21stcenturywire--2020-12-30--COVID: ‘Every Scary Thing You’re Being Told Depends on the Unreliable PCR Test’

Since the COVID-19 crisis began , all of the WHO and Government so-called ‘ mitigation ’ policies – lockdowns , social distancing , masks , shutting schools etc , have all been based on data of coronavirus “ cases ” gathered from the increasingly dubious PCR Test .
Despite its many fundamental flaws – and even an warning by its inventor , Nobel Prize winner Kerry Mullis , who explicitly said not to use his test as a diagnostic for any virus – governments , the medical establishment , and even Dr Anthony Fauci himself , have chosen to base @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on this highly inaccurate testing regime .
The following video presentation is a summary of the pitfalls of the PCR Test and why no responsible medical professional or public health official should be treating it as a legitimate medical diagnostic tool , but rather only , as Mullis himself instructed , as an auxiliary ‘ research aid ’ .

Since the COVID-19 crisis began, all of the WHO and Government sanctioned so-called ‘mitigation’ policies – lockdowns, social distancing, masks, shutting schools etc. – have all been based on data of coronavirus “cases” gathered from the increasingly dubious PCR Test. Despite its many fundamental flaws – and even with a stark warning by its inventor, Nobel Prize winner Kary Mullis who explicitly said not to use his test as a diagnostic for any virus – governments and the medical establishment have gone ahead to misuse the technology – and with devastating results for societies and people in lockdown all over the world. The problem of running a high Cycle Threshold (CT) count was even admitted by Dr Anthony Fauci himself, and yet, they have all chosen to base their entire COVID ‘pandemic’ narrative on this highly inaccurate testing regime.

RELATED INFORMATION:
An essential problem that many PCR tests have is called the “cycle quantification” (Cq), also know as the “cycle threshold” (Ct), these two different terms are explained here:
https://archive.is/R0QgM
The Cq/Ct value specifies how many cycles of DNA replication are required to detect a real signal from biological samples. As it says in the MIQE guidelines (https://bit.ly/2T5Wpm2) “Cq values higher than 40 are suspect because of the implied low efficiency and generally should not be reported.”
MIQE stands for “Minimum Information for Publication of Quantitative Real-Time PCR Experiments”, a set of guidelines that describe the minimum information necessary for evaluating publications on Real-Time PCR, also called quantitative PCR, or qPCR.
The inventor of the PCR test himself, Kary Banks Mullis, agreed, when he stated: “If you have to go more than 40 cycles to amplify a single-copy gene, there is something seriously wrong with your PCR.” Source for the above quote: https://bit.ly/346XeRY
The MIQE guidelines have been developed under the guidance of Stephen A. Bustin, Professor of Molecular Medicine, a world-renowned expert on quantitative PCR and author of the book A-Z of Quantitative PCR which has been called “the bible of qPCR (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Bustin). According to Bustin, a Cq in the 20s to 30s should be aimed at and there is concern regarding the reliability of the results for any Cq over 35. If the Cq value gets too high, it becomes difficult to distinguish real signal from background, for example due to reactions of primers and fluorescent probes, and hence there is a higher probability of false positives.
PCR Test unable to distinguish between signals from dead or live viruses: “Molecular techniques based on real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) allow the detection and quantification of DNA but are unable to distinguish between signals from dead or live cells.”

21stcenturywire--2020-12-29--France Accused of Hysteria Over ‘COVID Variant’ After Nearly 15,000 Truckers Tested Negative

Before Christmas , sensational reports of a new COVID “ variant ” in the UK prompted European neighbors France , Netherlands and Belgium – to close their international borders for fear of a dangerous new viral wave .
As a result , ferries were unable to leave the Port of Dover until Christmas morning , with some 6,000 hauliers remaining in Kent over the subsequent days , and with many spending Christmas Day and Boxing Day parked , waiting to cross the English Channel .
What was all the fuss about ?
Is there really a new “ mutant strain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ claims is still ravaging through the British Isles ?
As part of this bio-security theatre , military personnel were then deployed to Kent , including a massive cohort of 1100 British troops , 30 French firefighters , and 60 Polish soldiers – all to supposedly to provide aid and services to the drivers , and to “ speed up testing to 600 per hour ” carried out at nearby Manston airfield .
As it turns out , all of this was completely unnecessary .
UK Transport Secretary Grant Shapps tweeted : “ Update @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Coronavirus tests now carried out .
Just 36 positive results , which are being verified ( 0.23 % ) .
Manston now empty and lorries should no longer head there please.
” What the Government and Mainstream Media will not tell the public is that if the highly dubious PCR Testing was used , then that tiny reported number of 36 ‘ positive cases ’ could have easily fallen within the margin of false positive errors – meaning all 15,000 plus drivers may have been ‘ COVID free ’ – an incredible but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ proving that the virus is likely to be severely over-hyped right now in the UK .
Certainly , not “ 70 % more transmissible ” as the government and media so recklessly claimed it was .
