The Jab or Your Job - Episode Two - Past Pfizer Criminal Fines

Episode Two takes a look at how the government, state actors, big pharma, the healthcare complex and how these institutions create a combined juggernaut that spreads their influence. It also takes a look into the first covid vaccine mandate in the country and the questions surrounding Houston Methodist's decision to mandate an unproven medical experiment. It takes a philosophical view of the lawsuit and provides a window into the what was happening at that time. 

In 2009, Pfizer agreed to hand over $2.3 billion to settle a U.S. Department of Justice probe into its marketing of Bextra and Celebrex, mainly. Those were criminal fines for breaking the law. The litigation dates back to 2004 when a number of separate shareholder suits were filed claiming that Pfizer’s share price took a dive after it was learned that Pfizer had allegedly hidden information about the cardiovascular risks of the two drugs and off label promotion. That settled for close to $500,000,000. Did they learn a lesson?
