U.S. Government Sold Your Right to Jury Trial — to Insulate Big Pharma From Liability, by William Spruance

Posted on February 12, 2023 | 1 comment

The government pays big pharma for their products and shields them from liability when those products harm people. It’s the perfect business model for executives and shareholders without a shred of conscience. From William Spruance at childrenshealthdefense.org:

The federal government sold the Seventh Amendment, designed to protect your right to a jury trial, to the largest lobbying force in the country: Big Pharma.

On Feb. 24, 1985, The New York Times published “Glory Days End for Pharmaceuticals.” The article cited growing competition and legal liabilities as signs that “the big drug companies have suddenly found themselves mired in the same sort of troubles that have plagued less-glamorous industries for years.”

“Inevitably some [companies] will face staggering liabilities and lengthy court cases on approved drugs that later turn into flops,” journalist Winston Williams wrote.

Of course, the glory days did not end for Big Pharma.

From 2000 to 2018, 35 pharmaceutical companies reported cumulative revenue of $11.5 trillion. A study found that this was “significantly greater than other larger, public companies in the same time frame.”

Pfizer’s annual revenue jumped from $3.8 billion in 1984 to a record $100 billion in 2022. The company’s COVID-19 products, including its vaccine and Paxlovid accounted for $57 billion of that income.

The U.S. Government provided a steady stream of taxpayer dollars for Big Pharma’s revenue and shielded the benefiting companies from the cost of litigation.

Federal purchases of Pfizer and Moderna’s mRNA COVID-19 vaccines have totaled more than $25 billion. The government paid Moderna $2.5 billion of taxpayer funds to develop the vaccine, and President Biden called on local leaders to use public money to bribe citizens to get the shots.

Is Your Body the Legal Property of Big Pharma? By Dr. Joseph Mercola

Posted on November 20, 2022 | 1 comment

By the traditional definition, if somebody else owns your body, that makes you a slave. From Dr. Joseph Mercola at lewrockwell.com:

In the video above, Glenn Beck interviews investigative journalist Whitney Webb about her book, “One Nation Under Blackmail: The Sordid Union Between Intelligence and Crime That Gave Rise to Jeffrey Epstein,” Parts 1 and 2.

These books provide the necessary framework to understand not just Jeffrey Epstein’s geopolitical role and function, but also, more broadly, the deep connections between the U.S. intelligence community and organized crime.

The political corruption we see today grew out of this unholy alliance, which has led to blackmail and bribery being two key strategies by which the wealthy self-described “elites” maintain power and influence from behind the scenes.

As noted by Beck, Webb “is a massive threat to powerful people. If people will listen and … explore what she’s saying, the game is up.” I agree. People need to understand how the system we thought we knew actually works, how it’s been used against us, and what the end game is.

Organized Crime at the Highest Levels

Epstein’s pedophilia and sexual blackmail enterprise was a central cog in this network of corruption for decades. He was also involved in many other questionable and/or criminal enterprises, including financial crimes, but he wasn’t necessarily at the top level in any of them. Webb describes him more as a middle-management-type of character, carrying out orders from higher-ups, including U.S. intelligence.

Overall, these “higher-ups” are people who favor globalism and global governance, and who don’t want the United States to have a monopoly on power. This is part of why the power of the U.S. is now being dismantled before our eyes, but the undermining and infiltration have been going on for decades.

The CDC knew in January 2021 that the vaccines were unsafe, but they said NOTHING, by Steve Kirsch

Posted on March 17, 2022 | Leave a comment

The CDC didn’t want to upset their true constituency, big pharma. From Steve Kirsch at stevekirsch.substack.com:

The data was in public view in January 2021 that the vaccines were too unsafe for use in humans. By February, it was even more obvious. To this day, the CDC has never acknowledged this safety signal.

Remember Sgt. Schultz on Hogan’s Heroes? “I know nothing, nothing!” was his iconic line (see the video for the 3 second clip of this; see this video for a 30 sec clip).

تويتر \ Classic Movie Hub على تويتر: "Born Today, Jan 28, in 1910, John Banner - Over 130 film/tv roles - & of course best known as Sgt Schultz on Hogan's Heroes! "

Why is this relevant today? Because this is exactly how the CDC and FDA react when they see a safety signal. It is almost “as if” they had all been trained by Sgt. Schultz himself.

This morning I wondered to myself, “How early did they know?”

To find out, I did a few queries on the VAERS system.

It turns out that they knew in January 2021, as soon as the vaccines rolled out it was unsafe and they didn’t tell anyone.

And by February 2021, it was even more obvious. The data was in plain sight the entire time. It was in the primary database they look at for spotting safety signals: VAERS. It couldn’t have been more obvious. This is the database they were watching like a hawk. They said that.

And there is no way to sugar coat this data. There is no way to explain away this data.

So what they did is they pretended it didn’t exist and they said nothing, nothing. Just like Sergeant Schultz taught them.

