COVID-19 vaccine boosters could mean billions
for drugmakers

Billions more in profits are at stake for some vaccine makers as the U.S. moves toward dispensing COVID-19 booster shots to shore up Americans' protection against the virus. How much the manufacturers stand to gain depends on how big the rollout proves to be. Exactly who should get a booster was a contentious decision as advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention spent two days this week poring over the evidence. CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky endorsed most of their choices: People 65 and older, nursing home residents and those ages 50 to 64 who have chronic health problems such as diabetes should be offered one once they are

Billions more. And then the perk of internationalized health care. It takes a village.

FTA: "No one knows yet how many people will get the extra shots. But Morningstar analyst Karen Andersen expects boosters alone to bring in about $26 billion in global sales next year for Pfizer and BioNTech and around $14 billion for Moderna if they are endorsed for nearly all Americans." John "Closet" Roberts set the stage by approving the government requiring purchase of costly "health insurance" plans that offered little in return, and now we have minimally effective shots with significant side effects that are mandated by government pressure on private employers, with employees faced with being fired with no access to unemployment should they refuse. This is not the nation we thought it was.

I often wonder how these people sleep at night. Do they not have a conscience. Yeah, lots of people want to make money, but at the expense of hundreds of thousands, if not millions of lives? I don't understand how this happens.

They have a new scam in the works, too. Pfizer wants to make a daily pill to keep the COVID away.

Two FBI agents briefly visited the North Port, Fla. home of Brian Laundrie on Sunday morning and asked his parents for some of their son's personal items to help with "DNA matching," according to the family's lawyer.

On social media over the summer, Petito posted smiling photos of herself and Laundrie in front of beautiful landscapes, but such photogenic moments seemed to have concealed darker truths about her life on the road.

Several years ago, Annie decided to buy a van. With her partner at the time, she made a pact: they were going to save $10,000 each and then hit the road for a year, living out of their van and hitting 49 states. It was fairly early in the evolution of the #vanlife influencer community on social media. At the time, there were few depictions of the lifestyle on Instagram: cozy, sun-drenched selfies in perfectly appointed backseats with nary a crumpled Doritos bag or empty soda bottle in sight; bright red buttes and cliffs framed by flawlessly filtered vistas. But Annie was drawn to the idea of total freedom, of seeing

As recently reported by Project Veritas, if vaccines are dangerous, then HHS will not record it. If vaccines are dangerous, then OSHA will tell employers to not record it. In this way, OSHA, FDA, HHS and CDC can claim that vaccines are safe and effective because there is no data to the contrary. But if vaccines are not truly dangerous, then why engage in this deception?As attributed to Goebbels, “truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” What better way to make certain the truth never emerges than to never record it?

Instead, it was about the claim that an inordinate number of the ballots in the Joe Biden pile didn’t come from real people. Instead, they were alleged to have been faked—and the audit confirms almost 60,000 wrongfully counted ballots
