1/ THREAD🚨 #PfizerFiles

Pfizer has habitually engaged in illegal and corrupt marketing practices, bribed physicians, & suppressed adverse trial results.

This is no secret, yet this fact continues to be brushed under the rug by politicians & the media.

kanekoa.substack.com/p/pfizers-hist…
2/ Pfizer’s CEO @AlbertBourla claimed during a November 2021 interview that a group of “medical professionals” intentionally circulating “misinformation” critical of the Pfizer vaccine were “criminals.”

The Pfizer CEO must have forgotten the history of his own company.
3/ In 1994, Pfizer paid the Justice Department to settle claims that the company lied to get federal approval for a heart valve and then covered up safety concerns even as the device killed hundreds of patients.

Pfizer paid $200M to settle lawsuits.

nytimes.com/1994/07/02/bus… Image
4/ In 1996, Pfizer gave an experimental drug to 200 Nigerian children without informing their parents that an approved cure existed or that their children were subjects of a medical experiment.

Eleven children died.

Others suffered brain damage, organ failure, or paralysis.
5/ In 2001, Pfizer was sued on behalf of 30 Nigerian families who alleged their "children were used as human guinea pigs."

The families claimed Pfizer violated the Nuremberg Code and exposed their children to "cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment."

The case was dismissed. Image
6/ In 2007, the Nigerian government sued Pfizer for $7 billion and accused the company of "carrying out illegal trials" that "killed or disabled children."

Nigeria claimed Pfizer did not inform local health authorities or parents that the children were part of an experiment. Image
7/ It gets even worse.

In 2010, leaked State Department cables alleged that Pfizer had hired investigators to blackmail Nigeria's Attorney General into dropping the $7 billion lawsuit against Pfizer.

theguardian.com/business/2010/… Image
8/ The leaked cables claimed Pfizer passed "a series of damaging articles" to the media that accused the Attorney General of corruption and warned him that more negative articles would come out if he didn't drop the case.

Nigeria dropped the case in 2009.
9/ In 2002, Pfizer agreed to pay $49 million to settle allegations that the drug company defrauded the federal government and 40 states by charging too much for its cholesterol treatment Lipitor.

Pfizer's revenue for Lipitor in 2001 was $6.45 billion.

nytimes.com/2002/10/29/bus… Image
10/ In 2008, the NYT published an article entitled, “Experts Conclude Pfizer Manipulated Studies.”

Pfizer delayed the publication of negative studies, spun negative data more positively, and suppressed negative findings to promote Neurontin.

nytimes.com/2008/10/08/hea… Image
11/ Dr. Kay Dickersin, a John Hopkins Professor of Medicine, who reviewed the Pfizer studies, concluded that 80% of the positive studies were published in full journal articles.

Yet, only 38% of negative studies were published, and some only partially.

nytimes.com/2008/10/08/hea… Image
12/ In 2009, Pfizer paid $750M to settle 35,000 claims that its drug, Rezulin, was responsible for 63 deaths and dozens of liver failures.

The FDA did not remove Rezulin from the market until three years after the UK had, despite a mounting death toll.

latimes.com/archives/la-xp… Image
14/ In 2009, Pfizer was fined $2.3 billion, then the largest healthcare fraud settlement and the largest criminal fine ever imposed in the US.

Pfizer pled guilty to paying kickbacks to doctors and illegally promoting — Bextra, Geodon, Zyvox, and Lyrica.

justice.gov/opa/pr/justice… Image
15/ CNN's Anderson Cooper: If Pfizer is too big to fail and even the biggest fine in history is just a few months' profits, then what's going to stop it from illegally promoting other drugs?

Critics say nothing.

They say it's the cost of doing business.
16/ In 2010, Pfizer was ordered to pay $142 million in damages for violating federal anti-racketeering laws by its fraudulent sale and marketing of Neurontin.

The jury found that Pfizer violated the RICO act.

yourlawyer.com/defective-drug… Image
17/ In 2010, Pfizer admitted that it paid $20 million to 4,500 doctors and other medical professionals for consulting and speaking on its behalf during the last six months of 2009.

The disclosure was required due to a settlement agreement for the illegal promotion of drugs. Image
18/ In 2010, Blue Cross filed a lawsuit against Pfizer, accusing the pharmaceutical giant of illegally bribing 5,000 doctors with lavish Caribbean vacations, golf games, cash payments, massages, and other recreational activities.

cbsnews.com/news/blue-cros… Image
19/ In 2012, the SEC charged Pfizer with violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act for bribing foreign healthcare professionals in Bulgaria, China, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Italy, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Serbia.

Pfizer settled for $60 million.

sec.gov/news/press-rel… Image
20/ In 2012, Pfizer paid $1.2 billion to settle claims by nearly 10,000 women that its drug, Prempro, caused breast cancer.

This included punitive damages for the pharmaceutical giant withholding warnings about the risk of breast cancer.

fiercepharma.com/regulatory/pfi… Image
21/ In 2012, Pfizer paid $55 million to settle criminal charges for illegally promoting its proton pump inhibitor Protonix.

