The extensive criminal histories
of the vaccine manufacturers
"Politicians and corporate CEOs, who are offering clever incentives to encourage people to roll up their sleeves for COVID-19 vaccines, tend not to talk about the vaccine companies’ troubling history of illegal business practices including fraudulent marketing, patent infringement, and failing to notify consumers about toxic ingredients.
Between 1991 and 2017, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, and AstraZeneca — three vaccine makers whose COVID vaccines are widely used across the world — have together paid out a total of $8.62 billion to resolve civil and criminal allegations in 67 state and federal settlements. Moderna, a relative newcomer, has come under scrutiny for secrecy about its funding and the results of its clinical trials.
The fraught legal history of the corporations tends to grant legitimacy to the skepticism many feel about the safety and efficacy of the vaccines they have produced.
The current pharmaceutical model is actually deeply flawed, and is driven by the objective to make sky-high returns to shareholders, not a healthier population.”

~Pfizer~
"Here’s a brief glimpse of Pfizer’s track record for safety and ethics.
This is a short list, by no means inclusive of the company’s entire rap sheet.
Pfizer received the biggest fine in U.S. history as part of a $2.3 Billion plea deal with federal prosecutors for mis-promoting medicines (Bextra, Celebrex) and paying kickbacks to compliant doctors.
Pfizer pleaded guilty to mis-branding the painkiller Bextra by promoting the drug for uses for which it was not approved.
In the 1990s, Pfizer was involved in defective heart valves that lead to the deaths of more than 100 people.
Pfizer had deliberately misled regulators about the hazards.
The company agreed to pay $10.75 Million to settle justice department charges for misleading regulators.
Pfizer paid more than $60 Million to settle a lawsuit over Rezulin,
a diabetes medication that caused patients to die from acute liver failure.
In the UK, Pfizer has been fined nearly €90 Million for overcharging the NHS, the National Health Service.
Pfizer charged the taxpayer an additional €48 Million per year for what should have cost €2 million per year.
Pfizer agreed to pay $430 Million in 2004 to settle criminal charges that it had bribed doctors to prescribe its epilepsy drug Neurontin for indications for which it was not approved.
In 2011, a jury found Pfizer committed racketeering fraud in its marketing of the drug Neurontin.
Pfizer agreed to pay $142.1 Million to settle the charges.
Pfizer disclosed that it had paid nearly nearly 4,500 doctors and other medical professionals some $20 Million for speaking on Pfizer’s behalf.
In 2012, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announced that it had reached a $45 Million
settlement with Pfizer to resolve charges that its subsidiaries had bribed overseas doctors and
other healthcare professionals to increase foreign sales.
Nigeria's largest state sued Pfizer for using
200 children as ‘guinea pigs’ without authorisation or parental consent,
under the guise of humanitarian gesture,
for an untested drug called Trovan Floxacin
that led to multiple deaths and deformities.
Eleven of the children died,
while the remaining 181 suffered from deafness,
paralysis, brain damage and blindness.
Pfizer paid $75 Million
to settle in Nigerian court...
Pfizer had violated international law, including the Nuremberg Convention
established after WWII, due to Nazi experiments on unwilling prisoners.
Amid widespread criticism of gouging poor countries for drugs, Pfizer pledged to give $50 million
for an AIDS drug to South Africa. Later, however, Pfizer failed to honor that promise.
Pfizer’s Covid vaccine is being rolled out with nothing but positive press from every mainstream media outlet in the country. Meanwhile, more than half of Americans surveyed have said they will not take a Covid vaccine. The plain fact is that many questions remain unanswered regarding this, or any other, Covid vaccine’s safety and efficacy.
What we do know, from legal history, is that Pfizer’s past transgressions might lead some
reasonable people to question whether or not they will submit to any vaccine made by the company."

