The WHO simulates a pandemic again: the forum isn't buying it
On 22 and 23 April, the WHO brought together 26 countries and more than 600 experts in the Polaris II exercise to simulate the response to a fictional bacteria with pandemic potential. The Burbuja.info forum was quick to sound the alarm: "that's how elbichito started", snapped one user, referring to the 2019 Event 201 simulation. The coincidence with the recent bicho outbreak on a cruise ship (three dead) has fuelled suspicions.
The repeating pattern: from Event 201 to Polaris II
The thread opens with a link to the news story in Gaceta Médica, but scepticism is immediate. "Not a penny for these crooks", says one forum member, noting that the US has just withdrawn from the WHO. Others compare Polaris II with the simulation that preceded ELbichito: "Like the drill they ran in the Metro before certain trains blew up". One user posts images from the 2019 Event 201, making it clear the pattern repeats. "They're reminiscing about the good old days, now that nobody believes the lie anymore", another concludes.
Bicho as a 'preview' of the script
The debate intensifies when a forum member links the news of three deaths from bicho on a cruise ship approaching the Canary Islands, dated 3 May. "And when is the real one coming?" asks one user, suggesting the real outbreak could come after the football World Cup. Others point out that "there are increasingly strong signs of guano" and that "in September the lockdowns return". The tone is one of ironic resignation: "I can't wait for another lockdown, I've got a couple of great projects on the go", while most are calling for a "Nuremberg" for those responsible for the ELbichito response.
The thread leaves one certainty: for a significant part of the forum, Polaris II is not a harmless exercise but a dress rehearsal. The question hanging in the air is whether the next health crisis will be real or manufactured, and whether society will repeat the same mistakes. As one user puts it: "If there were another plandemic, people would swallow it, and you know it".