Massive Conflicts of Interest at the NIH, by Dr. Joseph Mercola

Posted on March 15, 2022 | Leave a comment

They ought to just cut the pretense and call the NIH a joint venture subsidiary of the big pharmaceutical companies. From Dr. Joseph Mercola at lewrockwell.com:

One of the primary vehicles for kickbacks and fraud seems to be foundations associated with federal agencies. This article will highlight and expose yet another way we are being conned and manipulated by examining the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health1 (FNIH), whose board is plastered with major Big Pharma players.

This raises serious questions about conflicts of interest, seeing how the foundation oversees the distribution of hundreds of millions of dollars — unregulated funds that typically go right back into the coffers of the drug industry. It’s a very clever strategy to extract even more funds from the American taxpayers.

This conflict of interest also, at least in part, helps explain the actions of Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and now-retired director of the NIH, Dr. Francis Collins.2 Both have gone out of their way to protect the makers of COVID shots and dismiss evidence that SARS-CoV-2 was created in and escaped from a lab.

Pharma’s War on Scientists to Mandate Jabs for Life, by Joseph Mercola

Posted on December 30, 2021 | Leave a comment

A few years back many computer software companies, including Microsoft, went from a one-time purchase model to software as a service, or subscription model. Now big pharma, maybe egged on by Bill Gates, is trying to impose the same model on medicine: deadly jabs as a service for life, perhaps on an annual subscription. From Joseph Mercola at lewrockwell.com:

The more we learn about Dr. Anthony Fauci, the worse he looks. The grandfatherly figurehead has now had two years in the limelight, urging people to “follow the science,” which he has shamelessly equated to his own ever-shifting opinion.

Another cache of emails obtained via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by the American Institute for Economic Research (AIER) now reveals Fauci and his boss, National Institutes of Health director Francis Collins, colluded behind the scenes to quash dissenting views on the lockdowns.1

Fauci and Collins Conspired to Destroy Dissent

October 4, 2020, three medical professors — Martin Kulldorff from Harvard, Sunetra Gupta from Oxford and Jay Bhattacharya from Stanford — launched the Great Barrington Declaration, a statement anyone could sign onto that called for focused protection of high-risk individuals, such as the elderly, rather than the continuation of blanket lockdowns. AIER sponsored the declaration.

“Current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health,” the declaration stated. “Keeping these measures in place until a vaccine is available will cause irreparable damage, with the underprivileged disproportionately harmed.”

As support of the declaration rapidly spread, Fauci and Collins seemingly panicked, and discussed how they could possibly stop the growing call for a sane, science-based approach. In an October 8, 2020, email to Fauci, Collins wrote:2,3,4,5

“The proposal from the three fringe epidemiologists who met with the Secretary seems to be getting a lot of attention … There needs to be a quick and devastating published take down of its premises …”

“Don’t worry, I got this,” Fauci replied. Later, Fauci sent Collins links to newly published articles refuting the focused protection solution, including an op-ed in Wired magazine, and an article in The Nation, titled “Focused Protection, Herd Immunity and Other Deadly Delusions.” “Excellent,” Collins replied.

Who’s the Real Anthony Fauci? By Joseph Mercola

Posted on December 8, 2021 | Leave a comment

It’s a sign of how far the mainstream media has sunk that many Americans still think Anthony Fauci is a great guy. From Joseph Mercola at lewrockwell.com:

<span
data-mce-type=”bookmark” style=”display: inline-block; width: 0px;
overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;”
class=”mce_SELRES_start”></span>

We’re facing the greatest battle of our lifetimes, possibly of all time, according to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in this riveting interview with James Corbett.1 I urge you to set aside 60 minutes to watch it in its entirety, as it succinctly sums up the coalition of sinister forces — intelligence agencies, pharmaceutical companies, social media titans, medical bureaucracies, mainstream media and the military — that are using a health crisis to impose totalitarian control worldwide.

You can find all of the details in Kennedy’s bestselling book, “The Real Anthony Fauci,” which contains more than 2,200 footnotes backing up its data. The truth is, Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) — part of the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) — isn’t acting alone.

But he’s become the prominent face of the medical cartel and medical technocracy that is wrapped up in obliterating constitutional rights globally. And, as an authoritative medical figure and trusted adviser to six presidents, Fauci’s words are treated as gospel, despite the atrocities he’s committed.

Regulatory Agencies Turned Into Pharmaceutical Companies

Because of financial entanglements between pharmaceutical companies and the agencies that regulate them, public health agencies in the U.S. have been turned into veritable pharmaceutical companies. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, for instance, receives 45% of its annual budget from Big Pharma, Kennedy explains.2

Big Pharma uses Big Tobacco’s strategy to defeat Ivermectin, by Justus R. Hope, M.D.

Posted on April 14, 2021 | 2 comments

Beware of big pharmaceutical companies offering to conduct studies, especially when the studies are of products that compete with their products. From Justus R. Hope, M.D. at thedesertreview.com:

In the 1950’s scientists Richard Doll and Bradford Hill published a study from the UK finding that the risk of lung cancer was related to the number of cigarettes smoked per day, and this risk was 25 times higher in those who smoked more than 25 cigarettes per day.

