Big Pharma is America’s new mafia whose chemical warfare on humanity dwarfs the number of victims killed by all the world wars and acts of terrorism combined. While drug companies profit billions, people are dying by the millions. It makes you wonder if Pharmageddon is upon us with the next set of mandatory vaccinations planned by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) for the profit of drug companies.
There is a war raging for control of your bloodstream and it is led by the FDA, CDC, WHO, and Big Pharma, and it looks as if they are winning.
Over 70% of Americans are on some form of pharmaceutical drug that often brings negative side-effects, including death. Iatrogenic death, or “death by doctor”, is considered the third leading cause of death in America, conservatively speaking. Some experts interpret the data to read iatrogenic death as the number one cause of death, and they have a great deal of evidence to back up the claim. These statistics suggest that we should change the name “health industry” to “illness industry.”
Conservative estimates suggest that America spends about 20% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on health costs, about $3.35 trillion this year, which works out to $10,345 for every man, woman and child. Hospitals account for about 32%, doctors for 20%, and prescription drugs 10%. Spending on prescription drugs in the U.S. rose to a record $425 billion in 2016.
The vaccine business alone is currently a $30 billion per year industry and the World Health Organization has urged increased vaccines, projecting that it will become a $100 billion per year industry by 2025. (See Global Vaccine Markets Features and Trends in stunning report.)
It is evident that the federal CDC and their business partners need the public to “be okay” with the current 69 doses of recommended childhood vaccines, plus adherence for an additional 100 plus doses of vaccines recommended by the CDC’s new adult schedule. Folks, they want us to inject our families with the additional 271 vaccines that are in the development pipeline. But nowhere on the CDC’s web site can you find a disclosure that the agency is a for-profit partner with the vaccine makers for whom it is supposed to be providing federal safety oversight.
There are 57 granted U.S. patents with the CDC listed as an assignee. Some of the vaccine patents include: Flu, Rotavirus, Hepatitis A, HIV, Anthrax, Rabies, Dengue fever, West Nile virus, Group A Strep, Pneumococcal disease, Meningococcal disease, RSV, Gastroenteritis, Japanese encephalitis, SARS, Rift Valley Fever, and chlamydophila pneumoniae, flavivirus infection, human rhinovirus, adjuvants, Canarypox virus, Fowlpox virus, Sealpox virus, and dog flu.
Key Point: The CDC is a pharmaceutical company in the business of profiting from illnesses they disseminate through their own vaccines while they regulate their own corporate interests.
Big Pharma is Big Business
Big Pharma is the moniker given to the world’s vast and influential pharmaceutical industry and its trade group, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America or PhRMA. These powerful companies make hundreds of billions of dollars every year by selling drugs and medical devices. More than 20% of America’s GDP is related to the health industry. In the U.S., the industry contributes heavily to the annual budget of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which is charged with regulating drugs and devices made by those same companies. The industry boldly demonstrates its power, political might, and social influence over the nation’s governments and agencies, its health care systems, its doctors and hospitals, as well as the psyche of the American people.
The global market for pharmaceuticals topped $1 trillion in sales in 2014. The world’s 10 largest drug companies generated $429.4 billion of that revenue. Five of the top 10 companies are headquartered in the U.S. are Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Abbot Laboratories, Merck, and Eli Lilly.
With the help of staggering profits and 1,100-plus paid lobbyists, the industry has gained powerful leverage on Capitol Hill. From 1998 to 2014, Big Pharma spent nearly $2.9 billion on lobbying expenses — more than any other industry. The industry also doled out more than $15 million in campaign contributions from 2013-14. But the large amount of cash Big Pharma bestows on government representatives and regulatory bodies is small when compared with the billions it spends each year on direct-to-consumer advertising. The U.S. is one of only two countries in the world whose governments allow prescription drugs to be advertised on TV. A single manufacturer, Boehringer Ingelheim, spent $464 million advertising its blood thinner Pradaxa in 2011. The following year, the drug passed the $1 billion sales mark.
