Lessee..... Bayer, Merck, Pfizer, and other "evil" companies share some important large stockholder issues .... rockefellers, gates, Blackrock, Mormons. Who the hell can keep track of major stockholders in corporate enterprises.
But ranking them as to which is the most evil is a tough task. Some people I know consider London to be the global nexus of Evil, others consider China or more precisely the CCP to be the real Evil.
Most Americans work for very large corporates with perhaps 3% to 8% ownership tracking back to London or China. Blackrock manages a portfolio of some 9 Trillion dollars in investments. Yes, that's Trillion with a T.
Makes Soros and a hundred other investors with over 10 Billion in the markets look really small.
If you added up all 15000 CFR members' investment holdings you'd have maybe 20 Trillion (Blackrock included).
The US treasury has been buying stocks with newly printed dollars, well, not even "printing" the dollars, but just entering numbers on balance sheets. Probably about 8 Trillion there, too.
And that's all "Progressive" ownership, now sold on the Great Reset.
A whole lot to fear.
But this round of Pandemic was in many respects a bust. It was too mild, too many people just got over it with immunity better than a vaccine could ever do. Still, we are unreasonably requiring millions, tens of millions of "recovered" people to get the damn vaccine. There's no excuse for that.
There's also no excuse for requiring people with low risk profiles like children to get the vaccine.
But then there are "new" strains coming around with much greater overall risk including different risks for different fractions of the population, and uncertain efficacy of the vaccines against new variants.
So my "no excuse" for government vaccination requirements is one of those things where you also cannot really blame anyone for wishing to be more careful, not less.
Overall, the most damning thing about our governance on this issue is the complete failure to pursue the most obvious and most efficient, per the evidence, public health measures. Giving businesses and schools which install HVAC elements with filters, disinfectants, and safe levels of air treatments, to stay open. Texas and Florida succeeded with better policies than other states implemented, but they also benefitted from more sunshine overall.
mask mandates for outdoors sunshine is nuts, even social distancing requirements didn't follow the science on that. In sunshine, the virus is killed in 0.3 seconds. It would be the same in a school with about 1/10 the ambient chlorine level found around any swimming pool.
The crazy we do, that our guvmint has done with this "pandemic" is beyond the pale. The social cost has been huge, the financial impact outrageous. The legislation has been political opportunism beyond all previous outrages.
The dems have lost all credibility as reasonable people. It's time to vote'm out.
Still, on the bright side, the implementation of effective HVAC and other measures by businesses has created a significant new industry. Retrofitting HVAC is actually a viable business, and lots of new outfitters are entering the market, and people are getting educated about it.
I think it'll be a really hard sell to scare enough people with the next "pandemic" Not only will they disregard public health authorities doing stupid orders, they'll be suing for damages, and there'll be massive shifts in the voting turning out the fascists with their orders.
