I’ve been a Pfizer shareholder for many years. The company’s net profit in 2021, 2 years into COVID, was about the same as it was in 2017, 2 years before COVID! Their stock price today is about what it was at the end of 2018, a year before any thought of a COVID vaccine.
So where does this impression of ‘record profits’ come from? And why does the media keep portraying Pfizer as the ‘enemy’? A lot of people would be dead if all the drug companies disappeared!

One of the many things that bothered me about the 2020 election was the withholding of the news about the vaccine's upcoming use until after the election. I believe this along with news suppression certainly had some impact of what occurred.
In return, every effort was made by our government to sell every dose of vaccine it possible could. This effort included telling us at one point the if we took the vaccine we could not get Covid. We were also told if we took the vaccine we could not spread Covid. Vaccination was not only encouraged it was MANDATED in every area that the government could force it including those were it didn't have the Constitutional authority to do so. They force members of the armed services, young healthy individuals to take the vaccine even though Covid poses very little harm to individuals at that age. Many have since had cardiac problems.
And so I believe this bargain to influence the election resulted in permanent harm to many Americans who needlessly were vaccinated under threat of job loss even those it was unnecessary.
How fortunate for Pizer that just as Viagra was going off patent, Covid and Joe came along.
