Those who once questioned “Big Pharma” are now asking no questions.

Yes

They also have stopped hating the FBI, endless wars, Free Trade, a permanent political class and $billionaires

Just a note, “Free Trade” is often not “fair trade”….

Today's American Left is resolutely and consistently corporatist. They love big corporations as allies and funding sources,

Merriam-Webster — “The meaning of CORPORATISM is the organization of a society into industrial and professional corporations serving as organs of political representation and exercising control over persons and activities within their jurisdiction.”

When lefttards scream from the mountaintops “tax the corporations more” what they really mean is tax the general population more, taking more money from individuals of all classes is their ultimate goal.

Notice they never mention big pharma in this, they just pass the taxes onto insurance companies and ultimately the consumer.

Haha, you forgot the IRS!! It is still strange to see the “peace, love, and groovy vibes” generation screeching and crying: “TRUMP PAY YOUR TAXES!!!! WAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!”

It’s like one morning they all woke up and started thinking like the Old Folks. Except that their whining is the setup for violence and blood, not obedience to authority.

LOL, so true. And who can forget when Abbie Hoffman vowed to levitate the Pentagon in the 1960s? Today they all work there :)

What is “Fair Trade”?

Whenever I see the word “Fair” that’s when I grab my wallet.

I didn’t mean the lefty version of Whole Foods fair trade…

If the ChiComs chisel us, then that’s not Free Trade … or Fair Trade.

It’s more like “Let’s Go” Trade that benefits Red China.

The “agreement” is sorta like the bimbo marrying the rich old creep — the money is good.

That’s it. Money. Money to fund programs. Pfizer just reported raking in $34B. 2022 will do the same, especially once they get to jab newborns.
This will continue unless their immunity from liability is stopped — which is why the FDA will never approve an available non-emergency jab.

Because it PAYS to let the Pharma lobby win their lies, and then they kick the $$ back to the Leftie causes.

One should note that for a decade or more the Chief Lobbyist for PHARMA (Pharmaceutical Researchers and Manufacturers Association,Lobby group originally called the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers, but they added “research” to make them look like they had....”science” and “ethics”. they don’t.).. was

Billy Tauzin— DEMOCRAT Leftist pretending to be a conservative and a cofounder, as an elected Democrat member of the US House- of the House Blue Dog Coalition, a group of moderate-to-conservative Democrats. Who remains of this mysterious group these days? There are none unless one is dreaming or fantazing. Tauzin switched to Republican in 1995, when the “wave” hit, saying that “conservatives” are not welcome in the Demonrat party— not then or now (and only when they are pretending to be, as we see). January 2005, the day after his term in Congress ended, he began work as head of PHARMA. Five years at 2million per, then retired his last year making 11.5 million/year. He wrote the Medicare Bill while still in Congress (and then jumped to PHARMA- having negotiated for them for this Bill. His reward, our demise, and tax boondoggle- Thanks GWB for the Medicare Drug Bill NOBODY wanted... but PHARMA!). And where is he now?— why, he’s now in “healthcare”... hilarious— Here:

The left worships the state. The “vaccines” became part of the state’s program to advance its power and scope. Big Pharma was welcomed aboard as an important partner.
