I think the "emergent structure" phenomenon is very much at play here. Most certainly the pharma industry is exploiting this like mad. Most certainly they are obfuscating safety and efficacy and so on.

But like "the great reset" i think their motives are quite clear being a stakeholder firm. They are meant to profit by all means possible. They (especially pfizer) are truly dispicable in my view, but dont need a conspiracy to be so.

What i find to be the problem at face value was the marrying of governments to vaccine strategy and thereby to the pharma industry allowing it a much wider range of actions to secure profit. Giving them special treatment as if they where some holy philanthropist was stupid, and should never have happened. The sidestepping of rules, regulations and regulatory bodies developed over long periods of time through trial and error, that restricts governments by restricting their power was the biggest mistake and underlying the problem of special treatment for the pharma industry.

In Denmark we treated it like war granting our government unrestricted power, a power that none of our politicians are capable of wielding, and nore should they be. They are politicians in a representative democracy, it fosters over bidding which in turn is kept in check by the opposition through our paliamentary processes. But left unchecked they lurch at the most active of actions.

It obviously have nothing to do with science only in so far as the science

talks up action and reaffirms it.

Everywhere now politicians of the oppositions are fighting to reinstate the regulatory bodies because otherwise they are powerless, while also trying to maintain popularity. They don't condemn restrictions but want to downregulate them.

So whatever atrocities the pharma industry was/is perpetrating it was enabled by the unlimited power granted to politicians due to "state of emergency" being implemented everywhere (which also explains the constant use of war metaphors in the early stages (or is it the other way around?)).

The question then is why did we implement a state of emergency?

How did this idea start?

A pandemic is one thing (and not a nice thing, but not war), but a state of emergency have never been the solution. So why the state of emergency? Mediadriven hysteria? Perhaps. Pushed agendas by organisations like the world economic forum? Perhaps.

One thing was clear from the state of Denmark, our prime minister and health minister changed tactics from the one recommended by our local authorities to a state of emergency with lockdowns etc. After a meeting in Bruxelles with unknown experts. This is obviously kindle for conspiracies, but even excluding allegations of conspiracy wtf happened in those first few weeks of the pandemic?

Brilliant piece. Thank you.

I think there is at least one other outright conspiracy as well as pharma’s. But this is extraordinarily good on pharma.

There are some great goods emerging from this catastrophe, and one of them is the sight of the courage of those speaking out, especially those willing to give up their pay for truth. And another is the sheer quality of some of the independent journalism, both in research, like Joel Smalley and Berenson, and comment, like you, the bad cat, and others.
