The WEF and the Pandemic

“The Davos World Economic Forum (WEF) is a premier forum for governments, global corporations and international entrepreneurs. Founded in 1971 by engineer and economist Klaus Schwab, the WEF describes its mission as “shaping global, regional and industry agendas” and “improving the state of the world”. According to its website, ‘moral and intellectual integrity is at the heart of everything it does.’ The WEF has been involved in the coronavirus pandemic in several ways.”
