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. |

They (We) are railing against Pfizer because the vaccine did not work as advertised by the president you elected: If you get the vaccine, you can't get Covid, you can't give Covid to anyone. Pfizer, under this tag, sold hundreds of millions of doses to the US Govt.
*Now we all have this 'stuff' in our system. We were told it was safe. That's turning out to not necessarily be true for all people either. The only organization I distrust more than Pfizer is our gov't.

Note the very first sentence that started this thread. But we'll see what the courts have to say. That excuse worked once, maybe it will work again.

First of all, Tucker is very partisan and has been known to be at least disingenuous if not an outright liar -- note the recent lawsuit by Dominion. Second, the reason, the drug companies are so demonized is that they are not regulated in the U.S. We are the only advanced nation in the world that does not regulate drug prices and largely because of that, our healthcare is twice as expensive as the next highest nation and much more than that for many others. Third, if we had Medicare for all, this would change because then the government would negotiate the price for drugs. Fourth, in most countries commercials for pharmaceuticals are prohibited. Fifth, the pharmaceutical industry is the richest industry in the world, its wealth outranking even the oil companies. |

I should have asked for two recent defamation lawsuits that actually have some merit under the current defamation guidelines. It is highly likely that every media source has been sued at some point. Since the question of merit has recently become a political issue, we can't discuss it here. No media gets everything right all the time. All media is created by humans who have biases. Some media have positions that color their messages. A few go so far as to become caricatures of themselves.

A month ago CBS announce that the Hunter Biden laptop was authentic. Really? So soon?
Do you remember NBC editing the 911 tape in the Trayvon Martin case. How about one of the networks showing us KY troop exercises and claiming it was bombardments in Syria. How does a newspaper publish false stories about Russian Collusion for 2 yrs. and get a Pulitzer for it? |

There is a video on YouTube of a lecture by the former Editor-in-Chief of the New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. Marcia Angell, who goes into detail how the drug companies continually produce new drugs for the same illnesses that often have less efficacy, just so they raise the cost of them. It's known that the drug companies will inflate the cost of life-saving drugs to increase their already obscene profits. They have no ethic; their only objective is the bottom line. But that basically is how our system operates. Capitalism needs control; otherwise, you have unbridled capitalism, which is what we have today. We've gone through this in the past with the Progressive era when they broke up Standard Oil and Upton Sinclair wrote the Jungle about the meatpacking industry, etc, and the Sherman Anti-Trust Act was passed to limit monopolies. Then we had the Great Depression when the capitalists had gotten out of control again and crashed our economy and the divergence between rich and poor had become obscene. And now today, once again, we have a homeless problem and tent cities, and the divergence between rich and poor is even greater than during the Great Depression. When will we ever learn that Capitalism is a system without ethics and that it needs to be controlled because the bottom line is their only objective. |
