DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE: Follow the money FDA, Pfizer WEF, Durbin… just NO!

So honestly, do we want big pharma in all our business?

It just keeps happening, and all in the name of “looking out for our best interest.”

So NOT!

Is this what you call another case of emotional manipulation?

Did you know the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) wants to restrict access to natural herbs now. I’ve heard it rumored the reason is because big pharma might start losing money if people start taking care of their own health naturally.

Let’s get into it.

It was a bill that was introduced into congress back in April by U.S. Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL). The bill is called the Dietary Supplement Listing Act of 2022. It has not yet passed to the Senate, so it is still in the early stages. That means if enough people wake up about this topic the government could be stopped from censoring herbs now too.

The FDA has three categories: food, drugs, and cosmetics. Currently the FDA classifies herbs as a food. What this bill wants to do is reclassify herbs from food to drugs effectively having the power to limit and restrict the use of natural herbs and remedies that have been used hundreds of years before big pharma decided to take ownership of – well, just about everything from a financial standpoint.

If people can cure themselves naturally (and I am not saying in all cases this is advisable or possible) but if people stop overmedicating like is happening now, then some of these billions of dollars might not go into the wallets of the suits over at big pharma.

The bill imposes requirements on dietary supplements, including that a supplement must be registered with the Food and Drug Administration.

Doesn’t the government have its hand in enough of our business already?

Currently the FDA is not authorized to approve dietary supplements before it is marketed. This is because the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) to create a new regulatory framework for dietary supplements and under DSHEA, FDA does not have the authority to approve dietary supplements before they are marketed.

Hey Durbin, thanks for trying to insert yourself into my business, I think I can choose my own herbal supplements – thank you.

“FDA – and consumers – should know what dietary supplements are on the market and what ingredients are included in them,” Durbin said regarding this bill.

Translate that into the real piece to read in this legislation: “More than 75 percent of American adults use a dietary supplement. Over the last 27 years, annual dietary supplement sales increased from $4 billion to more than $50 billion.”

Can you say follow the money?

Uh yeah, as in that $50 billion is how much money big pharma is losing and they don’t like it. The Durbin-Braun bill is endorsed by the Council for Responsible Nutrition, Pew Charitable Trusts, Environment America and U.S. PIRG, and the American Medical Association, and U.S. Pharmacopeia.

I did a little search on U.S. Pharmacopeia just to get an idea of who is backing this and yep, the company does lobby, every year to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

But didn’t we already all know the lobbyists are really who is running the country anyway – based on campaign dollars?

Now, back at the ranch as they say here in Texas. Let’s talk about big pharma and money. And government.

Well, if reports I uncovered are accurate – feel free to do your own research – more than two-thirds of Congress cashed a pharma campaign check in 2020 (yes, the same year the pandemic shut down the world and a vaccine was introduced to the world that hit the ground running faster than you can say $47 billion). And that $47 billion – that is the amount Pfizer reportedly made in sales from the COVID-19 vaccine last year. This in turn made the vaccine one of the most lucrative products in history. And let’s not forget the vaccine market is in for a grand ‘ol profit again this year with the COVID-19 Paxlovid, an oral medication used as a treatment for COVID-19.

In fact, CNN reported in May of 2021 that the COVID-19 vaccine profits minted nine new big pharma billionaires.

I am reading now, some companies/country leaders, etc. want to apologize (I am all about love and light as everyone knows), but hey like in Canada and elsewhere public officials and leaders are apologizing to the many people who lost jobs and livelihoods because they refused to be convinced that the big vaccine push would really save your granny. So, then what – how do these people make up the losses to their citizens now.

And let us be reminded as well of the Pfizer executive who told a European Union Committee there was never any promise the vaccine would stop transmission.

I looked this claim up and found AP News was quick to fact check this one. I did a quick search (on Google and we talked about Google in last week’s column, but I just wanted to see what I would come up with). I wanted to know who owns the Associated Press. Google reported, “It is an American non-profit news media company. It is based in New York City. The AP is a non-profit cooperative owned by the newspapers, radio and television stations who share its news stories.”

Bingo, remember I shared details with you several weeks ago about the owners of major media outlets – yes, those same people who own everything else in the world.

No agenda here, she said with a smirk.

So, the AP report noted that the claim was Pfizer told the EU that it had not tested the ability of its COVID-19 vaccine to prevent transmission of the virus prior to it entering the market. The AP said its assessment was that this was not taken in context properly. Janine Small, who is the President of International Markets at Pfizer told the European Parliament that the company “did not know whether its COVID-19 vaccine prevented transmission of the virus before it entered the market in December 2020.” It stated that Pfizer never claimed to have studied this issue before the vaccine was released.

So, if that is the case then why was everyone told prior to getting jabbed that big spill about saving your granny.

Rob Roos, a Dutch member of the European Parliament was the one who asked the question and his summation was, “Get vaccinated for others was always a lie.”

Now Pfizer seems to be backpedaling because it is in deep trouble with the EU still up in arms about money spent, vaccines that were purchased in excess for no reason, and a remedy that according to Roos “For governments to infringe on them (fundamental rights), they need a massive amount of evidence to prove the necessity.”

Apparently not in this experiment. I mean after all we did see the world shut down in just about 24 hours (remember the news stations warned us in America of the impending shutdown kind of like they knew it already and had a playbook) and then came the trove of misinformation (or perhaps everyone “in the know” was just confused). Then came our “new reality” as in what is being called The Great Reset, drawn up by the World Economic Forum in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and launched in June 2020.

And if you don’t know about the World Economic Forum, then boy have I got a story for you.