As 21WIRE already reported last week , Hancock ’ s claims of a new ‘ more dangerous and more transmissible ’ virus were totally unfounded and based on sloppy science from the UK government ’ s NERVTAG science advisory committee .
Because of the near nonexistent COVID cases within this giant trucker sample , critics are now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for panicking and closing their borders based on irrational fear of an non-existent “ mutant strain ” of COVID-19 .
But the UK authorities have no business pointing the finger at anyone… .
The French authorities slapped restrictions on hauliers crossing the Channel following the [ alleged ] emergence of the VUi202012/01 coronavirus mutation which is believed to spread faster than other strains .
The UK and France agreed to a testing regime to allow trucks to start flowing again on the Dover-Calais link .

21stcenturywire--2020-12-31--COVID-19: The Emergence of the Pandemic Industrial Complex

If official numbers are to be believed , the United States is one of the worst hit countries in terms of COVID-19 infections and deaths .
According to the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) , at the time of writing , there are supposedly 19 million COVID-19 cases with an alleged 300,000+ deaths suggesting between a 1-2 % chance of dying from COVID-19 if infected by it .
However , these numbers are problematic – even before questioning the validity of the statistics themselves leading to them .
For example – asymptomatic cases will likely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ many more people are actually being infected by COVID-19 , exhibiting no symptoms , receiving no treatment , and most certainly not making it into the CDC ’ s “ cases ” statistics .
This means that your chances of being infected by COVID-19 and dying are actually much , much less than the often touted claim of 1-2 % .
Only those who exhibit severe enough symptoms to be tested and/or treated will make it into the statistics of “ cases.
” In terms of framing any pandemic , an exaggeration of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fundamental issue .
If this information by itself is carelessly or dishonestly presented to the public without mention of the many more people likely being infected and exhibiting no symptoms at all , panic can , and clearly has been spread across society and the world , enabling extreme policies to glide through approval , beginning the process of disfigurement society now suffers today .
This was a fact highlighted by the work of Dr. John Ioannidis who , even at the onset of COVID-19 , attempted to raise the alarm about needlessly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ driving public health policy without proper data , and the catastrophic impact it would have – and is now clearly having – on society if this trend isn ’ t reversed .
A video interview conducted by Journeyman Pictures from April 2020 noted Dr. Ioannidis ’ breakdown of data and the results of his own studies conducted to illustrate exactly this .
His study included widespread serological ( antibody ) testing in Santa Clara County , California to see how many individuals may have been infected by COVID-19 but simply never exhibited symptoms @ @ @ @ @ @ @ medical attention and be tested for COVID-19 .
“ If you compare the numbers that we estimate to have been infected , which vary from 48,000-81,000 , versus the number of documented cases that would correspond to the same time horizon around April 1st , when we had 956 cases documented in Santa Clara County , we realize that the number of infected people is somewhere between 50 and 85 times more compared to what we thought , compared to what had been documented .
Immediately , that means that the infection fatality @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the probability of dying , if you are infected , diminishes by 50-85 fold , because the denominator in the calculation becomes 50-85 fold bigger .
If you take these numbers into account , they suggest that the infection fatality rate for this new coronavirus is likely to be in the same ballpark as seasonal influenza.
” Dr. Ioannidis also noted that there was a large gradient regarding death rates based on age and underlying medical conditions , with the risk of death for people under 65 with no underlying medical conditions being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ testing to fully establish mature datasets – as Dr. Ioannidis and his team at Stanford illustrated – and efforts to communicate to the public the difference between the infection fatality ratio ( IFR ) and the case fatality ratio ( CFR ) , have been neglected by Western governments and even more so by the Western corporate media .
In some cases , efforts appear to be being made to deliberately obfuscate or confuse this crucial information in order to continue stoking panic and hysteria .
But in addition to this , there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the West – have been caught using dubious or disorganized methods to tally COVID-19 deaths – meaning that both IFR and CFR numbers could be easily skewed .
For example , British state-funded media outlet , the BBC in an August 2020 article titled , “ Coronavirus : England death count review reduces UK toll by 5,000 , ” would admit : A review of how deaths from coronavirus are counted in England has reduced the UK death toll by more than 5,000 , to 41,329 , the government has announced .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ new methodology for counting deaths means the total number of people in the UK who have died from Covid-19 comes down from 46,706 to 41,329 – a reduction of 12 % .
The article revealed that Public Health England had “ included everyone who had tested positive [ for COVID-19 ] , even if they died months afterwards and their death may have had another cause.
” Similar statistical gymnastics are being performed in the US .
Even the New York Times raised the issue fairly early on in article , “ Is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s Why Experts Say No , ” clearly inferring that there may be a problem with the official methodology , and went on to explain throughout the article how it is impossible to ever know since accurate counts – or even accurate systems to use in counting – may not presently exist in the US .
In other words : the current systems are less than perfect and vulnerable to systemic distortions in the presentation of data .
