The SPARS PANDEMIC 2025 - 2028
A Futuristic Scenario for Public Health Risk Communicators, The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security
Scenario Purpose:
The following narrative comprises a futuristic scenario that illustrates communication dilemmas concerning medical countermeasures (MCMs) that could plausibly emerge in the not-so-distant future. Its purpose is to prompt users, both individually and in discussion with others, to imagine the dynamic
and oftentimes conflicted circumstances in which communication around emergency MCM development, distribution, and uptake takes place. While engaged with a rigorous simulated health emergency, scenario readers have the opportunity to mentally “rehearse” responses while also weighing the implications of their actions. At the same time, readers have a chance to consider what potential measures implemented in today’s environment might avert comparable communication dilemmas or classes of dilemmas in the future.
Digital Transformation: Powering the Great Reset 2020
COVID-19 has irrevocably changed our world. During COVID-19, we have had to learn how to live differently – to learn, work, socialize, shop, worship and collaborate in different ways. And many of us are doing all this virtually. The pandemic is therefore a watershed moment for the digital transformation of business. The rules for success have changed, and are ever more reliant on harnessing the power of digital models to create new value and experiences.

Proof that face masks do more harm than good - Dr Vernon Coleman
This short monograph contains conclusive proof that face masks do more harm than good, and being forced to wear them is a form of oppression designed to have adverse physical and psychological effects upon the wearers rather than having any protective value.
The Author
Dr Vernon Coleman MB ChB DSc FRSA was the first qualified medical practitioner in the
UK to question the significance of the ‘crisis’ now described as covid-19, telling readers of
his website www.vernoncoleman.com at the end of February that he felt that the team
advising the Government had been unduly pessimistic and had exaggerated the danger of the
virus. At the beginning of March, he explained how and why the mortality figures had been
distorted. And on March 14th, he warned that the Government’s policies would result in far
more deaths than the disease itself. In a YouTube video recorded on 18th March, he
explained his fear that the Government would use the ‘crisis’ to oppress the elderly and to
introduce compulsory vaccination. And he revealed that the infection had been downgraded
on March 19th when the public health bodies in the UK and the Advisory Committee on
Dangerous Pathogens decided that the ‘crisis’ infection should no longer be classified as a
‘high consequence infectious disease’. Just days after the significance of the infection had
been officially downgraded, the Government published an Emergency Bill which gave the
police extraordinary new powers and put millions of people under house arrest. Dr Coleman,
a former GP principal, is a Sunday Times bestselling author. His books have sold over two
million copies in the UK, been translated into 25 languages and sold all around the world. He
has given evidence to the House of Commons and the House of Lords and his campaigning
has changed Government policy. There is a short biography at the back of this book. Some
references have been given in this book in view of the misleading information widely
available online as part of the demonization process now being used to attack those
questioning the ‘official’ line. Vernon Coleman’s first book about the coronavirus, Coming
Apocalypse, was only accepted for publication after all specific references to coronavirus and
covid-19 were removed. (Careful editing worked in alternative words and phrases.) Vernon
Coleman’s second book about the coronavirus hoax (a collection of the transcripts of the
videos broadcast between April and September) was titled, Covid-19: The Greatest Hoax in
History. The book was banned within days of publication. A second version of the same book
titled, Old Man in a Chair was banned within hours of publication. Vernon Coleman then
published an eBook version of Old Man in a Chair on Smashwords, unfortunately, this too
was banned.

COVID19 - The Great Reset by Klaus Schwab
About Covid-19: The Great Reset
Since it made its entry on the world stage, COVID-19 has dramatically torn up the existing script of how to govern countries, live with others and take part in the global economy. Written by World Economic Forum Founder Klaus Schwab and Monthly Barometer author Thierry Malleret, COVID-19: The Great Reset considers its far-reaching and dramatic implications on tomorrow’s world. The book’s main objective is to help understand what’s coming in a multitude of domains. Published in July 2020, in the midst of the crisis and when further waves of infection may still arise, it is a hybrid between a contemporary essay and an academic snapshot of a crucial moment in history. It includes theory and practical examples but is chiefly explanatory, containing many conjectures and ideas about what the post-pandemic world might, and perhaps should, look like. The book has three main chapters, offering a panoramic overview of the
future landscape. The first assesses what the impact of the pandemic will be on five key macro categories: the economic, societal, geopolitical, environmental and technological factors. The second considers the effects in micro terms, on specific industries and companies. The third hypothesizes about the nature of the possible consequences at the individual level. In early July 2020, we are at a crossroads, the authors of COVID-19: The Great Reset argue. One path will take us to a better world: more inclusive, more equitable and more respectful of Mother Nature. The other will take us to a world that resembles the one we just left behind – but worse and constantly dogged by nasty surprises. We must therefore get it right. The looming challenges could be more consequential than we have until now chosen to imagine, but our capacity to reset could also be greater than we had previously dared to hope.
