It’s well known that a revolving door exists between industry and its regulators which is evidence that the game is rigged against consumers. Instead of an antagonistic relationship between regulators and industry in order to protect the public from potential harm or malfeasance, these regulators view themselves as partners with the companies they are supposedly regulating.
In fact, the CDC openly advertises its public-private partnerships. According to the CDC:
CDC works with the private sector because public-private partnerships advance CDC’s mission of protecting Americans. Americans—and CDC—can accomplish more working together than separately. Two of the most important reasons for public-private partnerships are to ensure health security and contribute to a healthy economy.
Don’t you feel all warm and fuzzy. These partnerships are all about protecting Americans and ensuring health security.
Well, and the profits of the industry (a healthy economy) with which they are partnered too.
While the CDC isn’t a regulatory agency per se, their Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) decides what lands on the immunization schedule and so far they haven’t met a vaccine they don’t like. Once a vaccine is placed on the immunization schedule, Medicaid recipients are eligible for these shots meaning built in profits at the expense of taxpayers.
The FDA most certainly is a regulatory body, but they also act more like a marketing agency for Big Pharma approving drugs and vaccines with scant evidence of efficacy or safety. Mind you, the FDA does not conduct clinical trials on drugs and vaccines, they simply review the data supplied by drug companies trying to get their products approved.
FDA approval is the golden ticket to massive profits for these companies, and the employees of the FDA who ensure products receive approval are often rewarded with lucrative roles at the companies they “regulate.”
Scott Gottleib, former head of the FDA during the early days of the COVID plandemic landed a cushy role on Pfizer’s Board of Directors. Pfizer, if you recall, was granted an EUA on its mRNA shots that showed poor efficacy on an absolute basis and had virtually no safety testing. Pfizer made $100 billion or so on these worthless shots mostly at the expense of the taxpayers here and around the world.
The most recent evidence of this game in the land of Big Pharma was revealed by the British Medical Journal as reported by The Epoch Times. Dr. Doran Fink started as a low level clinical reviewer in 2010 working his way up to Deputy Director of the Division of Vaccines Research and Review at the FDA. Fink was heavily involved in the COVID-19 “vaccine” EUAs. He is now head of a division within Moderna. Moderna also had their version of an mRNA shot that was equally worthless, but was really the only product that has ever made money for Moderna.
Dr. Jaya Goswami was at the FDA for a much shorter time period starting there in 2020. She was responsible for determining whether Moderna’s COVID vaccine clinical data met regulatory standards for approval. She was rewarded with a role as director of clinical development in infectious diseases.
Employees of these regulatory agencies are supposed to take an almost adversarial approach and make it extremely difficult to push products through to approval in order to ensure as best as possible that drugs and vaccines are indeed safe and effective.
Imagine if these people kept requesting more data, and pointed out that 0.8% absolute risk reduction (ARR) was not a sign of an effective vaccine, but an ineffective one and there is no safety data to boot so no fucking way can we approve this. Do you imagine Pfizer or Moderna would hire these people except to maybe get them out of the way? But then again, people who demanded a higher burden of proof probably wouldn’t take a job with these companies for ethical reasons.
Obviously not everybody who works for the FDA, CDC, EPA, SEC, etc is corruptible, but these agencies are often rotted in the ranks of leadership with people who have significant influence over what gets approved. This revolving door is a feature of the system not a bug, and the ambitious are rewarded for their partnership.
Personally, I’m in favor of no regulation not because I believe these companies are innocent, but because regulatory environments are fertile ground for corruption. This shit used to happen in secret, but now it’s out in the open for anyone who spends the time to look to see for themselves, and these violators don’t care. They have been emboldened and believe they are above the law.
Government “regulation” is actually a protection racket protecting the profits of the companies they regulate while eliminating the competition. Regulation is also more akin to a marketing scam leading us to believe that these products have been thoroughly vetted, and are safe and effective when that is far too often not the case.
Whether or not a product is actually safe and effective is a secondary consideration at best to its ability to generate profits and market share.
Removing regulation would increase competition and force consumers to once again exercise some much needed skepticism when it comes to many of these snake oil products. Also, removing liability waivers for vaccine manufacturers would give these companies pause before they try to ply their potentially dangerous and ineffective products in the public marketplace.
Unfortunately, we’ll probably get more of the same so it’s buyer beware either way.