Again , this is a fundamental issue when public health policy is based on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Based on what were clearly misused and incomplete statistics , the US , the UK , and much of Western Europe have led the world in stoking unprecedented hysteria , enforcing travel restrictions and lockdowns , including the closing of businesses and schools , and grinding the economies of the world to a halt either directly or indirectly – in a manner similar to but with an impact much greater than the US-led global “ War on Terror ” starting in 2001 .
RELATED : UK ‘ Variant Fears ’ Are Over-Hyped Says @ @ @ @ @ @ @ organizations ” like the World Health Organization ( WHO ) using its UN-affiliated platform to declare a “ global pandemic , ” along with Western governments and the corporations that dominate foreign and domestic policy , has created a global crisis – not in terms of human health , but in terms of socioeconomics .
Businesses are closed – not because those who regularly run or patronize them are in hospital beds or dead – but by order of governments , and with official policy backing from organizations like the WHO .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in this – not only repeating narratives provided by governments and healthcare institutions uncritically , but refusing to fulfill their role as watchdogs and investigators searching out impropriety .
It is a state of hysteria that is crippling small and medium-sized businesses ( SME ) , but a boon to big-business .
Headlines from papers like the Wall Street Journal admit , “ Big Tech Companies Reap Gains as Covid-19 Fuels Shift in Demand , ” or as the Guardian reported , “ Amazon third-quarter earnings soar as pandemic sales triple profits , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are profiting from the hysteria .
Moreover , the Guardian report , “ The mystery of which US businesses are profiting from the coronavirus bailout , ” reveals how struggling big-businesses are being bailed out by government money – while the SME sector , the real pulse of any vibrant economy and society – is being left behind .
But there is one industry who stands out above all others to benefit , an industry notorious for its deeply rooted corruption , and an industry that has already been caught using its ties @ @ @ @ @ @ @ declare pandemics , stoke hysteria , and profit handsomely from the resulting chaos .
At no time in human history has it been more powerful and influential than it is now .
And at no other time in human history has it been so dangerous .
Western big-pharma ’ s profiteering and corruption under ordinary circumstances is already shocking .
The current climate of public confusion , panic , and growing socioeconomic desperation only invites the industry ’ s impropriety to new levels .
Pharmaceutical corporations like Pfizer , Johnson & Johnson , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ billions of dollars directly or indirectly from taxpayers to develop COVID-19 vaccines – have long , documented histories of corruption , including bribing regulators , doctors , and governments .
They have also been caught falsifying safety and efficacy data .
They have promoted the use of their products for patients in cases not approved of by regulators , including on children .
They have even been caught knowingly selling products they knew were dangerous or even deadly – withholding critical information from both regulators and the public .
Pfizer alone – as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ – was under investigation this year , according to its own Security Exchange Commission ( SEC ) filing , for its Greenstone generics business over antitrust concerns , for manufacturing issues regarding Quillivant XR , regarding quality issues over the manufacturing of auto-injectors , over corruption inquiries regarding its Russian and Chinese operations , and in regards to lawsuits in Mexico over the manufacturing of Zantac and a cancer-causing chemical called N-Nitrosodimethylamine ( NDMA ) found in the product .
The investigation regarding Zantac finally prompted the US Food and Drug Administration ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the drug – to request it be pulled from the market after finding it is indeed linked to an increased likelihood of causing cancer .
The Wall Street Journal in a 2020 article titled , “ Pfizer Receives Inquiry From SEC Bribery Unit , ” would note of Pfizer ’ s past scandals that : Pfizer has had past run-ins with U.S. authorities over allegations of bribery among its operations abroad .
The company in 2012 agreed to pay $ 60.2 million to settle investigations by the SEC and the Justice Department into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ countries in Europe and Asia , including China and Russia .
The US Department of Justice in its own statement regarding part of the 2012 payout by Pfizer would note : According to court documents , Pfizer H.C.P .
made a broad range of improper payments to numerous government officials in Bulgaria , Croatia , Kazakhstan and Russia – including hospital administrators , members of regulatory and purchasing committees and other health care professionals – and sought to improperly influence government decisions in these countries regarding the approval and registration of Pfizer Inc. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the level of sales of Pfizer Inc. products .
According to court documents , Pfizer H.C.P .
used numerous mechanisms to improperly influence government officials , including sham consulting contracts , an exclusive distributorship and improper travel and cash payments .
Such bribery might help explain why Pfizer and other pharmaceutical corporations are able to sell dangerous products like cancer-causing Zantac or – in the case of fellow COVID-19 vaccine producer Johnson and Johnson – cancer-causing baby powder – for years before mounting lawsuits and public outrage spur regulators to finally do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lawsuits alleging that its talc caused cancer , J & J insists on the safety and purity of its iconic product .
But internal documents examined by Reuters show that the company ’ s powder was sometimes tainted with carcinogenic asbestos and that J & J kept that information from regulators and the public .
What this illustrates is a consistent pattern of corruption stretching across Pfizer ’ s ( and Johnson & Johnson ’ s ) manufacturing process to their business practices and spanning years .
It is an entire industry that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ repeatedly investigated and fined , but allowed to not only continue conducting business – but is still entrusted with matters critical to public healthcare .
