WASHINGTON — Seventy-two senators and 302 members of the House of Representatives cashed a check from the pharmaceutical industry ahead of the 2020 election — representing more than two-thirds of Congress, according to a new STAT analysis of records for the full election cycle.

Pfizer’s political action committee alone contributed to 228 lawmakers. Amgen’s PAC donated to 218, meaning that each company helped to fund the campaigns of nearly half the lawmakers on Capitol Hill. Overall, the sector donated $14 million.

The breadth of the spending highlights the drug industry’s continued clout in Washington. Even after years of criticism from Congress and the White House over high prices, it remains routine for the elected officials who regulate the health care industry to accept six-figure sums.

And not a single member of Congress nor Department heads has died from Covid! Compare that to the general population and you have a statistical anomaly.

Did they have access to a vaccine that we didn’t? Inquiring minds want to know.

“Amgen’s PAC donated to 218”

Guess who makes these drugs...

Pray all they want is cash, and not an excuse to inject their hazardous material into everyone.
