How did Pfizer manage to rebrand itself as the savior of humanity?
One of the most significant cultural transformations of the last two years has been the newfound glorification of the pharmaceutical industry. An industry plagued by decades of fraud, corruption, and criminality managed to quickly rebrand itself as the savior of humanity during the covid-19 crisis. But nothing inherently changed. Big Pharma still values shareholders’ profits more than people’s lives. The regulatory agencies still operate as revolving doors to the pharmaceutical giants they are said to regulate. Big Pharma still dominates lobbying efforts in Washington DC and spends billions each year advertising pharmaceutical products. Despite the notorious corrupt nature of the pharmaceutical industry, Pfizer’s CEO Albert Bourla claimed during a November 2021 interview, that a small group of “medical professionals” who are intentionally circulating “misinformation” critical of the Pfizer vaccine narrative are “criminals”. Bourla seemed to have forgotten about the history of his own company.
Pfizer’s Long History Of Criminal Behavior
In 1991, the federal government fined Pfizer, a then-record $3.1 million for violating the Clean Water Act at its former plant in Easton, Pennsylvania. Pfizer dumped untreated industrial wastes into the Easton Area Joint Sewer Authority's wastewater treatment plant over a six-year period. According to the EPA, Pfizer's untreated discharges were responsible for the failure of the Easton sewage treatment facility, and that led to minimally treated and untreated industrial and domestic wastes being dumped in the Delaware River for a number of years.
In 1992, Pfizer agreed to pay between $165 million and $215 million to settle lawsuits arising from the fracturing of its Bjork-Shiley Convexo-Concave heart valve, which at the time had resulted in nearly 300 deaths, and by 2012 had resulted in 663 deaths.
In 1994, Pfizer agreed to pay $10.75 million to settle Justice Department claims that the company lied to get federal approval for a mechanical heart valve that has fractured, killing hundreds of patients worldwide. Under the settlement, Pfizer also agreed to pay $9.25 million in coming years to monitor patients who received the device at Veterans Administration hospitals or pay for its removal. The deal was criticized by consumer rights activists who urged Government officials to bring criminal charges and lobbied for a steeper civil penalty for the multibillion-dollar company that had covered up safety concerns even as the device was killing patients.
In 1996, Pfizer administered an experimental drug during a clinical trial on 200 children in Nigeria but never told the parents that their children were the subjects of an experiment. Eleven of the children died and many others suffered side effects such as brain damage and organ failure. A report by Nigeria’s health ministry concluded, the experiment was "an illegal trial of an unregistered drug," a "clear case of exploitation of the ignorant," and a violation of Nigerian and international law. Pfizer did not obtain consent or inform the patients that they were the subjects of an experiment, not the recipients of an approved drug.

It must be pretty bad being a Nigerian child or young person.
The government appears ineffective in protecting their people against dangerous outside forces. If the Boko Harem Muslims don’t enslave you or slice you to ribbons, Pharmacists from wealthy nations want to experiment on you without consent.
I would suspect the Nigerian government is not protecting her people, because several gov. authorities are on the take and skimming the profits for personal gain.
You heard of the Nuremberg Tribunals?
Next up is the Nigerian Tribunals. Let my people go … and get reparations from Pfizer and Big Pharma.

Did they give the kids free pozza?
Read John LeCarre's book 'The Constant Gardener'.
This is shocking. Where are the journalists, the lawyers, and the prosecutors? (I think I know the answer.)

Hi bob. Thanx for the heads up on “the constant gardener” by john lecarre.
The movie based on the book is available on amazon prime (free to prime members).
I cued it up & got a few minutes into the drama before I had to break for supper.
I read a lot of it was filmed on location in nigeria & from what I got to see, it’s definitely not a hollywood set.
I’ll circle back after I finish it
😌 OK. I thought it a bit dreary when I read it, a bit Leftist, politically motivated... a bit unlike the author's previous creations. Be that as it may, I simply discovered in the outcome that I was poorly informed.
I think that in the main the pharmaceutical companies offer a great service to humanity, improve lives and life spans. Most drugs cost bank vaults to develop - one could understand if a few corners had been cut.
But inhumane treatment of fellow beings, lives threatened and destroyed; that is unacceptable. The pressure is too great, the competition too unprincipled.

over the years I’ve read ludlum & le carre & I’ll agree with you that this was not what I expected to see.
while I prefer reading vs. watching watching the movies, I came away with a very similar impressions that you got from the book.
It made it easier to see how fauci & big pharm chose africa as testing grounds & human guinea pigs for their new diseases & resulting “cures”.
it also reinforced my hated for the way fauci treated the monkeys and dogs too.
These Leftists pretend to be caring and compassionate. The more Marxist they become the more, somewhat subconsciously, that they see humans as a commodity. Full Marxists, like Stalin or Bill Ayers, see people - life in general - as property of the state with no value as individuals; they exist at the pleasure of the state. As Dr Zhivago was impressed upon in that film: the personal life is dead!
Sometimes capitalist greed reaches the same conclusion on human value. sigh The exploitation in Africa has roots in Genesis 9:25. 🤔