Big Pharma tends to weaken the objectivity of even the most honest health professionals while encouraging them to overprescribe medications. Consider the numbers:
Advertising instead of research: For every $1 spent on “basic research,” Big Pharma spends $19 on promotions and advertising.
Distribution of free drug samples: The U.S. has one pharmaceutical sales representative for every five office-based physicians.
Sponsorship of symposiums and medical conventions: Drug and medical device makers spend lavishly on doctors, including covering meals, travel, seminars and conventions that sometimes look more like vacations.
Many medical journals, including the industry standard bearer Journal of the American Medical Association, actively vie for the attention of Big Pharma advertising dollars, billing themselves as the best way for drug companies to reach their professional readership.
The United States, unlike other developed countries, allows pharmaceutical companies to charge whatever they want, if they do not collude with one another in setting the prices. In other words, these companies can charge whatever the market will bear. For example, Solvadi, Gilead’s hepatitis C drug, costs $1,000 for each pill, which amounted to sales of $3.5 billion between April and June of 2015.
Congress, influenced by pharmaceutical lobbyists, has not allowed Medicare to negotiate drug prices, as do most health care systems, HMOs, and some insurance companies. In those countries that negotiate the prices of their national insurance plans with Big Pharma, most drugs sell for much less.
In the November 2015, $150 billion merger of U.S.-based Pfizer and Irish-based Allergen, a move known as an “inversion transaction,” Pfizer gave up its corporate citizenship in the United States so that it could reduce its tax bill by billions. Another effect of mergers is the reduction in the number of competitors, which has led to the doubling or tripling of drug prices and, in some cases, to a 1000% increase in cost. Normally, new drug prices are set only slightly higher than those of rival drugs already on the market, which typically ends up raising the price of the older drug. But if a company has few competitors or merges with its competitor, the resulting lack of, or diminished, competition means that the price of a drug can be whatever the company wants.
Big Pharma is an industry that generates higher profit margins than any other and is no stranger to multi-billion dollar fines for malpractice, collusion, and over-charging–just a cost of doing business. Average profit margins for Big Pharma ranges from 42% to 10% with an average around 20%. Pfizer, the world’s largest drug company, made a 42% profit margin this year. Last year, five pharmaceutical companies made a profit margin of 20% or more – Pfizer, Hoffmann-La Roche, AbbVie, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and Eli Lilly. With some drugs costing upwards of $100,000 for a full course, and with the cost of manufacturing just a tiny fraction of this, it’s not hard to see why profits are so high.
Iatrogenic Death by Doctor
Iatrogenic damage (defined as a state of ill health or adverse effect resulting from medical treatment) is the third leading cause of death in the U.S., after heart disease and cancer. This means that doctors and hospitals are responsible for more deaths each year than cerebrovascular disease, chronic respiratory diseases, accidents, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease and pneumonia.
The combined effect of errors and adverse effects that occur because of iatrogenic damage include:
12,000 deaths/year from unnecessary surgery
7,000 deaths/year from medication errors in hospitals
20,000 deaths/year from other errors in hospitals
80,000 deaths/year from nosocomial infections in hospitals
106,000 deaths a year from non-error, adverse effects of medications
From 1976 to 2006, 62 million death certificates were coded as having occurred in a hospital setting due to medication errors. Imagine what those numbers will be for the next three decades 2007-2037! An estimated 450,000 preventable medication-related adverse events occur in the U.S. every year. The costs of adverse drug reactions to society are more than $136 billion annually — greater than the total cost of cardiovascular or diabetic care. Adverse drug reactions cause injuries or death in one of five hospital patients.
In 2009, there were 4.6 million drug-related visits to U.S. emergency rooms nationwide, with more than half due to adverse reactions to prescription medications – most of which were being taken exactly as prescribed. Heroin deaths in America in that year were 12,989. Deaths from synthetic opioids, including illicit fentanyl were 9,580. Abuse of drugs like Oxycontin and Vicodin killed 17,536. These are stats that we could glean from our internet searches. We surmise that these figures will be much higher once newer statistics are released, if they are ever released accurately and promptly.
There is also “iatrogenic poverty” to describe impoverishment induced by medical care. Impoverishment is described for households exposed to catastrophic health expenditures or to hardship financing. In the USA, illness and medical debt causes half of the personal bankruptcy.
