One again, we observe why it's important for multinationals, like Pfizer, to 'buy' government support.
Government determines which businesses get access to monopoly profits, which businesses get freedom from liability and which businesses stay in business.
Government determines who is a parasite, and who is a host. A parasite is certainly a plutocrat and very probably a technocrat. The sheep are hosting many parasites if you're wondering why you're struggling.
There's little competition in neoliberal 'free' markets. Most of the competition is between the parasites for the last drop of your income.
Why is government flogging the unvaccinated?
The unvaccinated are being compared to the vaccinated. They are the control group.
They can't be seen to be doing better than the vaccinated. That would be a disastrous outcome for Pfizer, and the governments that have spent billions on one solution.
The unvaccinated have to be vilified and punished. But most of all they need to be denied access to safe antiviral drugs that work. Like Ivermectin.
Merck's patent on Ivermectin has run out. It can't make any money out of Ivermectin which is why it's bringing a Covid-19 product to the FDA for approval. Ivermectin tablets cost 6 cents each through the WHO.
Pfizer is flogging its product before it comes to an inglorious end. At some point the booster story will lose traction. At some point, the damage will be toted up and the truth will be revealed.
Gibraltar is the most vaccinated place on earth with 100% of the population vaccinated, and 40% boosted. This is the latest.
And, here is our neighbour, New Zealand. Boosters aren't add-ons. They're just more of the same thing that's not working as advertised.
Another Giant that can't Create
Pfizer is a rigid power hierarchy. Multiple layers of management render it moribund. It's overloaded with bullshit jobs1. In other words, it can't create. It has to buy.
It has a parasites mentality. It obtains the legal protection of patents, and then squeezes every dollar of profit out of the patent.
The FDA's approval was given to BioNTech, the German developer of the so-called "Pfizer" vaccine. Pfizer has a partnership agreement with BioNTech, as does the Chinese company, Fosun Pharma.
BioNTech created the vaccine. Pfizer and Fosun commercialised it.
The Role of Government.
The neoliberal mantra for the benefit of the sheep is that government is a useless entity that wastes tax payers's money. Leave everything to the 'free' market and it will provide.
Let's be clear. Government does not use tax revenue to fund its spending. It creates money out of thin air when it spends, and it destroys tax money immediately on receipt.
Let's follow the money trail.
Medical research can be an expensive drain on profits if nothing profitable eventuates. It may not suit shareholders who have a low appetite for risk. Research projects need careful evaluation because business is income constrained. It has to live within its income.
But one entity's spending isn't constrained by its income. That entity creates money out of thin air when it spends. That entity is the perfect candidate to fund risky research. That entity is the currency issuing government.
In theory, government's not driven by profit. It's driven by voter aspirations.
In practice, government is more likely to be driven by donor aspirations with Big Pharma arguably the largest donor.
And so it is with BioNTech. It was heavily funded by the German government which identified biotechnology as commercially promising.
In summary, the German government took the risk out, BioNTech created the vaccine and Pfizer commercialised it with assistance from the US government. The latter two are known masters of subterfuge.
Finally, the obvious purchaser is an entity that creates money out of thin air. And, so it is, with governments buying large amounts of vaccine.
It's not clear where the foreign exchange risk lies but you'd have to think that the US is buying in US dollars which it creates out of thin air.
Germany is in an interesting position. It funded the vaccine, and it's negotiating purchase as a member of the European Union.
Shareholders and the Third World
Pfizer vaccination rates in the third world are miniscule. Dividends aren't being sacrificed to benefit the poor.
Covid in Third World Countries
Covid isn't necessarily a disaster in the Third World. Some countries have been using alternative drugs with great success.
Covid in the Developed World
Vaccination doesn't prevent transmission, and doesn't remain effective for long periods. Boosters are required.
Myocarditis is a widely-reported and officially acknowledged adverse effect of the mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna).
As an aside, my cardiac specialist, a Professor of considerable repute, has been vaccinated with AstraZeneca, acknowledging that mRNA vaccines like Pfizer produce adverse cardiac reactions.
What's in a Pfizer purchase agreement?
Pfizer's confidential contracts with some governments are apparently leaked.
"There’s good reason Pfizer fought to hide the details of these contracts".
These are some excerpts from the linked article.
"if there are any laws or regulations in your country under which Pfizer could be prosecuted, you agree to change the law or regulation to close that off."
Pfizer does not allow government to escape their contract which "states that even if a drug will be found to treat COVID-19, the contract cannot be voided."
"Purchaser acknowledges…the long-term effects and efficacy of the Vaccine are not currently known and that there may be adverse effects of the Vaccine that are not currently known."
"Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Pfizer, BioNTech (and) their Affiliates…from and against any and all suits, claims, actions, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, settlements, penalties, fines, costs and expenses…"
The state must defend Pfizer: "(Pfizer) shall notify Purchaser of Losses for which it is seeking indemnification… Upon such notification, Purchaser shall promptly assume conduct and control of the defence of such Indemnified Claims on behalf of (Pfizer)".
