Yup, they could easily change Ivermectin enough but get the same results and get the treatment FDA approved and then charge whatever they want for it. The documentary I posted gives an example of this where a treatment is already available through repurposing of an existing affordable drug but big pharma came up with a different drug which had the same results and forced doctors to use the new $2000 treatment vs the $50 treatment. Science.

There is nothing easy about getting FDA approval. Raise your hand if you have gotten FDA approval (my hand is up).

Ted, I believe you are a smart enough guy from the content you have put out there. Thank you for that.

So since I know you know how to read, note that I didn't say they could easily get FDA approval.

But since you have first hand knowledge of getting FDA approval, how many "vaccines" do you know that have been approved in less than a year after being introduced? This is an honest question since you have clearly pointed out that I don't know how difficult it is to get FDA approval.

I am not in pharma, I am in Med Devices, which is easier than pharma. I do not have direct knowledge to answer your question.

I was involved in early efforts during the first-wave ****-show by direction from the absolute highest level and can tell you that EVERYTHING was on the table for a fast track. It was unprecedented. Look at Moderna's value, they were nothing in 2019. Approvals are the responsibility of the manufacturer.

Pfizer is literally doing this right now.

Mandate firing your staff, then crying about being overwhelmed because you don't have enough background dancers.

And now, for an amusing interlude...




Yes I know this was news last week, but I didn't see it until recently and I was doing a handover with my relief for two days (and now flying home). I'm putting that disclaimer in here just in case someone wants to inform me of that.

Today I help launch satellites in space to spy on your mom blowing truckers in the back alley.

Tell me more about how ironic it is.
No need. You're pathetic attempts at Ad Hominems are just that, pathetic. You work for the Feds, getting your salary from the tax payers, while denouncing it. You should probably seek help.

Just like EVERY OTHER vaccination out there, the more people that are vaxxed, the better it works. If you're vaccinated, you don't have to worry as much about catching it.

How do y'all antivaxxers and flat earthers even function.
I don't know why I bother either. These people worship someone who doesn't pay his bills, believe in virgin birth, and all other kinds of nonsense.

LoL, ******* leftists. I benefited from having my money returned to me, to buy something I would have bought regardless? And that makes me poor?

I believe Bajingo was merely insulting you. He doesn't think you are a Leftie.

I just pulled out of two different company job interviews because their company is mandating the vaccine. I asked if they were going to mandate birth control or Tylenol as well or if I could be relying on the company to decide which foods I eat, but have yet to receive an answer to those simple questions.

Oh, since all you care about are peer reviewed studies, care to comment on this Standford Peer Reviewed Study that shows masks aren't effective at limited the spread of Covid.

If we can't begin on a platform of reality here at home, showing you scientific data for another country won't help.

Do y'all even listen to yourselves?

The irony here is that those are viruses that have actual vaccines that work. How many cases of people getting Polio as adults that got the Polio vaccine as a child? Now compare that with Covid.

You really swallowed the hook. and proud of how well you did it.

Cool article.




Am I too caught up in the distinct irony, or have the anarchy-or-its-****-germany folk banned a 10 year member over this little parade of memes?

"The new study showed that protection against transmission seemed to wane over time, however. After three months, people who had breakthrough infections after being vaccinated with AstraZeneca were just as likely to spread the delta variant as the unvaccinated. While protection against transmission decreased in people who had received the Pfizer vaccine, there was still a benefit when compared with people who were unvaccinated."

get your jab every 3 months for the rest of your life.
