How the Government protected pharma, and robbed you of your 7th amendment rights.

As we have already ventured down the path of the vaccines being a carefully crafted plan by our own government for many decades via many political maneuvers by several presidential administrations, we now go back to the micro level and look at this example of government protecting pharma.

We are all aware of the financial windfalls that companies such as Pfizer and Moderna have had during covid.  They have made billions of dollars, via the federal government, for their covid 19 products.  Products that the government owns and pays pharma to produce and distribute.  For those of you not aware, the hideous Grammy awards show a week ago was 100% sponsored by none other than Pfizer.  What have the Hollywood propagandists been spewing for the last 2 years?  “Get vaccinated”.  That group has been quite vocal.  Of course Pfizer is going to sponsor their semi satanic gathering they put on television in early February.  That entire display was just weird and disgusting.

Anywho, back on topic.

The US 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 vaccines have totalled 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.

In February 2020, Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar invoked his powers under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act to provide liability immunity for medical companies in response to Covid.  Azar repeatedly amended the order to continue providing liability immunity for pharmaceutical companies. A Congressional report explains that this means that the corporations “cannot be sued for money damages in court” if they fall under the protection of Azar’s orders. Americans bore costs related to producing the company’s products and purchasing the inventory of vaccines. In return, they faced mandates to take the mRNA shots, and they lost their right to hold commercial powers accountable for malfeasance.  This is a direct subversion the 7th amendment to the constitution, which states “to protect the rights of common citizens against commercial powers that would otherwise corrupt the judicial system for their own benefit.”  See why those emergency orders were soooo important?  And why several remain in place today?

The pipeline between the government and pharma is as deep as it is between government and social media.  We all blissfully went about our days believing we LIVED in a FREE constitutionally controlled country.  But oh we did not.  Years and decades created laws to subvert the very protections put into place to prevent American’s from living what we do today: government tyranny.   Some examples of pharma/government “good ol boys club”? lAex Azar, the HHS Secretary responsible for enacting the PREP Act, was president of the US division of Eli Lilly from 2012 to 2017. There, he oversaw significant price increases for drugs.  In 2018, Kaiser Health News found “Nearly 340 former congressional staffers now work for pharmaceutical companies or their lobbying firms.” Scott Gottlieb resigned as Commissioner of the FDA in 2019 to join Pfizer’s Board of Directors, a position that pays $365,000 per year. Gottlieb went on to advocate for lockdowns and censorship during Covid, even encouraging Twitter to suppress pro-vaccine doctors who discussed natural immunity. White House Counselor Steve Richetti worked as a lobbyist for twenty years before joining the Biden administration. His clients included Novartis, Eli Lilly, and Pfizer. The New York Times described him as “one of [Biden’s] most loyal advisers, and someone Mr. Biden will almost certainly turn to in times of crisis or in stressful moments.”

So not only do pharma employees go to work for the government, but vice versa as well.  How much money is funneled into pharma?  Well.  The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturerers of America (PRMA) lobbies for big pharma companies such as Pfizer, AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson.  They spent 85 MILLION dollars in lobby money just between 2020-2022.  Over the last decade, they have spent $250 million.  But that is peanuts compared to the overall total of ALL the lobby groups.  In total, big pharma spent over ONE BILLIOIN DOLLARS from 2020-2022 on government influence for big pharma.  How hard do you think they tried to brainwash us now?  Pharma PAID the government to do so.  Pharma IS the government.  Pharma OWNS the government.  They swap employees like middle schoolers swap boyfriends and girlfriends.  It is a huge revolving door of you scratch my back and I will scratch yours.

Billions of dollars in advertising resulted in millions of Americans tuning into programming sponsored by Pfizer. The press promoted their products and seldom mentioned Big Pharma’s history of unjust enrichment, fraud, and criminal pleas.  Upon the release of Pfizer’s 2022 Annual Report, CEO Albert Bourla stressed the importance of customer’s “positive perception” of the pharmaceutical giant. 

“2022 was a record-breaking year for Pfizer, not only in terms of revenue and earnings per share, which were the highest in our long history,” Bourla noted. “But more importantly, in terms of the percentage of patients who have a positive perception of Pfizer and the work we do.” The industry dedicated billions of dollars to manipulating Americans into taking its products while their government stripped them of their right to legal action; citizens, devoid of the ability to hold the companies accountable in the court of law, continue to subsidize the federal-pharmaceutical hegemon with their tax dollars. 

In effect, the federal government sold the Seventh Amendment to the largest lobbying force in the country. This transferred power from the citizenry to the nation’s ruling class and exchanged a constitutional right for a corporate liability shield. 

Still trust that the television told you the truth?  Or that your doctor told you the truth?  Or that any pharma employee is truthful?
