COVID-19 – The
Fight for a Cure: One Gigantic Western Pharma
Rip-Off

A few days
ago, Dr. Tedros,
the Director General of the World Health
Organization (WHO) repeated what he said already a
few weeks ago, that there are about 20
pharmaceutical laboratories throughout the world
that are developing a vaccine for the novel
coronavirus, named COVID-19, also called 2019-nCOV,
or SARS-CoV-2. For the layman, it is just a stronger
mutation of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)
virus, that broke out in 2002 / 2003, also in China.
To be sure, a mutation made in a laboratory. In a US
high-security biological warfare laboratory. In
other words, both SARS and COVID-19 – among many
other bio-war agents – were made in the US.
And now, the
chaotic western-style race of private corporations
for a vaccine wanting to outdo one another, has
begun.
Who
is first to develop a vaccine?
– It’s a fierce competition to establish a patent, a
monopoly – for a possibly multi trillion-dollar
business. Its western neoliberal capitalism at its
very worst – or best, depending on the angle from
where one looks.
There are no
words to describe this chaotic fever for profit over
human wellbeing. It has nothing to do with health,
with healing sick and suffering, possibly dying
people. It’s all about money. Hundreds of billions,
if not trillion of profit for the pharmaceutical
oligarch and their associated research laboratories
and enterprises. And even more so, if the
WHO-declared “pandemic” (sic) will prompt a forced
vaccination campaign, enhanced by military and
police surveillance.
Let’s put
COVID-19 in context. As of 23 March 2020 (18:33
GMT), and according to WHO statistics, reported
worldwide cases are 372,572; deaths 16,313;
recovered 101,373 – a death rate of 4.37%. However,
these figures must be considered with caution. In
many countries, especially developing economies,
accurate testing may be a problem. Test kits are
often not available, or not reliable. So, may people
who go to the doctor with some flu symptoms are
possibly falsely diagnosed as COVID-19 victims, as
it serves the publicity hype.
Miscalculations and false reporting may even occur
in the United States.
Mr. Robert Redfield,
CEO of the US Center for Disease Control (CDC),
testified before Congress that CDC does no longer
carry out regular tests, that these were carried out
at State-level and only in extreme cases. See also
