Note that Michael Bryant's first timeline of significant events begins in 1999. This means the groundwork or foundation components of "Covid" was being constructed for at least 21 years.
BONUS CONTENT ... A few events I might have added ....
Michael seems to be focussing on a theme that Covid might have been a “cover story” or excuse to expedite digital currencies/ban cash and get us closer to digital surveillance, which is actually the subject of my latest Substack dispatch.
Michael also includes many timeline bullet points dealing with the transition to a “new” mRNA “flu vaccine.” For a while now, I’ve wondered if the flu shots of 2019-2020 and then 2020-2021 might explain large numbers of the people who became “sick” during Covid. I’d love to get Michael’s thoughts on this possibility. (I think it’s possible huge percentages of the hospital democide deaths occurred with citizens who had gotten that year’s flu vaccine).
Michael’s Part 3 mentions that “flu” was widespread and severe in early January 2020 and that Fauci himself, in early January 2020, said the flu season of 2019-2020 was shaping up to be one of the worst in “four decades.”
I used the same quote in a 5,000-word story I wrote that documents that this was, indeed, one of the worst flu seasons in four decades. I would just note/add that the flu had already become widespread in severe in numerous states by November 2019. This was especially notable, per ILI surveillance reports, in five contiguous Deep South States in November. One of these states was Georgia - the home of the CDC!
As some readers might have seen, I recently published another story about a CDC paper that was published by The Lancet - a study which shows that “the number of school closings due to illness” were 285-percent higher in the flu season of 2019-2020 than the mean of the 8 previous flu seasons. IMO 2,900 (!) American schools closed due to illness between November 2019 and the first week of March 2020 has to be “statistically significant.”
Whether one believes some of of these millions of “sick Americans” had Covid can, of course, be debated. The point I make is that no public health official seems to have ever considered the possibility that a novel respiratory virus - that produced symptoms identical to Covid - could have been spreading in America months before the Wuhan Outbreak.
My question: Was it just a “coincidence” that so many more people were getting sick with Covid symptoms right before official Covid?
In Part 3, Michael mentions the Diamond Princess cruise ship data in his effort to show that the IFR or crude mortality rate of passengers and crew on this ship was lower than the stated IFR of the flu (1-in-1,000 or 0.1 percent).
However, as I’ve pointed out in several exclusive articles, the more eye-opening IFR data comes from looking at “case” and death numbers on three Naval vessels that reportedly had “Covid outbreaks.” Approximately 7,000 sailors served on the USS Teddy Roosevelt, French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle and the USS Kidd destroyer between January and April of 2020.
Antibody studies were done of a sample of sailors on the USS ships an all the sailors on the French aircraft carrier. Those antibody studies showed the IFR was 1-in-4,000 as only one of the 4,000 positive sailors died. (And the one death, a 41-year-old sailor on the Roosevelt, is perhaps suspect as I’ve never found any full accounting of what actually killed that man).
I’ve never understood why these antibody studies or “outbreaks” didn’t get more attention as they detonate the “deadly virus” narrative.
Lastly, I appreciate Michael highlighting key events documenting the adoption of the PCR test as the official “case” diagnostic tool.
What I still haven’t found and would love to learn is when did American science/health start using a Covid antibody test? Per my research, China was giving people Covid antibody tests in January 2020 (and papers from China were citing these results in January 2020).
Question: Didn’t America have an antibody test at least by mid-February 2020? If our nation did, why didn’t we use it and start giving it to people in February … BEFORE we ordered the lockdowns?
I think antibody tests may have been delayed to conceal evidence of early spread. (That’s why no World Military Games athletes were ever given antibody tests and why no public health officials ever questioned any of the numerous “early spread” candidates I’ve identified in scores of articles.)
Whether one believes in early spread or not - or even if people believe “contagious viruses” don’t exist - the public health establishment clearly believes the world is at risk from contagious viruses. Given this consensus belief, it makes no logical sense that public health officials wouldn’t have been testing anyone and everyone who might have had an early case … as soon as they could.
The fact they didn’t do this common-sense testing or inquiries (or “contact tracing” of these people) suggests to me that they KNOW what the results would have been.
