European Medicines Agency essentially a lobbying outfit for Big Pharma

A member of the Austrian Parliament for the FPÖ [Freiheitliche Partei Österreichs], the Austrian Freedom Party has called out a woman named Emer Cooke, a former lobbyist for the pharmaceutical industry who is now on the board of the EU agency that regulates medicines — including the notorious AstraZeneca “vaccine”, which is currently at the epicenter of a major controversy.

MP Gerald Hauser FPÖ noted that the European Medicines Agency is responsible for monitoring and evaluating medicines in the EU, and is also responsible for their approval.

Before there was even any discussion about vaccinations and the approval of vaccinations, a certain Dr. Emer Cooke was appointed on November 16 2020 as the chairwoman of the EMA, responsible for a budget in 2020 of approximately €306 million.

The review process of the European Medicines Agency regarding medical issues has been criticized for its lack of transparency and issues of conflict of interest. In a rebuttal of an EMS review that included her work, Louise Brinth, a Danish physician, noted that “experts” reviewing data remain unnamed and seem to be bound to secrecy. Minutes are not released and diverging opinions are not reported suggesting that all the “experts” are of the same opinion. In her view the process is unscientific and undemocratic.

The Agency decentralises its scientific assessment of medicines by working through a network of about 4500 “experts”. One these “experts” is Lynora Saxinger. According to her Twitter profile, she “offers informed Covid-19 opinions in media”.

“Any one who has a history of blood clots might have an increased risk of blood clots at any point anyway,” Saxinger, an infectious disease specialist at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, declared in a recent CBC News interview on the safety regarding the AstraZeneca vaccine.” But I don’t believe that there would be a rationale to make a recommendation against using [the vaccine],” she added.

This may present a huge conflict of interest because “91 percent of this [EMA] budget comes from fees paid by the pharmaceutical companies,” Hauser pointed out. “And if you now look at the CV of Dr. Emer Cooke, since 1985 she has been working in various positions in the pharmaceutical industry. It is interesting to note that from 1991 to 1998 she was a director of the FBA.”

The FBA happens to be the lobbying organisation for the largest European Pharmaceutical Conglomerates. Cooke lobbied for eight years for the Big 30 of the European Pharmaceutical Industry.

“Her clients were Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Novatis, Johnson and Johnson, and so on and so forth,” according to Hauser. “So, this Dr. Emer Cooke, who was appointed in mid-November of 2020 to the EMA board has, all her life, worked for the pharma industry. She has lobbied in an executive capacity for the pharma industry and is now responsible for the approval and for the control and the efficacy of vaccines like AstraZeneca“.

Hauser believes that this is a prime example of “outright insider deals, outright nepotism [and] bribery”. He added: “Please think about this when in future you use the EMA as proof of the correctness of the testing of medical drugs.”

Prince Philip passes — and all of a sudden, Meghan Markle looks kind of small

By Monica Showalter

His Royal Highness, Prince Philip, the able and admired consort of Queen Elizabeth II, has passed at the age of 99. Britain is honoring him with 41-gunsalutes, flotillas, special lighting, eight days of mourning, and tributes from all over. The New York Times has a great photo spread of his well-lived life. The Daily Mail came out with its fattest edition ever.

This Brazilian soccer player’s tribute is beautiful — there at the moment of his own soccer victory, he chose instead of honor Prince Philip. These non-British soccer players honored him, too. That’s so different from the disrespect for the U.S. coming out of the million-dollar ball players that’s going on over here.

President Trump, unlike the Brezhnevian-Chavista election thief who succeeded him and made one of the classiest tributes of all.

“The world mourns the passing of Prince Philip, a man who embodied the noble soul and proud spirit of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth,” Trump said in a statement.

“This is an irreplaceable loss for Great Britain, and for all who hold dear our civilization,” he said.

“Prince Philip defined British dignity and grace. He personified the quiet reserve, stern fortitude, and unbending integrity of the United Kingdom,” he said.

Biden in contrast offered only banalities, and in the Obama tradition made some of his so-called tribute all about himself, effectively saying he admired the prince because the latter’s age made him look less old by comparison. Ugh.

The estimable Nile Gardiner, a former aide to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, wrote this flawless summary of the duke’s admirable life for Fox News, which included fighting actual Nazis with distinction and bravery. His love and devotion to his wife was legendary — at 73 years of a happy marriage, he died a model for all men. He also was loved for his bluntness and political incorrectness — the Daily Mail has curated a striking sample here. There was no malice, though, Gardiner noted in his piece that he had a “jovial” manner. All the so-called politically incorrect gaffes seemed perfectly intentional yet he also knew how to make fun of himself.

But a racist, as Meghan Markle claimed someone in the royal family was? Plenty of eyes went to him, but knowing he was dying and had the public’s sympathy, the Markle team later denied that the alleged family racist was the prince or the queen, putting the onus on the rest of the family, which few, in Britain at least, believed, according to Gardiner.

Recalling the prince’s life was like a breath of fresh air. Did anyone know about his difficult family background, with an adulterous father and a saintly but mentally unstable mother, in what he called a ‘nomadic’ early life, and how he overcame it? Did anyone know about his distinguished war record fighting actual Nazis as well as the imperial Japanese? Did anyone know about his charity work and his ineffable devotion to duty? Did anyone recall his stalwart devotion to his wife, his very British stiff upper lip, his seriousness about duty to country, and his stately, classy, gentlemanly demeanor? He was always sort of in the background, based on media coverage. But he was always there and always representing with honor his country.

