Science Must Supersede Superstition: The Battle for a World Health System to Defeat the Pandemic 

Like it or not, the emergence of the Omicron variant has called the issue: Either the pandemic is defeated everywhere, or it will be defeated nowhere. What some thought was “Africa’s problem” is now yours as well.

When the pandemic first hit in 2019, Helga Zepp-LaRouche quickly called for an international crash program to build modern health systems in every country in the world, along with the full-set human and physical infrastructure needed to make that possible – from energy, to water, to food, to modern transport, to the education and training of skilled professionals. That call has since been taken up by the Committee for the Coincidence of Opposites and its co-founder, former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Joycelyn Elders, who on Nov. 23 issued an open letter to virologists and medical experts around the world: “The world’s healers must step up now, to do the job that has not been done. We must educate the people so that Science may supersede superstition, hope may conquer despair, and concern for all humanity overturns a self-destructive concern for just a select few of humanity.”

This week, Dennis Small of EIR's Ibero-American editor, joined the Fireside Chat for a discussion on the strategy for defeating the pandemic.
