Bayer Sues COVID Vaccine Makers Over mRNA Technology

Yep, Bayer claims all the mRNA COVID Gene Therapy manufactures used Bayer-Monsanto pioneered technology from the 1980s for producing agricultural mRNA poisons, to make the mRNA COVID Gene Therapy injections.

Methinks Monsanto’s lawyers talked Bayer into this to recoup some of the losses they’ve incurred in nabbing back their glyphosate monopoly.

Maybe their patented glufosonate ammonium substitute isn’t selling.

> "agricultural mRNA poisons" == "COVID Gene Therapy injections"

Yep, that makes perfect sense. What could possibly go wrong?

I can’t give you a Tab unless you order something.

The COVID-19 pandemic created at least 40 new big pharma billionaires, Pharmaceutical corporations like Moderna and Pfizer made $1000 of profit every second from the covid-19 vaccine. More than two thirds of congress received campaign funding from pharmaceutical companies in the 2020 election. Pfizer chairman Albert Bourla told Time magazine in July 2020 that his company was developing a covid vaccine for the good of humanity, not for money. And of course, Pfizer made a hundred billion dollars in profit in 2022.

The American public, funded the development of that. The German Republic funded the BioNTech vaccine. When it came to the profits, they (BioNTech) took the profits. When it came to the funding, WE paid for the funding.

All I'm querying is this. Is if you have an economic system where pharmaceutical companies benefit hugely from medical emergencies, where a military industrial complex benefits from war, where energy companies benefit form energy crises, you are going to generate states of perpetual crisis.

The mRNA vaccines saved millions of lives and ended a pandemic. The vaccines are not poisons and are not gene therapy.

It's really cool when one can change the definition of a vaccine at one's will.

It's also really cool when one can use mRNA technology to change DNA in pesky, profit reducing plants, so that they die in fields where they normally would not.

What’s really cool is a vaccine that saved millions and ended a pandemic. It’s almost as cool as some trying to change the definiton of gene therapy to support their anti-vaccine narratives.

Amen

It must also be remembered that very early on, President Trump called the pharmaceutical companies to the White House to determine what could be done to curtail the impending pandemic.

One wonders if Bayer was somehow not part of that process. One wonders if the pressing need was reason enough to bypass the theoretical legality of the chemistry patent

Oh yes and to magnify your point, China had no vaccine and hundreds of thousands, perhaps even millions died from Covid. To provide treatment, patients were given IV’s figged between street light poles, outside on the street. Crematoriums were swamped and required wait times of days if not weeks.

There is lots of video record attesting to the above.

The anti-vaccine cult here on FR refuses to remember those reports since admitting the perceived lethality of COVID completely undermines their narrative.

That narrative goes so far as to declare that the COVID virus never existed (yes, some actually proclaim that). Some also proclaim that COVID and the vaccine are part of an insidious plot to reduce the earth’s population to a few million, that the vaccine is far more lethal than the virus.

Whether the virus was really as lethal as initial reports indicated isn’t the issue. The issue is that the virus was perceived to be a new pandemic even more lethal than the spanish flu justifying the actions that were taken. After all, what if the COVID virus had been that lethal and no precautions were taken?

It’s very interesting to review the history of vaccination. The same arguments made against the COVID vaccine are almost identical to those made against the first vaccinations, small pox in the late 1700’s. Then it was claimed the small pox vaccine would turn people into a cow. Now it is claimed the covid vaccine will alter your DNA. Then it was claimed the smallpox vaccine contained bat feces. Now it is claimed the covid vaccine contains various poisons that kill.

No, todays response is the same, today’s opponents of the vaccines are still living in the 1700’s.

It is reported that many of the antivax folks don’t brush their teeth because of floride in the toothpaste

It is also reported that they don’t use deodorant because someone on the internet told them it caused cancer.
