The Covid Dossier, Updated: A record of military and intelligence coordination of the global Covid event.
US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy. Thank you to the readers who provided information for many more EU countries, Turkey, Latin America and Asia.
This is a set of facts and references compiled by independent researchers Debbie Lerman and Sasha Latypova.
This dossier was originally published on February 4, 2025, the 5 year anniversary of the start of the global war on the people under pretenses of a fabricated “health” crisis. We have received a lot of feedback and additional information from all over the world. Big thanks to those who commented and provided references to the global military coordination. I am republishing the updated dossier.
Editorial note - my readers know that I have been vocal about covid as military operation since early 2022. I personally arrived at the conclusion that the massive harm from the covid shots and other government “pandemic response” measures was fully intentional. For purposes of this dossier, which Debbie and I disseminated to many other journalists and independent researchers, our aim was to remove any personal opinion and leave a dry, fact-only record. The readers can draw their own conclusions from this set of facts.
We have also recorded a 38 min video where we discuss the background and our own thinking about the global military-intelligence campaign which continues to date:
Please help us share this information far and wide. Feel free to repost/use any material herein and use the reference for further investigation. We appreciate credit, but it is also not obligatory. These are the facts from publicly available documentation.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Covid Dossier is a compilation of the evidence we have amassed over the last three years supporting the following claim:
Covid was not a public health event, although it was presented as such to the world’s population. It was a global operation, coordinated through public-private intelligence and military alliances and invoking laws designed for CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear) weapons attacks.
The Dossier contains information regarding the military/intelligence coordination of the Covid biodefense response in the U.S., U.K., Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, and more. For some countries we have extensively documented information. For others, we have some documentation of military/intelligence involvement, but not all the details. For as many countries as possible, we list the military/intelligence agencies in charge of their country’s Covid response; dates on which emergency declarations were made in each country; military/intelligence-related agencies and bodies in charge of censorship/propaganda; and top people with military/intelligence jobs who were known or reported to hold leadership positions in the response. We also list connections to global governing bodies, including the EU and UN/WHO, through which the response was coordinated. In the final section, we include a list of military/intelligence/biodefense alliances that provide multinational frameworks for responding to a bioterror/bioweapons attack.
By providing all of this information in one place, we hope to dispel the notion that Covid was a public health event, managed independently by each country’s public health agencies, with some limited, logistically focused military involvement. We also hope to drive home the shocking realization that not only were military and intelligence agencies in charge of Covid in all of these countries, but the response to what was represented as a public health crisis was coordinated through military alliances, including NATO.
This should be the subject of front-page news everywhere.
We are calling on investigators, whistleblowers, and anyone with information related to this topic to contact us and/or publish the information so that we can continue to construct the full picture of what happened to the world starting in early 2020 and continuing to this day.
HOW IT STARTED: FIVE YEARS AGO TODAY
Exactly five years ago, on February 4th, 2020, two things happened that almost nobody knows about, but that played an important role in the course of recent world history:
1) Two declarations for CBRN (weapons of mass destruction) emergencies – EUA and PREP Act – made by the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, were registered on this date. [ref][ref]
EUA stands for Emergency Use Authorization. Legally, EUA powers are intended for situations of grave, immediate emergencies involving weapons of mass destruction. They allow for the use of countermeasures against CBRN (chemical, biological, nuclear or radiological) agents without the regulatory oversight intended to ensure safety and efficacy, because the immediate threat of a CBRN attack is deemed so much greater than any potential risks caused by the countermeasures.[ref] The PREP Act is the legal indemnity granted to anyone involved in using an EUA countermeasure, because if a weapon of mass destruction is involved, the risk of the CBRN attack is so great that no one should face legal consequences for potential collateral damage caused by using unregulated countermeasures.
In order to activate EUA, the law requires “A determination by the Secretary of HHS that there is a public health emergency… that involves a CBRN agent or agents, or a disease or condition that may be attributable to such agent(s). [ref] So when the EUA was officially activated on February 4, 2020, it was in essence a declaration of a state of emergency involving weapon(s) of mass destruction.
2) A pharmaceutical executive was caught on tape saying that the U.S. Department of Defense called to inform him “that the newly discovered Sars-2 virus posed a national security threat.” [ref]
It is important to note that on February 4, 2020, there were fewer than a dozen confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus disease (later called Covid-19) in the US, and zero deaths. Worldwide, the death count was fewer than 500. There was nothing about the virus, at least as it was presented publicly, that would make anyone believe it posed a threat to national security.
These two events are remarkable for several reasons:
They indicate that the beginnings of Covid were rooted in national security machinations, not public health considerations.
They also strongly suggest that the deployment of the EUA “medical countermeasures” under Public Health Emergency declaration was officially launched at a time when an emergency, much less a national or a global one, could not possibly be determined. No public health parameters justifying that a novel virus posed a “threat to national security” existed at the time of the EUA and PREP Act declarations.
Thus, on this day five years ago, a military CBRN countermeasure deployment campaign was officially launched against a poorly defined illness that was alleged to have killed a few hundred people worldwide.
Within six weeks of this date, in order to ensure a market for the countermeasures (among other aims), the lockdown-until-vaccine response – which is a military/counterterrorism plan and has nothing to do with public health [ref] – went into effect all over the world.
WHY THIS INFORMATION IS CRUCIAL
It is crucially important to understand that Covid was a globally coordinated response, based on legal frameworks intended for biodefense/biowarfare situations. The attack that initiated the global Covid response could have been real, perceived or invented – regardless of the trigger, the lockdown-until-vaccine paradigm originated in the military/intelligence biodefense playbook, not in any scientifically based or epidemiologically established public health plan.[ref]
This means that nothing about the response – masking, distancing, lockdowns, vaccines – was part of a public health plan to respond to a disease outbreak. Rather, every aspect of the response was intended to induce public panic in order to gain compliance with biodefense operations, culminating with the injection of unregulated mRNA products, which were legally treated as biodefense military countermeasures (MCMs), into billions of human beings.
Who ordered and directed these operations? Who benefited from them? Who was and still is covering them up? We have been investigating these questions for the last several years, and we hope many who read this will join us moving forward.
CALL TO ACTION
Most journalists in both corporate and alternative spaces are either unaware or unwilling to cover the military/intelligence/biodefense/global coordination aspects of Covid. We need to change that.
Please help us shift the conversation to focus on the true nature of the Covid response and the existential questions raised by it.

