COVID-19 Pandemic Timeline - Part Two
From the political thriller "Stratagem" (Evocatus Series #3)
At the end of Stratagem, I included a chronology of the events leading up to the COVID-19 pandemic. A previous post here on substack contained the first part of the chronology from November 1990 to December 2021. This post covers the period from January 2022 to June 2024.
COVID-19 Pandemic Timeline
January 2022 - June 2024

In 2022, two research scientists from Stanford University (Dr. John P.A. Ionnidis and Dr. Catherine Axfors) released the results of a study confirming survival rates for COVID-19 infections ranged from 96% for those over 70 years of age to 99.9973% for those 19 years old and under.
Author’s Note: These two scientists confirmed the overall death rate for COVID-19 infections is comparable to seasonal influenza.
In January 2022, U.S. District Court Judge Mark T. Pittman, Northern District of Texas, ordered the expedited release of all data related to licensing Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine. Previously, in June 2021, as a response to a FOIA request, the FDA sought approval from a federal judge to delay the complete release of the Pfizer data for 75 years (until 2096). (Civil Action No. 4:21-cv-01058-P – U.S. District Court Northern District of Texas)
In March 2022, Pfizer complied with the Texas court order and released the data for the first 90 days after their vaccine was made publicly available. The documents showed between December 2020 and February 2021, Pfizer had received 158,086 vaccine adverse event reports, including 1,223 deaths. The majority of deaths occurred within 0 to 4 days of vaccination. In addition, Pfizer advised they are in the process of hiring an additional 2,400 data-entry employees to handle the volume of vaccine adverse event reports they are receiving.

Author’s Note: In 1976, the swine flu vaccination of Americans was suspended after 25 deaths.
In March 2022, the FDA and CDC recommended a second COVID-19 booster vaccine for adults aged 50 and older.
In May 2022, the FDA and CDC further recommended a COVID-19 booster vaccine for children between 5 and 11 years of age.
In November 2022, a joint study of over 600,000 participants by Johns Hopkins University and the U.S. Department of Veteran’s Affairs confirmed that sufficient amounts of Vitamin D2 from supplements and D3 from sunshine reduced COVID-19 mortality by 33% and infections by an average of 24%. The report stated: “As a safe, widely available, and affordable treatment, Vitamin D may help to reduce the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
In March 2023, the CDC added the COVID-19 vaccine to the Childhood Vaccine Schedule. Children are now recommended to receive 73 injections of 16 different vaccines from the day of birth to 18 years of age.
In August 2023, the CDC recommended all age groups should receive an annual injection of a combination vaccine for influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and COVID-19.
In August 2023, the World Health Organization reported over 13 billion doses of the COVID-19 vaccine had been administered worldwide.
In September 2023, the European Union Drug Regulating Agency (EUDRA) reported that COVID-19 vaccinations had caused 50,663 deaths and 5,315,603 injuries.
In September 2023, the U.S. government’s Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) reported since its roll-out in December 2020, the COVID-19 vaccines have caused 36,173 deaths and 1,592,259 adverse reactions. Of those adverse reactions, 38,420 were life-threatening, and 67,727 caused permanent disabilities.
In September 2023, data collected from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) confirmed deaths from COVID-19 vaccines in the U.S. are more than triple the number of deaths associated with all other vaccines combined since 1990.
In September 2023, the CDC identified new SARS-Cov-2 variants, EG.5, FL.1.5.1, and BA.2.86, and warned they were spreading rapidly. Public health officials advised new COVID-19 vaccines would be available soon.
In November 2023, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued Pfizer, Inc., for unlawfully misrepresenting the effectiveness of the company’s COVID-19 vaccine and attempting to censor public discussion of the product. The lawsuit alleges Pfizer engaged in false, deceptive, and misleading acts and practices by making unsupported claims regarding the company’s COVID-19 vaccine violating the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
In December 2023, Barry Young, a whistleblower from Health New Zealand, released data indicating the COVID-19 vaccines killed, on average, one person per 1,000 doses. His findings were corroborated by similar death statistics reported by scientists and researchers in the U.S., Israel, and the U.K.
