Covid-19 Vaccine Injury Program Hit With Federal Lawsuit

COURT: W.D. La.

TRACK DOCKET: No. 3:23-cv-01425

Individuals who say they were injured by Covid-19 vaccines are suing the Biden administration over a payout process that shields drug companies from lawsuits, saying it’s unconstitutional and deprives them of their right to a jury trial.

People claiming they’ve suffered harm from Pfizer Inc., Moderna Inc., and Johnson & Johnson vaccines are suing the Department of Health and Human Services over its Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program. Created in 2010 for sudden health crises like Ebola, filings with the CICP surged in 2020 as the Covid-19 pandemic overtook the US.

COVID vaccine injury lawsuit surge: DOJ's hiring lawyers, but what about Big Pharma?

The hiring spree is in anticipation of more lawsuits, on the heels of one filed in Louisiana last month by six vaccine-injured plaintiffs against the federal government, which aims to overturn the legal immunity that Big Pharma now has.

By Alan Goforth | November 17, 2023 at 11:14 AM

The Biden administration is beefing up its legal team to handle a rising number of lawsuits over COVID-19 vaccines.

The Justice Department recently posted an online ad on LinkedIn seeking eight trial attorneys to work on cases under the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP). This program provides compensation for covered serious injuries or deaths that occur as the result of the administration or use of certain countermeasures regarding government COVID-19 vaccine mandates. The compensation may include unreimbursed medical expenses, lost employment income and the survivor death benefit.

Pfizer Layoffs Confirmed As Vaccine Manufacturer Drives For Cost Savings

Q.ai - Powering a Personal Wealth Movement

Nov 1, 2023,

Key takeaways

Pfizer is laying off an undisclosed amount of employees after confirming it’s shutting down its New Jersey facility

Two other facilities are closing in North Carolina, with other layoffs in Illinois and Colorado

Pfizer’s share price was flat as the company reported a narrower-than-expected loss for the third quarter

Pfizer has confirmed it’s laying off more staff as the company struggles to reckon with poor Covid sales after the world moved on. Staff from its New Jersey facility will be either relocated or have their employment terminated, with no news yet on the full headcount affected.

The pharmaceutical giant’s third-quarter results reflected a poor showing for Covid vaccine sales, with Pfizer’s share price ending Tuesday trading flat. But Pfizer has a few tricks up its sleeve that Wall Street is paying attention to for next year.

Here’s the latest on the Pfizer layoffs, the company’s financial situation and what the stock market reaction looked like.

What’s happening with Pfizer layoffs?

Pfizer has confirmed it will be downsizing its operations in New Jersey, and layoffs will happen as a result. Pfizer’s Peapack, New Jersey facility will be shut down in early 2024, with the job losses expected to come into effect in February 2024.

It was initially reported that the company would be laying off 800 workers, but Pfizer has confirmed it doesn’t have final figures yet on how many jobs will be axed. A company spokesperson said the “vast majority” of workers will be reassigned to Pfizer’s New York office instead and that the Peapack facility’s closure was first communicated in 2021.

Pfizer had already conducted layoffs at its Illinois base over the summer, where around 70 employees were fired. Early October also saw an undisclosed number of layoffs at the company’s Colorado location. Two further facilities will be closing in North Carolina, according to recent reports.

Pfizer’s latest financial results

The warning signs were on the horizon as Pfizer reported its third-quarter earnings expectations in October. The Covid vaccine producer slashed its full-year forecast by 13%, saying it now anticipates revenue of between $58 billion and $61 billion, down from its previous forecast of between $67 billion and $70 billion.

Pfizer also said it would take a non-cash charge of $5.5 billion in the third quarter to write of $4.6 billion worth of the antiviral treatment Paxlovid and $900 million in miscellaneous inventory write-offs. The only bright spot in the report was that Pfizer expected to see its non-Covid products reach 6% to 8% revenue growth year-over-year in 2023.

As a result, the company confirmed it was looking to make $3.5 billion in cost savings by the end of 2024. Pfizer plans to make $1 billion of the savings by the end of 2023.

"We remain proud that our scientific breakthroughs played a significant role in getting the global health crisis under control,"Pfizer CEO Albert Boura said in a press statement, confirming the company needed “additional clarity around vaccination and treatment rates for COVID”.

Pfizer’s share price fell around 7% at the time…

Congress Warned About Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine

Story by Andrew Rodriguez • 4d

During a hearing in Washington, Dr. Robert Malone, a key figure in mRNA technology, expressed concerns about the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccinecontaining DNA fragments, potentially linked to unusual cancers and miscarriages.

The FDA has stated no safety concerns, but Dr. Malone called for rigorous testing.

