In the years leading up to the COVID-19 pandemic,Bill Gatesand key figures from the Gates Foundation regularly interacted withJeffrey Epstein, discussing ways to finance and develop a global pandemic preparedness and vaccination network.
The communications between Gates and Epstein were included in the “Epstein Files” released Jan. 30 by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). Last year’s passage of the bipartisanEpstein Files Transparency Actprompted the release.

Ji published his analysis of health- and medical-related information in the files in a series ofSubstack articlesand posts on X.
Seamus Bruner, director of research at theGovernment Accountability Institute, said the files revealed the workings of a network of “Controligarchson steroids, but with shocking new receipts.”
Bruner said the files showed that Epstein helped develop “the architecture for pandemic profiteering” years before theCOVID-19pandemic.
The documents largely date from the 2010s — afterEpstein’s 2008 convictionfor soliciting underage sex and his inclusion on a registry of sex offenders.
Ji noted that months before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of the same actors who appear in the Epstein files participated inEvent 201— a simulation of aglobalpandemic caused by a coronavirus.
