Swiss Scientific and Medical Corps: a new idea to fight pandemics

Switzerland should create a new type of scientific-military collaboration to address public health challenges like the one we are now experiencing, argues Rudolph Thomson.

The response of many countries to the Covid-19 pandemic has been characterized by calls for a “war footing”, and rightly so, for this is war even though the enemy is unarmed and invisible. It therefore behoves us to expand our philosophy and approach to armed conflict with complementary scientific and medical capabilities and resources to fight unarmed conflicts.

...I fervently support the continuing existence of the Swiss army and its conscription policy to defend the population should it be necessary. I do not propose curtailing the functions of the army. But we can and should seriously consider its composition to include a sizeable corps of scientific and medical personnel encompassing numerous types of expertise and disciplines.

He is connected on Linkedin to Fritz Newman, Executive Partner at Genesis Corporation. Fritz is also Harvard educated adn connected to the Bank of Boston.

In Linkedin the names that pop up in the right column are usually accounts associated with the main one. In this case we see that Newman has a connection to Peter Blair of Blair Oil Investments LLC https://imgur.com/a/hqnyJJy

To corroborate this I googled both names and came up with St Paul's boarding school in New Hampshire where they were classmates in the Seventies. http://www.sps70.org/AlumniHorae/45thSummary.pdf

St. Paul's School https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Paul's_School_(New_Hampshire)

St. Paul's School (also known as St. Paul's or SPS) is a highly selective college-preparatory, coeducational boarding school in Concord, New Hampshire, affiliated with the Episcopal Church. It is often regarded as one of the most elite boarding schools in the United States.

History

In 1856, Harvard University-educated physician and Boston Brahmin George Cheyne Shattuck, inspired by the educational theories of Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi ,[31] turned his country home in the hamlet of Millville, New Hampshire, into a school for boys

Controversies

• Sexual misconduct 1948–1988 : In May 2017, the school issued a report, led by former Massachusetts attorney general Scott Harshbarger, detailing sexual misconduct by thirteen former faculty and staff members which occurred between 1948 and 1988. The report did not focus on any allegations that occurred after 1988, but more victims may come forward.[68].. The sexual misconduct, documented in the report, covered assaults, harassments, and rape. One student who contacted the Boston Globe, but not the people conducting the report said, "It's not a complete accounting. It's nowhere close."

• "Senior Salute" rape allegations and trial : The "Senior Salute", a supposed[71] ceremony in which seniors would proposition younger classmates for sexual encounters before graduation, was in the news in 2015, when a former student was charged with the rape of a 15-year old freshman, Chessy Prout. A St. Paul's student, Owen Labrie, was charged with several counts of felony sex assault, misdemeanor sexual assault, endangering the welfare of a child, and using a computer to solicit or lure a child under the age of 16.

• Criminal investigation by attorney general : In July 2017, the New Hampshire Attorney General, with assistance from Concord police and the New Hampshire State Police, started a criminal investigation into the school to determine whether administrators engaged in conduct that endangered the welfare of students. St. Paul's administrators can not be given jail time, so the investigation may force the school to adopt changes, such as a hotline for the reporting of suspected misconduct and new training for school staff and teachers.