Independent scientists detectedthe DNA fragments, prompting questions about vaccine safety and transparency. (Trending: Court Hands Down Crucial 2nd Amendment Ruling)

“That’s a proven genotoxicity risk,” Dr. Malone warned.

“I speculate that what we may find is that the cancer risk here may be partially attributed to these DNA contaminations; that would be consistent with the peer reviewed literature,” he continued.

Adding, “And by the way, these DNA fragments may also be shown to contribute to genetic anomalies in fetus[es], which is one of the most prominent causes of premature abortion.”

“The rules are that you don’t draw conclusions without data,” insisted the polarizing doctor.

“Normally, historically, one has to perform rigorous genotoxicity and insertional mutagenesis assays,” buthe claims that this process is not being conducted by the FDA.

West wants younger blood in Ukraine’s army – Moscow

The US and its allies expect Kiev to refill the depleted ranks with teenagers, the elderly, and women, Russia's SVR intelligence agency has said

Washington and London want Kiev to further expand its mobilization efforts, following the stalled summer counteroffensive, to supposedly demonstrate Russia’s “inability to prevail” in the Ukraine conflict, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) claimed in a statement on Monday.

One of the suggestions backed by Western nations allegedly involvesaltering the draft agein Ukraine to allow Kiev to call up teenagers and the elderly.

The drastic measures are needed to substitute the heavy losses the Ukrainian troops have sustained during the largely unsuccessful summer offensive, the statement added. According to Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu, Ukrainian forces lost more than 90,000 service members over the course of the operation between June and October alone.

“The American and British curators recommend that the Ukrainian … leadership lower the [minimum] draft age to 17 years and increase [the maximum one] to 70 years, as well as call more women to arms,” the SVR said in the statement, citing “reliable data” it obtained.

The statement came the same day that Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin arrived in Kiev on a surprise visit. Austin met the Ukrainian leadership, including President Vladimir Zelensky, and discussed Western military aid to Ukraine, while reiterating the “steadfast support” of the US and its allies. No remarks regarding the potential new draft policy were made public.

The SVR pointed to aUkrainian bill proposing an increase in the draft age ceilingas an example of potential mobilization policy changes. The legislation mentioned by the Russian intelligence was introduced to the Ukrainian parliament in September and suggests allowing men older than 60 to join the army ranks on a voluntary basis. The elderly volunteers would have to be deemed fit for service by a military medical commission and have prior military experience, as well as be considered sufficiently qualified, the draft bill says.

Under the proposed amendments to the existing laws, men would be able to serve as privates up to the age of 65 and as military commanders up to the age of 70 if they met all criteria. The authors of the bill claimed that “many people [of that age] are willing to join the army ranks.”

In October, Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Natalya Kalmykova said that “tens, hundreds of thousands of people” were dodging the draft in Ukraine. The Ukrainian media also reported in early November that as many as 8,000 Ukrainians were facing criminal charges for draft evasion.

Kiev is also increasingly relying on women to fill the army ranks, the SVR said in its report, citing “Western estimates” suggesting thatmore than 40,000 womenwere serving in the country’s forces. Earlier, similar figures were mentioned by the Brussels Times, which said that the Ukrainian army had around 40,000 female service members, including 8,000 female officers. More than5,000 Ukrainian womenwere taking part in combat operations on thefront lines, the media outlet said, citing Ukrainian general Sergey Naev.

The actions of Kiev show that it is “ready to continue to fight ‘to the last Ukrainian’ in the name of Western interests,” the SVR said.

Mike Lee Asks Liz Cheney The One Question She’s Scared to Answer

by: Cassie Cole 11/20/2023 Source: Western Journal

Liz Cheney is currently facing significant scrutiny for her handling of the January 6th investigation, which many are calling a sham. The recent release of all footage by Speaker Johnson has shed light on previously hidden details, revealing how the narrative was manipulated to fit a certain agenda. Adding to the pressure, Senator Mike Lee put Cheney in a difficult position by posing a question she seems reluctant to answer.

From Western journal:

If former Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney is as conservative or as Republican as she claims… she sure has a funny way of showing it.

The embattled ex-representative has become something of a persona non grata within the GOP thanks to her incessant belittling of her own party.

(She was never going to be embraced by Democrats en masse due to both the “R” and the last name it’s next to.)

The latest, and most exhausting, example of Cheney’s continued descent into being a woman without a political party came on Friday, when the former vice chair of the January 6 Committee couldn’t help but comment about the bombshell video dump spearheaded by the new Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson.

And in classic Cheney fashion, she did it with some snide subtext:

Here’s some January 6th video for you.

pic.twitter.com/MReMysC534

— Liz Cheney (@Liz_Cheney) November 17, 2023

Cheney’s not-so-subtle jab at people who care about Jan. 6 transparency did not go unnoticed, as Utah Sen. Mike Lee swiftly slammed Cheney on X.

