If the various efforts to work through the system fail, and I think they will fail, it seems appropriate to try to work through the system to change the system. But I have watched for over 30 years the system defend itself against all efforts to reform the system. Graham Rudman Hollings and the shutdown under Newt Gingrich and the efforts of Ross Perot to build a reform party are a couple of examples. There are dozens more.

The system is very profitable the way it is. So there is enormously powerful resistance to changes that would reduce those profits. It's a parasite. These are hard to remove.

At the start of the shots, I was worried that they would create a mild shot with minimal issues and first get approval and get put on the childhood schedule, so as to enjoy the immunity protection under the 1986 fascist act (which Senator Kennedy pushed along with other sellout cowards).

They also were planning to give the covid shots the same ridiculous ability to change the shots but not need to be retested, as the shitty flu shots. This was done early to plan it out.

The next step, I felt that pharma would turn up the dial on the shots but sit and rely on the approval as safety. Nope, despite all of this regulatory planning err scamming, the lazy aholes decided to ride the PREP act forever and not even make the "approved" shot, corninarty/spikevax/etc.

I'm also surprised that despite being able to rig studies to make deadly drugs like vioxx look safe, even with "demonstration" purpose, they handed a study that shows clear issues to the FDA for approval. The FDA went and rubber stamped it.

So, instead of Pfizer getting the blame, they can easily point the finger at the FDA etc and say, look we gave them muddy safety results and they decided it was safe, not us! That also explains why it was not advertised by pharma but the media and the corrupt idiot agencies. Both the media and the agencies are the truly guilty ones if this had a chance of facing a case.

Pfizer, etc handed them a piece of shit trial on purpose, instead of faking it as truly safe!

Debunk bro, JJ Couey, and Kevin all suffer from what you wisely described before:

"The evolutionary psychologist William von Hippel found that humans use large parts of thinking power to navigate social world rather than perform independent analysis and decision making. For most people it is the mechanism that, in case of doubt, will prevent one from thinking what is right if, in return, it endangers one’s social status. This phenomenon occurs more strongly the higher a person’s social status. Another factor is that the more educated and more theoretically intelligent a person is, the more their brain is adept at selling them the biggest nonsense as a reasonable idea, as long as it elevates their social status. The upper educated class tends to be more inclined than ordinary people to chase some intellectual boondoggle. "