~Johnson & Johnson~
"Johnson & Johnson had to pay $2.2 billion to resolve criminal and civil investigations,
which according to court documents, included fines for paying out kickbacks to
doctors and pharmacists for pushing J&J’s toxic drugs on patients.
Many J&J products are not “safe and effective” but rather dangerous and harmful.
The safety of patients has been threatened, and the damage to public trust decimated by J&J. This monopolizing corporation must be held accountable, and by more than just their finances. These fines and penalties are tiny compared to how much money they bankroll off selling and pushing deadly products, medicines, treatments and vaccines. What’s $2.2 billion in damages, or $4.7 billion really, in the grand scheme of things, when J&J’s American conglomerate net worth is $435 billion?
For example, on a similar but smaller scale: If you were an evil corporate guru worth $435 million, and you didn’t care about humans at all, would a fine of $6 million really damage your pocket? No, it wouldn’t.
That’s why J&J will keep on going about their business of manufacturing, marketing, selling and illegally pushing their toxic products and deadly, dirty, blood-clotting vaccines on the public, via doctors, pharmacists, nurses, commercials, faked research and shill scientists.
J&J’s pharmaceutical business that developed the “single-shot” Covid-19 vaccine
made $12 billion in revenue already.
J&J is guilty of putting profit over patients, time and time again.
They are repeat offenders who, if anyone was ever really put in jail, would get life in prison.
But there will be no change in corporate behavior. They will continue to hurt and maim patients because the profits are 100 times greater than the fines. With zero threat of jail time for anyone at J&J, they will continue their mafia-style tactics in the most dangerous of all fields of commerce – medicine.
And now they make vaccines.
J&J’s subsidiary “Janssen” pleaded guilty to misbranding an anti-psychotic drug they made and sold back in 2002 to 2003. Yes, Janssen Pharmaceuticals Inc, the same crooks that just made the Covid-19 vaccine, introduced Risperdal for an unapproved use, instead of just treating schizophrenia or autism, as they were approved (somehow). They made written sales aids for the sales force to market to elderly folks that were not schizophrenic and who did not have autism.
Plus, J&J gave incentives to doctors and pharmacists to recommend this illegal prescribing of Risperdal, just like they’re doing now with the toxic Janssen Covid vaccine. See the pattern? There is a pattern here. Repeat offenders committing criminal acts and being found guilty in court, but nobody who works for J&J goes to prison, ever, for anything.
What a joke our US court system is proving to be when this insidious corporation gets busted for maiming Americans with their products.
J&J’s wrap sheet of crime and abuse by the manufacturing, marketing and selling of faulty, toxic medical and personal care products, including baby products
There are many crimes that land a person in jail or prison for years, some of which are considered “non-violent” crimes, and they include drug possession, fraud, assault, weapons charges, armed robbery, extortion, kidnapping, rape, treason and murder. Surely, some of the J&J crimes fall under these umbrellas, but will anyone ever serve time for the crime? Or is it just all about lawsuits and recalls, because that’s not stopping the J&J criminals from continuing their tyranny.
1995: J&J incurs a $7.5 million fine for destroying documents to cover up an investigation into wrongful marketing of its Retin-A acne cream to remove wrinkles.
2001: J&J pays out a cool $860 million in a class action lawsuit for misleading customers about prematurely discarding its 1-Day Acuvue soft contact lens. J&J recommended they should be worn only once, but then it was discovered the lenses were no different than the regular Acuvue lens that last two weeks.
2010: J&J shells out an $81 million settlement for misbranding its anti-epileptic drug Topamax to treat psychiatric disorders, plus they hired outside physicians to join their sales force to promote the drug for unapproved conditions. Just one year later, J&J paid $85 million for similar charges against its Natrecor, a deadly heart drug.
2011: Several of J&J’s BABY products were discovered to contain carcinogenic ingredients.
2013: The U.S. Justice Department charged J&J $2.2 billion in criminal fines for marketing its autism and anti-psychotic drug Risperdal for unapproved uses.
And now J&J’s Covid-19 vaccine is causing injury and death by causing blood clots, but the CDC says charge forward with them anyway! Who cares how many people die from the vaccine, right? The FDA is forcing J&J to put a warning label on the vaccine insert because they know nobody will read it. That way J&J can go on with the population reduction program using their toxic vaccines and just pay out 1/100th of their profits for injuries and deaths later on down the line."

~AstraZeneca~
In 2010, Pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca paid $520 million in fines
to settle charges by the federal government that it illegally marketed the anti-psychotic drug Seroquel
to children and elderly patients for unapproved uses.
AstraZeneca, one of the biggest drug firms, allegedly pulled in hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars through Medicare and Medicaid kickbacks and scams. Seroquel is used to treat schizophrenia in patients older than 13, and bipolar disorder in patients older than 10.
Seroquel was approved to treat only psychotic disorders, specifically short-term treatments of schizophrenia, bipolar mania and bipolar depression. AstraZeneca intentionally marketed the drugs -- by paying kickbacks to doctors -- for a variety of illnesses for which it had never been tested, including aggression, Alzheimer's, anger management, anxiety, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, dementia, depression, mood disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and sleeplessness. It was given to the elderly, children, veterans and inmates, who were treated as "guinea pigs," according to the acting U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
Under the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, pharmaceutical firms must specify the intended uses of a medicine in its new drug application. Before a drug is approved, the FDA determines that it is safe and effective for the use proposed by the company. Once approved, the drug may not be marketed or promoted for off-label uses.
"These were not victimless crimes -- illegal acts by pharmaceutical companies and false claims against Medicare and Medicaid can put the public health at risk, corrupt medical decisions by health care providers, and take billions of dollars directly out of taxpayers' pockets," Attorney General Eric Holder said at a news conference announcing the settlement.
"This is not the first case of such abuse and it's unlikely to be the last because the settlements are usually "chump change" for such firms", said John Abramson, clinical instructor at Harvard Medical School and author of "Overdo$ed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine.
"As long as the rewards are greater than the penalties for this kind of scientific misrepresentation and fraud, it will continue," he said. "The pharmaceutical industry is playing hardball and they're willing to accept these as long as there are no individual criminal penalties or the financial penalties are so high that shareholders would revolt when these cases of fraud and misrepresentation are settled."
AstraZeneca Faces Seroquel Lawsuits
AstraZeneca paid $355 million in 2003 after pleading guilty to charges that it encouraged physicians to illegally request Medicare reimbursements for its cancer drug Zoladex, and bribed doctors to buy it.
One of the key challenges is that the current law doesn't require pharmaceutical firms to disclose their research and data. So even if they have knowledge that a particular drug is more harmful than originally thought, they may not disclose it.
Because of that, even when pharmaceutical companies find problems with a particular medicine, "they continue to push the drug aggressively and hope they can make a billion dollars before someone finds out," said Jerome Kassirer, professor at Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston.
"When you think about the extent of the money involved in these settlements, it's relatively modest," Kassirer added. "When you think about the total worth of the companies, they can shake off a settlement like this without much in the way of influence on their bottom line or their stock prices. That's one of the reasons why they keep doing this."
Another problem is that because this data is not available to doctors, many of them can easily be duped without realizing they are being manipulated.
The company targeted its illegal marketing of Seroquel towards doctors who do not typically treat schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, such as physicians who treat the elderly, primary care physicians, pediatric and adolescent physicians, and in long-term care facilities and prisons, according to the charges. Some doctors were paid cash, others were sent to lavish resorts to encourage them to market and prescribe the drugs for unapproved uses.
"It's an enormous problem and it's much more than a financial problem," Harvard's Abramson said. "The real issue is that doctors are being manipulated in prescribing very potent medicines. ... The real issue is the consequences to people's health."