It was my impression that the 2017-2018 flu season was the worst ever when 160 million Americans got the flu shots and Fauci first reported 80,000 died from the flu and then back tracked that it was under 60,000. How can flu deaths rise when more people got the shots in 2018 than any other year in the past. It was reported in 2010 that the Air Force Strategic command did a table top exercise with Canada, New Zealand Great Britain and Australia, to figuring out how to manage a biowarfare event. The BIG Five where execution of the Covid con worked the best. That was not listed and I believe is key. One last thought, maybe most of the flu deaths are caused by over treating the flu with acetaminophen , because overdosing on acetaminophen has the same symptoms as the flu. I will be covering that aspect in a book I am releasing this year on the Tylenol deaths in 1982.
The 2017-2018 Flu year was said to be the "worst in four decades." And, as you note, the number of deaths this season allegedly produced was "revised" two times - first to 60,000 deaths and, now, 51,000 deaths. (So 29,000 "flu deaths" later disappeared with two computer clicks).
Based on my copious research, the flu season of 2019-2020 actually produced far more "sick people." Even the CDC now admits that flu season produced 49 percent more "school closings" than the 2017-18 flu season. (Also, far more flu tests were administered in the latter months of 2019 and the first weeks of 2020 than any other flu season).
And the CDC quickly "revised" the numbers of "flu cases" from the 2019-2020 season, significantly reducing the number of ILI cases, which makes it look like just another "normal" flu season when it clearly was not.
As I've mentioned several times now, I wonder if the large number of sick and hospitalized people in the SECOND year of Covid might be largely or partially explained by the 50 percent of the population that got the 2020-2021 'new' flu shot.
Also, I agree: All the flu data seems to confirm that the "flu vaccines" do NOT work.
When you look at the approved medical protocol to treat the so called Covid virus, which all of a sudden displaced any diagnosis of flu, you realize the treatment protocol was deadly. Remdesivir and Tylenol 500 mg every fours had negative impact on the hepatic function and the kidney function. If the patient already had impaired liver and kidney function, which is normal in seniors it is a formula for death. I doubt very few died just from the Covid, but between the wrong medical treatment and the negative impact of RNA injections, those deaths far exceeded the Covid deaths and those theories have been raised.
From Part 3, in a bullet point about Moderna from January 20, 2020, Mr. Bryant notes:
NOTE: To date, Moderna has never brought a product to market. As of January 13, 2020, Moderna shares were at $20.26 but would skyrocket to $484.87 by August 9, 2021.
I'm positive that Adam Schiff was instrumental in getting the brain dead legislatures in CA to mandate 25 injections for all babies born in CA in the first six months of their lives which will be fraught with health issues including death because of the mandate.
* March 2019, Karl Lauterbach (subsequently German Health Minister from end 2021 - start 2025) proposed compulsory measles vaccination.
* May 2019, Jens Spahn (government Health Minister) introduced "Measles Protection Act":
"...as of March 2020 children and staff in kindergartens and schools, medical facilities, and community facilities must be vaccinated. These include residences for asylum seekers, refugee shelters and holiday camps. Parents who do not vaccinate their children of school age will face hefty fines of up to €2,500 ($2,749), while younger children could face a ban from day care facilities."
I think it significant because this laid much of the groundwork for introducing Covid vaccine mandates during the pandemic. As a parent of pre-school kids in 2019, I remember there being considerable discussion and resistance from some doctors and parents saying mandates were not helpful, but the government pushed it through anyway. When 2020 lockdowns and novel vaccines followed it was clear there would be a push to introduce Covid vaccine mandates (despite government politicians claiming otherwise).
* Nov 2021, Austrian government announced Covid vaccine mandates.
* Jan 2022, German parliament debated mandates.
* Feb 2022, Austria mandate for all adults (18+) became law (subsequently not enforced).
* April 2022, German parliament voted against general Covid vaccine mandates.
* May 2022 Germany introduced mandate for healthworkers and all employees of medical and care facilities.
