The Pandemic Business Plan
The Epstein Files reveal a startling financial architecture built to profit from pandemics.
Buried in the recently released Epstein files is a financial blueprint designed to turn global health emergencies into investment opportunities. The machinery was built years before Covid arrived. New Zealand helped fund it. Sayer Ji exposed this in his Substack series.
Some of the following information is attributable to Sayer and we commend his excellent write-ups.
The recent release of the Epstein files by the US Department of Justice has set off a predictable media cycle. Most of the coverage has focused on names, relationships, and the long-delayed question of who knew what about Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes. But there is something else in those documents that deserves equally serious scrutiny, and which has received almost none.
Buried in the emails, agreements, and text messages is a detailed financial framework designed to generate profit from pandemics – a framework built years before Covid was ever heard of. Running through it, in their own words, are Bill Gates, JPMorgan executives, and Jeffrey Epstein himself.
This is not speculation. It is documented. And for New Zealanders, it is not abstract. As the documents below show, New Zealand institutions and public funds have been drawn into the very network these files describe.
The Offshore Arm for Vaccines
In August 2011, Jeffrey Epstein emailed Mary Erdoes, chief executive of JPMorgan’s asset management division, which at the time oversaw roughly US$2 trillion. He was laying out the structure of a Gates-linked donor-advised fund (DAF).
“However we should be ready with an offshore arm, especially for vaccines.”
This was not a philanthropic gesture. Epstein projected “billions of dollars” in the first two years and “tens of billions by year four”. The fund would exist in perpetuity, with succession controls baked in – not a time-limited charitable initiative, rather a permanent vehicle designed to outlast its founders.
Weeks later, writing to Jes Staley, then head of JPMorgan’s private bank, Epstein was even more direct about the tension at the heart of the arrangement:
“The tension is making money from a Charitable Org. Therefore the money making parts need to be arms length.”
The problem for Epstein is not the profit motive itself, but how to obscure it behind charitable structures. The proposed solution is distance, not elimination. This is philanthro-capitalism at its most raw and real: tax deductions for donors, investment returns inside a tax-exempt structure, and charitable distributions that can be deferred indefinitely.
Getting Gates More Money for Jabs
In July 2011, Epstein emailed Jes Staley with Boris Nikolic, Bill Gates’ chief science and technology adviser at the time, copied in on the thread. The proposed donor-advised fund (DAF) was being described in operational terms.
Epstein wrote that the proposal would deliver “a full presentation for a DAF, the new legal restrictions, a silo based proposal that will get Bill more money for vaccines”.
They did not need more money for vaccine research or distribution, only for their product.
The language could not be plainer. The entire structure, including investment, advisory and grant committees, strategies for PR and internet marketing, was designed around a single commercial objective, and the man orchestrating it had expertise in financial engineering, not public health. Like Bill Gates, Epstein was not a doctor, not a lawyer, and not a scientist. He was just a peddler of abhorrent corruption.
Pandemic Preparedness
Fast-forward to 2015. In March of that year, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation received a proposal from the International Peace Institute (IPI), led by Terje Rød-Larsen, for a convening of experts to discuss pandemic prevention and response.
The foundation declined to fund the event, but noted that many of the groups in IPI’s proposal were “already in discussions with Gates Foundation staff about pandemic preparedness and response” ahead of the World Health Assembly and G7. Larsen later resigned amid scandal of donations from foundations linked to Epstein to the tune of $650,000 for IPI and $130,000 in personal loans.
Three months later, Epstein forwarded Rød-Larsen a link to a Vox article about Bill Gates and influenza pandemic preparedness, without comment.
Was it a Case of a Trigger-Happy Pandemic Event?
In January 2017, an iMessage thread retrieved from Epstein’s phone revealed something more concrete still. An associate, listing professional credentials, described his or her expertise as:
“Pandemics (just did pandemic simulation) and threats to US health.”
The same person then described one of their potential next career moves:
“Join Swiss Re (reinsurance) team developing health products. Did one for pandemics, helped develop parametric trigger.”
A parametric trigger is a financial instrument that pays out automatically when a specific event is declared. In this context, it pays out when a pandemic is declared by the relevant authority, more formally the World Health Organisation. It doesn’t pay out when a pandemic occurs and causes measurable harm, only when it is declared.
Six months after this iMessage thread, the World Bank issued its first-ever pandemic catastrophe bonds, structured by Swiss Re, with exactly these parametric triggers, and the Coronavirus was listed as a ‘covered peril’.
The distinction matters enormously. The declaration itself becomes the financial trigger, and those holding the bonds have a direct financial interest in the pandemic being actually declared, not merely occurring.
Event 201
On 18 October 2019, six weeks before the first publicly acknowledged cases of what would become Covid-19, the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, the World Economic Forum, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation co-hosted Event 201: a high-level pandemic simulation exercise built around a novel coronavirus.
The exercise rehearsed government coordination, pharmaceutical supply chain management, media strategy, social media censorship protocols, public compliance, and international governance. Participants included representatives from global financial institutions, pharmaceutical companies, and media organisations, and within a couple of months, out of the blue an actual coronavirus appeared on the scene.
The infrastructure to capitalise on this crisis was lying in wait for that specific declaration, when funds could be released.
