Operation Warp Speed


Well as you may have guessed from this image Operation Warp Speed is not a review of a Star Trek film or TV series. Rather it is the name given by the American government to a project that injects monetary incentives into the development of a Covid19 vaccine. GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson recently pledged to supply covid19 vaccines on a no-profit basis to improve access to any successful vaccine when it is available in the market. Pascal Soriot, executive director and chief executive officer (CEO) of AstraZeneca, said at a global press briefing: " “It’s certainly a situation where we will not charge any royalty and make no profit during the time of this pandemic."

So what precisely do the pharma companies mean by "No Profit Basis" Will they be making profits during the development? Operation Warp Speed has awarded almost $11 billion to 7 different companies to develop vaccines. However, accelerating development process has increased likelihood of cronyism + undue political influence. ( Robert F Kennedy Jr, August 2020). Gerald Posner, author of “Pharma: Greed, Lies, and the Poisoning of America.” has highlighted that the American National Institutes of Health have since the 1930s, spent about $930 billion of government money in research. Between 2010 and 2016, every single drug that won approval from the FDA — 210 different pharmaceuticals — grew at least in part out of research funded by the NIH. With NIH funding the financial risks to pharma companies are minimal and the opportunity for profit great.

But did the pharma industry not just say they "will not charge any royalty and make no profit during the time of this pandemic."? Well here is the kick in the teeth. Who will declare the pandemic over and how will that decision be arrived at? How many courses of treatment will be required to maintain immunity, will the vaccine have to be administered at 5-10 year intervals to ensure immunity is effective. David Whitrap, Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER) vice president of communications has stated that “We might need several vaccines,” Vaccines to protect the healthy with regular boosters while those already infected and sick will require treatment through pharma manufactured drug therapies. In over 100 years vaccines have only ever eradicated 2 diseases out of potentially 100 million. That fact alone should raise alarm bells regarding how quickly we are being told that we will have a vaccine for Covid-19. So why is all this important companies need to make profits and the world needs cures. The reason it is important is because of how vaccines, treatments and measures taken to reduce the impact of this so-called pandemic are presented to the public. News.Com.Au published an article on the 19th of August by Doctor Zac Turner. The article was an attempt to smear anyone with concerns about a Covid-19 as "Anti-Vaxxers" and Zac Turner demanded that the Australian government introduce draconian measures to enforce mandatory vaccinations. In the article Turner states that to achieve herd immunity and completely eradicate the transmission of COVID-19, Australia would need about 80 to 95 per cent of its population vaccinated. He goes onto to say that the vaccine is required to protect 2-5% of the population who cannot be vaccinated due to health reasons. So only 2-5% are at risk of serious health problems yet over 90% of us need to be vaccinated? What the article does not mention or ask is how many people have already been infected and are asymptomatic (no symptoms). This is important because there is a possibility that herd immunity might have already been achieved through the natural progression of the virus. In recent weeks deaths from Covid-19 have been falling but the number of cases have been rising. The reasons for this could be twofold the people most at risk have unfortunately succumbed to the virus while those less susceptible remain healthy. With increased testing we will naturally record more cases but this does not necessarily equate to more fatalities. Back to good old Dr Zac Turner who continues his attacks on those with concerns: "I believe a person who refuses to be vaccinated should not be allowed to travel interstate or overseas, nor be allowed to travel on public transport without a face mask. And when it comes to the private sector, businesses could refuse these anti-vaxxers from visiting their retail outlets, gyms, movie cinemas, restaurants, bars or nightclubs." What I would like to point out here is that not only is he wanting to torture people into submission the media (Google, Twitter, YouTube) are already suppressing scientists, doctors and academics who speak out against the current overriding narrative.

That is the sort of message you will receive if you follows links on twitter to articles or videos that challenge the CDC and the WHO. When I think of the suppression of knowledge the regime that springs to mind for me is the one run by these guys!

The article by Turner is not long winded but it is significant because there are 4 important issues that need to be considered. The first is the attempted suppression of knowledge by smearing. The second is the legitimisation of vaccines, apologies here is Turner's exact words: "25 million doses of a potential COVID-19 vaccine." Yes you read it correctly he is promoting a non-existent vaccine a drug that may or may not have potential. Thirdly and it only comes to light at the end of the article Dr Zac Turner who is advocating the 25 million doses of potential, used to work for AstraZeneca! The final issue is this, Turner's recommendation of torture. Amnesty International have defined draconian measures such as the one's proposed by Turner a torture that: "is simply used as a punishment that spreads fear in society." Conclusion I hope you will share this article with others. Even if after you have read it and perhaps disagree with my ramblings. The point of these ramblings is to demonstrate that there are alternative voices and these are not the voices of clowns but doctors, scientists and academics.
