“It’s going to make some noise and it’s in my book. “By throwing this sentence at the microphone of Sud Radio, in May 2021, when promoting his book The day after (Albin Michel editions), did Philippe de Villiers expect to see this sequence go viral on Twitter seven months later?
It must be said that the assertions of the founder of Puy du Fou and former MEP had enough to cause, at least, a certain incredulity. Because, according to him, the main government health measures taken across the world to deal with the Covid-19 epidemic would have been planned several months before this virus made its appearance.
“In fact, the health pass was decided on September 12, 2019 at the initiative of the Brussels Commission and the Council of Heads of State for Europe, during a summit with the WHO [Organisation mondiale de la santé]. A vaccination passport… It’s curious! September 2019, compulsory vaccination passport, and they provide for everything: even disinformation, etc., fake news… ”, Philippe de Villiers said on Sud Radio, on May 16 (from 30’10 in the replay of the show The Incorrect).
Philippe De Villiers:
The compulsory health pass was decided by the governors, the European Commission, the WHO, .. to be implemented.
During a summit …

“After there was the famous simulation exercise in New York on October 18, 2019, where […] big pharma, big data, big finance simulate a coronavirus pandemic. Chance… Obviously, they are anticipating… For this simulation, there is Johnson & Johnson, the Davos forum, Bill Gates, John Hopkins University… ”, continued the one who maintained, at the same time, to have cured of Covid-19 thanks to hydroxychloroquine and pastis, on the advice of Didier Raoult.
Pressed by his interviewer, the journalist Eric Morillot, to specify his sources, Philippe de Villiers retorts: “It’s very simple, you go on the Internet” … before brandishing a sheet on the so-called “Event 201”, named after this supposed pandemic simulation.
FAKE OFF
If the European Commission and the WHO organized an event around vaccination in Brussels on September 12, 2019, it had no link with Covid-19, and even less with the health pass.
This first “world vaccination summit”, which brought together nearly 400 participants (political figures, scientists, health professionals, etc.) aimed,
according to the WHO, to accelerate “global action to stop the spread of vaccine-preventable diseases” and to “advocate against the spread of false information about vaccines around the world”.
In the line of sight, in particular: measles, “seven countries, including four located in the European region, [ayant] lost their status as a country having eliminated “this disease” in the last three years “. “Vaccination can already prevent 2 to 3 million deaths per year and could prevent 1.5 million additional deaths if global vaccination coverage were improved”, underlined on this occasion the President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker.
A world summit at the origin of a “10-point action plan”
In practice, this world summit resulted in the elaboration of a “10-point action plan” intended to “prevent the resurgence of these vaccine-preventable diseases”. This recommends in particular “information to the public to fight against smear campaigns” or “the establishment of health monitoring systems to detect the resurgence of certain diseases”. There was therefore no question, at the end of this gathering, of setting up the health pass.
What if the European Commission had mentioned from 2018 the idea of creating an “electronic vaccination card or passport” valid throughout Europe, to promote better vaccination coverage, in particular against diphtheria, tetanus and measles, this document was not compulsory – and no connection with
the digital Covid certificate set up since facing this virus.
An “Event 201” at the heart of conspiratorial rumors since 2020
As for “Event 201”, the pandemic simulation exercise then mentioned by Philippe de Villiers, it was indeed organized in October 2019 by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, with the World Economic Forum and the Bill Foundation. and Melinda Gates.
But this exercise focused on a fictitious epidemic whose epicenter was located in a pigsty in Brazil, and caused to cause the death of 65 million people – unrelated to the strain of coronavirus which spread in China a few months later, as the John Hopkins Center had indicated at the end of January 2020, in the face of the emergence of this theory.
“Although our tabletop exercise included a fictitious novel coronavirus, the data we used to model the potential impact of this fictitious virus is not similar to nCoV-2019 [détecté en Chine] », He indicated in a press release, specifying that it was by no means a “prediction” but “to highlight the challenges in terms of preparation and intervention which would arise in the context of a very serious pandemic”.
A practice far from unprecedented: the WHO itself had organized a pandemic simulation exercise in August 2010, in Cambodia, a few days after announcing the “end of the global H1N1 flu pandemic”.
