Which pharmaceutical company holds the patent for the flu vaccine?

I have been trying to track down which big pharm the missing CDC guy might be afraid of.

[null and void]

I doubt flu vaccines are patented. It takes years and tens of thousands of dollars for a company to get a patent.

This year’s flu vaccine is useless against next year’s flu.

We’re well into trade secret territory here.

[bgill]

Is Eli Lilly one of the suppliers?

[null and void]

Yeah. I just double pinged C.D.C. Employee Is Missing Nearly Two Weeks After Leaving Work Sick

Not a comfortable feeling to be able to ping both the N-JCT and the Ebola/emerging diseases ping lists.

[trebb]

Probably more a licensing deal rather than patent(s)

[null and void]

It doesn't look like Eli Lilly is one of the manufacturers this year:

From Press Release dated 7/20/2017 linked here, http://www.seqirus.com/newsroom/Seqirus-Begins-Shipping-2017-2018-Influenza-Vaccines-to-the-US-Market

“As the only global vaccine company solely dedicated to the prevention of influenza, Seqirus is committed to providing the broadest range of influenza vaccine options as early as possible to healthcare providers and their patients. We are pleased to build on our track record of early and reliable supply by being one of the first influenza vaccine manufacturers to ship product to the US market during this influenza season,” said Brent MacGregor, Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations at Seqirus.”

Hmmm perhaps one of the first to get it wrong “being one of the first influenza vaccine manufacturers to ship product to the US market during this influenza season”

Eli Lilly does not appear to be on this year's list:

Amen.

Anyone who takes a flu shot is horribly uneducated on the subject and the goals of the globalists who want us under their control, and also want to thin the herd.

[Jim Noble]

Eli Lilly is a worldwide supplier, so even if they are not distributing in the USA they may be providing vaccine elsewhere.

That having been said, most of the big drug houses are focused on making drugs that either you have to take every day for the rest of your life, or, biologics that are miraculous but so expensive that the government will wind up paying for them.

The holy grail for all drug companies, of course, is Pink Viagra.

[aimhigh]

In a clinical trial, Japanese and American patients who took the drug when they had the flu saw the virus wiped out, on average, in 24 hours."

Good luck getting into a doctor in less then 3 days.

[Vaquero]

Ya know. Back in the 50s they gave me polio shots and a smallpox vaccine. And these were a necessary thing considering one could become paralyzed. Have horrible pockmarks or die from these.

I’ve gotten the flu at various times. Got miserably sick. But survived fairly unscathed. But the flue shot gave me a chronic form of GB that I’ve been fighting for 19 years.

As far as a globalist plot? Maybe. Who knows. Those people never confide in me.

[bgill]

Thank you.

Ok, so wonder which health dept. or CDC head honcho has stock in these. Or Clinton.

The missing CDC guy is disconcerting.

[bgill]

Thank you.

• GlaxoSmithKline
• ID Biomedical Corp. of Quebec
• Sanofi Pasteur
• Protein Sciences
• MedImmune

[bgill]

Thank you. Knew I could count on FRiends to find out.

[azkathy]

Also noticed that the Seqirus vaccines have Mercury (from thimerosal) included in their ingredients for most of the vaccines they produce.

[Bulwyf]

I spend a lot of time looking at these things and I doubt many on FR even know the extent to which they conspire against us.

What’s GB by the way?

“About Us
In July 2015, bioCSL and the influenza vaccines of Novartis joined forces to create Seqirus, now the SECOND LARGEST influenza vaccine company in the world.”
