I think it goes way beyond big Pharma. I think numerous industries have developed back doors into government and effectively set government policy based on what is most profitable for the corporations that have influence.
Eisenhower warned of the "Military Industrial Complex", but if you read that speech and other things he wrote, it becomes clear that he recognized the problem was far greater than just collusion between the Military and Industry.
Even Abraham Lincoln recognized the threat from collusion between Industry and government.
"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country.... corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed."
And Bro, what Lincoln said is exactly what i've been trying to tell you was happening in the Civil War. Note the "working upon the prejudices of the people"?
That's how they sell their manipulation for profit.
Blaming Covid on Lincoln now? You have truly lost your senses.
