 1 percent or possibly even less than 1 percent overall.”
Author’s Note: Sir Chris Whitty CB-FRCP F Med Sci, is also the Chief Science Advisor at the U.K. Department of Health and Social Care, and Head of the U.K. National Institute for Health Research.
In June 2020, vaccine manufacturer Moderna, Inc. filed a quarterly report (Form-10) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in which the company stated: “Currently, mRNA is considered a gene therapy product by the FDA.”
In November 2020, the newsroom of the WHO issued the following statement: “The World Health Organization has issued a conditional recommendation against the use of remdesivir in hospitalized patients regardless of disease severity as there is currently no evidence that remdesivir improves survival and other outcomes in these patients.”
In December 2020, the FDA issued an Emergency Use Authorization for the experimental mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. Other jurisdictions followed suit and, over the next three years, 13 billion people worldwide received the injections.
In December 2020, Pfizer’s mRNA COVID-19 vaccine became available to the public.
In July 2021, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky told CNN: “Fully-vaccinated people who get a Covid-19 breakthrough infection can transmit the virus.”
In August 2021, the FDA authorized additional vaccine doses and also approved the COVID-19 vaccines for anyone aged 16 and older.
In September 2021, the CDC changed the definition of vaccination. Previously, the CDC’s definition was: “The act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease.” The new CDC definition of vaccination is: “The act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce protection from a specific disease.”
Author’s Note: People have speculated the CDC changed the definition of a vaccine to remove any mention of immunity because of the ineffectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine. The CDC stated the definition was changed to “add detail and increase transparency”.
In September 2021, the CDC recommended booster vaccines for anyone aged 18-64 employed in care homes.
By October 2021, fourteen states in the U.S. had mandated the COVID-19 vaccines for students aged sixteen and older. Several states require the vaccine for all students. Also, physicians, hospital and healthcare workers, teachers, school staff, airline flight crews, travel industry employees, and others were mandated to receive the vaccines or face termination of their employment.
In November 2021, the CDC recommended children 5 to 11 years of age receive the COVID-19 vaccine. That same month, the CDC and the FDA authorized COVID-19 booster vaccines for all adults.
In December 2021, J. Scott Davidson (CEO of life insurance provider One America Financial) announced the death rates among working-age people (18-64 years of age) increased by 40% in the last two quarters of 2021 over pre-pandemic levels. Davidson stated: “We’re seeing right now the highest death rates we’ve ever seen in the history of this business. The data is consistent across every player in the business. Just to give you an idea of how bad that is, a three-sigma or 200-year catastrophe would be a 10 percent increase over pre-pandemic levels. So, 40 percent is just unheard of.”
Author’s Note: In 2021, following the public release of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, numerous sudden and unexpected deaths were reported on local television news. Despite censorship on the national mainstream media and social media platforms, podcast reports by independent journalists, physicians, and scientists confirmed these deaths. Numerous compilation videos were posted on the internet showing hundreds of healthy young people including professional athletes and on-air television personalities suddenly collapsing during a live broadcast. Many did not survive.
Part Two of the COVID-19 Pandemic Timeline is coming soon!
Until then remember, a good friend will help you move… a true friend will help you move a body.
