I wondered why Western governments who gave Pharma billions never demanded a FULL release of vaccine trial data before approving them for public use. • Pharma snickered: “We never show all our cards.”
I asked if the mRNA vaccines induced mucosal immunity (IgA antibodies) because the answer would be useful in determining if vaccinated folks could still transmit. • Pharma had no answer. Or: “none of your business, biologist.”
Based on reports from close friends — pharmacists running vaccination clinics — I wondered if the mis-handling of these ultracold vaccines was possibly inactivating doses. • Pharma ignored the question. “Quite possibly,” said the data.
I stood in line for my shots. Then had a week of flu-like symptoms. Got pooh-poohed. I resisted getting the second dose, but ultimately succumbed. I searched the literature for science to explain such outcomes. • The literature, by default, said: ”We don’t know, so you don’t need to”.
I kept telling folks that viruses mutate, that provoking genetic variation was a key evolutionary role. • Most folks weren’t particularly interested: “We have a vaccine” went the hopeful reply.
I predicted that they’d be rapaciously throwing boosters our way. After all, the business of Pharma is business NOT health care. • Pharma said: “Welcome to more shot-anxiety. Boosters are here.” And “After all, Fear Sells”.
The broken system continued to send tax dollars to Pharma to apply a technology developed in academic labs with tax dollars. • Pharma smiled demonically.
I once thought Anthony Fauci was a really good research biologist. Ultimately, I surrendered to the realization that he was just another bullshitter propagandist for a broken system. • Pharma reminded me that its lobbyists were positioned to usurp all publicly funded research and feed it to the profit-machine.
I knew that we’d never vaccinate the entire world — necessary to truly stop the pandemic — unless we suspended intellectual property restrictions to allow poorer countries to cheaply manufacture their own vaccines. • Pharma ho-hummed. Kept tallying its profits.
They tell me I should despise folks who want to keep this insanity at arms length, who reject Pharma’s manipulations. • Despite being a scientist, I understand and sympathize with their malaise and their resistance.
After all, there’s no denying my phrustration. • PHARMA SUCKS.
