The Call for Action CSIS-LSHTM High-Level Panel on Vaccine Confidence and Misinformation was an October, 2020 panel discussion arranged by the deep state think-tank Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) and the research institution that has probably been most central in the COVID-19 psy-op, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM).
While probably part of a bigger deep state effort, the group's recommendations and strategies to "proactively stop" unwanted information and instead amplify their narrative, presented as "accurate and reliable scientific content" match very closely to the info strategy actually used.
Censorship
The conclusion wishes for a US national censorship authority under the auspices of a National Security Council (NSC) directorate for global health security and biodefense "that can lead collaboration across agencies and sectors..to monitor and counter online misinformation around science and medicine and engage with social media platforms and technology companies", what it strangely calls "independent media", and "biopharmaceutical companies, health care providers, citizen groups, and cybersecurity experts"...
"That office’s efforts"...."should be closely linked to broader interagency work".
Participants
The panelists were a remarkable mix of actors from Big Pharma (Julia Spencer from Merck) and their allies (Ed Whiting, Director of Strategy, Wellcome Trust), large social media corporations (Sarah Shirazyan Facebook) and fact checkers (Claire Wardle from First Draft News).
Other were from secretive parts of the military-industrial complex (Elizabeth Wehr, from the defense, intelligence, security Parsons Corporation) and several from CSIS itself.
Several opinion polling experts were present (Johnny Heald from Opinion Research Business International (ORB)) and (Mollyann Brodie, responsible for Public Opinion and Survey Research at the Kaiser Family Foundation).
The US government was present both at the open level and in its covert aspects, with Biden's future deputy secretary of defense Kathleen Hicks and other characters from the shades, like Juan Zarate, a Treasury expert specializing in blocking funds to unwanted entities.