Author’s Note: If the WHO report of 13 billion administered doses of COVID-19 vaccines and this data of one death-per-thousand doses are both accurate, then 13 million people worldwide may have died as a direct result of the COVID-19 injections. To date, the data has yet to be proven and has been labeled a conspiracy theory by the mainstream media and government health agencies. Numerous independent scientists and health professionals continue to gather evidence from statistics and studies to confirm these findings.
In 2023, the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) responded to a lawsuit and provided documents detailing that between October 2021 and September 2023, the agency received $710 million in drug and vaccine royalties. The NIH reported the funds were distributed among the agency’s institutes, centers, and individuals. The amount received by each scientist was redacted by the NIH.
In March 2024, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) released new guidelines on how people can protect themselves and their communities from respiratory viruses, including COVID-19. The new guidance brings a unified approach to addressing risks from common respiratory viral illnesses, such as COVID-19, influenza, and RSV.
The updated CDC guidance advises people sick with influenza, RSV, and COVID-19 to stay home and away from others. The recommendations suggest “returning to normal activities when for 24 hours, symptoms are improving, and if a fever was present, it has been gone without the use of a fever-reducing medication”.
Author’s Note: Seven months earlier in August 2023, the CDC recommended all age groups should receive an annual injection of a combination vaccine for influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and COVID-19. The CDC has now admitted vaccination is not necessary and these viral infections should be treated like any common respiratory illness. The CDC guidelines confirm the accuracy of the May 2020 statement by U.K. Chief Medical Officer Sir Chris Whitty on the severity of COVID-19.
In April 2024, a class action lawsuit was launched in the U.K. against vaccine manufacturer AstraZeneca claiming their COVID-19 vaccine caused death and serious injuries in dozens of cases. The suit alleges the AstraZeneca vaccine causes vaccine-induced TTS (thrombosis with thrombocytopenia symptoms). TTS occurs when blood clots block arterial blood flow and cause heart attacks and strokes. In legal documents submitted to the U.K. High Court in February 2021, AstraZeneca said, “It is admitted that the AZ vaccine can, in very rare cases, cause TTS. The causal mechanism is not known.”
Author’s Note: AstraZeneca has admitted in court that, in February 2021, they were fully aware their COVID-19 vaccine caused blood clots. The company did not remove the vaccine from the market until May 2021. The public was not warned, and people in the U.K. continued to receive the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine. During those three months, over 80 people were killed or injured.
In May 2024, new data collated from the CDC by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OEC) shows that after the COVID-19 vaccines were rolled out in 2021, close to 500,000 excess deaths were recorded that year among people under age 44.
Author’s Note: The term “excess deaths” is defined as an increase in the number of deaths over a specific period (typically five years) compared to the expected number of deaths based on historical and statistical data.
In May 2024, former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield stated in a televised interview that “the vaccines weren’t critical for people under 50 years old and some people got significant side effects from the vaccine.”
Dr. Redfield went on to state: “Many officials who tried to warn the public about potential problems with the COVID-19 vaccines were pressured into silence and it’s high time to admit that there were significant side effects that made people sick. I have a number of people that are quite ill and they never had COVID, but they are ill from the vaccine, and we must acknowledge that.”
In May 2024, Japanese researchers warned of potentially deadly risks to patients who receive blood transfusions from people who have suffered long COVID or received the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and called for urgent action to ensure the safety of the global blood supply. According to the authors:
“… many countries around the world have reported that so-called genetic vaccines, such as those using modified mRNA encoding the spike protein and lipid nanoparticles as the drug delivery system, have resulted in post-vaccination thrombosis and subsequent cardiovascular damage, as well as a wide variety of diseases involving all organs and systems, including the nervous system...
