They should be forced to buy it instead of licensing it.
Of course, they could just steal it, so licensing is better than nothing.
Pfizer gets thier money either way. This way they can just pocket it, and not worry about production.
Yes, but production produces jobs. Oh, never mind. I forgot that everyone who wants to work is working.
With vs from covid, over counting deaths by a factor of several. The pandemic is over when this made the WashPo.

Project Veritas catches senior PFE exec talking about preemptively mutating Covid to plan for new drugs and vaccines. Isn’t that how we got here in the first place?
- Pfizer Video of the Scientist (Jordon Walker) Who Discusses Mutating the Virus at Pfizer to make more vaccines. He calls it “Directed Evolution,” not gain of function. (https://twitter.com/jamesokeefeiii/status/1618419406878433281?s=42&t=d7JkP_-JwEqwu6IhGIGEQA)
the senior Pfizer employee does seem to say damaging things around Pfizer potentially mutating the virus
- Pfizer has issued a public statement here denying gain of function or directed evolution research.

The above Google search results have been scrubbed and Jordan Walker, the PFE exec, is rapidly disappearing from the internet. More commentary.

End of the emergency in May?
I guess it’s so they can open the border.

Is that an actual quote, or paraphrasing? If that was a direct quote, then the administration is clearly trying to bait their opposition into fighting this. Presumably as a deflection from something else…

Here’s the quote from the original article
The end of the PHE will also end the Title 42 policy at the border. The Biden administration said that while it has tried to terminate the policy, it currently remains in place due to court orders. Ending the PHE would “lift Title 42 immediately, and result in a substantial additional inflow of migrants at the Southwest border,” the Biden administration said.
“The Administration supports an orderly, predictable wind-down of Title 42, with sufficient time to put alternative policies in place,” the OMB said, adding that if Title 42 restrictions end abruptly, it would be akin to allowing “thousands of migrants per day into the country immediately without the necessary policies in place.”
Presumably voter registration policies are the ones referred to in the final OMB quote…

Interview / transcript with the above mask study author, how their study was delayed near the start of the pandemic since the editors were probably “pro mask” politically, and similar issues.

Thank you. What a pleasant, very easy to read, interview. No complexities. No words to look up. Just plain talk, and the logic/facts behind the statements.
I really had no clue where to drop this one. But it tangently involves sanitation to kill germs, so COVID it is.
How the hell can bleach be contaminated with bacteria? Isn’t one of the primary uses of bleach to kill bacteria? Is the ingredient they forgot to add the “bleach alternative”, or are they admitting their product is in fact not an alternative to bleach?

LOL. At least their “Antibacterial multi-purpose cleaning products” are not part of the recall.
Most surface cleaners are just colored soapy water with artificial fragrance and a bunch of bad-for-your-health preservatives to prevent bacteria from growing in that water.
No surprises here. China doesn’t want their lab leak investigated, so the WHO gave up.

But Chinese officials rejected the WHO’s plans, taking particular issue with the proposal to investigate lab breaches
