Turning off the immune system is intentional. That way they can sell your immune system back to you as a subscription service via monthly booster shots. Now you know why they spent so much money to bribe government officials the world over.
Yes, exactly. Pfizer is making bank off of its non-covid drugs, for instance, the ones that are taken to ameliorate myocarditis symptoms and anti-coagulants.
Big Pharma is just off the charts evil at this point.
In my days as a young lefty during the Bush regime, I had no clue it was possible for US industry to be *this much more evil* than big oil. Let alone that it would be fellow lefties who went on to be its strongest useful idiots.
I too was a young lefty back then! A look at hospitals gives one a clue about how evil Big Pharma has become -- even in poor areas, they are always the size of small cities, always expanding, and staffed to the gills.
The military industrial complex was/is pure evil, obviously. Most of the left seemed to get that. I wondered what the actual frack was wrong with the right that they couldn't SEE something so obvious.

The people who fell for both lies are easier to understand - some people are just very naive and trust all authority.
But how do people see through one set of obvious lies, and fall for the other?? It makes no sense to me. You think the the military OR the pharmaceutical industrial complex is obviously a bunch of corrupt greedy organizations run by lying sociopaths....but you DON'T think that the other one is too? Really?? WHY?
I was amazed at all of my vegan friends (now former friends) who spent decades battling the machine and then promptly bent over to accommodate anything and everything the machine wanted to stick in them. Belief in Progress is a hell of a drug.
There seems to be a connection between atheism and an obsession with health and safety. Perhaps it's because of a fear of death. Maybe the dividing line isn't between deplorable and PMC but between belief in an afterlife and belief in becoming worm food (as my co-worker calls her death.)
Yes, exactly. If you believe you only live once, the idea of death after having all of your perks and creature comforts stripped away because is absolutely terrifying.
Given what we've seen about the incompetence in Pfizer's clinical trials, I don't think they're as competent as that. I think they're more like Keystone Kops.
I'm sure they don't mind making more money from their side-effect-treating drugs, though. This is not exactly an incentive to them to become more competent with their vaccine!

I'd extend it to the pharmaceutical companies in general...
Speaking of that, my mom just relayed a story from my Rust Belt hometown (i.e., opioid pandemic central) of a doctor prescribing Oxycontin to a three-year old for pain from hand, foot, and mouth disease! Luckily, the parents refused to give it to her, but can you imagine giving opioids to a toddler?!? The pharmaceutical companies have learned nothing.
