Pfizer Moves to Intervene in High-Profile Case Dealing With COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Data

"Pfizer has asked a federal court to let it intervene in a high-profile case that has seen U.S. drug regulators try to slow-walk disclosure of data on Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine.

Pfizer says it supports disclosing the data but wants to ensure that information exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is not “disclosed inappropriately.” (snip)

Plaintiffs, though, asked (Judge) Pittman to reject Pfizer’s bid."

The Zhou regime is batting zero, which is pretty impressive given basic mathematical odds.

We can all clearly see desperation setting in, so what is everyone's guess as to the next pivot/manufactured crisis/fear machine?

My guess is a tripling down on 'climate change' or 'climate disaster' headlines.

With all due respect to the guy from Pfizer, this comment really p***** me off. "We have to be willing to relax some of these measures with the same speed that we put them in place.” The longer this goes on the less I listen to charlatans like this. Who is this "we" they speak of? God! Please make it stop. Sorry for the rant but... :)

Exactly T. Paine, that's how I know I have a sketchy gaslighter on my hands, if I am given pause to ask myself just exactly whom he/she means by "we" or "us".

Excellent mini history lesson of the disastrous expansion eastwards of NATO: https://www.americanpurpose.com/articles/anatomy-of-a-blunder/

Unfortunately, domestic politics have always intruded into foreign policy. Very pertinently, recall the "Chicken Kiev" taunts directed at Bush1 by Dems and Neocons. Today, we have quite a few GOP/Neocon warmongers deriding Zhou for softness, while others attempt to address the merits of past and present Russia policy, as Mandelbaum does.

People should have listened to Pat Buchanan, his idea was to fold up NATO after the Soviet Union went away. I just dusted off and read my hardcover copy of Buchanan's 1999 book "A Republic Not an Empire", his predictions have almost always proven to be correct.

“Something’s going on.”

Indeed. The Bai Den admin in epic collapse. FTR - “a minor incursion” is like being “a little bit pregnant.”

Talk about parsing words! Last I heard something near this was Slick Willie with “Now that depends on what the meaning of “is” is.”

Well said, Rascal. Reminds me of Montaigne's (?) quip about French intellectuals being monkeys in a tree, the higher they climb the more of their asses you see.