None of those contract conditions seem out of place, if you're a monopoly supplier chasing profits, and caring nought for the sheep.
New Pfizer Drug Paxlovid and Ivermectin
Dr. John Campbell is talking on YouTube about the new Pfizer drug Paxlovid and Merck's Ivermectin here.
Paxlovid works very similarly to Ivermectin which is banned in my country, and many others. Paxlovid is or will be patented. Ivermectin is out of patent.
Paxlovid will be a big earner. It will be approved for emergency use freeing Pfizer of liability.
Merck's Ivermectin is a known safe anti-viral drug selling for 6 cents a tablet.
Merck’s answer is a new 'miracle' pill called Molnupiravir. It certainly won't be available through WHO for 6 cents a tablet.
"...molnupiravir is intriguing and a testament to government-funded innovation. Molnupiravir, also known as EIDD-2801 or MK-4482, came out of Drug Innovation Ventures at Emory (DRIVE), a not-for-profit LLC owned by Emory University."
From this site:
"Mercks' molnupiravir, for instance, is seeking an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the FDA and "Merck will receive approximately $1.2 billion to supply approximately 1.7 million courses of molnupiravir to the United States government.""
All these shenanigans are about maximising profits.
So how about this quote from Campbell?
"No one’s saying that the information [about ivermectin’s efficacy] has been deliberately hidden away while millions of people have died".
Of course, that's exactly what's happened.
So imagine that the unvaccinated control group swallowed Ivermectin at 6 cents a pop and the vaccinated swallowed pfizer at $60 a pop. That was never going to happen. The unvaccinated had to be punished. They had to be dissuaded.
Africa should be a candidate for a Covid-19 pandemic because it can't afford vaccines. But, it's remarkably free of Covid-19.
This study set out to evaluate the impact of ivermectin interventions for onchocerciasis (river blindness) on the morbidity, mortality, recovery, and fatality rates caused by COVID-19.
It concluded that:
"The community-directed onchocerciasis treatment with ivermectin (aka Mectizan Program)* is the most reasonable explanation for the decrease in morbidity and fatality rate in Africa. In areas where ivermectin is distributed to and used by the entire population, it leads to a significant reduction in mortality."*
Indian State, Uttar Pradesh, with 230 million inhabitants, started distributing ivermectin to all its people in May. At that time, Uttar Pradesh was racking up new cases of Covid-19 at the rate of 30,000 cases per day. There have been 1,710,356 confirmed cases of COVID-19.
Currently about 130 people are sick, that is, one in every 1,500,000 inhabitants. The chart tells the story.
So that's the developing world who can't afford to be extorted, and have to act quickly in the face of a rising tsunami of Covid-19 cases.
So now let's return to the 'so called' developed world.
And, don't be mislead by appearances. It's Australia I'm talking about. A nation used to being extorted, and being told what to do. Given its low quality politicians, one that is lucky to be an island with internal borders.
So my silly State Government has rolled out draconian measures against the unvaccinated.
This is the last paragraph of their edict:
"Once restrictions ease and our borders re-open, we expect outbreaks in the community that will put pressure on our hospital system. These measures will be in place to protect both unvaccinated people, and vaccinated people who are most vulnerable to COVID-19."
So the only place that the unvaccinated will be allowed into is hospital.
Do you remember when vaccinated people weren't vulnerable? Do you remember when vaccinated people didn't transmit the virus?
And, what about poor Gibraltar? They don't have any unvaccinated to punish, and covid is increasing.
As an aside, imagine if cash is eliminated in favour of a digital currency. It would be very easy to make the unvaccinated, non-citizens. Keep that in mind as things develop.
The technology of oppression is available. It just needs a nutter, and nutters to vote for the nutter. History tells us that there's no shortage of either when times are tough.
This is a multicultural country that will fall to pieces when the thumb screws are tightened.
Vitamin D
My government is not allowing citizens access to repurposed safe drugs like Ivermectin.
But you can do something, and that's boost your vitamin D.
Dr. John Campbell is talking on YouTube about the benefits of Vitamin D here.
Conclusion
It's a bit of a hodgepodge. Sorry about that.
Thank you for reading. A sterling effort if you got to the end.
We need more heterodox versions of events. We're embracing extreme views from our lounge chairs. When instead, we should be out taking radical action to conserve and ration what's left. We should be planning for our decentralised, community owned, low energy future.
Instead we're heading toward war over the remaining energy. That's the human way.
This is a story of the racketeering that government and big business engage in every day.
I'm not sure what the authoritarianism is about. Is it just to pull off this scam or is it practice for reducing the population? Time will tell.
And this will surprise you. I don't get invited to plutocratic cocktail parties so I don't know what's planned for us.