It is estimated that 400,000 unnecessary deaths happen in American hospitals annually. It is the third leading cause of death in the United States. Some studies show that about 1.14 million patient-safety incidents occurred among the 37 million hospitalizations in the Medicare population alone over a two-year period. But after all these iatrogenic events, less than 20,000 malpractice suits are brought against doctors each year.
Doctor Induced Illness
The main cause of a cascade of injury in iatrogenic medicine is by misdiagnosis and medical error. From medical error flows a cascade of effects and results often including pain, disability, loss of job, poverty and homelessness which obviously cause mental health problems and may cause death. In medicine, a cascade effect may also refer to a chain of events initiated by an unnecessary test, an unexpected result, or patient or physician anxiety, which results in ill-advised tests or treatments that may cause harm to patients as the results are pursued.
Adverse reactions in hospitals to prescribed drugs is conservatively estimated to be 2.2 million per year.
The number of unnecessary antibiotics prescribed annually for viral infections is 20 million per year.
The number of unnecessary medical and surgical procedures performed annually is 7.5 million per year.
The number of people exposed to unnecessary hospitalization annually is 8.9 million per year.
The total number of deaths caused by conventional medicine is estimated by some to be 783,936 per year.
Pharmageddon 1
Skull and cross bones with medical icons
If these estimates are true, the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the U.S. By contrast, the number of deaths attributable to heart disease annually is estimated at 699,697, while the number of deaths attributable to cancer is estimated at 553,250. The cost per year for treating avoidable doctor induced injuries is estimated to be over $282 billion per year.
Vaccinations in America
American vaccination programs are out of control. The rise in the number of vaccines administered to American children in their first five years makes America the leader in the number of immunizations administered to children. The CDC Childhood Immunization schedule skyrocketed from 11 injections in 1983 to 36 or more injections as of 2015. Recently, California Governor Jerry Brown signed bill SB277 into law, which took effect July 1, 2016. The law is “one of the most far-reaching vaccination laws in the nation which barred religious and other personal-belief exemptions for schoolchildren, thus taking away America civil rights.
“No shot.
No daycare.
No school.
Every child.
Every vaccine.”
Such a harmful and unconstitutional law is like declaring Marshal Law over the American bloodstream.
Critical reports are showing that the commonly-accepted procedure of administering vaccines to children in their infancy dramatically increases risk to their systems. Corresponding to this rise in the number of vaccines was a precipitous rise in allergies, autoimmune disease, asthma, and autism. Autism affected a scant 1 in 10,000 children in 1982, where now 1 in 88 children born in the U.S. is diagnosed with autism.
Vaccine Poisons
The connection to autism has already been repeatedly established, and there are many other conditions caused by vaccines. Permanent paralysis (Guillain Barré syndrome) is surprisingly common as a side-effect of the flu vaccine. Vaccines are said to prevent certain diseases. However, the chance of contracting these diseases is incredibly remote, and the iatrogenic side-effects from vaccines are so common that overall vaccines cause much more harm than good. In some cases, vaccines infect patients with the very diseases that they were meant to offer protection from, because they utilize live viral strains.
The following substances are found in one or more “mandatory” vaccines given to children during the most sensitive years of their life. Mercury alone causes enough side-effects that it should be simple to understand that all vaccines should be optional or simply banned altogether. The list below contains deadly poisons, carcinogens and other unassimilable substances found in vaccines:
Aborted baby fetus tissue, human albumin, formaldehyde, mercury, antifreeze, aluminum, 2-phenoxyethanol, phenol, methanol, borax , glutaraldehyde, monosodium glutamate , sulfate and phosphate compound, ammonium sulfate, gentamicin sulfate, neomycin sulfate, tributylphosphate, polymyxin B, polysorbate 20/80, sorbitol , polyribosylribitol, beta-propiolactone, amphotericin B, animal organ tissue and blood, large foreign proteins, latex, animal viruses, human viruses, mycoplasma, genetically engineered yeast, and foreign DNA, among others.
