Wyoming Man Predicted Pandemic 15 Years Ago, At World Economic Forum

Hank McKinnell of Jackson predicted today’s worldwide pandemic during a speech to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, 15 years ago.

McKinnell recalls making a joint presentation with Dr. Julie Gerberding of the Center of Disease Control and Prevention, where they said the world was overdue for a pandemic. When it comes, he asked the crowd, you may be asked to isolate yourselves in your home for six months. “How many of you are able to do that willingly?” He said that only himself and Gerberding raised their hands.

So here we are one and a half decades later and the people are in a pandemic for the COVID-19 coronavirus. And folks are practicing the social isolation McKinnell both predicted and recommended in that speech.

McKinnell knows all about this stuff. He is the retired CEO of Pfizer, a worldwide pharmaceutical company with 110,000 employees. He has worked with President Trump’s chief advisor Dr. Tony Fauci for years. McKinnell spent 50 years in the healthcare field and has been on several presidential commissions.