The implications it has for the process of developing , approving , producing , and distributing vaccines for COVID-19 should be obvious .
Despite the immense amount of publicly-known corruption engaged in by the Western pharmaceutical industry and the obviously troubling implications it has for the current COVID-19 vaccine rollout – it is only one dimension of a much wider problem .
There is also the Western pharmaceutical @ @ @ @ @ @ @ public scares to attract massive government contracts and wield power and influence over public discourse regarding human healthcare issues .
The same large corporate media outlets today helping fuel public hysteria regarding COVID-19 and promoting big-pharma ’ s vaccine rollout had previously reported on past instances of big-pharma crying “ pandemic , ” using its influence over international organizations like the WHO , and securing massive government contracts worth billions of dollars for unnecessary and ineffective medication and vaccines .
Think back to 2009 and the H1N1 “ Swine Flu ” scare .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ of a “ global pandemic , ” the headlines and articles from the mainstream Western media read almost identical to those being circulated today regarding COVID-19 .
Seven months into the flu pandemic of 2009 , North America leads the world in cases , the WHO says .
Unlike elsewhere , the new H1N1 never exited stage left after its debut appearance in late April .
In fact , it ’ s making more noise than ever .
Mexico has experienced more cases of pandemic flu since September than it did over the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spring .
The ratcheting up of hysteria continued both from the WHO and across the Western media , accompanied by drives to fund vaccine development and stockpile medication like Roche ’ s Tamiflu .
The UK Daily Mail in a 2009 article titled , “ Tamiflu : What you MUST know as swine flu threatens to strike , ” would claim : The Government has announced that stocks of drugs – known as antivirals – to fight the imminent threat of a swine flu pandemic are being built up to cover more than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the country ’ s population .
But as hysteria faded , the truth emerged .

21st Century Wire
If official numbers are to be believed, the United States is one of the worst hit countries in terms of COVID-19 infections and deaths. According to the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), at the time of writing, there are supposedly 19 million COVID-19 cases with an alleged 300,000+ deaths suggesting between a 1-2% chance of dying from COVID-19 if infected by it.
However, these numbers are problematic – even before questioning the validity of the statistics themselves leading to them.
For example – asymptomatic cases will likely go both untested and unreported, meaning many more people are actually being infected by COVID-19, exhibiting no symptoms, receiving no treatment, and most certainly not making it into the CDC’s “cases” statistics.
This means that your chances of being infected by COVID-19 and dying are actually much, much less than the often touted claim of 1-2%. Only those who exhibit severe enough symptoms to be tested and/or treated will make it into the statistics of “cases.”
In terms of framing any pandemic, an exaggeration of the lethality of the virus becomes a fundamental issue. If this information by itself is carelessly or dishonestly presented to the public without mention of the many more people likely being infected and exhibiting no symptoms at all, panic can, and clearly has been spread across society and the world, enabling extreme policies to glide through approval, beginning the process of disfigurement society now suffers today.
This was a fact highlighted by the work of Dr. John Ioannidis who, even at the onset of COVID-19, attempted to raise the alarm about needlessly stoking public hysteria, the folly of driving public health policy without proper data, and the catastrophic impact it would have – and is now clearly having – on society if this trend isn’t reversed.
A video interview conducted by Journeyman Pictures from April 2020 noted Dr. Ioannidis’ breakdown of data and the results of his own studies conducted to illustrate exactly this. His study included widespread serological (antibody) testing in Santa Clara County, California to see how many individuals may have been infected by COVID-19 but simply never exhibited symptoms, or symptoms serious enough to seek medical attention and be tested for COVID-19.
Dr. Ioannidis would note:
“If you compare the numbers that we estimate to have been infected, which vary from 48,000-81,000, versus the number of documented cases that would correspond to the same time horizon around April 1st, when we had 956 cases documented in Santa Clara County, we realize that the number of infected people is somewhere between 50 and 85 times more compared to what we thought, compared to what had been documented. Immediately, that means that the infection fatality rate, the chance of dying, the probability of dying, if you are infected, diminishes by 50-85 fold, because the denominator in the calculation becomes 50-85 fold bigger. If you take these numbers into account, they suggest that the infection fatality rate for this new coronavirus is likely to be in the same ballpark as seasonal influenza.”
Dr. Ioannidis also noted that there was a large gradient regarding death rates based on age and underlying medical conditions, with the risk of death for people under 65 with no underlying medical conditions being virtually negligible.
The need for wider testing to fully establish mature datasets – as Dr. Ioannidis and his team at Stanford illustrated – and efforts to communicate to the public the difference between the infection fatality ratio (IFR) and the case fatality ratio (CFR), have been neglected by Western governments and even more so by the Western corporate media. In some cases, efforts appear to be being made to deliberately obfuscate or confuse this crucial information in order to continue stoking panic and hysteria.
But in addition to this, there is the fact that governments – particularly in the West – have been caught using dubious or disorganized methods to tally COVID-19 deaths – meaning that both IFR and CFR numbers could be easily skewed.
