Global pandemic therapeutics centre announced in Melbourne

Creating a second shield to protect humanity from future pandemics is the principal objective of a new global medical research centre being created in Melbourne. Greater resilience for societies around the world in dealing with future pandemics is a core objective and this could save millions of lives in the future.

The establishment of the Cumming Global Centre for Pandemic Therapeutics was announced today by the University of Melbourne’s Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity, located in Melbourne’s biomedical precinct.

The establishment of the new Centre is made possible by the exceptional generosity of international businessman and philanthropist, Mr Geoffrey Cumming, a Canadian and New Zealand citizen who lives in Melbourne. Mr Cumming has donated $250 million to the University of Melbourne to establish the new Cumming Global Centre within the Doherty Institute.

This is the largest philanthropic donation to medical research, and one of the largest gifts, in Australia’s history. Initial scoping suggests this new Centre will likely create in excess of two hundred new, long-term, high purpose, knowledge jobs and build upon the growing international reputation of the Melbourne medical precinct.

The Victorian Government has also contributed significantly to the new world-leading centre, initially committing $75 million in funding in recognition of the critical need to advance the science behind therapeutics.

The Centre will address the critical need to prepare for future pandemics. It will enable the rapid design and testing of new therapeutics, and their delivery to the community within months of a pandemic outbreak. To complement public health measures and in addition to vaccines, an effective pandemic response requires therapeutics for those who contract the disease. The development of new treatments has the potential to transform how the next outbreak is managed, but progress has traditionally lagged when compared to vaccines. Experience from other pandemics, including COVID-19, have shown that therapeutics are critically important in preventing the progression of infections to severe disease, and ultimately in saving lives.

The Centre will be established in the new $650 million Australian Institute for Infectious Disease, a partnership between the University of Melbourne, the Doherty Institute and Burnet Institute, co-funded by the Victorian Government as the major supporting partner.

“There Would be BIG PROBLEMS the Likes We’ve Never Seen Before!” – President Trump on the Possibility of Being Indicted by Biden Regime

On Thursday Hugh Hewitt interviewed President Trump.

During the interview, Hewitt asked President Trump about the possibility of being indicted by the Biden DOJ. Hugh did not bring up the numerous recent instances of former Presidents — and Hillary Clinton — being caught with classified information in their possession.

“You know the old saying, prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich if they want to? I’m just asking if there is such a prosecutor and they indict you, would that deter you from running for president again?” Hugh Hewitt asked Trump.

“I don’t think the people of the United States would stand for it. And as you know, if a thing like that happened, I would have no prohibition against running, you know that already,” Trump responded.

“I do, and that’s what I want people to understand that would not take you out of the arena,” Hewitt replied.

“It would not. But I think if it happened, I think you’d have problems in this country the likes of which perhaps we’ve never seen before. I don’t think the people of the United States would stand for it,” Trump said.

“What kind of problems, Mr. President?”

“I think they’d have big problems. Big problems. I just don’t think they’d stand for it. They will not sit still and stand for this ultimate of hoaxes. We went through phony impeachment. We went through phony Mueller reports that came out with no collusion. We came everything that they’ve done to try and stop progress. And on top of that, I did more than virtually. Take a look with the biggest tax cuts, with the rebuilding of our military, with all of the things we’ve done, I don’t think the people of this country we’re stand for it especially since they know I’m totally innocent,” Trump responded.

Inspector General: Over $1.3 Billion In COVID Relief Went To Foreign Applicants

According to the Inspector General for The Small Business Administration, $1.3 billion in COVID relief funds went to applicants with foreign internet addresses.

41,638 loans were given to foreign applicants between March 20, 2020, and November 12, 2021.

3,097 were given to applicants in “high-risk countries.”

The Small Business Administration gave $1.3 billion in COVID-19 disaster relief to applicants with foreign internet addresses, indicating possible international criminal organization involvement, the agency’s inspector general found.

While the Small Business Administration blocked more than 110,000 applications from six countries deemed to be “high risk,” the system did not block all applications from foreign nations, the inspector general’s report, published Monday, found. For example, over 33,000 applications were submitted from Nigeria and 241 were approved, giving applicants in the African nation nearly $20 million.

While the approval rate of applications from Nigeria was below 1%, applicants had a higher success rate in other countries such as Mexico (21%), Canada (18%), and India (16%).

The fraud continued through the Biden administration.

The ranking member of the Small Business Committee, GOP Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer, said that The Small Business Administration “is not outfitted with the necessary infrastructure to manage large-scale and direct loan programs such as EIDL.”

The Washington Free Beacon reported:

The potential fraud detailed in the report, however, extended through the first 10 months of the Biden administration, and EIDL applications stopped in January. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R., Mo.), ranking member of the Small Business Committee, said the inspector general report shows there are still insufficient measures in place for the agency to track down fraud.

“The SBA is not outfitted with the necessary infrastructure to manage large-scale and direct loan programs such as EIDL,” Luetkemeyer told the Free Beacon. “With the already challenging task of recovering fraudulent funds now compounded with potential foreign criminal elements, the SBA requires significant programmatic reforms to prevent even more losses.”

Over a billion gone, and it sounds like not a lot is happening to get it back.

What is our government doing?
