And all the failed medicine they kept promoting knowing very well they 1. did not help and 2. probably did a lot of harm. As to Moderna, they never made anything that worked. Why would they make something that works now?

they missed that cdc/fda were accomplices that allowed wretched design of experiment, no safety data and erroneous end points...

This is a lawyer's dream. There will/should be tons of class-action lawsuits around the world - Big Pharma, CDC, FDA, NIH, Fauci, Doctors, Nurses, Hospitals, Employers mandating the illegal injection of an unapproved substance, etc., etc., etc.

Or maybe there will just be one Nuremburg 2.0. I hope "I was just following orders" is not a valid defense.

Surely, there's no other ending for this shameful period in history.

The issue isn't if they learned their lesson or not, it's what lesson did they learn.

Unfortunately, the lesson they learned was to buy off more important people to keep from getting caught.

No company executives ever face prosecution or jail time in big pharma fraud cases. As Wall Street corporate felons are do not. Fines mean nothing to these criminals; prison time would.

It's a good thing Pfizer recognized the error of it's ways back then and has since steered towards the path of righteousness.

Oh, and pigs can fly.

Experts are now in agreement on the need for speedy trials and very harsh, medieval punishments meted out to pharma executives.

Paging Marcellus Wallace...

I mean, I expect contempt from them, generally. But is it too much to ask that they just don't spit in our faces? They already do it, into the food, behind our backs...

Fab find you cats are fab hunters! "The expert reports, unsealed Monday in a federal court in Boston, add to accusations that the pharmaceutical industry has controlled the flow of clinical research data, blurring the lines between science and marketing."

They probably felt a bit sad and hard done by back in 2008 and then they promoted these vet character and all was well, like the cattle he produced 'vaccines' for.

The difference being that 14 years ago we at least embraced the notion of concern, whereas today we're not even allowed to broach the subject for fear of retaliation.

We've come a long way, baby.

The lesson that Pfizer (and other Big Pharma) learned from history was to invest heavily in the mass media. That investment has so far paid big dividends.