The New Zealand Connection
New Zealanders might be tempted to view all of this as a distant overseas story. However, the woven tapestry of the funding-go-round extends down under as well.
The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) was established in 2017 at the World Economic Forum in Davos and received a significant amount of early funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, making it a direct institutional descendant of the pandemic preparedness funding architecture documented in the Epstein files.
New Zealand public money now sits inside that same network. In May of 2020 the government pledged NZ$15 million contribution to CEPI. In March 2022, New Zealand pledged NZ$10 million to CEPI for vaccine research collaboration. All connected to The Gates Foundation.
CEPI’s stated mission is to advance pandemic preparedness and accelerate what it calls the “100 Days Mission” for future outbreak response.
CEPI has provided significant support to the Global Vaccine Data Network (GVDN), a public-private network that includes New Zealand-based researchers working through UniServices at the University of Auckland. The GVDN itself received seed funding from the Gates Foundation.
Quoted as a co-leader of GVDN is Professor Helen Petousis-Harris of the University of Auckland, who has also received unrestricted educational grants from GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer, and Seqirus, and has worked with the WHO on effective messaging to promote vaccination. Along with co-collaborator Dr Nikki Turner, Petousis-Harris has been involved with the Immunisation Advisory Centre (IMAC), which also receives pharma funding and is managed by UniServices.
Taking a step back, we can see how these groups intertwine:
- The Gates Foundation provides significant funding for CEPI.
- Gates has financial interests in the pharmaceutical companies those researchers receive money from.
- Gates receives tax reductions by donating to organisations that purchase vaccines from the very companies Gates has invested in. For example donating 7.7billion to GAVI who then purchase at least 40 million vaccines from Bio’N’Tech which Gates has invested in.
- Public money flows through international intermediaries and back to private returns.
- All of it presented through sympathetic media coverage as “saving the world” when, in essence, it is creating a free flow of funds from overburdened taxpayers to those who really don’t need any more.
The New Zealand Government spent roughly NZ$1.7 billion on Covid vaccines up until the end of 2023, with hundreds of millions allocated in 2024 on top of that – primarily purchased from Bio’N’Tech, the very company Gates invested in, in 2019…
– New Zealand has donated over NZ$26 million to COVAX AMC (a Gavi mechanism) for vaccine access in developing countries, plus costs (e.g., NZ$6.4M for equipment).
That money went straight into the hands of those who had previously invested in the ‘chance’ of a future declared pandemic.
Governments also donate to organizations like Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, or COVAX (a Gavi-led initiative for Covid-19 vaccines). These intermediaries use the funds to negotiate bulk purchases from private pharmaceutical companies (e.g., Pfizer-BioNTech, AstraZeneca).
All these companies tie back to Gates, who was planning a pandemic profit with Jeffrey Epstein.
As NZDSOS has consistently noted throughout the Covid response, the question is not just whether individual scientists and health officials acted in good faith, but what structural incentives surrounded them. New Zealanders are entitled to know what those incentives were before the next declared pandemic triggers the next round of payouts.
The Epstein Files prove how power operates in its attempts to become absolute. We’ve seen some of this through Covid and, clearly, these particular files have exposed some of the mechanisms of the Covid heist.
New Zealand gave NZ$10 million of public money to CEPI which was foundationally associated with the Gates Foundation. Epstein helped design a financial structure, documented in the recently released files built to profit from pandemic declarations, with The Gates Foundation making approximately $260 million in realised investment gains through the Covid vaccine alone.
New Zealand scientists and doctors connected through GVDN receive CEPI funding while also holding relationships with pharmaceutical companies in which Gates has financial interests, all while locking down our borders, mandating vaccines, and prosecuting dissenting clinicians. This all under a global health governance framework shaped in significant part by unelected private ‘philanthropists’ who have financial stakes in the outcome.
GAVI, the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation – the vaccine commercialisation arm of the WHO – has a mini-me in the form of the Vaccine Alliance of Aotearoa New Zealand, it is a collaborative research initiative established in 2020 as part of the New Zealand Government’s Covid-19 vaccine strategy. The best known collaborator being the Malaghan Institute. It’s long time leader and now cheerleader in his retirement, Professor Graham Le Gros, has just received a knighthood on the recommendation of gene tech fantasist PM Chris Luxon, himself an avowed guest of Bill Gates on occasion.
Le Gros gave a very deceptive presentation to the RCI phase two last year which we felt compelled to counter.
A Sorry Conclusion
As deeply disturbing as the Epstein Files window into terrible behaviour and abuse is, their ‘financial chapters’ do not just expose uncomfortable personal relationships. They document a plan to turn global health emergencies into investment vehicles so by the time Covid arrived on the scene, the mechanisms to manage and profit from the so-called crisis, was ready and waiting.
The end result of this command-control-profit hierarchy for New Zealanders, along with billions of others, is ultimately the corruption of the human genome, as shown definitively in this new paper. A greater crime against humanity is hard to imagine.
There will be more disclosure ahead of the Kiwi connections to Jeffery Epstein’s wider machinations, but in the meantime his profitdemic investors and beneficiaries – and many victims – can be confident about one thing: the truth will always come out in the end.