For these countries, we have some information regarding military and intelligence roles in each country’s pandemic response:
The Spanish army was deployed in March and April of 2020, and again in September, when the army started enforcing coronavirus lockdown restrictions in Madrid. [ref] By October 2020, the military was tasked with track-and-trace of "cases" [ref]
In Austria, Major General Rudolf Striedinger was co-leader of the national Covid crisis coordination (GECKO) [ref]
In Portugal, a COVID-19 Vaccination Plan Task Force was set up by the Portuguese government on November 23, 2020, by joint order (despacho) of the Minister of National Defense, João Gomes Cravinho, the Minister of Internal Administration, Eduardo Cabrita, and the Minister of Health, Marta Temido. [ref] It was initially led by Francisco Ramos, former Secretary of State for Health, but he was replaced in February 2021 by vice-admiral Henrique de Gouveia e Melo, a naval officer who was already part of the task force. [ref]
In Ireland, a Joint Task Force (JTF) was established under Operation FORTITUDE in March 2020 to coordinate the contribution of the Defense Forces to the whole-of-Government COVID-19 response, [ref] commanded by Brigadier General Kevin Campion. [ref]
In Slovakia, in October/November 2020, The Armed Forces of the Slovak Republic was entrusted with the task of coordinating and managing operation “Joint Responsibility,” the main goal of which was to conduct nationwide testing of 5.5 million people. [ref]
In Hungary, as reported in July 2020, Prime Minister Viktor Orban had put Hungary’s security forces front and centre of the fight against the novel coronavirus, with police officials chairing daily press conferences, military commanders assigned to head major hospitals and military advisers deployed in key strategic companies to ensure their smooth running. [ref]
In Turkey, as reported in 2024, the Ministry of Health worked closely with the Ministry of Interior, which oversees the paramilitary Gendarmerie General Command, to coordinate the implementation of measures to battle the pandemic. Externally, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs spearheaded the use of the Turkish military, because of its organizational capacity, to help produce, transport, and distribute aid to foreign nations. This deployment of hard power through the quasi-military gendarmerie and the regular army allowed President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to demonstrate his willingness to participate in alliances… [ref]

