In a
November 9, 2021, interview with Atlantic Council CEO
Frederick Kempe, Pfizer chairman and CEO Albert Bourla
claimed "a small part of professionals" intentionally
circulate "misinformation... so that they will mislead
those that have concerns." Such medical professionals are
not just bad people, Bourla said, "they're criminals,
because they have literally cost millions of lives"

The
criminals' playbook includes the dictum to always blame the
other side for what they themselves are guilty of
-
Pfizer
has a long history of criminal activity. The company has
been sued in multiple venues over unethical drug testing,
illegal marketing practices, bribery in multiple countries,
environmental violations - including illegal dumping of PCBs
and other toxic waste - labor and worker safety violations
and more. It's also been criticized for price gouging that
threatens the lives of patients with chronic diseases such
as epilepsy
-
Between
2002 and 2010, Pfizer was fined $3 billion in criminal
convictions, civil penalties and jury awards, including a
$2.3 billion fine in 2009, the then-largest health care
fraud fine in American history. In 2011, Pfizer paid $14.5
million to settle charges of illegal marketing, and in 2014
they settled charges relating to unlawful marketing of the
kidney transplant drug Rapamune to the tune of $35 million.
None of it deterred future bad behavior

According to a whistleblower who worked on Pfizer's Phase 3 COVID jab trial in the fall of 2020, data were falsified,

In a November 9, 2021, interview with Atlantic Council CEO Frederick Kempe,
1 Pfizer chairman and CEO
Albert Bourla claimed,
"a small part
of professionals" intentionally circulate "misinformation... so
that they will mislead those that have concerns." 2
Such medical professionals, Bourla said, are not just bad people,
"they're criminals,
because they have literally cost millions of lives."
Bourla is one to talk, being the CEO of a company the name
of which is synonymous with corporate crime.
Bourla's comments were made on the same day Pfizer and its partner
BioNTech asked the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) to broaden its
authorization for booster shots to everyone over the age of 18.

Pot Calling the Kettle Black
I guess we can't be too surprised, though, as the primary defense
strategy people like Bourla have is to blame the opposition for
their own misdeeds.
He even claims the company is being targeted by
"dark organizations," meaning organizations that aren't transparent
about their funding.
This is precisely what the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH)
is, the fabrications 4 of which are being used to prop up the
official narrative that,
those who present evidence showing the COVID
shots are dangerous are domestic terrorists 5 out to worsen the
'pandemic' death toll...
No one knows who funds this group, but it has plenty of connections
to war hawks and Great Reset promoters - including the Atlantic
Council, to which Bourla is making these statements.
By way of its board members, the CCDH
can be linked to,
And Bourla wants us to believe Pfizer is under attack from dark
money groups?
Again, the playbook of these wolves includes the
dictum to always blame the other side for what they themselves are
guilty of.
More on the Atlantic Council
In August 2018, Facebook claimed an "influence campaign" by Russian
"bad actors" had been carried out on its platform leading up to the
2018 midterm elections.
However, it turned out these pages weren't
identified by Facebook. They came primarily from the Atlantic
Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab.
In her article, "Hysteria Over Newly Revealed Facebook 'Influence
Campaign' Doesn't Fit the Facts," 11 investigative reporter
Whitney
Webb took a deep-dive into this inane propaganda effort, pointing
out that:
"... despite the lawmakers' claims, Facebook has established no
links to the Russian government or even Russian nationals.
The only
'evidence' to back up the claim of Russian-involvement is
that one of the pages identified 'had an IRA [Internet Research
Agency, a Russian 'troll farm' named in a Mueller-probe indictment]
account as one of its admins for 'only seven minutes' and 'one of
the IRA accounts we disabled in 2017 shared a Facebook Event hosted
by' one of the pages.
Beyond the fact that accusations of Russian involvement are highly
politicized given the lack of current evidence, there is hardly any
indication that this 'influence campaign' was even influential at
all.
Indeed, most of the 'bad actor' pages and accounts had hardly any
followers, with most of them having no followers.
For instance, only
four of the 32 total social-media pages and accounts had more than
10 followers, with all other pages - i.e., the remaining 28 - having
between 10 and zero, according to Facebook's statements.
All of the Instagram accounts identified had zero followers and,
among those seven accounts, only one of them had made a single post
on the platform.
By Facebook's own admission, only four of the pages
named were even remotely significant in terms of followers and thus
'influence'."
Why do I mention this?
Because this is the same tactic used to frame
a small number of individuals with limited social media reach as
domestic terrorists, simply for sharing counter-narratives about
the COVID 'pandemic'.
False Allegations Used to Quench Freedom of Speech
According to the CCDH, 12 a dozen individuals, including me, were
responsible for 65% of all anti-vaccine content on social media and
should therefore be banned from all platforms.
Most social media
companies have since complied, deplatforming most of us.
