Anyone that likes thinking will get the importance of this post.
Big pharma executives and shareholders saw their wealth skyrocket in the week after the Omicron variant was discovered, with eight top Pfizer and Moderna shareholders making a combined $10.3bn.
The two drug companies manufacture mRNA Covid injections and with Omicron sweeping the world, investors are sweeping the returns into their bank accounts. The eight top Pfizer and Moderna shareholders alone made a combined $10.3 billion.
Pfizer CEO, Albert Bourla, personally made $339,236 on the value of shares he holds in the week after the announcement of Omicron.
Moderna’s CEO, Stephane Bancel, raked in $3.19 million all by himself by selling off 10,000 shares for $319 each on 26 November, the day after Omicron was announced. And just under two weeks later, by 5 December, became more than $1,7 billion richer with the value of his remaining shares rising.
Blackrock investment company made $2.5 billion just in the one week following the Omicron announcement. And Vanguard made a whopping $1.01 billion from its shares in Moderna and $1.5 billion from Pfizer.
Let that sink in

To put it in to perspective before COVID the big Pharma companies were moving towards negative returns on their R & D costs due to massive development and testing costs combined with massive fines for bribery, corruption and continuing to sell drugs that were killing people in their thousands.

There is an issue here in that large media organisations have the same principal shareholders as big pharmaceuticals and many healthcare suppliers. For any liberal democracy to function the media need to be fully independent. Pharmaceuticals need to held up to scrutiny for obvious reasons, we are already over-medicated. For example the over prescription of anti-depressants is only now starting to be addressed whilst the opioid crisis persists. |  |

Strange thing to say. The pharmaceutical companies are there to make money firstly.
That’s one reason promoting things such as vitamin d and fasting aren’t even discussed by big pharmaceutical companies, because there is no money in it for them. | |

I think it is criminal than anti vaxers can promote the lie that it is safer to catch the virus than to have the vaccine. | |

Well fancy people making money out of developing life saving therapies. How awful!
People should only be allowed to make money out of really good things like selling arms, tobacco, alcohol, fast food and exploiting the planet. Good on them I say. They deserve to have soild gold cars, private islands, build ski slopes in the arabian desert and blow millions of pounds on sporting teams.
If someone tries to make money out of saving lives they are obviously scum.
Let's get this right. The developer of arguably the most successful vaccine in the world made $339, 236 in a week. That's about £250k. Or about half of what Ronaldo earns at Man Utd.
Thick as pig sh1t some of you on here mind. | | | |

They put huge amounts of money in at a risk to themselves. That money provides jobs and resources for the big brains of the world to work their magic and create these magnificent vaccines that work so brilliantly well. Without that investment in the first place none of these medicines would be possible. So it’s fair for them to receive a return on their investment. | | | |

So, it is OK to create, produce and distribute material that kills people in the thousands, even when you know it does.
OK. | | | |

I am glad you mentioned Vitamin D, add another positive study to the 56 other studies on Vitamin D treatment for COVID.

No. But people do.
I like a beer or two myself, I've probably contributed to the molsson colors dividends even though their products harm lives.
I drive my car and contribute to the lovely Saudi regime and their human rights abuse.
Probably half the presents santa brings my daughter tomorrow will be made in China. They're a nice bunch too.
The vaccines have saved countless lives. Their developers deserve to be rewarded. | | | |

What about Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and Google, people who invested a reasonable amount in them when they first came about would now be millionaires…. Jammy bastards. |  | | |

But none of them are killing their customers as far as we know. | | | |