“Liz, we’ve seen footage like that a million times,” Lee posted. “You made sure we saw that — and nothing else. It’s the other stuff — what you deliberately hid from us — that we find so upsetting. Nice try.

“P.S. How many of these guys are feds? (As if you’d ever tell us).”

Indeed, that's the million-dollar question: How many of those involved in the January 6th events were federal agents, and was Liz Cheney aware of their presence along with her colleagues on the committee?

VIDEO:Liberals bawled their eyes out after Javier Milei’s massive victory…

November 21, 2023 (9 hours ago)

Argentina is on the brink of a significant transformation, thanks to the recent election of their new right-wing leader, Javier Milei. As the country’s new president, Milei is drawing comparisons to Brazil’s Bolsonaro, with many referring to him as the “next Trump” as well.

Travis in Flint:

Meet Javier Milei, the next President of Argentina. He will now be the worlds first Libertarian head of state. The people of Argentina had a choice between a far left economy minister who’s destroying the country or a Libertarian ready to fix the country.

Currently Argentina has 140% inflation and 40% of the country lives below the poverty line. The people showed up last night and sent a message to the ruling class.

Milei considers gender education in school brainwashing, is hesitant of Covid vaccines, doesn’t believe in climate change, and believes criminals shouldn’t be allowed to immigrate to his country.

I think it’s safe to say people are openly starting to reject the elitist WEF agenda. Who’s ready for Trump 2024?

This development signals a massive shift in Argentina’s political landscape and a huge victory for the right-wing cause. And speaking of President Trump, he couldn’t be happier about Milei’s win.

This election really hit the globalists hard, right at their core.

He is Javier Milei, Argentina’s next president.

A few years ago, Milei was a television talking head whom bookers loved because his screeds against government spending and the ruling political class boosted ratings. At the time, and up until mere months ago, hardly any political expert believed he had a real shot at becoming president of South America’s second-largest economy.

Milei is hitting the ground running. He’s set on dismantling the failed globalist influence and is committed to restoring Argentina’s greatness.

The left-wingers are absolutely devastated by this major right-wing win, to the point of tears. It’s quite a delicious sight, reminiscent of the 2016 reaction to President Trump’s election win.

This man is the crazy capitalist that Argentina needs at this moment—and a political maverick who will shake up the global political scene and bring liberals to tears.

https://revolver.news/2023/11/video-liberals-bawled-their-eyes-out-after-javier-mileis-massive-victory/

>>19952813

I’ve searched for an hour to find out of Milei is part of WEF and I can’t find a current list at all. Did the anon that stated he was a member of WEF with proof? Or innuendo?I didn't see any proof that he is a current member, that they anon thinks? None so find me a list anon or its just a smear job!

How OpenAI so royally screwed up the Sam Altman firing

David Goldman1/2

OpenAI’s overseers worried that the company was making the technological equivalent of a nuclear bomb, and its caretaker, Sam Altman, was moving so fast that he risked a global catastrophe.

So the board fired him. That may ultimately have been the logical solution.

But the manner in which Altman was fired – abruptly, opaquely and without warning to some of OpenAI’s largest stakeholders and partners – defied logic. And it risked inflicting more damage than if the board took no such action at all.

A company’s board of directors has an obligation, first and foremost, to its shareholders. OpenAI’s most important shareholder is Microsoft, the company that gave Altman & Co. $13 billion to help Bing, Office, Windows and Azure leapfrog Google and stay ahead of Amazon, IBM and other AI wannabes.

Yet Microsoft was not informed of Altman’s firing until “just before” the public announcement, according to CNN contributor Kara Swisher, who spoke to sources knowledgeable about the board’s ousting of its CEO. Microsoft’s stock sank after Altman was let go.

Employees weren’t told the news ahead of time, either. Neither was Greg Brockman, the company’s co-founder and former president, who said in a post on X that he found out about Altman’s firing moments before it happened. Brockman, a key supporter of Altman and his strategic leadership of the company, resigned Friday. Other Altman loyalists also headed for the exits.

Suddenly, OpenAI was in crisis. Reports that Altman and ex-OpenAI loyalists were about to start their own venture risked undoing everything that the company had worked so hard to achieve over the past several years.

So a day later, the board reportedly asked for a mulligan and tried to woo Altman back. It was a shocking turn of events and an embarrassing self-own by a company that its widely regarded as the most promising producer of the most exciting new technology.

Strange board structure

The bizarre structure of OpenAI’s board complicated matters.

The company is a nonprofit. But Altman, Brockman and Chief Scientist Ilya Sutskever in 2019 formed OpenAI LP, a for-profit entity that exists within the larger company’s structure. That for-profit company took OpenAI from worthless to a valuation of $90 billion in just a few years – and Altman is largely credited as the mastermind of that plan and the key to the company’s success.

