Two weeks ago, the FDA begged a Texas judge to delay production on the first monthly batch of 55,000 pages of Covid-19 vaccine data submitted to the agency by Pfizer. Originally, the agency was set to produce just 500 pages-per-month.
Now, Pfizer - which just forecast $54 billion in Covid-related sales in 2022, appears to be anticipating some bad news, as evidenced by several redline changes in their Q4 earnings releases.
As Rubicon Capital's Kelly Brown notes on Twitter, the changes center around disclosures of unfavorable safety data.
For example, in Q4 they added: "or further information regarding the quality of pre-clinical, clinical or safety data, including by audit or inspection."
Class action lawsuit against Fauci, and everyone who got on TV that worked for the CDC, NIH and recommended the vaccines and called them "safe and effective." I can only dream, but having Fauci resign in shame, then arrested would be the nicest outcome to this pandemic!
I have no idea if the next surge will be caused by a descendant of Omicron, a descendant of Delta, or yet another out-of-the-blue descendant of the original. If the next one descends from Omicron and does not have a huge number of additional mutations, I can imagine that an Omicron-specific vaccine might be a closer match to it than the original vaccine. But it is all speculation at this point. I am not going to put my life on hold over it. I have (tentatively) decided against getting a fourth shot within 9-12 months of my third shot, simply because a strategy requiring too many shots for the general public is not sustainable.
All they need is for liberal state governments to mandate an Omicron vaccine or "you are fired". That should be good for another round of profits. Big Government and Big Pharma are hand in glove like White Sharks and Remora. We are the prey.
Drug companies are interesting because they bring out the socialist in the most staunch Libertarian and Conservative.
Drug companies are for profit but people get upset when they behave like a for profit company and take advantage of a situation. What Pzifer is doing is no different than what I see from Home Depot or Lowes during hurricane season in Florida. Magically all extension cords, large flash lights, and home generators become more expensive as spring turns into summer, every year just when you would need a generator in Florida.
If people have a problem with Pfizer then what you are really saying is you have a problem with capitalism's effect on healthcare. How socialist of you, sounds like AOC and Bernie Sanders.

Who are you talking about? Have a name?
Speaking for myself.
1. I’m not a conservative
2. I’m for companies making a profit but I’m against government agencies helping them.
We had big government upfront the costs of the vaccines before we’d know it would work, shield them from any and all liability, then launch a giant advertisement campaign on their behalf, and when that wasn’t enough tried to coerce people into taking them through immoral mandates. What’s more our regulatory bodies (FDA, CDC) looked aside and lied about adverse events and poor results of these vaccines. This is quite a bit more than Home Depot jacking the price of plywood during hurricane season.

Pharmaceuticals are only one small part of this, the grift stretches well beyond drug companies. Every company that made PPE and mask all raised their prices, oxygen supply companies raised prices, everyone who had the ability to profit from the pandemic raised prices mid-2020 and kept them there well after any shortages that existed were eliminated. People are being shortsighted in thinking pharmaceutical companies were the only ones in on the grift.
3M was a huge culprit, raised prices on adhesives, plastic gowns, n95 masks, surgical masks, tubing for IVs, and many other items used in healthcare just after the Pandemic hit in the US. 3M is so large that you would be hard-pressed to find disposable items in hospitals that are not from 3M or a company that uses 3M adhesives/plastics. 3M has bought up most of the competition so it's 3M or nothing for many items you need.
Think of it like this, for every Pzifer vaccine shot given there are needles, syringes, gloves, ETOH pads, cotton balls, etc all coming from 3M, 3M owned companies or materials from 3M (like adhesives for bandages) and they all raised prices together.
The US does not regulate grift by big corporations in a way that would sway them, even a fine would not equal 5% of the profits made by raising prices and price gouging.