This
despite a public denouncement of the CCDH's accusations by Monika Bickert, vice president
of Facebook content policy, who
stated that: 13
"… these 12 people are responsible for about just 0.05% of all views
of vaccine-related content on Facebook. This includes all
vaccine-related posts they've shared, whether true or false, as well
as URLs associated with these people.
The report 14 upon which the faulty narrative is based analyzed only
a narrow set of 483 pieces of content over six weeks from only 30
groups, some of which are as small as 2,500 users.
They are in no way representative of the hundreds of millions of
posts that people have shared about COVID-19 vaccines in the past
months on Facebook.
Further, there is no explanation for how the organization behind the
report identified the content they describe as 'anti-vax' or how
they chose the 30 groups they included in their analysis.
There is
no justification for their claim that their data constitute a 'representative sample'
of the content shared across our apps."
Information Warfare
Getting back to the Atlantic Council, Webb noted that: 15
"Facebook officially partnered with the Atlantic Council this past
May in order to tackle so-called 'fake news,' adding that the
hawkish think-tank would serve as its 'eyes and ears' in identifying
alleged foreign-influence operations ...
The Atlantic Council itself is led by a mix of retired military
officers, former politicians, and Western business elites.
And the
think-tank's financial sponsors include,
-
top U.S. defense
contractors
-
agencies aligned with Washington and the Pentagon
-
the
United Arab Emirates
-
major transnational corporations
-
the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)...
One can think of several reasons why such a group would be
interested in fomenting anti-Russian hysteria...
The Atlantic
Council's conflicts of interest are certainly worth keeping in
mind..."
The same must be said about the CCDH, and Pfizer too.
Both are
glaringly biased and in no position to judge what is misinformation
and what isn't. But then, this is war, after all. We're in an
information war, and the term "misinformation" is lobbed in lieu of
grenades.
Discernment and some basic wisdom is required to avoid
becoming a victim.
Fact checking organizations are another weapon designed and deployed
to control the narrative. They exist as gatekeepers to funnel
readers and viewers to the official narrative and away from anything
that might raise inconvenient questions.
The largest and most
influential fact checker is NewsGuard, which hands out
"trustworthiness" ratings to websites.
NewsGuard cofounder Louis Crovitz is a member of the Council on
Foreign relations - another Great Reset supporter - and primary
advisers include,
Tom Ridge,
former secretary of Homeland Security
Ret. Gen. Michael
Hayden, a former director of both the CIA and NSA 16
Knowing that, it makes it easier to understand how everyday people
who share information that veers from the official narrative can be
labeled and treated as a national security threat.
The COVID 'pandemic' is a militarized operation.
We're at war, and the
designated enemy (looking at it from the side that started this war
without telling anyone) are the citizens of the world who want to
hold on to their freedom and human rights.
Pfizer Has a Long History of Criminal Behavior
Pfizer is on the other side...
...the side that is seeking to install an
unelected technocratic regime based on the idea that we need a
global biosecurity, biosurveillance apparatus or we'll all die.
This is not a new position for them.
During the American Civil War,
which began in 1862, the need for massive amounts of painkillers and
antiseptics allowed Pfizer to flourish and expand during wartime.
17
Today, the manufactured "need" for COVID-19 vaccine is allowing
Pfizer to make out like a bandit yet again, and as I've already
stated, we are again at war, albeit an undeclared one.
To achieve that, Pfizer is willing to "blackmail" countries into
accepting its COVID shot terms, as reviewed in the Gravitas report
above - terms that make sure Pfizer always comes out on top.
A key term is,
no liability, which is understandable considering the
amount of harm Pfizer's COVID jab is causing...
Pfizer went so far as
to bully nations into putting up sovereign assets like military
bases as collateral to pay for any vaccine injury lawsuits that
might result from their COVID jab.
While that might not be illegal, it's unethical, and so is
researching on people without informed consent. Everyone who gets
these emergency use authorized injections are part of that research,
while simultaneously being prevented from seeing anything but
propaganda.
Without truthful and transparent disclosure of both risks and
benefits, there is no informed consent.
Pfizer is even experimenting
on children and pregnant women without informed consent, two
categories that historically have been off-limits for drug
experimentation.
Whistleblower Claims Data Were Falsified
According to a whistleblower who worked on Pfizer's Phase 3 COVID
jab trial in the fall of 2020,
data were falsified and patients were
unblinded...
Follow-up on reported
side effects also lagged behind. 18
This isn't the first time such unsavory have been levied against
Pfizer.
In 2014, Pfizer was ordered to pay $75 million to settle charges
relating to its unlawful testing of a new broad spectrum antibiotic
on critically ill Nigerian children.
As reported by The
Independent 19 at the time, Pfizer sent a team of doctors into
Nigeria in the midst of a meningitis epidemic.