In 2016, Pfizer paid $784 million to settle a medicare fraud case for its promotion of Protonix.

brianmahany.com/news/598_Mahan… Image
22/ There are over 13,000 proton pump inhibitor lawsuits pending in federal court — which claim that Pfizer and other drug manufacturers — withheld warning signs of kidney disease, acute interstitial nephritis, and kidney failure.

drugwatch.com/proton-pump-in… Image
23/ In 2013, Pfizer paid $273 million to settle claims by over 2000 people that its drug, Chantix, caused suicidal thoughts and severe psychological disorders.

fiercepharma.com/sales-and-mark… Image
24/ @BernieSanders: "Virtually every major drug company has either been convicted of fraud or reached a settlement."

"Is fraud the business model of the pharmaceutical industry?"
25/ Pfizer has habitually engaged in illegal and corrupt marketing practices, bribed physicians, and suppressed adverse trial results.

This is no secret, yet big government, big tech, and big media banned scientific criticism of Pfizer's covid-19 vaccines.
26/ This Pfizer presentation got Dr. Robert Malone (@RWMaloneMD) banned from Twitter.

"Pfizer's own 6-month report data on its COVID-19 inoculation shows greater illness and death in the inoculation arm than the placebo arm."

kanekoa.substack.com/p/the-powerful…
27/ @RWMaloneMD tells @joerogan that he was banned for sharing:

"...a fantastic video... by the Covid Care Alliance group that summarizes all the malfeasance, and data manipulation, and misinterpretation of the Pfizer vaccines, and their clinical trials."
28/ Dr. Robert Malone (@RWMaloneMD) was banned from Twitter for sharing this 40-minute video presentation created by the @CCCAlliance, a coalition of over 500 independent doctors, scientists, and health care practitioners.

Can we discuss it now❓

canadiancovidcarealliance.org/wp-content/upl…
29/ The video is a fact-based scientific critique of Pfizer's covid-19 vaccine clinical trials.

Considering Pfizer's history of corruption, scientists, doctors, and journalists should not have been banned from social media for asking these questions.

30/ The @CCCAlliance alleged that 84% of the Pfizer report authors had a conflict of interest.

They were either employed, owned stock, or received grants from Pfizer.

For example, the two BioNTech founders, who gained more than $9 billion from the vax, co-authored the report. Image
31/ Pfizer unblinded the trial after two months ruining long-term safety data & did not track biomarkers before & after vaccination:

•D-dimer for clotting
•C-reactive protein for inflammation
•Troponins for cardiac damage
•Blood oxygen for hypoxia
•Amyloid for Alzheimer's Image
32/ It was left to the discretion of Pfizer's investigators whether or not to test participants for covid-19.

They did not test 3,410 suspected cases (1,594 vaccinated & 1,816 placeboes) who were symptomatic with covid-19.

Why didn't Pfizer remove subjectivity & test everyone? Image
33/ @CCCAlliance: Pfizer's 6-month report shows a 300% increase in related adverse events, a 75% increase in severe adverse events, and a 10% increase in serious adverse events for the vaccinated group versus the placebo.

Why is there an increase in all-cause illnesses? Image
34/ @CCCAlliance: Pfizer's 6-month report shows 20 deaths in the vaccinated group versus 14 deaths in the placebo group and 9 cardiovascular deaths in the vaccinated group versus 5 in the placebo group.

Why didn't Pfizer make the clinical trial endpoint all-cause mortality? Image
35/ Maddie de Garay was 1 of 1,131 children in Pfizer's clinical trial for children aged 12-15.

Pfizer officially recorded Maddie's paralysis and neurological disorder as "abdominal pain" when reporting clinical trial results to the FDA.
36/ @IamBrookJackson, a regional clinical trial director, reported to the FDA that Pfizer had falsified data, unblinded participants, and not followed up on testing symptomatic participants.

She was fired, and the FDA & Pfizer never investigated the issue.
37/ In 2020, the pharmaceutical industry spent $4.5 billion on TV advertising in the United States, accounting for 75% of all ads.

In 2021, Pfizer alone spent $2 billion on advertising across print, digital, and TV.

Big Pharma buys positive media coverage.
38/ Pfizer reported a 95% efficacy, which sounds like it protects you 95% of the time, but that 95% actually refers to the Relative Risk Reduction (RRR).

In contrast, the Absolute Risk Reduction (ARR) was only 0.84%.

The @CCCAlliance report explains the difference.
39/ 9 out of 10 of the FDA's commissioners between 2006 and 2019 went on to work for the pharmaceutical companies they were in charge of regulating.

The BMJ found that 65% of the FDA's drug review budget comes directly from the pharmaceutical industry.

worldfreedomalliance.org/au/news/from-f… Image
39/ Gates said the mRNA vaccines were supposed to reduce transmission and spread.

Fauci said with "50% of adults fully vaccinated," he felt "fairly certain" there wouldn't be any more surges.

7-months later, cases rose 7,500% and hit a new all-time high of 1.35 million per day.
40/ Pfizer has a long history of fraud, corruption, and prioritizing profits over human lives.

Nonetheless, big tech, big government, and big media banned scientific criticism of Pfizer's covid-19 vaccines.