Yet a company with big backers like Microsoft and venture capital firm Thrive Capital has an obligation to grow its business and make money. Investors want to ensure they’re getting bang for their buck, and they’re not known to be a patient bunch.

That probably led Altman to push the for-profit company to innovate faster and go to market with products. In the great “move fast and break things” tradition of Silicon Valley, those products don’t always work so well at first.

That’s fine, perhaps, when it’s a dating app or a social media platform. It’s something entirely different when it’s a technology so good at mimicking human speech and behavior that it can fool people into believing its fake conversations and images are real.

And that’s what reportedly scared the company’s board, which remained majority controlled by the nonprofit wing of the company. Swisher reported that OpenAI’s recent developer conference served as an inflection point: Altman announced that OpenAI would make tools available so anyone could create their own version of ChatGPT.

For Sutskever and the board, that was a step too far…

A warning not without merit

'The only time I ever froze:' AI pioneer describes encounter with Steve Jobs (October 2023)

01:17 - Source: CNN

By Altman’s own account, the company was playing with fire.

When Altman set up OpenAI LP four years ago, the new company noted in its charter that it remained “concerned” about AI’s potential to “cause rapid change” for humanity. That could happen unintentionally, with the technology performing malicious tasks because of bad code – or intentionally by people subverting AI systems for evil purposes. So the company pledged to prioritize safety – even if that meant reducing profit for its stakeholders.

Altman also urged regulators to set limits on AI to prevent people like him from inflicting serious damage on society.

Proponents of AI believe the technology has the potential to revolutionize every industry and better humanity in the process. It has the potential to improve education, finance, agriculture and health care.

But it also has the potential to take jobs away from people – 14 million positions could disappear in the next five years, the World Economic Forum warned in April. AI is particularly adept at spreading harmful disinformation. And some, including former OpenAI board member Elon Musk, fear the technology will surpass humanity in intelligence and could wipe out life on the planet.

Not how to handle a crisis

With those threats – real or perceived – it’s no wonder the board was concerned that Altman was moving at too rapid of a pace. It may have felt obligated to get rid of him and replace him with someone who, in their view, would be more careful with the potentially dangerous technology.

But OpenAI isn’t operating in a vacuum. It has stakeholders, some of them with billions poured into the company. And the so-called adults in the room were acting, as Swisher put it: like a “clown car that crashed into a gold mine,” quoting a famous Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg line about Twitter.

Involving Microsoft in the decision, informing employees, working with Altman on a dignified exit plan…all of those would have been solutions more typically employed by a board of a company OpenAI’s size – and all with potentially better outcomes.

Microsoft, despite its massive stake, does not hold an OpenAI board seat, because of the company’s strange structure. Now that could change, according to multiple news reports, including the Wall Street Journal and New York Times. One of the company’s demands, including the return of Altman, is to have a seat at the table.

With OpenAI’s ChatGPT-like capabilities embedded in Bing and other core products, Microsoft believed it had invested wisely in the promising new tech of the future. So it must have come as a shock to CEO Satya Nadella and his crew when they learned about Altman’s firing along with the rest of the world on Friday evening.

The board angered a powerful ally and could be forever changed because of the way it handled Altman’s ouster. It could end up with Altman back at the helm, a for-profit company on its nonprofit board – and a massive culture shift at OpenAI.

Alternatively, it could become a competitor to Altman, who may ultimately decide to start a new company and drain talent from OpenAI.

Either way, OpenAI is probably left off in a worse position now than it was in on Friday before it fired Altman. And it was a problem it could have avoided, ironically, by slowing down.

Microsoft worked hard to hire him and his team asap and they got it Sunday night a little past 12:30. They figured if OpenAI didn’t tell them a 49% owner, they wouldn’t notify the company. Plus Google was going after him aggressively.

Trump Leads GOP Primary Field With 67%, Dominates Biden +8 and Harris +12

November 20, 2023 | Sundance |

An interesting follow-up poll from Harvard Harris [DATA HERE] shows the continued strength of the Trump MAGA base against the field of GOP/Dem candidates and useful idiots.

With Donald Trump holding a commanding 67% lead over all other GOP candidates, one must ask why they remain in the nomination process without being able to break single digits. The answer to that question reveals their corporate agenda.

Remarkably on page 25 of the poll the results show Kamala Harris is the most favored candidate to replace Joe Biden for the 2024 nomination. Harris holds 24% as the replacement for the DNC nomination.

However, on page 33 of the poll, the question of Trump -vs- Harris is asked and President Trump handedly crushes Kamala Harris 52% to 40%.

Be of good cheer…. The nominee coming out of the DNC convention is unlikely to be Joe Biden. However, as this poll reflects, even the substitute will start with an uphill battle.
