This is very transparently not science. There is a clear discrediting interest here by Big Pharma. This variant could be good for the world, but bad for business.
2021 Q3: $24.1 bil
2021 Q2: $19.0 bil
2021 Q1: $14.6 bil
2021 through three quarters: $57.7 billion
All of 2020: $41.9 billion
All of 2019: $51.8 billion
All of 2018: $53.6 billion
Don't mistake anything Pfizer says for science. This is bottom line.
Let me correct myself. I said profits. This is revenue, not profit. Just to clarify.
Now that said, let's look at net income by year:
2021 YTD: $18.6 bil
2020: $9.6 bil
2019: $16.3 bil
2018: $11.2 bil
2017: $21.3 bil
2016: $7.2 bil
2015: $7.0 bil
2014: $15.3 bil
2013: $15.7 bil
2012: $16.5 bil
2011: $17.8 bil
2010: $8.6 bil
2009: $8.1 bil
2008: $8.1 bil
All the above revenue and net income data was taken from the Pfizer quarterly reports that can be found on their site.
Remember, variants are not profound. The wave happening in South Africa right now is happening almost exactly at the same time as last year. Only this time they have added antigen tests as counting toward their rapidly rising numbers. Seasonality is the cause not Omicron
We called this out when it happened. South Africa announced they were adding antigen results to the total.
In Pensacola, @GovRonDeSantis has arrived at the podium where a sign reads "Florida State Guard" and "Let Us Alone," the motto of the first state guard in 1845.
The Governor announces we are recommending over $100 million in funding of the Florida National Guard.
Adding we want the ability to respond to events in the state, we are also recommending money to reestablish the Florida State Guard, a state-run volunteer force to help in disasters and emergencies as a supplement to the national guard.
The only reports on the ground is that it's mild so far.
Yet global leaders are threatening restrictions over a coming surge. Pure evil manipulation.
There is nothing profound about variants. They're natural permutations of a respiratory virus. The media has attempted to exaggerate every single one, and none have been remarkably different other than Delta being a little more transmissible. Branding them is a fear tactic.
Think about it: they're already trying to link the upcoming winter wave with Omicron, even though we literally have zero data supporting it is any more transmissible and anecdotes suggest it's milder. And the winter wave has already started, but they'll blame it on the "variant."
Folks, that there are two different kids mentioned in this story, and the second being highlighted, is not actually a gotcha.
The headline references the kid being lost to COVID but the details do not establish that. They say died "with" and had serious unspecified conditions.
Given that the previous youngest known death also later was revealed that they didn't die "from" the virus, this headline is irresponsible.
Live in Brandon, Fla., @GovRonDeSantis is ready to sign four bills passed yesterday in special session, including the prohibition of mask mandates in schools and doing away with jab or job vaccine mandates in businesses in Florida.
Along side the Governor is Attorney General @AshleyMoodyFL who is announcing the state has filed a lawsuit in Pensacola in the Northern District court challenging the CMS vaccine mandate of healthcare workers.
Saying it's your body and it doesn't belong to Dr. Fauci, @FLSurgeonGen says it is time to fight back on the attempted normalization by national leaders that they control your medical autonomy.
The Florida House has just passed the COVID-19 vaccine mandate bill. This will allow any one of five exemptions by any business in Florida wishing to require vaccines of employees. This will also put into law that no school districts may have required masking in schools.
If the Senate passes the same bill today, it will be sent along to @GovRonDeSantis for signing.
Businesses wishing to ask vaccines of employees, must allow exemptions for:
Medical issues
Sincerely held religious beliefs
Pregnancy
Previous infection
Or the written consent of the employee to consent to masking or testing, the frequency of which will be determined by DOH.