Based on these circumstances and the volume of evidence that has recently come to light, we call the attention of medical professionals to the various risks associated with blood transfusions using blood products derived from people who have suffered from long COVID and from genetic vaccine recipients, including those who have received mRNA vaccines…”
In May 2024, the January 2024 behind-closed-doors testimonies of Dr. Francis Collins, the former director of the NIH, and Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the NIAID, were released by the U.S. House Select Sub-Committee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. Both Collins and Fauci admitted under oath the hypothesis that the COVID-19 pandemic was the result of a lab leak or lab-related accident was not a conspiracy theory.
Both of these public servants were working for the U.S. government in March 2020 when the CDC issued the “6 feet apart” social-distancing directive. When asked about the science or evidence that supported the directive, both Dr. Collins and Dr. Fauci testified no science or evidence supported the “6-feet” distance directive. Dr. Anthony Fauci also testified there was no scientific evidence to support the mandatory masking of children. Previously in 2021, Dr. Fauci publicly promoted the CDC mask policy by stating, “Masks should be worn indoors by all individuals aged two and older who are not fully vaccinated.”
Author's Note: The compulsory isolation from the CDC’s unscientific “six feet apart” directive and mandatory lockdowns caused a significant increase in “deaths of despair” (homicides, assaults, and suicides). Thousands of small businesses were ordered to close and many never reopened. Government bureaucrats and police violated human rights by unlawfully prohibiting all outdoor activities, and attendance at religious services, weddings, funerals, and graduation ceremonies.
Schools were closed forcing children to learn from home or not at all. School attendance is the most effective means of detecting child abuse because teachers and school staff identify and report incidents of abuse. In many cases, the lockdowns forced abused children to remain at home with their abusers. When schools reopened, children were forced to wear masks throughout the school day. Physicians and medical researchers have stated this limited the children’s oxygen intake and forced them to inhale dangerous levels of carbon dioxide.
It is unconscionable that the former directors of the Centers for Disease Control and the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases have both admitted the extreme measures inflicted on us by forced lockdowns and masking were not based on any supporting evidence or science.
In May 2024, the Lisbon Court of Appeal upheld the decision of a lower Portuguese court and ruled that the August 2020 forced quarantine of four German tourists was unlawful. The tourists filed a claim against the Azores Regional Health Authority stating they were illegally confined to a hotel because one of them tested positive in a PCR test. The other three were labeled as “close contacts” and quarantined as well.
The court ruled the health authority had violated both Portuguese and international law by confining the German tourists. The judges relied on testimony from numerous health professionals and concluded only a doctor can diagnose someone with a disease and a doctor was not consulted.
In their 34-page ruling, the judges cited a study published in the Oxford Academic by “some of the leading European and world specialists” who found if someone tested positive for COVID-19 at a cycle threshold of 35 or higher, the chances of the person actually being infected is less than 3 percent. The judges’ ruling stated, “the probability of… receiving a false positive is 97% or higher”.
In the conclusion of their ruling, the judges wrote: “In view of the current scientific evidence, this test (PCR) shows itself to be unable to determine beyond a reasonable doubt that such positivity corresponds, in fact, to the infection of a person by the SARS-Cov-2 virus”.
Author’s Note: This court determined a positive test does not indicate a COVID-19 case because there are simply too many unknowns surrounding PCR testing. This is exactly why the inventor of PCR, Nobel Prize-winning scientist Dr. Kary Mullis, stated that because the test is extremely sensitive, it should never be used to diagnose disease. He is quoted as saying, “...PCR will find anything you want—in anyone.”
If the PCR is unreliable and unable to determine whether a person is infected with SARS-Cov-2, isn’t it reasonable to assume the reported number of COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths are unreliable as well?
In June 2024, a video from a plenary session of the January 2023 annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland was posted on numerous internet sites. In the video, Moderna, Inc. CEO Stephane Bancel stated that in “2019 his company had produced 100,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine.”
Mr. Bancel also admitted in the video he told his staff in 2019: “We need to make a billion doses next year.” (2020). “There is going to be a pandemic.”
Until next time, remember a good friend will help you move… a true friend will help you move a body.
