Is EU dancing to the tune of Big Pharma? Bye bye, € Trillions!

 The EU Commission Press conference today was about 

Commission puts forward declaration on digital rights and principles for everyone in the EU

Today, the Commission is proposing to the European Parliament and Council to sign up to a declaration of rights and principles that will guide the digital transformation in the EU.

The draft declaration on digital rights and principles aims to give everyone a clear reference point about the kind of digital transformation Europe promotes and defends. It will also provide a guide for policy makers and companies when dealing with new technologies. The rights and freedoms enshrined in the EU’s legal framework, and the European values expressed by the principles, should be respected online as they are offline. Once jointly endorsed, the Declaration will also define the approach to the digital transformation which the EU will promote throughout the world.

press release and factsheet are available online.

The press conference was presented by Commission Executive Vice-President Margrethe Vestager, responsible for anti-Cartel operations, and Commissioner Thierry Breton.




Two Trillion euro Question for all Europeans 
I asked the Commission anti-cartel chief about what the EU was going to do about Big Pharma withholding raw data on which EU vax policy is based. There is huge money involved. 
The cost of Covid 19 to the EU?
More than 2 Trillion euros has been and will be spent on the 'pandemic' and recovery programmes.
The normal annual budget is about 180 billion euros. The sum involved is more than ten times the annual budget. 
Where is the rational evidence and approval for spending so much taxpayers' money?

I quoted BMJ editorial (British Medical Journal): Pharmaceutical companies are reaping vast profits without adequate independent scrutiny of their scientific claims. 

Thus trillions are being spent without democratic control and scientific justification.  Who are responsible for waste and fraud? The Pharma industry have a lamentable reputation as recipients of largesse. 
It is 'morally indefensible' not to provide doctors and the public with full data on vax trials that injure lives and cause deaths, beyond the symptoms of Covid-19. 

The BMJ wrote:The purpose of regulators is not to dance to tune of rich global corporations and enrich them further; it is to protect the health of the populations. 

Pharma firms reckon they own the raw data necessary to justify their vax policy and massive sales to the EU. They do not divulge the data about vaxed and unvaxed and the claimed effects of their experimental injections. Normally an experimental procedure would be tested over many years before being released to the public. The present operations are therefore 'experimental' based on data that the public has not seen.

Pharma firms have their employees and contractors publish papers showing positive results that stimulate sales. What data are they based on? In the Tarniflu case a decade ago governments paid for expensive stockpiles, only to find out that the approval of the drug and the trials were the result of papers, most of them unpublished, and those that were were written by ghostwriters paid for by the manufacturers. The researchers listed as principal authors lacked access to the raw data. Those who asked for access were fobbed off.

FRAUD Big Time!

The only access public and regulators have is via these published papers based on the restricted data. They never see the raw data. Then their response to Freedom of Information action is drip feed the info over many years. 
For the public 'we are left with publications but no access to the underlying data on reasonable request.' 


Are the EU politicians and regulators fully aware of the nature of the evidence before they commit trillions to Big Pharma? Can Pharma be trusted? The BMJ editorial points out that Pharma is the least trusted industry among the 25 main industries. They have paid billions in fines and for fraud.

 A Gallup poll showed that 58% of the public had a very negative or somewhat negative view of Pharma compared with a mere 27% giving positive views. 



'We are not here to enrich companies,' Vestager said. 'We are here to make sure data serve their purpose if their owners, the individual wants them to and that data can be made available for research and innovation.... We are in the process {to create} a health data space in order to let everyone know what data is available on what terms. Secondly trials have to be proved to be real trials.'

Too little, too late? 
Only after strenuous efforts were the first data on the injuries caused by the new breed vaxes released, a year late. Requested info under the US Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) showed more than 1200 deaths in the first 90 days up to 28 February 2021 and some 160,000 adverse effects and debilitating disorders.

Why wasn't this data released a year ago? 
As the BMJ wrote:
'We need complete data transparency for all studies, we need it in the public interest, and we need it now.'
