Pharma Chiefs Furious as Biden Slips on TV Saying ‘The Pandemic is Over’
Public health mavens and Big Pharma chiefs were furious last night after President Joe Biden let slip during a TV segment with ’60 Minutes,’ saying that ‘The pandemic is over.”
The President’s off-handed comment appeared to be off-script, and threw a multi billion dollar grift into disarray, as Pharmaceutical executives, the CDC and the gatekeepers at Anthony Fauci’s corrupt NIH – are now all worried about securing the next tranche of federal money for new and exotic medications, useless tests, experimental vaccines, and other lucrative COVID-related projects.
Also, a desperate World Health Organization (WHO) was also upset by impromptu Biden’s remarks. Only last Wednesday, the WHO warned that the pandemic was not over and that ‘important work remains to combat the virus’ around the world.

The Urban Institute, a think tank that conducts economic and social policy research, has estimated that as many as 15.8 million Americans could lose Medicaid coverage after the government ends its emergency declaration.
Biden’s comment that the pandemic is over came as a surprise to administration officials, according to two senior health officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment. The White House on Sunday night did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The administration for months has maintained that the virus is on the retreat, citing the growing availability of vaccines, tests and treatments to fight it and the population’s expanding immunity…
We've never been in a better place to end the #COVID19 pandemic, but only if all countries, manufacturers, communities and individuals step up and seize this opportunity.
