The Amazon Takeover of Healthcare Industry Continues with Clinic Chain Acquisition
breitbart ^ | 22 Jul 2022 | LUCAS NOLAN

Amazon is continuing its expansion into the healthcare industry, announcing the acquisition of One Medical clinics in a $3.9 billion deal.

The New York Times reports that while Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has focused on driving down costs, the company is still continuing to expand into areas it believes could be profitable. One such area is healthcare. Breitbart News recently reported an internal team at Amazon is developing a cancer vaccine in partnership with the Seattle-based Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center. The project is reportedly already recruiting patients to participate in an FDA-approved clinical trial.

On Thursday, the company announced its first major acquisition under Jassy, a $3.9 billion deal to purchase One Medical, a chain of primary care clinics around the country. One Medical’s share price was down significantly since its peak last year and Amazon said that it would acquire the company for $18 per share in an all-cash transaction.

The deal is yet another in Amazon’s attempts to step into the healthcare market. Neil Lindsay, the senior vice president of Amazon Health Services, said in a statement announcing the deal: “We think health care is high on the list of experiences that need reinvention.”

Amazon reportedly wants to be the “front door” through which customers access health care, according to Christina Farr, an investor in health care with OMERS Ventures. “They want to nail the consumer experience,” she said.

One Medical operates a network of 188 medical offices, mostly in large cities, and provides virtual medical services that patients pay a $199 annual fee to access. It spent $2.1 billion last year to acquire Iora Health which provides care for seniors as part of the Medicaid program.

The first Durvet apple-flavored paste I got, back in Nov 2020 before it was a thing, was from Amazon. I bought a 6-pack and it was slightly less than $4/tube. I just looked and it is now $78 for a 6-pack, and it has come down.

Heck no! She can get her own, she can afford it. I am maintaining my stash!

I’ve taken it at prophylactic dose levels during Covid spikes going back to Dec 2020, and took it when I had Covid early this year. I’m a believer. Here, I’ll FReepmail you my links, don’t want to take the thread too off-track.

IVM is DANGEROUS and cannot be used except with specific approval by NIH, CDC, WHO, WEF and Bill Gates. If the masses found out that the vaxxxxxines were NOT necessary, NUREMBERG type trials will occur.

Instead, vaxxxxxxinate the masses, kill some of them but give the rest horrific diseases like cancer, organ failures, heart attacks...

The vaxxines destroy the body's natural immune system so that the victims will be dependent on drugs to survive.

Cancer is a huge money maker already. With the immune system damaged, cancer rates will soar.

The vaxxxxxxines also kick off autoimmune attacks. Deaths will not be quick but the victims will spend huge amounts to attempt to stay alive.

With a sick and dying vaxxxxxxxed population, huge profits for BIG PHARMA will continue for a long time. Vaxxxxxxinating children will take these schemes out for generations.

And Bill Gates and his eugenics/global warming crowd will get massive population reduction.

Everybody wins except the vaxxxxxxxxed. And the Chinese kicked all of this off and watched the corrupt western governments kill their own citizens. They deserve to rule the world with their almost perfect plan to destroy the western nations.

I will cancel my One Medical account today. FWIW, they stopped supplying Covid shots after the first does.

Be careful what you wish for.

Welcome to our future... first they’ll come for the 65 and over crowd then they’ll come for the Christian, the children with defects people with chronic illness the list is too numerous and they’ll place all of us defective folk according to their evil scheme in a future holocaust concentration camp. They’ll have modern day equipment or gas chambers to eliminate the concentration populous in seconds! Then comes the ovens. How does that saying go “history has a bad habit of repeating itself, if we let it”. Come quickly Lord Jesus and have mercy on us.

Yeah. I haven’t been to a doctor in 15 years. I haven’t had health insurance since January of 2013. We put our faith in the great healer and he has been absolutely faithful.

We also haven’t taken prescription drugs in over two decades. We’re both 68 and take personal responsibility for health. If I break an arm maybe I’ll go to a doctor and have it set. But that’s about it.

The only thing they didn’t consider with these “vaccines” is most of the people who are getting jabbed and rejabbed and rejabbed again think like Bill Gates. Bill Gates is going to end up with a bunch of pure blood rabid conservatives to deal with.

If he operates his medical operation system like his shipping departments it’s not going to be good.