Other scientists, namely Ernest Wynder and Evarts Graham, found a strong association between bronchogenic carcinoma and smoking. 96.5% of men with bronchogenic carcinoma were heavy chain smokers compared to 73.7% of the general population. Several extensive studies within one year of each other found the same thing, cigarette smoking is strongly related to lung cancer, and the more one smoked, the higher one’s risk.

The big problem was that the cigarette industry was a multibillion-dollar lobby by the mid- 1960s. And they were not about to allow a few renegade scientists to spoil their profits. The Marlboro Man, as Dr. Mukherjee wrote in his Pulitzer Prize-winning book, The Emperor of All Maladies, was the most successful smoking icon by 1955. Dr. Mukherjee describes how the Tobacco Industry fought back by twisting science against the public, first by arguing that an association does not prove cause and effect, and later by offering to perform the studies.

The tobacco scientists argued that lung cancer was caused by genetics: if you were born with cancer genes, you developed cancer, and if you weren’t, you didn’t get it. Cigarettes might be associated with cancer, but they argued that more studies were needed if one were to actually “prove a causal link” between cigarettes and cancer. The actual cause of lung cancer, the tobacco scientists concluded, was faulty genetics and not cigarettes.

To assist with these studies, the generous Big Tobacco even offered to fund the research by founding the Tobacco Industry Research Committee. The TIRC is described further in The Emperor of All Maladies, a book I strongly recommend everyone read. The author writes how this ingenious strategy kept the tobacco companies in business and record-breaking profits for the next 50 years despite causing many millions of lung cancer deaths.

First Do No Harm, by Nancy Murdoch

Posted on March 18, 2021 | Leave a comment

Safety and health are not the first priorities of either the pharmaceutical companies or their regulators. Nancy Murdoch did so well with her first guest post, “Follow the Science to Treatment,” that she’s been invited back.

“As to diseases, make a habit of two things to help, or at least, to do no harm.”

Hippocrates

“Most people believe the medicines they take are safe and effective, that they have been tested properly and have passed stringent regulatory scrutiny.  Few people understand the extent to which pharmaceutical promotion undermines these assumptions.”  Thus reads the first sentence in a book recently published called The Illusion of Evidence-based Medicine by Jon Jureidini and Leemon McHenry.

While many books have been written on this subject, this comes at a time when pharmaceutical companies are in the sights of the public, and these authors have inside information that has been relatively unavailable before.  They became privy to much of the information because they served as consultants to a Los Angeles based law firm that often acts as counsel for those suing pharmaceutical companies because of severe or fatal reactions to drugs.  By deposition the authors had access to documents and emails which laid out the serious problems facing the pharmaceutical companies and their plans to cover it up.  Because of the damning nature of the contents, the documents were considered by the court to be important enough to be declassified and made available to the public. 

While the authors intended audience is generally lawyers and doctors due to its technical jargon, the revelations of the corruption should be of interest to the public in general, especially to those who take prescribed medication now or in the future.  After all, the United States is at ground zero for the corruption, with worldwide implications.

Why You Can’t Trust the FDA, the WHO, the CDC, the AAP, Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, Sanofi or Pfizer, by Gary G. Kohls, MD

Posted on March 15, 2021 | Leave a comment

All of the institutions in the title have given us ample reason not to trust them. From Gary G. Kohls, MD, at lewrockwell.com:

“The FDA receives 45% of its annual budget from the pharmaceutical industry. The World Health Organization (WHO) gets roughly 50% of its budget from private sources, including Big Pharma and its allied foundations. And the CDC, frankly, is a vaccine company; it owns 56 vaccine patents and buys and (very profitably) distributes $4.6 billion in vaccines annually through the Vaccines for Children program, which represents over 40% of its total budget.” — Robert F. Kennedy, Jr  

“The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) derives a majority of its outside contributions – estimated at more than $25 million per year – from pharmaceutical companies that make vaccines. The pediatricians that the AAP represents derive the majority of their annual revenues from the administration of vaccines to their pediatric patients.) — J.B. Handley  

“Perhaps the most infamous example of corruption at the CDC is how the head of the CDC from 2002 to 2009, Julie Gerberding, left her government job to become president of Merck’s $5 billion dollar/year Vaccine Division. Merck’s CEO understandably described Gerberding as an “ideal choice”. She held that position until 2014 and currently holds the Merck job title of “Executive Vice President & Chief Patent Officer, Strategic Communications, Global Public Policy and Population Health”. That is to say, the former CDC director is now in charge of Merck’s propaganda efforts. One might say she’s basically doing the same job now that she did for the CDC, but even more lucratively. Apart from her salary, in 2015, Gerberding sold shares of Merck worth over $2.3 million. While at the CDC Gerberding shepherded Merck’s highly controversial and highly profitable Gardasil vaccine through the regulatory maize” — From www.collective-evolution.com
