I've come up with some more items to add to the Pandemic Timeline series the other day. The focus of the timeline is vaccines. Someone chided me the other day for limiting the scope in that way and called it a slide. If you want to broaden the scope, that is up to you. You are certainly welcome to add links that will do so.
At some point, I will republish the series in order, possibly in its own thread. But since it's a work in progress, I don't see a need to do so at this time.
1906: The Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 was the first of a series of significant consumer protection laws which was enacted by Congress in the 20th century and led to the creation of the Food and Drug Administration. Its main purpose was to ban foreign and interstate traffic in adulterated or mislabeled food and drug products, and it directed the U.S. Bureau of Chemistry to inspect products and refer offenders to prosecutors. It required that active ingredients be placed on the label of a drug's packaging and that drugs could not fall below purity levels established by the United States Pharmacopeia or the National Formulary.

1938: The United States Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (abbreviated as FFDCA, FDCA, or FD&C), is a set of laws passed by Congress in 1938 giving authority to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to oversee the safety of food, drugs, medical devices, and cosmetics.
Various amendments have been made to these laws over the years. The WikiPedia article lists many notable amendments.

November 14, 1986: The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) of 1986 (42 U.S.C. §§ 300aa-1 to 300aa-34) was signed into law by United States President Ronald Reagan as part of a larger health bill. NCVIA’s purpose was to eliminate the potential financial liability of vaccine manufacturers due to vaccine injury claims in order to ensure a stable market supply of vaccines, and to provide cost-effective arbitration for vaccine injury claims. Under the NCVIA, the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP) was created to provide a federal no-fault system for compensating vaccine-related injuries or death by establishing a claim procedure involving the United States Court of Federal Claims and special masters. Pres. Reagan said he had approved the bill “with mixed feelings” because he had “serious reservations” about the vaccine compensation program.
This was a major coup for the pharmaceutical industry. As a result of this bill, pharmaceutical companies no longer have any liability for harm caused by their vaccines based on whether the vaccines caused harm in testing. To make sure that no harm was found, testing of vaccines has since been greatly reduced compared to previous testing protocols. While this assured that a pharmaceutical company could rush a vaccine to market to aide in an “emergency,” it has also meant that those who take the vaccines have now unwittingly become the test subjects.
One of the provisions of the NCVIA is that your health care providers who administer vaccines against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, Haemophilus influenzae type b and varicella must provide a Vaccine Information Statement (VIS) to the vaccine recipient, their parent or legal guardian prior to each dose. But how often does this happen? And what about additional vaccines that have been created since then?

1997: The FDA issued new guidelines that intended to make DTCM on radio and television less burdensome. In particular, the FDA clarified that informing the audience of where the “brief summary” can be obtained (such as a magazine ad, phone hotline, or website) constituted “adequate provision” of risk information, and thus relieved them from being included in the ad. The FDA also recognized reminder ads (such as the aforementioned Claritin ad) as not being subject to these rules, since they do not make any claims or statements regarding the indications and benefits of the medication.

Friday, February 12, 2010, 11:00am - 12:45pm PST: At about 4:20 in this TED Talk, Bill Gates mentions vaccines as a potential population control mechanism to keep population DOWN. This would be antithetical to the original purpose of vaccines, which was to preserve life. The general theme of the talk is on climate change and how to reduce emission of CO2.
“So let's look at each one of these, and see how we can get this down to zero. Probably, one of these numbers is going to have to get pretty near to zero.” 04:26 “That's back from high school algebra. But let's take a look.” 04:29 “First, we've got population. The world today has 6.8 billion people. That’s headed up to about nine billion. Now, if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by, perhaps, 10 or 15 percent. But there, we see an increase of about 1.3.”
The talk was given in a segment entitled “Boldness” which also featured John Underkoffler, Shyam Sankar, Sergey Brin, George Church, Mike Feinberg, Dave Levin, and Thomas Dolby.

That's it for today.
I recognize Fauci and Gates. Who's the other guy? When was this taken?
My understanding is that his family went to France and then to England.

Google Translate says that the Chinese is:
"Orange man is good"
I'll go with that.
>BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump WALKS OUT of coronavirus briefing after just 22 minutes and refuses to take a single question day after his disinfectant disaster
It might have helped if he had run the comment by someone trustworthy first. Please, Pres. Trump, do that next time.
If that's true, why hasn't it been announced? It doesn't make sense.
That fits with other stuff I've heard. From what I've heard, there was actually a thought for a military coup during the prior administration. But then it was thought that to have an "our guy" in office would work much better.