For example, British state-funded media outlet, the BBC in an August 2020 article titled, “Coronavirus: England death count review reduces UK toll by 5,000,” would admit:
A review of how deaths from coronavirus are counted in England has reduced the UK death toll by more than 5,000, to 41,329, the government has announced.
The article also noted that:
The new methodology for counting deaths means the total number of people in the UK who have died from Covid-19 comes down from 46,706 to 41,329 – a reduction of 12%.
The article revealed that Public Health England had “included everyone who had tested positive [for COVID-19], even if they died months afterwards and their death may have had another cause.”
Similar statistical gymnastics are being performed in the US. Even the New York Times raised the issue fairly early on in article, “Is the Coronavirus Death Tally Inflated? Here’s Why Experts Say No,” clearly inferring that there may be a problem with the official methodology, and went on to explain throughout the article how it is impossible to ever know since accurate counts – or even accurate systems to use in counting – may not presently exist in the US.
In other words: the current systems are less than perfect and vulnerable to systemic distortions in the presentation of data. Again, this is a fundamental issue when public health policy is based on the perceived severity of the epidemic.
The Real Impact of COVID-19
Based on what were clearly misused and incomplete statistics, the US, the UK, and much of Western Europe have led the world in stoking unprecedented hysteria, enforcing travel restrictions and lockdowns, including the closing of businesses and schools, and grinding the economies of the world to a halt either directly or indirectly – in a manner similar to but with an impact much greater than the US-led global “War on Terror” starting in 2001.
RELATED: UK ‘Variant Fears’ Are Over-Hyped Says Leading US Microbiologist
Pressure from “international organizations” like the World Health Organization (WHO) using its UN-affiliated platform to declare a “global pandemic,” along with Western governments and the corporations that dominate foreign and domestic policy, has created a global crisis – not in terms of human health, but in terms of socioeconomics.
Businesses are closed – not because those who regularly run or patronize them are in hospital beds or dead – but by order of governments, and with official policy backing from organizations like the WHO.
The mainstream media has played a key role in this – not only repeating narratives provided by governments and healthcare institutions uncritically, but refusing to fulfill their role as watchdogs and investigators searching out impropriety.
It is a state of hysteria that is crippling small and medium-sized businesses (SME), but a boon to big-business.
Headlines from papers like the Wall Street Journal admit, “Big Tech Companies Reap Gains as Covid-19 Fuels Shift in Demand,” or as the Guardian reported, “Amazon third-quarter earnings soar as pandemic sales triple profits,” make it clear that some big-businesses are profiting from the hysteria.
Moreover, the Guardian report, “The mystery of which US businesses are profiting from the coronavirus bailout,” reveals how struggling big-businesses are being bailed out by government money – while the SME sector, the real pulse of any vibrant economy and society – is being left behind.
But there is one industry who stands out above all others to benefit, an industry notorious for its deeply rooted corruption, and an industry that has already been caught using its ties with international organizations like the WHO to declare pandemics, stoke hysteria, and profit handsomely from the resulting chaos.
It’s the West’s pharmaceutical industry.
At no time in human history has it been more powerful and influential than it is now. And at no other time in human history has it been so dangerous.
Big-Pharma: The Least Trustworthy Pandemic Partner
Western Big-Pharma’s profiteering and corruption under ordinary circumstances is already shocking. The current climate of public confusion, panic, and growing socioeconomic desperation only invites the industry’s impropriety to new levels.
Pharmaceutical corporations like Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca, and Moderna – having received billions of dollars directly or indirectly from taxpayers to develop COVID-19 vaccines – have long, documented histories of corruption, including bribing regulators, doctors, and governments.
They have also been caught falsifying safety and efficacy data. They have promoted the use of their products for patients in cases not approved of by regulators, including on children.
They have even been caught knowingly selling products they knew were dangerous or even deadly – withholding critical information from both regulators and the public.
Pfizer alone – as its COVID-19 vaccine began rolling out publicly – was under investigation this year, according to its own Security Exchange Commission (SEC) filing, for its Greenstone generics business over antitrust concerns, for manufacturing issues regarding Quillivant XR, regarding quality issues over the manufacturing of auto-injectors, over corruption inquiries regarding its Russian and Chinese operations, and in regards to lawsuits in Mexico over the manufacturing of Zantac and a cancer-causing chemical called N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) found in the product.
The investigation regarding Zantac finally prompted the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) – who had originally approved the drug – to request it be pulled from the market after finding it is indeed linked to an increased likelihood of causing cancer.
The Wall Street Journal in a 2020 article titled, “Pfizer Receives Inquiry From SEC Bribery Unit,” would note of Pfizer’s past scandals that:
Pfizer has had past run-ins with U.S. authorities over allegations of bribery among its operations abroad. The company in 2012 agreed to pay $60.2 million to settle investigations by the SEC and the Justice Department into alleged violations of the FCPA in several countries in Europe and Asia, including China and Russia.
