Pfizer: Six Scandals to remember

corporatewatch.org...

1986: Pfizer had to withdraw an artificial heart valve from the market after defects led to it being implicated in over 300 deaths. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) withdrew its approval for the product in 1986 and Pfizer agreed to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation after multiple lawsuits were brought against it.

2003: Pfizer has long been condemned for profiteering from AIDS drugs. In 2003 for example, it walked away from a licencing deal for its Rescriptor drug that would have made it cheaper for poorer countries.

2011: Pfizer was forced to pay compensation to families of children killed in the controversial Trovan drug trial. During the worst meningitis epidemic seen in Africa, in 1996, Pfizer ran a trial in Nigeria their new drug Trovan. Five of the 100 children who took Trovan died and it caused liver damage, while it caused lifelong disabilities in those who survived. But another group of 100 children were given the conventional “gold standard” meningitis antibiotic as a “control” group for comparison. Six of them also tragically died because, the families said, Pfizer had given them less than the recommended level of the conventional antibiotic in order to make Trovan look more effective.

2012: Pfizer had to pay around $1billion to settle lawsuits claiming its Prempro drug caused breast cancer. Prempro was used in hormone replacement therapy, usually for women going through the menopause. The settlements came after six years of trials and hardship for the women affected.

2013: Pfizer paid out $273 million to settle over 2,000 cases in the US that accused its smoking treatment drug Chantix of provoking suicidal and homicidal thoughts, self harm and severe psychological disorders. Pfizer was also accused of improperly excluding patients with a history of depression or other mental disturbances from trials for the drug. Later, in 2017, a coroner in Australia ruled that the drug had contributed to a man’s suicide. The man’s mother campaigned to change the label on the drug.

2020: Pfizer reached an agreement with thousands of customers of its depo-testosterone drug in 2018 after they sued it for increasing the likelihood of numerous issues, including heart attacks

It is well known that Pfizer has a toxic reputation and has been the subject of multi-billion dollar criminal fines. However the pharmaceutical giant was trusted for once more through great PR to take part in what others have called the greatest medical scandal in history.

How on earth a company with such a record of multi-billion dollar criminal fines can be trusted?
PR and the lack of long term memory can create miracles as much as a very friendly and complicit MSM.

Pfizer doesn't even have to test their products anymore. They are going at an incredible speed! The speed of science!

This was what many of us said in 2020. There were many threads about these mishaps and coverups, especially when we learned about the no liability clause that they demanded.

Pfizer drug breach ends in biggest US crime fine

Pfizer, the world's largest drugs company, has been hit with the biggest criminal fine in US history as part of a $2.3bn settlement with federal prosecutors for mispromoting medicines and for paying kickbacks to compliant doctors.

In a blow to its reputation in the eyes of doctors and patients, Pfizer pleaded guilty to misbranding the painkiller Bextra, withdrawn from the market in 2004, by promoting the drug for uses that were not approved by medical regulators.

The New York-based company also settled civil allegations concerning improper payments to doctors who prescribed nine other pharmaceutical products, although it continues to deny these charges

Under an out-of-court deal with the US department of justice, a Pfizer subsidiary, Pharmacia & Upjohn, is paying a criminal fine of $1.3bn (nearly £800m), a record in American judicial history.

Pfizer is also paying $1bn in civil settlements to Medicare, Medicaid and other government health insurance schemes to reimburse improper prescriptions.

Prosecutors said the payments reflected the "size and seriousness" of Pfizer's infringements. Tom Perrelli, the associate attorney general, said it was a victory for the public over "those who seek to earn a profit through fraud".

The most despicable thing about these cases is that Pfizer knowingly and deliberately failed to take proper safety precautions, including their clinical testing process.

Even with children. The weakest and most vulnerable who depend most on the adults around them to protect them.

If these were criminal charges, I can easily see 2nd degree murder charges resulting from a depraved heart. There should be.

It's absolutely sickening is what it is.

There SHOULD be criminal charges for all of this. I don't understand why not?

The liability clauses are only Civil, no?

operation warp speed, they only needed to convince one man, the guy in the white house

President said late Friday that Pfizer had “passed the gold standard of safety,” in a video statement hailing the vaccine as “one of the greatest scientific accomplishments in history.”

You may also want to take a look at how Pfizer settled civil allegations in relation to improper payments to doctors to push and prescribe their products. They seem to be denying the allegations eventhough they settled the claims.

Don't you not trust the 'science'?!
What is the matter with people in our days?

President is seriously confused.

He is on record telling the people that when you have the Covid vaccines you won't get Covid.

I assume that it's in the framing of the law, which holds "corporations" responsible rather than the people making the corporate decisions, and limits liability for employees (including executive management).

On the plus side, after posting my comment, I saw this statement from one of our candidates for Governor, Kari Lake:

I do want to get to the very bottom of who made the decision to mask our kids. Fauci, CDC, I think the school teachers union was in on it. I want to find out who made these decisions to shut our businesses down and shut our churches down. I want to have a commission to investigate COVID and how it was handled in this state, and hand up any civil or criminal charges that need to be made, because we’re not going to just forget what happened when our lives got turned upside down. When our businesses got shut down, when our grandparents and parents are forced to die alone in a nursing home, when our people who worked so hard were forced out of a job because they didn’t want to get a shot that their boss wanted him to get. So I want to find out where a lot of these decisions were made, who was responsible? And if there is a way and if there was some criminal activity, I think we need to look at that, absolutely.

Kari Lake: “I Want To Have A Commission To Investigate COVID And How It Was Handled In Arizona” – Suggests Criminal Charges (VIDEO)

Perhaps we'll find out more, not just from an investigation, but also when/if criminal charges are filed -- or not.

I like Kari Lake.

You quoted my typo!!!! That's going to drive me NUTS all day I swear.

Clauses, not "causes". Aaaaarrrrggghh

I think we need some questions asked about how it was handled too.

For criminal charges you need to have some of the lawmakers in your side, good lawyers, dedicated politicians, and plenty of public support. Nothing is impossible but you need to lay the foundations first before you proceed.

Actually they have been handled heavy criminal fines.

Pfizer pushing deadly drugs, lying, faking trial results and paying off doctors...

IS THE RULE, NOT THE EXCEPTION.

This is their business model, so once they assumed control of the FDA/CDC and many government officials, they have been able to print money while pushing poison. Ironically they could have used saline and had way better results but because they are aligned with the globalist agenda that includes depopulation.

Just because you and I can’t trust their products doesn’t mean they can’t be trusted to do what they always do.

Put it to market and pay the fine for being cowboy pharmacists later.

Depends on what you mean by 'trusted' in this case.

You 'trust' them to create mayhem.
But you can't trust them otherwise and especially when it comes to public health.

You described it perfectly!!!

Their business model relies on deception, lies, bribing, propaganda, and profiteering.

No need to as they are moving at the speed of science.

So, your claim is that the vaccines didn't pass the normal process for approving vaccines?

That seems to contradict what the FDA, CDC, public health officials, and virtually all media has stated. The EUA and subsequent approvals went through the advisory boards and agency officials.

This blaming Trump for it all tactic isn't going to have legs. I advise that the people in the revolving door between pharma and the government should start finding a different defense and good lawyers.
