Pfizer Gets Sued Again. Why Is BioNTech Escaping Justice?

by Robert Kogon
25 June 2024 7:00 AM

As discussed by Carl Heneghan and Tom Jefferson on the Daily Sceptic here, Kansas has become the second U.S. state, after Texas, to sue Pfizer for deceptive marketing statements in connection with “its” COVID-19 vaccine – and apparently several other states are to follow. But, firstly, what “marketing”? The drug in question was purchased by the U.S. Government and it was, above all, the Government, including state governments, which coerced and cajoled the public into taking it. It was not sold to individual customers. 

And, secondly, Pfizer does not even have a COVID-19 vaccine. As I have shown over and over again, Pfizer is merely a contract manufacturer which produces said COVID-19 vaccine on behalf of the German firm BioNTech. BioNTech is the legal manufacture and ‘owner’ of the product. It should not have taken the Kansas Attorney General’s office any great effort of research to find this out, since the fact that Pfizer manufactures the drug on BioNTech’s behalf is clearly indicated on the product’s very packaging, as can be seen below.

Moreover, it is also clearly indicated in all the relevant regulatory documents. See here, for example, from the FDA and the screen cap below.

If any pertinent misleading statements, perhaps indeed – let’s not mince words – outright fraudulent claims, were made, they would, of course, have been made in the authorisation process, not in any non-existent ‘marketing’. But here too, the exact same relationship of principal (BioNTech) and agent (Pfizer) exists as in the manufacturing process. Pfizer serves as BioNTech’s agent, as can be seen in the Biologics Licence Application below.

Since it is not in fact its product, unsurprisingly Pfizer was not the sponsor of the clinical trial of “its” COVID-19 vaccine. BioNTech was, and it was the party responsible for the submission of materials to be made publicly available on the federal Government’s clinical trials website. 

Here is the clinicaltrials.gov entry for the clinical trial of ‘Pfizer’s’ COVID-19 vaccine.

Where does anyone see anything about Pfizer? In fact, you can find Pfizer by scrolling much further down the page, where Pfizer is identified as BioNTech’s collaborator and as “investigator”. 

In other words, Pfizer was the investigator which carried out the clinical trial on BioNTech’s behalf.

Here, by the way, is the entry for the trial in pregnant women cited by the Kansas attorney general, as well as Heneghan and Jefferson.

Exactly the same applies.

The famous Wistar rat biodistribution study to which Heneghan and Jefferson refer was in fact sponsored by Acuitas, the Canadian manufacturer of the lipid nanoparticles in which the BioNTech mRNA is packed, and it was included by BioNTech in its submission to the FDA on non-clinical (i.e., animal) testing. The entire pre-clinical programme strictly speaking, i.e., the animal testing conducted prior to the initiation of testing on humans, was conducted by BioNTech without any involvement of Pfizer. The study is here. The submission is here.

Finally, it is worth noting, as I already showed two years ago in my ‘50-50 Split: BioNTech and the Pfizer Illusion‘, that Pfizer shares whatever profits it earns on sales of the COVID-19 vaccine 50-50 with BioNTech and, in addition, has paid BioNTech substantial milestone payments. So, overall, BioNTech has in fact earned more than Pfizer on sales of what is, after all, its drug, both in the U.S. and internationally. 

For the international figures, including markets on which BioNTech sells the drug without Pfizer’s involvement, see my calculations here. In 2021 and 2022, BioNTech made over $31 billion in profits on sales of the COVID-19 vaccine, to which another billion or so can now be added for 2023. The company’s profit margin was nearly 80%, roughly three times that of Pfizer.

So, if Americans were indeed misled, how can the Kansas Attorney General and the other Attorneys General not be interested in the main beneficiary of the deception? Why the focus on the agent and not the principal, on the accomplice but not the perp? How can the U.S. Attorneys General fail to see what is plainly visible in the very documents they cite: namely, the primary responsibility of BioNTech? And why do so many critics of the so-called vaccine share this blindness, which, going on nearly four years now since authorisation, cannot but appear somewhat wilful?

TRT World Nexus: ‘Billionaires are building bunkers here’s why’…..I watched this last night, and was surprised what a based interview it was considering they have a show called Just 2 Degrees that would give the BBC a run for their money regarding climate propaganda. They had three Bunker experts, one who had Cold War experience. The real threat they say is not so much the dirty bombs, nuclear etc, it is the people nearby who know about the building. Check it out.

All the ‘big boys’ have or are building these hideaways / bunkers. Zuckerberg has a huge place still under construction in Hawaii I think. Or perhaps New Zealand.

Gates has built a hideaway.

They all know that at some point the ess haitch one tee is going to hit the fan.

A complementary article from Niall McRae at TCW.

“To fight back we must understand what the likes of Soros and Fink want. They seek to destroy Christian-inspired individualism, replacing commonsense morality rooted in heritage and community with the contrived collectivism of the ‘greater good’. The state – global rather than national – will be parent, provider and moral arbiter. Only faith can overcome this evil oligarchy.”

The issue here is you are treating a symptom, not the disease. Government can just as easily control supply of cash – in fact it already does.

The disease is Government in the hands of an out of control “right to rule” elite with global interconnexions, which has grown in scope and scale beyond what is necessary for a well ordered society and economy, or is desirable.

The State has far more control over the citizenry via the welfare system and regulatory framework than digital currency.

As long as citizens make themselves dependent on the State for healthcare, education, welfare, protection and safety all in exchange for liberty and freedom, then those who govern will stay uncontrollable, and become ever more intrusive with schemes like central digital currency.

So either do something about State dependency – give it up! – or stop complaining.

Citizens may be unavoidably dependent on the State.

Not at all. Systems can collapse from corruption but they can also collapse with complexity. If you look at it from a mathematical point of view then the introduction of a new node necessitates connection to all other nodes. Even modest attempts at this are failing and this is resulting in disinvestment. Technologies designed to facilatate working from home are too unstable and many are switching back to less centralised and distant models. I would say you are about to see major trends in the opposite direction, simply as a result of the growing distrust in western countries.

It isn’t difficult to pay for things with cash. If you are too scared to do so then you need to look in the mirror. It is a fine thing to have a wad in your pocket and to splash it out. Just like its fine to wear aftershave and have a hairy chest. Keep it real and solid.

I pay cash for everything except my ferry ticket from Southampton to the Isle of Wight. I was told that as there wasn’t any cctv and the staff behind the counter weren’t protected in any way it was card only.

Someone has yet to explain to me what happens when the internet goes, there is a power outage and/or you get locked out of your bank account.

Being locked out of your bank account has happened to 3 friends in the UK, one each in Belgium, Sweden and the USA. It is not fun trying to sort it out. In three instances people have had to return to their own country to sort out the problem.

Tills are almost universally connected to mains electricity and the internet. It has been many years since I last saw a manual cash till. Most won’t open without electricity if not all, Markets will take your cash and maybe corner shops but the big boys won’t and, besides, almost all shops would have to close because of no lighting.

Yes I get what you are saying but what about power outages? No power, no tills, no internet.

I live in Thailand and outages can last hours.