The US Department of Justice in its own statement regarding part of the 2012 payout by Pfizer would note:
According to court documents, Pfizer H.C.P. made a broad range of improper payments to numerous government officials in Bulgaria, Croatia, Kazakhstan and Russia – including hospital administrators, members of regulatory and purchasing committees and other health care professionals – and sought to improperly influence government decisions in these countries regarding the approval and registration of Pfizer Inc. products, the award of pharmaceutical tenders and the level of sales of Pfizer Inc. products. According to court documents, Pfizer H.C.P. used numerous mechanisms to improperly influence government officials, including sham consulting contracts, an exclusive distributorship and improper travel and cash payments.
Such bribery might help explain why Pfizer and other pharmaceutical corporations are able to sell dangerous products like cancer-causing Zantac or – in the case of fellow COVID-19 vaccine producer Johnson and Johnson – cancer-causing baby powder – for years before mounting lawsuits and public outrage spur regulators to finally do their job properly.
In Johnson & Johnson’s case, a Reuters investigation would note (emphasis added):
Facing thousands of lawsuits alleging that its talc caused cancer, J&J insists on the safety and purity of its iconic product. But internal documents examined by Reuters show that the company’s powder was sometimes tainted with carcinogenic asbestos and that J&J kept that information from regulators and the public.
What this illustrates is a consistent pattern of corruption stretching across Pfizer’s (and Johnson & Johnson’s) manufacturing process to their business practices and spanning years. It is an entire industry that repeatedly engages in dangerous impropriety, is repeatedly investigated and fined, but allowed to not only continue conducting business – but is still entrusted with matters critical to public healthcare.
The implications it has for the process of developing, approving, producing, and distributing vaccines for COVID-19 should be obvious.
The 2009 H1N1 “Heist”
Despite the immense amount of publicly-known corruption engaged in by the Western pharmaceutical industry and the obviously troubling implications it has for the current COVID-19 vaccine rollout – it is only one dimension of a much wider problem.
There is also the Western pharmaceutical industry’s known history of creating public scares to attract massive government contracts and wield power and influence over public discourse regarding human healthcare issues.
The same large corporate media outlets today helping fuel public hysteria regarding COVID-19 and promoting big-pharma’s vaccine rollout had previously reported on past instances of big-pharma crying “pandemic,” using its influence over international organizations like the WHO, and securing massive government contracts worth billions of dollars for unnecessary and ineffective medication and vaccines.
Think back to 2009 and the H1N1 “Swine Flu” scare. Following the WHO’s dramatic declaration of a “global pandemic,” the headlines and articles from the mainstream Western media read almost identical to those being circulated today regarding COVID-19.
NPR in a 2009 article would claim:
Seven months into the flu pandemic of 2009, North America leads the world in cases, the WHO says.
Unlike elsewhere, the new H1N1 never exited stage left after its debut appearance in late April. In fact, it’s making more noise than ever. Mexico has experienced more cases of pandemic flu since September than it did over the first four months of the pandemic this spring.
The ratcheting up of hysteria continued both from the WHO and across the Western media, accompanied by drives to fund vaccine development and stockpile medication like Roche’s Tamiflu.
The UK Daily Mail in a 2009 article titled, “Tamiflu: What you MUST know as swine flu threatens to strike,” would claim:
The Government has announced that stocks of drugs – known as antivirals – to fight the imminent threat of a swine flu pandemic are being built up to cover more than 50million people – or 80 per cent of the country’s population.
But as hysteria faded, the truth emerged. Articles began to appear like this one from Reuters in 2014 titled, “Stockpiles of Roche Tamiflu drug are waste of money, review finds,” which noted:
Researchers who have fought for years to get full data on Roche’s flu medicine Tamiflu said on Thursday that governments who stockpile it are wasting billions of dollars on a drug whose effectiveness is in doubt.
The article also pointed out:
Tamiflu sales hit almost $3 billion in 2009 – mostly due to its use in the H1N1 flu pandemic – but they have since declined.
There were also Roche’s financial ties to WHO experts who designated the appearance of H1N1 as a “pandemic,” helping pave the way for the public hysteria required to fuel Roche’s profits from selling what was essentially a useless drug to government stockpiles.
The BBC in their 2010 article, “WHO swine flu experts ‘linked’ with drug companies,” would report:
Key scientists behind World Health Organization advice on stockpiling of pandemic flu drugs had financial ties with companies which stood to profit, an investigation has found.
Roche was mentioned by name by the BBC (emphasis added):
The advice prompted many countries around the world into buying up large stocks of Tamiflu, made by Roche, and Relenza manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline.
Despite these revelations post-H1N1 after 2009, the very same actors have taken the stage for a repeat performance in 2020 – with little to no alarm from the same media organizations who ignored the H1N1 “heist” in 2009 and reluctantly reported on it only long after the damage was done.
Big-Pharma’s Pandemic Industrial Complex
Over the past ten years – big pharma’s control over the WHO and its influence over both the media and Western governments has only grown.