Who’s been the face of the British royal family lately? Why, none other than Meghan Markle and her adjunct, the wretched Prince Harry, who follows her around and goes along with her whims like a beagle. Unlike Prince Philip, Prince Harry abandoned his duty, arguably abandoned his country, ignored his family’s wishes to strike out on his own, (except with his daddy’s money) and generally went with selfishness. He now pursues the celebrity lifestyle in Los Angeles, complete with Oprah interviews and Netflix deals, all in the end not to advance the cause of Britain, but to advance the increasingly politicized agenda of Meghan. Blech.

Prince Philip was said to be the most upset with Prince Harry for walking out on his royal duty and with Meghan for leading him. Prince Philip, after all, had given up his promising career as a military man to be the queen’s consort, and embraced that role like the giant he was. He was asking of Harry and Meghan only what he had asked of himself, and consistently lived by example. Meghan, though, wasn’t about to give up her actress career for a mere life as a duchess and its “boring” royal-family duties. She reported said it “wasn’t working for me” and dragged Harry off to the celebrity lifestyle and red carpets back in Los Angeles.

Behind this kultursmog from the press which obscured the reality of the hard-working and dutiful, patriotic royal family, there still stood people like Prince Philip. It seems it now took death for people to take stock in who he was and what he did in a well-lived life that spanned nearly a century. In contrast, Meghan with all her press lackeys, looks kind of small, kind of icky, and distinctly unfit.

Switzerland: Ex-Imam gives orders to murder from prison

Azad M. has been imprisoned in the cantonal prison in Frauenfeld since March 2021. The Federal Criminal Court had sentenced him to 70 months in prison, they considered him guilty of involvement in a criminal organisation.

But even in prison, the former prayer leader of the Winterthur An’Nur mosque seems to remain committed to his beliefs. Because he used the telephone calls authorised to him to call for murder, among other things, as the newspaper “Tages-Anzeiger” reported.

In February, for example, he allegedly instructed his brother in Germany “not to let a person get away”. Because the conversations were monitored by an interpreter, he was then warned off. Things got serious during a phone call this March, when he tried to give instructions to his mother in Iraq on how to deal with the death of his nephew: After beginning his sentence: “Mum, tell them to let him…”, the phone was snatched out of his hands, but he still managed to call out that someone should “go to this man and let him perish”, reports the “Tages-Anzeiger”.

The 53-year-old Iraqi has been living in Switzerland since 1998. From here, he is said to have provided logistical and financial support to the IS terrorist militia. After serving his sentence, he is to be expelled from the country for 15 years. In addition, according to various media reports, he has threatened to have his wife killed if she divorces him. The marriage has since been divorced.

Both Azad and the prosecution disagree with the sentence of 70 months imprisonment, and both plan to appeal the verdict to the next instance.

Austria: Fuss over signage – Islam ban on playground?

For several weeks now, the people of Salzburg have been amazed at the brand new prohibition signage that have been put up at the playgrounds in the municipality of Puch near Hallein. “Swings only with a registration form?” asks the Salzburg edition of the newspaper “Kronen Zeitung”, which reported on the matter.

The signage read: “Use is only permitted to Puch citizens (persons with their main residence in the municipality of Puch near Hallein)! So far, so good, but an email from Austrian People’s Party (ÖVP) mayor Helmut Klose has now resulted in the involvement of the Office of the Ombudsman for Children and Young People.

Several angry residents contacted the lawyer’s office, for example to clarify the legal basis. It is also unclear whether the local council was involved in the decision at all. The tip of the iceberg, however, is an e-mail that, according to the “Kronen Zeitung”, is being circulated in the village.

In it one can read further remarks on the playground ban. “It is also not accepted when Muslim families spread blankets at the playground and practise their midday religion, that is not part of our culture.”

Parents hope that this is just a misunderstanding of the language. The questions of the Children’s and Young People’s Ombudsman’s Office to the mayor should now clarify this.

Pack of Arabs chase and rape women in Berlin, Germany

Packs of men chase women, drag them into cars, rape them one after the other for hours. Sounds like something out of a bad film, but it really happened. One of the worst of them is said to have been Mohammed T. (28). He has been on trial at the Berlin Regional Court since Thursday.

The Iraqi (nicknamed “Momo”) has been behind bars since September 17, 2020. According to the indictment, three women fell victim to him and his gang. The indictment reads like a horror scenario:

August 1, 2019, Kreuzberg, a taxi stand near Gneisenau. A tourist couple from Australia wants to go back to the hostel. Mistake the car for an Uber taxi. They get in. On the way, the man is thrown into the street. The car drives into a dark corner with the woman. Ella M. (mid-20s) is raped by both occupants in the back seat. One of them is said to have been Mohammed “Momo” T.

January 18, 2020, Friedrichshain, Storkower Street. A high school graduate (18) from Dahlem leaves the techno club “Mensch Meier” at 3.30 a.m., is dragged into an SUV. On the back seat and in a flat she is raped again and again by three men. Four hours of hell and agony.

February 23, 2020, Friedrichshain, techno club “Berghain”. At 3 a.m. a party-goer (21) is dragged into the SUV by four men on Helsingforser Street. “We want sex!”, “Momo” is said to have said, according to the indictment. She is also raped again and again. For four hours. Afterwards, the woman is thrown out of the car with severe genital injuries.

The accused only says that he is a married hairdresser. He says nothing about the charges. “The accusations will be denied, questions will not be answered,” says his defence lawyer.

His genetic fingerprint (DNA traces) on the rape victims should convict him. But the women now have to testify as witnesses and again tell everything in great detail that they would like to forget.

One of the group was already sentenced in March: Wisam B. (33), an ex-policeman from Iraq, is sentenced to 13 years and 6 months in prison (verdict not yet final). He, too, had denied the crime until the end and demanded acquittal.

The trial will be continued on April 12, the verdict is scheduled for June 24.