For two weeks, the team set up right next to a medical station run
by Doctors Without Borders and began dispensing the experimental
drug, Trovan.
Of the 200 children picked, half got the experimental
drug and the other half the already licensed antibiotic Rocephin.
Eleven of the children treated by the Pfizer team died, and many
others suffered side effects such as brain damage and organ failure.
Pfizer denied wrongdoing.
According to the company, only five of the
children given Trovan died, compared to six who received Rocephin,
so their drug was not to blame.
The problem was they never told the parents that their children were
being given an experimental drug, let alone ask them if they wanted
their child to take part in the trial.
What's more, while Pfizer produced a permission letter from a
Nigerian ethics committee, the letter turned out to have been
backdated. The ethics committee itself wasn't set up until a year
after the trial had already taken place.
State Department cables also revealed Pfizer hired spies with a plan
to frame a Nigerian attorney general and get him to drop the
parents' lawsuit. 20
Pfizer even tried to avoid responsibility by
falsely accusing Doctors Without Borders of dispensing the
experimental drug. 21
An 'Habitual
Offender'
In his 2010 paper, 22 "Tough on Crime? Pfizer and the CIHR,"
Robert
G. Evans, Ph.D., Emeritus Professor at Vancouver School of
Economics, described Pfizer as,
"a 'habitual offender,'
persistently engaging in illegal and corrupt marketing
practices, bribing physicians and suppressing adverse trial
results."
Pfizer has been sued in multiple venues over unethical drug testing,
illegal marketing practices, 23 bribery in multiple countries,
24
environmental violations - including illegal dumping of PCBs and
other toxic waste 25 - labor and worker safety violations and
more. 26,27,28
It's also been criticized
for price gouging that threatens the lives of patients with chronic
diseases such as epilepsy. 29
Between 2002 and 2010 alone, Pfizer and its subsidiaries were fined
$3 billion in criminal convictions, civil penalties and jury awards.
This included $2.3 billion for the illegal marketing of the
arthritis drug, Bextra, levied in 2009. 30,31
It was the largest
health care fraud settlement in American history.
According to the Global Justice report, "The Horrible History of Big Pharma
- Why We Can't Leave Pharmaceutical Corporations in the
Driving Seat of the COVID-19 Response:" 32
"A whistleblower claimed that sales staff were incentivized to sell Bextra to doctors for conditions for which the drug wasn't approved
and at doses up to eight times those recommended.
'At Pfizer I was
expected to increase profits at all costs, even when sales meant
endangering lives. I couldn't do that,' he stated."
In 2011, Pfizer agreed to pay another $14.5 million to settle
federal charges of illegal marketing, 33 and in 2014 they settled
federal charges relating to improper marketing of the kidney
transplant drug Rapamune to the tune of $35 million. 34
None of those legal actions deterred future bad behavior.
To Pfizer,
paying fines to sweep illegalities under the rug has become part of
the cost of doing business, and they can afford it. While the fines
may sound extraordinary, they're tiny when compared to the company's
profits.
Pfizer was among the top 30 most profitable companies in the world
in 2020, with profits reaching $16 billion, and its COVID jab alone
is predicted to make $13 billion in 2021. 35
As noted by the law firm Matthews and Associates,
"the history of
Pfizer is rife with so much subterfuge and under-the-table dealing
that the company will need all the help it can get to promote
confidence in its hastily assembled COVID vaccine." 36
The key
strategy to boost confidence, unfortunately, is censorship.
What 'New Way of Life' Is Pfizer Promising?
The fastest way to get back to normal, Bourla claims in his
Atlantic
Council interview, is for everyone to get vaccinated...
Considering
how little things have changed despite massive vaccination rates, it
seems clear the globalists in charge of
The Great Reset - and Pfizer
is part of that pack - have no intention of allowing anything go
back to normal...
It won't matter how many comply, or how many times
we comply.
Australia is perhaps the clearest illustration of what the whole
world will face.
Even though a majority are
"vaccinated," their
freedoms have not been returned, and now they have to submit to
boosters or lose what semblance of freedom the initial round of
shots gave them.
The Australian government is confiscating and
blocking people's bank accounts, withholding unemployment benefits
and more - all in the name of "public health."
Bourla even indicates that there is no going back to the old normal
when he states,
"The only thing that
stands between the new way of life and the current way of life
is... hesitancy to vaccinations."
New way of life...
What does this "new way of life" look like?
It
looks like Australia.
It looks like Israel.
It looks like
Lithuania, 37
...where your "right" to frequent restaurants, stores,
shopping malls, beauty salons, libraries, banks, insurance agencies
and universities, and your "right" to inpatient medical care and
travel, all depend on your willingness to participate in a medical
experiment that can kill or disable you...
The "new way of life" Bourla is talking about involves repeatedly
playing lethal Russian Roulette just to "earn" the right to be part
of society.
No thank you. Bourla can keep his
"new way of life"...
