Deep dive on Biden's covid19 team.
Eric Goosby:
Leader in AIDS response.
Board of Directors - Clinton Foundation.
Averages about $25k a year in contributions from Gilead Sciences (HIV drug maker) between 2013-2018 (only years w/ data available.) projects.propublica.org/docdollars/doc…
bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/s…
"Gilead still doesn't have approval to market its drugs in many of the 97 nations that are considered among the world's least developed and are home to more than 70 percent of HIV cases" Goosby: backdoor marketer aka 'lecturer' for Africa?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinton_F… Goosby appears to be the only person on the Board with any medical expertise, despite the foundation's many health-themed initiatives. 2 board members are Clinton's lawyers from when he received oral sex from a 22 year old employee.
statnews.com/pharmalot/2016… In 2016, a year when Goosby received $24,235 from Gilead, they hiked the price of their HIV drugs that were about to lose their patents and therefore have cheap generic versions made, pushing patients to their new drugs.
"AIDS activists argue Gilead knew of these differences, but deliberately delayed testing TAF in humans for several years in order to extend patent protection for as long as possible on the best-selling older drugs."
"Gilead already has been skewered over the cost of its very effective hepatitis C medicines. A US Senate investigation last winter claimed the company put profits ahead of patients"

Working with evil big pharm and lawyers who protect a sex predator president. #EricGoosby

"A Pew Research Center poll from September 8–13 of this year shows that 78 percent of respondents were concerned that a Covid-19 vaccine will be rushed to approval before it has been proven safe....
...The study revealed that “about half of U.S. adults (51 percent) now say they would definitely or probably get a vaccine to prevent COVID-19 if it were available today.” That number is a precipitous decline from 72 percent in May of this year."
"people who say they would “definitely” get a coronavirus vaccine dropped to just 21 percent, half of what it was four months ago...
56% of Hispanic respondents indicating they would definitely/probably get a Covid-19 vaccine & only 32% of Black respondents indicating the same."

Biden c19 team #3:
Loyce Pace
Global Health Council President

Another identity politics person. See: her shirt. Colonizer is a racist term for white people, as seen in Black Panther. He's white, so he's a colonizer! Get it?! So good
And notice the description for the Black Panther clip. I guess they said they hate "British" people instead of white people at least...though common sense tells you what they really mean.

GHC partner: Eli Lilly. The same company Alex Azar price gouged insulin with.
Loyce Pace's Global Health Council wiki page shows how much of a joke the organization is. It reads like an absolute public relations piece. Very few reliable sources corroborate any of what they say, and they have very few specifics in terms of impact.

Biden c19 team cont'd:

Robert Rodriguez: UCSF emergency medicine professor

Latino.

Covid hysteric: the work he did in Brownsville was "the hardest experience of my life...treating the sickest patients that I had ever seen in my career"

Focused on identity-politics of c19.
Looks like Cameron County, where Rodriguez went, used a ton of ventilators...and has a high covid death rate. Sounds like Elmhurst in NYC. #PoorPeopleAreGoodToTrainOn

krgv.com/news/cameron-c…

One hospital "had 199 coronavirus patients Tuesday, with 73 on ventilators" -almost 1/2
Oh...and its the hospital that Rodriguez was at.

abc7news.com/cameron-county…

"Brownsville's Valley Baptist Hospital, where Rodriguez has been volunteering in one of four ICU's they've created for the pandemic."

The US Senate unanimously approved Kusher's ex-roomie to run IDFC.
"The IDFC's first domestic loan was a controversial $765 million loan to Kodak intended to transform the photography company into a pharmaceutical company..the SEC is investigating allegations of insider trading"
Boehler: former Senior Advisor for Value-based Transformation for DHS Secretary Alex Azar.

Azar: former pharmaceutical lobbyist, Chairman of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, former President of the U.S. division of Eli Lilly and Company.
"Azar left the position (at Eli Lilly) after the 2008 United States presidential election was won by Democratic Party candidate Barack Obama and the corporation wanted to replace Azar with a Democrat in that role"

“He had just read a book about the Manhattan Project and liked the idea.” - Director of CDC's reason for supporting Operation Warp Speed

"From its inception, Operation Warp Speed had political—not just pharmaceutical—goals"
"Adam Boehler, Kushner’s former roommate and a health care entrepreneur who has become his wingman in the pandemic response"

"Stephen Miller is also heavily involved"

"The program’s chief adviser, Moncef Slaoui, is a venture capitalist who worked almost 30 years at GSK"
"Kushner, according to a source familiar with Operation Warp Speed, has been permitted the status of government contractor, rather than employee, which means he can retain his investments in pharmaceutical companies and not file an ethics disclosure"