Powerful organizations like the Wellcome Trust – which claims to be an “independent foundation” funded through an investment portfolio – counts several large pharmaceutical corporations – Novartis, Roche, Johnson & Johnson, and Abbott Labs – on their list of “significant directly held public equity holdings.”
Its governance includes representatives from the pharmaceutical industry, various Western governments, academia, the media, and of course the WHO itself.
It is an institutionalization of the conflicting interests that have tolerated, accommodated, even helped expand the unwarranted power, wealth, influence, and corruption of big pharma.
And while Wellcome Trust claims to be “independent” of corporate and government ties, alongside the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation – it has helped create another front organization called The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) – through which it accepts and disperses huge amounts of Western taxpayers’ money.
The work of CEPI directly impacts the business prospects of many of the corporations Wellcome Trust owns stocks in – with its investments paying off above average amid this most recent round of public hysteria and government spending on this latest declared pandemic.
International Publishers Limited in an article titled, “Wellcome Trust ‘prospers’ under COVID-19 fallout with 12.3% return,” would report:
Wellcome Trust’s portfolio has not just survived, but prospered, in the highly volatile environment following the COVID-19 outbreak, according to Eliza Manningham-Buller, the charity’s chair, introducing its annual report which unveiled a 12.3% return for the year to 30 September 2020, up on the 6.9% of the previous year.
The trust, which supports medical research worldwide, is the UK’s largest charity, with a £29.1bn (€31.9bn) portfolio at end-September 2020. Wellcome’s investments have returned an average 12.1% a year over the past decade.
It’s worth noting that back in March, both Wellcome and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation provided $125 million in “seed funding” to accelerate certain pharmaceutical products claiming to treat COVID-19, including Gilead Science’s antiviral Remdesivir. Despite failing repeatedly in clinical trials, and after the National Institute of Health (NIH) was exposed attempting to rewrite the rules in their attempt to salvage the drug’s reputation as a viable therapeutic for COVID-19 – Remdedivir was continually hyped in the media by Bill Gates and NIH Director Anthony Fauci, and is still defended by the WHO to this day.
It’s also important to note that as of 2020, the number one funder of the World Health Organization is the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, who supplied the WHO with approximately $531 million in its 2018-19 biennial budget, roughly 12% of WHO’s total budget.
Unlike the H1N1 scare and multiple scandals that emerged out from behind the smokescreen of public hysteria deliberately created around it, the COVID-19 crisis has been sustained for now nearly a year with enduring regiments being put in place to condition and control the public – and to control the flow of information through traditional channels as well as online and particularly across US-based social media platforms, and direct public funding into the coffers of the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry.
At the same time, other major industries are either being spared the same regulations and restrictions strangling smaller businesses out of existence, or being bailed out by public funding.
It has gone from the “H1N1 Heist” of 2009 to what appears to be a “Pandemic Industrial Complex” taking shape today.
How far this goes in shaping – or more accurately – disfiguring society, is up to those people who can clearly see public and private sectors conspiring together and consisting of the least reliable partners for actually taking on a real pandemic and protecting the public from it – if that is truly what we are facing.
On one hand, even if we believe the statistics and claims being made on a daily basis by the mainstream media and government representatives, we can see for ourselves the corporations elected by the government to create the solutions claimed are needed to end the crisis, are guilty of serial abuses including the production and distribution of entirely unsafe products – products developed and “approved” of by government regulators under normal conditions that would go on to making people ill or even killing them.
But the COVID-19 vaccines being rolled out now aren’t even going through that process. They have instead been rushed through approval and unpredictable results and adverse effects are already emerging.
It harkens back to another chapter involving a novel virus – 1976’s Swine Flu – where vaccines were rushed into production and resulted in mounting adverse effects, particularly paralyzing Guillain-Barré syndrome in over 400 individuals. And these were only the cases that were reported, as the true total of those who suffered varying degrees of complications will never be fully known.
In 1976, the vaccination program was abandoned and the government’s response deemed a failure of historic proportions. But apparently the lessons learned then, or in 2009, have been lost entirely today – and in some cases – deliberately buried by a complicit media.
If COVID-19 is the crisis we are told it is – why isn’t there a greater demand for more trustworthy and transparent partners to work with to face it? These would be partners capable of acknowledging past mistakes and explaining how their plan today differs from those in the past.
But unfortunately, history has already taught us that pandemics can be declared – not because they actually exist and/or pose as grave a threat as government, media and corporate stakeholders claim – but because profits are to be made by big pharma, in connection with those in organizations like the WHO who have the unique power to declare pandemics, and perpetuate them regardless of the truth.
We watched for two decades as the West orchestrated an entirely false “War on Terror” around the globe, justifying actions as extreme as invasions, wars, and illegal occupations of other countries and the expenditure of trillions of dollars of taxpayers’ money.
Is it really that hard to imagine as possible, this formula being reworked atop the 2009 H1N1 scandals and pushed forward aggressively?

