Another State Sues Pfizer
Kansas is the latest US state to file a lawsuit against Pfizer, accusing the pharmaceutical giant of misleading the public about the safety and effectiveness of its Covid-19 vaccine.
WHO’s on First
The global public health plan is not just international cooperation to be better prepared for pandemics. The biomedical state and its partners seek to manage the whole of society using health as the rationale. They’re running away with the game.
One-Size-Fits-All Will Fail Every Time
Governments prepare to fight the next pandemic with the methods that led to defeat in the Covid-19 pandemic. They think it was a great triumph. Meanwhile, evidence mounts that the Covid-19 response was at best ineffective.
Questioning Modern Injection Norms
There is a role for injection medications. But there are risks and harms, both known and unknown. The current mindset is deeply problematic.
Former CDC Director Admits the Truth
In a surprising turn of events you can now count the former head of the CDC as a member of the “anti-science” community. In particular was the role of Covid vaccines, and how influential Big Pharma was in pushing for indefensible mandates.
Send This Article to People Who Say “Ivermectin Doesn’t Work for Covid-19”
If you hear your pharmacist, physician, or academic dean parrot the malignant regurgitated trope of “Ivermectin doesn’t work for Covid” or that there is “no evidence” or “no data” to support ivermectin’s use in Covid-19, send them this meta-analysis summary and annotated bibliography of over 100 studies.

Bird Flu, Fear, and Perverse Incentives
Outbreaks do occur and we should monitor and prepare for them. However, we have allowed the development of a system where outbreaks are almost all that matter. Perceptions of risk, and resultant funding, have become grossly disproportionate to reality. The perverse incentives driving this are obvious, as are the harms. The world will be increasingly unequal and impoverished, and sick, building on the outcomes of the Covid response. Fear promotes profit better than calmness and context. It is on us to remain calm and continually educate ourselves regarding context. No one will sell these to us.
Children Are Gifts, Not Projects
Could it be that if we were to take a bit more time to reflect on the inherent resourcefulness of our offspring as children of God, we might worry a little less about ensuring that they become cogs in our culture’s clearly sputtering machine of material “success” and thus be less inclined to cede before the “Drug him or else he’ll never be a success” entreaties of ostensibly well-meaning authorities?
The Story of Operation Warp Speed Gets Worse
Quite understandably given the billions Moderna made from Warp Speed, Arbutus and parent company Genevant are suing for infringement. Which is where it gets weird, or actually not very weird. If government was going to lean on pharmaceutical firms to rush a vaccine, indemnity from liability had to come next. And so it is for Moderna via-a-vis Arbutus. The Department of Justice agreed last year to take on Moderna’s liability for patent infringement which, given the billions Moderna earned via federal largesse, could easily add up to billions.

Pandemics: The Healthcare Dilemma of Our Time
So, rather than arguing over the fine print in these pandemic agreements, we first must make an obvious and fundamental decision. Is the intent of all this to live longer, more equitably, and healthily? Or is it to grow the pharmaceutical sector of wealthy countries? We cannot do both, and we are currently set up to support Pharma. It will take a lot of unraveling, and rethink on conflict-of-interest rules, to make this a public health program. It probably comes down to who makes decisions, and whether they want an egalitarian society or a more traditional feudalistic and colonialist approach. This is the real question to be addressed in Geneva.

Oysters with a Side of Vindication
Oofy turned his attention to his second plate of oysters, then looked me in the eye. “The only thing that was 95% effective was the government propaganda. And of course the margin loans we all used to make squillions on the pharma share price gains. Don’t tell me you missed that boat too, Wooster. Good lord, you are a chump. Even the PM was in on it. His wife held the shares of course. Pass the lemon, there’s a good chap.”
AstraZeneca Recalls Covid-19 Injectable Product
You might have heard that the AstraZeneca Covid-19 injectable product has been withdrawn from market use. It’s true. They’ve initiated a worldwide recall of their product as of May 8, 2024.
