The FDA and Big Pharma are a revolving door for executives...and there was a "Gold Rush" worth $10's of billions to get there first. Corners were cut...without a doubt. They alter the living shit out of their test results...remember Pfizer and Chantix? How they rushed that shit to market...the only difference is this time is they wont face the largest class-action suit in history...like they did with that crap. Its free license to produce a rushed product without liability...and it's worth billions. What could go wrong... Knowing what I have seen...1st hand...I have zero trust in their integrity..and, frankly, think they are evil at the very top. Want a vaccine...get one. No one is stopping anyone from it...financial coercion crosses a pretty dark threshold. Last edited by BlackOp; 04-15-2021 at 09:34 PM.. |

Also, you do realize it's not in their business model to "permanently heal the customer base" because coming up with a vaccine is completely different from developing boner pills? Right? |

What's the final numbers on the Chantix thing? I vaguely remember reading about it... just browsed an article that mentioned 78 deaths in the first couple years with 3.5 million prescriptions, which would put it at about 1 in every 50,000.
I assume it got a lot worse than that? I saw another article about "~3000 lawsuits", but it didn't give much info on scope. |

Yada yada yada magic of the free market yada yada yada.
Just because big pharma is another evil company doesn't mean vaccines aren't wonder drugs that can save thousands of lives and reduce the suffering of millions more. Yes, I get why somebody who is relatively young and healthy might think they don't need it. Although it shouldn't just be about the fatality rate or spreading the virus or giving the virus a chance to mutate, although those are valid reasons. Even low risk individuals can get sick enough to miss work and/or take sick leave. If they get sick enough, they will go to the hospital and occupy a bed. Depending on their insurance, somebody else end up sharing the medical cost through higher premiums or higher taxes that could have been avoided. Sure, people can and will refuse the vaccine and that's that. But its disingenuous or naive to say it doesn't affect anyone else.

The process has been compromised...and chemical based pharma companies were formed with the sole purpose of being able to patent cures. Rockefeller was a big part of the transition away from holistic medicine....they accomplished this by bribing elite colleges and having their press demonize it...and ostracize those doctors that wouldn't play ball. They literally created a propaganda campaign against natural medicine. Most people dont know the real history behind these companies...it was always about synthetic cures that they could own....monopoly control. They have never been ethical from their inception... It switched from trying solve disease and cure people...to profiting from it and exploiting the sick. Last edited by BlackOp; 04-15-2021 at 11:24 PM.. |

We're talking about vaccines. Period. That's it. No recurring prescriptions. No monthly payments or insurance payments or jack shit like that. The government said, "Here's the money. Give us a vaccine." The one they've got (which they're in direct competition with 4 different ways) is pretty damn good. The mRNA technology is a testament of mankind's creativity and ingenuity. If you want to argue that they didn't make it as good or potent or effective in the first batch on purpose all because you saw some hook-nosed mustache-twirling board member say something objectionable about profit margins one time, then sure, I'll bounce it back your way... I guess you can choose what you want to believe. But the vaccine wasn't "rushed." The technology isn't "untested." And it's absolutely ridiculous to think that in something as delicate and precise as developing an mRNA vaccine with an efficacy in the 90s that they "cut corners" on purpose. |