Thanks for adding this information. I also think the fact just about everyone came to "accept" the necessity of the "flu vaccines" hasn't gotten enough attention. These flu shots don't work and probably make more people sick. Due to the flu vaccine, many people started to think that a "vaccine" doesn't necessarily have to prevent infection or spread. The logic/narrative was that the shots MIGHT work, but even if they didn't, those who got the shots would be less likely to have "severe" symptoms or would have milder cases. This is also a bogus narrative, but it took with the public. Suddenly, a "vaccine" didn't have to work to be considered a "vaccine."
Not quite an article, yet crucial for following the money to its infancy, here is the layout of patents in #timeline format. I can disclose settlement towards a #Masstort MSA is closing.
Thanks, Mark. Readers should know that Mark forwarded me links to Mr. Bryant's Timeline articles. I'd read Part I (and written about it at my Substack), but I hadn't seen Parts 2 and 3. I think I might be one of the few Substack contrarians who has written articles about this extremely-thorough research project. Mr. Bryant does not have his own Substack, but I think Leslie, the founder of the non-profit website where these articles are published, does have her own Substack and has highlighted this important work.
As is too often the case, the most important writing doesn't get enough reads or reach enough people to make a difference.
I just tried to cross-post a dispatch from Brownstone Insights and couldn't do it. I get this message:
"We could not recommend this post."
This is about the fourth time in recent weeks this has happened to me.
I think my readers will enjoy this post, which makes some of the same points about our New Abnormal I've been making.
Also, this link has details about a September symposium that Brownstone is hosting in Virginia. It's for regular citizens and supporters of Brownstone. It's an opportunity to hobnob with many of the leading writers in the "contrarian" writers universe and contribute to discussions.
Some of my subscribers would love participating in this event. Here's the link to the story, which includes a link to the September event:
UPDATE: On my fourth attempt to cross-post this article, I think it finally went out to my subscribers. Maybe some subscribers can let me know if they got a cross-post from Brownstone Insights with the headline "The Grim Truth."

From Part 3, in a bullet point about Moderna from January 20, 2020, Mr. Bryant notes:
NOTE: To date, Moderna has never brought a product to market. As of January 13, 2020, Moderna shares were at $20.26 but would skyrocket to $484.87 by August 9, 2021.
Not included is that Moderna was in fact on the verge of bankruptcy a few years earlier and hemorrhaging investors.
This story was told well by Whitney Webb.
They were bailed out as Moderna is not really a company per se they are a "project" or more to the point, a racketeering operation.
One point talks about the massive amount of $ Moderna had lost and had never brought a product to market before Covid
Thank you! This should be published in all major newspapers in the USA so that the American public learns the truth!
Thanks, Thomas. I agree. This is research/journalism, nobody will read in the mainstream "watchdog" press.
PS: Microsoft warned me that your email may be phishing or? You are being watched.
I'm positive that Adam Schiff was instrumental in getting the brain dead legislatures in CA to mandate 25 injections for all babies born in CA in the first six months of their lives which will be fraught with health issues including death because of the mandate.
Someone needs to prosecute and STOP Mr. Adam Schiff.
I’m sure he is being protected by the Big Pharma boys who help fund his political life!
Another data point from German-speaking world:
* March 2019, Karl Lauterbach (subsequently German Health Minister from end 2021 - start 2025) proposed compulsory measles vaccination.
* May 2019, Jens Spahn (government Health Minister) introduced "Measles Protection Act":
"...as of March 2020 children and staff in kindergartens and schools, medical facilities, and community facilities must be vaccinated. These include residences for asylum seekers, refugee shelters and holiday camps. Parents who do not vaccinate their children of school age will face hefty fines of up to €2,500 ($2,749), while younger children could face a ban from day care facilities."
"Freedom also means that I will not be unnecessarily put at risk, and that is precisely why, from the point of view of preserving freedom, this law is a good law, because it protects freedom and health." (https://www.dw.com/en/germany-makes-measles-vaccination-compulsory/a-51243094)
* November 2019, Bill passed.
* March 2020, Law entered effect.
I think it significant because this laid much of the groundwork for introducing Covid vaccine mandates during the pandemic. As a parent of pre-school kids in 2019, I remember there being considerable discussion and resistance from some doctors and parents saying mandates were not helpful, but the government pushed it through anyway. When 2020 lockdowns and novel vaccines followed it was clear there would be a push to introduce Covid vaccine mandates (despite government politicians claiming otherwise).
