The UK government’s handling of covid contracts resulted in significant waste, with £1.4 billion lost on undelivered PPE contracts and £9 billion wasted on PPE due to inflated prices or shoddy equipment.

Professor Carl Heneghan and Dr. Tom Jefferson are looking into individual contracts to expose the reckless handling of covid contracts at taxpayers’ expense.

Failed Covid Contracts: Beyond Reckless

By Prof. Carl Heneghan and Dr. Tom Jefferson, as published by Trust the Evidence

On 2 June, the UK’s HM Treasury published, to little media attention, a report revealing the multibillion-pound price British taxpayers paid for the reckless handling of covid contracts.

Failed pandemic personal protective equipment (“PPE”) contracts cost £1.4 billion: the government revealed the price the British public paid for undelivered agreements, which saw taxpayer cash squandered on unusable PPE.

The pandemic waste was on another scale: we could have discussed the 900 consultants who charged £1,000 daily to deliver the test and trace service; the nearly £1.2 billion spent in two and a half years on stockpiling unused antivirals, or the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee report showing that of the £12 billion spent on PPE in 2020-21, £9 billion was wasted due to inflated prices or shoddy equipment.

As no one seems interested in where the billions went, the Trust the Evidence office looked into the Government’s Contracts Finder, which allows you to search for information about contracts worth over £12,000 with the government and its agencies. There are 4,017 covid-19 awarded contracts in the database, and we reviewed 1,000 contracts above £1 million.

Public Health England (“PHE”) awarded the largest contract on 22 March 2021, valued at £15 billion, to (tender 241726/952998) for Laboratory Diagnostic Testing Services, which ran for 2 years until 21 March 2023. However, in September 2021, PHE ceased all operations and effectively closed. Did anyone, therefore, have any oversight?

But this is not what worries us; it’s several jaw-dropping contracts that go above and beyond, concerning and profiteering.  Below are three for starters.

In July 2021, the Department of Health and Social Care awarded a two-year contract for the “Warehousing, Storage, Kitting & Fulfilment of test kits and associated components.” The total value of this contract was £260,229,846 and it was awarded to one supplier: Kuehne + Nagel Limited, whose UK head office was based at 1 Roundwood Avenue, Stockley Park, Uxbridge (now up for rent).

The second contract is a tender awarded by NHS Digital, another failed organisation that ceased to exist on 2 February 2023.

The contract was for £51 million over nine months, commencing on 20 June 2020.  It was a “contract with Deloitte LLP for the provision of digital solution design, build and live service of a digital platform, ordering portals and mobile applications to support the Covid-19 National Test Service.”

If anyone can decipher what that means, they are better than the Trust the Evidence office.

The contract had an initial period that expired on 31 March 2021, with an option to extend. “The services provided under this contract support the digital and data journey for covid-19 testing.” Oh, what a journey it must have been – Deloitte reported record revenues in 2021.

Our third offering is an award for £21.6 million from the Department of Health and Social Care, for “additional Lab Capacity to the Covid-19 Test and Trace Programme,” to Eurofins Biomnis UK Limited. The good news is that this was a mini competition – a procurement context refers to a process where a buyer seeks bids from a pre-approved list of suppliers.

So, what did the taxpayer get? The contract started on 23 August 2021 and ended on 14 November 2021 – 89 days of storage at £ 21.6 million – roughly £260,000 per day. You could have used the Trust the Evidence mansions at that price.

By now, you may be choking on your breakfast. These contracts go beyond “failed.” The UK’s Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, said: “The country is still paying the price for the reckless handling of covid contracts which saw taxpayer pounds wasted and criminals profit from the pandemic.” Yes, Rachel. However, you need to go much further in unravelling the fraud and waste that underpinned a vast number of covid-19 contracts.

We would dearly like to go through each of the 4,018. As some of our readers prefer being fleeced by governments rather than pay tuppence a post, we will concentrate our finite resources on nine contracts which struck us as odd. Keep following our work.

While previously it was a hobby culminating in writing articles for Wikipedia (until things made a drastic and undeniable turn in 2020) and a few books for private consumption, since March 2020 I have become a full-time researcher and writer in reaction to the global takeover that came into full view with the introduction of covid-19. For most of my life, I have tried to raise awareness that a small group of people planned to take over the world for their own benefit. There was no way I was going to sit back quietly and simply let them do it once they made their final move.

They have a Swab people used during COVID-19 which determines who lives who dies.

This DNA of Americans was sent to China.

So, anyone who used the medical establishment system who allowed those cotton swabs in their nose or other orifices was used to be sent to China.

China will work with the DOD and CIA including NIH.

These swabs are infected with a bio-weapon to transform humans into patents that change the DNA to cDNA which corporations can have ownership over humans

The NIH, CCP and the Israeli state collaborated through GAIN-and-LOSS-of-Function to produce the H7N9 “flu vaccine” and the new and improved “Aerosolized Anthrax Vaccine”.

Both have just been administered to the world population through inoculations, PCR swabs and aerosolization and self-replication.

PLEASE SEE: NIH Using DEAD CORPSES To Make “Virus”; Gain Of Function Weaponized Dead Corpses
The Israeli state, NIH and China turned their new and improved Anthrax bioweapon into an attenuated antigen to be used in “vaccines” under the guise of “evoking an immune response” and “vaccine immunity.”

The nations have been intentionally poisoned with biowarfare.

In March of 2022, the Russian military discovered that the Covid-19 bioweapons are being developed in U.S. biolabs in Ukraine.

This includes the plague, Ebola, Filoviruses’, Anthrax and more.
Ebola is used in the J&J and Sinovax jabs while Filovirus is used in Moderna.

 Ebola and Marburg are both Anthrax. The H7N9 is used in all “flu vaccines” while Anthrax is being used as a “vaccine adjuvant” in all Covid-19 jabs and swabs!
Here’s how they did it.

Through Loss-Of-Function, genetic deletions were performed inside the B. anthracis bacteria to improve replication of the bacteria in vivo. 

This ensured hospital protocols would not work to stop it from replicating inside the human body due to it being antibiotic resistant.

The B. anthracis bacteria was also genetically modified to survive in insect hosts so as not to sporulate before it’s injected into the human host by a Bill Gates GMO mosquitoes which is part of DARPA’s weaponized insect project called The Sentinels.

Incidentally, the CDC owns the Anthrax isolate patent that was funded by the U.S. Government.

*This is treason.

The CDC also says that a bioterrorist attack would most likely be Anthrax.