41/ So while Pfizer's CEO says "medical professionals" intentionally circulating "misinformation" are "criminals."

The reality is there are legitimate integrity, safety, and efficacy questions about their covid-19 vaccines.

And thank you, @elonmusk, for allowing us to ask them. Image

🚨THREAD: Richard Stengel founded the State Department's Global Engagement Center (GEC).

He describes his job as "chief propagandist."

"I'm not against propaganda. Every country does it, they have to do it to their own population, & I don't think it's that awful."

@elonmusk
2) Richard "Chief Propagandist" Stengel wrote an op-ed advocating for the end of the First Amendment.

Stengel blamed Donald Trump's 2016 election victory on Russian disinformation enabled by free speech.

Ironically, he also spread disinformation about Russian disinformation. Image
Image
3) Richard Stengel co-created Hamilton 68, a propaganda effort by the political establishment to label dissenting voices as "Russian disinformation."

It relied on a fabricated list of 600 supposed Russian Twitter accounts.

🚨THREAD: Paul Hyon Kim, 36, has been arrested for torching a row of Teslas with Molotov cocktails and spray-painting "RESIST" across the entrance of the Tesla service center in Las Vegas.

The legacy media radicalized this Democrat.

Here are his social media posts.👇
Image
1/ On his IG, Kim links to his website (paulhyonkimdotcom) alongside a "Donations to Palestine" link.

His website identifies him as a cinematographer who relocated from the Pacific Northwest to Las Vegas.

On Vimeo, he lists his pronouns as he/him. Image
Image
Image
2/ His recent IG story labels @hasanthehun a "sellout" for gifting items to AOC and Bernie Sanders during a recent interview.

The post criticizes Hasan for not interviewing Jill Stein and for not challenging AOC and Bernie on "their support for Zionism and Iron Dome funding." Image

🚨THREAD: Russia's invasion of Ukraine was *PROVOKED* by NATO expansion and a U.S.-backed 2014 coup, according to three decades of leading U.S. military and foreign policy experts:

•Ambassador George Kennan
•Ambassador Jack Matlock
•Senator Joe Biden
•Senator Bill Bradley
•Senator Sam Nunn
•Senator Gary Hart
•Senator Gordon Humphrey
•Secretary of State Henry Kissinger
•Defense Secretary Robert McNamara
•Defense Secretary William Perry
•Defense Secretary Robert Gates
•CIA Director William Burns
•CIA Director Stansfield Turner
•Professor Edward Herman
•Professor Noam Chomsky
•Professor John Mearsheimer
•Prime Minister Paul Keating
•Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser

In this thread, I’ll dive into their warnings, showing how this reckless policy enriched the U.S. military-industrial complex, reignited the Cold War, and pushed the world closer to nuclear catastrophe than ever before.

Video: @ComicDaveSmith @joerogan
1⃣ 1997 Open Letter: NATO Expansion a "Policy Error of Historic Proportions"

In June 1997, 50 U.S. foreign policy experts—including former Defense Secretary Robert McNamara and ex-CIA Director Stansfield Turner—sent President Clinton an open letter, labeling NATO’s eastward expansion a “policy error of historic proportions.”

They predicted it would provoke Russia, fuel nationalism, and undermine nuclear disarmament efforts like START II, urging cooperation over confrontation.Image

2⃣ Senator Biden Predicts Hostile Russian Reaction (1997)

That same month, Senator Joe Biden warned that NATO expansion into the Baltic states would provoke a "vigorous and hostile" reaction from Russia.

All three Baltic states—Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania—became NATO members in 2004.

🧵THREAD: I dug up archived USAID-funded Internews Annual Reports.

Here’s how this nonprofit played a crucial role in regime change across Eastern Europe in service of NATO expansion—then turned its tactics inward, calling for censorship in the West.

A deep dive👇 Image
Image
Image
Image
1/ Internews, heavily funded by USAID ($470M), spent decades building media networks, training journalists, and promoting “free speech” in former Soviet states.

But their mission wasn’t neutral. It was about shaping narratives to support NATO expansion.

Let’s start in 2001. ⬇️

2/ The 2001 Internews Annual Report states:

"Internews is one of the more successful agents of change in the former Soviet Union." - The Washington Post

They worked to establish independent media in Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Serbia, and beyond—fueling the decline of Moscow’s influence.Image

🧵THREAD: In 2023, David Sacks, the incoming White House AI & Crypto Czar, described how the safety layer of 'ChatGPT is a Democrat':

"There is mounting evidence OpenAI's safety layer is very biased... If you thought trust and safety were bad under Vijaya or Yoel, wait until the AI does it."

@DavidSacks @amuse
#2 Friedberg and Sacks discuss prompt-hacking ChatGPT to jailbreak DAN (Do Anything Now):

"DAN was an attempt to jailbreak the true AI, and its jailkeepers were these trust and safety people at these AI companies."

@friedberg @DavidSacks
#3 @theallinpod discusses Open AI's transition from non-profit to for-profit:

"OpenAI got started because @elonmusk warned that AI was going to take over the world, and he donated a huge amount of money to set up a non-profit to promote AI ethics."