In Brazil, as reported in July, 2020: General Eduardo Pazuello, “a military general with no experience, remains health minister.” Furthermore, since Pazuello took over the Ministry of Health, “at least 25 members of the military have been appointed, most with no public health experience. Many criticize the government for pushing technical knowledge aside by appointing military personnel.” [ref]
In Chile, on March 18, 2020, a public state of exception [emergency] was declared. as reported by the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) in October 20201, “military forces have had a key and outsized role in Chile’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The state of exception allowed the President to appoint 16 “Chiefs of National Defence” (Jefes de la Defensa Nacional), one in each region of the country. These Chiefs, who are high-ranking military officials, had extensive powers in their designated regions, including powers more appropriately held by public health experts in the context of public health emergency such as the one brought about by COVID-19.” [ref]
In Peru, on April 1, 2020, with a reported total of 30 deaths and 1,065 infections attributed to the novel coronavirus, the military called up its reservists for the first time in the country’s history. As reported by AP “Peru had never called up reservists, not even during the internal armed conflict with the Shining Path terrorist group between 1980 and 2000 or during the cholera outbreak in 1991.” [ref]

Sri Lanka, as reported in April 2023, extensively used its military and intelligence agencies for pandemic control during the COVID-19 crisis. [ref]
In the Philippines, as reported in July 2021, starting in March 2020 “the government adopted a militarized approach in its fight against the COVID-19 pandemic whose council is predominantly a group of former military officers.” [ref]
In Indonesia, according to one report, the government “involved the military institution in responding to the emerging outbreak.... This therefore involved the creation of COVID-19 task force consisting mostly of military personnel.” [ref]
Covid Dossier: military/intelligence/biodefense plans & alliances
The following plans and alliances provide frameworks for responding to a bioterror/bioweapons attack. The information provided in this Dossier suggests they may have been invoked in the global Covid response.
U.S. Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Response (9/9/2016) This publication provides joint doctrine for military domestic or international response to minimize the effects of a chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear incident. [ref]
Medical Countermeasures Consortium - a four-nation partnership involving the Defence and Health Departments of Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States.[ref]
Quadripartite Medical Intelligence Committee (QMIC) the health equivalent of the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing alliance [ref]
NATO - Joint Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defence Centre of Excellence [ref]
EU - Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) [ref]
NATO's doctrine for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) defense is outlined in documents such as AJP-3.8(A), Allied Joint Doctrine for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defence, which was published on March 30, 2012. This doctrine provides NATO strategic and operational commanders with fundamental principles for planning, executing, and supporting NATO operations where the threat and/or risk of intentional or accidental use of CBRN substances are assessed or exist.
NATO also has a Combined Joint CBRN Defence Task Force (CJ-CBRND-TF) that is specifically trained and equipped to deal with CBRN incidents and/or attacks against NATO populations, territory, or forces. This task force includes the CBRN Defence Battalion and the CBRN Joint Assessment Team, both of which are multinational and multifunctional teams capable of rapid deployment to participate in the full spectrum of NATO operations.

Jacques Attali openly claimed this would be done and was an advocate for it 40 years ago. This has been a long term plan/dream of some. It is so obvious but because it is also so preposterous, audacious and diabolical the majority of people just cannot believe it could be true. It is why Lenin/Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot and many others throughout history were able to do what they did.

Here's a fun one:
August 12–19, 2019 — US Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL) takes part in the Aspen Institute's week-long conference in Rwanda, East Africa, which is underwritten by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. While attending the event, Rush meets with Gates Foundation representatives to discuss which companies a future government contact tracing program will award contracts to. This is before any mention of a pandemic.
NOTE: Nine months after these meetings, on May 1, 2020, Rush would introduce in Congress HR 6666, the $100 billion COVID-19 Testing, Reaching and Contacting Everyone (TRACE) Act. Then, thirteen days later, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi slides $75 billion for "Covid-19 testing, tracing and isolation efforts" into the $3 trillion Covid relief package.
And one more for the history books:
September 19, 2019 — The Global Preparedness Monitoring Board (GPMB), a monitoring and advocacy body that was co-convened by the World Bank Group and the WHO in May 2018, announces it has released its first annual report, "A World at Risk: Accelerating Global Preparedness for Health Emergencies." The report (whose cover features an enlarged photo of a coronavirus cell) warns that the world is not prepared for a "fast-moving airborne pandemic that could kill up to 80 million people, disrupt economies and create social chaos."
The illustrious members of the GPMB board include: Dr. Chris Elias, president of the Global Development Program of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF); Sir Jeremy Farrar, director of the UK's Wellcome Trust; Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID); Dr. George Gao, director-general of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CCDC) in the People’s Republic of China.
