Leaked Records Suggest 2014 Meeting on Coronaviruses
An anonymous source claiming to be a former employee of Novartis AG, one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, has provided documents that suggest early discussions about coronaviruses took place years before the COVID-19 pandemic. Novartis later collaborated with BioNTech and Pfizer in producing COVID-19 vaccines.
The Alleged Meeting
According to the leaked papers, a dinner meeting occurred on February 18, 2014, at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Basel, Switzerland. The gathering, reportedly attended by 14 guests, included international experts who discussed coronaviruses, which were not widely known to the public at that time.
Notable Attendees
The documents mention two prominent attendees:
- Dr. Adriaan Hugo de Wilde, a Dutch molecular biologist and coronavirus expert
- Dr. Albrecht von Brunn, a German experimental virologist associated with Charité
Unanswered Questions
Attempts to verify the information and gather more details have been unsuccessful. The source, three alleged participants, and Novartis’s press office did not respond to multiple inquiries. Key questions remain unanswered, including whether the 2014 meeting specifically discussed the possibility of a future coronavirus pandemic.
Context and Speculation
If confirmed, this meeting would predate other known gatherings that have been linked to pandemic preparedness, such as:
- The “Event 201” simulation in New York (October 2019)
- German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s visit to Wuhan (September 2019)
- A CDU party conference on pandemics (May 2019)
Call for Information
Given the public interest in pandemic-related information, as seen with the recent attention to the “RKI Files” in Germany, the decision has been made to share this information. We encourage anyone with knowledge of this meeting or related events to come forward and provide additional context or verification.
A Note on Verification
It’s important to note that while these documents raise interesting questions, their authenticity has not been independently verified. As with any leaked information, caution is warranted in drawing conclusions without further corroboration.