21stcenturywire--2020-01-31--UPDATE: Mystery Crash of US Air Force E-11A Military Plane in Afghanistan

The Bombardier E-11A typically carries a Battlefield Airborne Communications Node ( BACN ) , which is a communications relay and gateway system that enables real-time information flow across the battlespace between similar and dissimilar tactical data link and voice systems through relay , bridging , and data translation in line-of-sight and beyond-line-of-sight situations .

The US Forces in Afghanistan spokesperson Col. Sonny Leggett confirmed the operation , saying that the remains of two individuals were recovered , not revealing their identities .

Yesterday, US officials announced their successful reconnaissance mission to the crash site for USAF Bombardier E-11A spy plane recently downed over Taliban-controlled Ghazni province in Afghanistan.
U.S. military command in Kabul claim to have recovered the bodies of two U.S. service members on Tuesday of this week, from the site of an American surveillance plane crash in Taliban-controlled territory in Afghanistan. In addition, they have indicated that to the flight data recorder was also retrieved from the crash site, but that the plane’s remains were destroyed. The US say the cause of the crash is unknown and deny any Taliban involvement, stating that, “there are no indications the crash was caused by enemy fire.”
However, there seems to be much more to this story than the Pentagon is letting on. The trepidation we’re seeing could be for a number of obvious reasons, either strategic or political… SEE ALSO: The Mysterious Michael D’Andrea: Was CIA’s Iran Chief Really Shot Down Over Afghanistan?

US Navy Seals, reinforced by Afghan Security Forces recovered the remains of the crew who died when a US Air Force Bombardier E-11A crashed in the Taliban-controlled Ghazni province. The plane crashed on January 27th, and the US troops allegedly went there on January 28th, but the timeline is suspect.
The Bombardier E-11A is a electronic surveillance aircraft and is likely from the 430th Expeditionary Electronic Combat Squadron based out of Kandahar Airfield, which is located approximately 286 kilometers away from where it crashed. The Bombardier E-11A typically carries a Battlefield Airborne Communications Node (BACN), which is a communications relay and gateway system that enables real-time information flow across the battlespace between similar and dissimilar tactical data link and voice systems through relay, bridging, and data translation in line-of-sight and beyond-line-of-sight situations.
Ghazni police chief Khaled Wardak said US choppers landed at the site in the late afternoon on January 28th.
“Following the removal of the bodies, our forces have moved back to their bases. We don’t know where the foreigners have taken the bodies,” added Wardak.
Nasir Ahmad Faqiri, the head of the provincial council in Ghazni, confirmed the operation, saying the Americans took at least two bodies from the scene.
The US Forces in Afghanistan spokesperson Col. Sonny Leggett confirmed the operation, saying that the remains of two individuals were recovered, not revealing their identities.
“The remains were found near the crash site, treated with dignity and respect by the local Afghan community, in accordance with their culture,” said the statement from U.S. Forces-Afghanistan.
The Taliban were first to report the crash and have not claimed responsibility for crashing it. Media attributed it to them, but the US said that there was no indication of it being downed by enemy fire.
“The crash is under investigation, there are no indications the crash was caused by enemy fire. We will provide additional information as it becomes available,” said U.S. Army Colonel Sonny Leggett, a spokesman for U.S. Forces-Afghanistan on Twitter. “Taliban claims that additional aircraft have crashed are false.”
It is unclear, however, how the US forces entered the Taliban-controlled area unimpeded, after there were numerous photographs and footage of the group being deployed to the location of the crash. The US allegedly recovered the remains with helicopters, and it is also unclear how that happened, since the Taliban have, more than once, proven more than capable of dealing with enemy helicopters.
There are videos showing numerous military vehicles, and aircraft circling above en route to the crash site, as early as on January 27th, thus it is questionable that the Taliban simply packed up and left, allowing the US to recover the remains and black box.

After all, the Taliban have had the upper hand in the conflict in Afghanistan for a while now, and it is questionable that they simply abandoned an enemy military plane.
Since, according to the statement the black box was also recovered, and it is suspect that the Taliban were unaware of there being a black box on the Bombardier E-11A, similarly to there being one on most, if not all, manned aircraft.
“The force also recovered what is assessed to be the aircraft flight data recorder. The cause of the crash remains under investigation, however there are no indications the crash was caused by enemy fire. The remains were found near the crash site, treated with dignity and respect by the local Afghan community, in accordance with their culture. U.S. forces destroyed the remnants of the aircraft.” the statement added.
According to the statement, the entire crew of the plane was just the two whose remains were recovered.
Videos and photographs suggest that there have been victims, as there were charred remains, but most footage simply shows one corpse.
Furthermore, there are media reports that the downed plane was the mobile CIA command for Michael D’Andrea, head of The Central Intelligence Agency’s Iran Mission Center. And all of the equipment and documents were now allegedly in Taliban hands.
D’Andrea was a major figure in the search for Osama bin Laden, as well as the American drone strike targeted killing campaign. He was allegedly the one behind the drone strike that killed Iranian General Qassem Soleimani and was the most prominent figure of the CIA intelligence in the Middle East.
There is yet no confirmation, and it is likely that the names of the victims will be released at one point or another, after their families have been notified.
