Pharmaceutical Industry Quotes – Insights on Medicine and Science

"Unfortunately, science has become political. The virus has become political. And I have said that I do not want to comment on the feasibility and proportionality of this. That is a political question."

Prof. Dr. Hendrik Streeck

"Everything is backwards; everything is upside down. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the major media destroy information and religions destroy spirituality."

Michael Ellner

"We can’t wait for mandatory vaccination to become unnecessary just because infection levels in the population are very high. Omicron as a kind of ‘dirty vaccination’ is not an alternative to a vaccination mandate."

Karl Lauterbach

"When a doctor walks behind the coffin of his patient, sometimes the cause really is following the effect."

Heinrich Hermann Robert Koch

"The genome was considered to be the unchanging blueprint of human beings, determined at the beginning of our lives. Science must now abandon this idea. In reality, our genetic makeup is constantly changing.

Two years ago, 25 geneticists gathered at the University of California, Berkeley, to answer a seemingly simple question: What is a gene? However, the attempt to precisely define the basic concept of their field proved to be extremely difficult. The meeting of experts almost ended in disaster, recalls Karen Eilbeck, professor of human genetics at Berkeley and host of the roundtable: “We had hours of meetings. Everyone was yelling at each other.”

The dispute in Berkeley had little to do with researcher vanity. It was the first sign that the life sciences—still unnoticed by the public—were on the verge of a turning point. What researchers are uncovering in the chromosome strands of humans and animals is breaking with previous patterns of thinking in genetics. Much like at the beginning of the 20th century, when Einstein and his colleagues formed a new physical worldview, the age of relativistic genetics may now be dawning.

Medical research in particular is facing new challenges. Initial outlines are becoming apparent: the body and soul, their health, illness, development, and aging are subject to a genetic interplay whose complexity exceeds all previous ideas. Geneticists must abandon their image of a stable genome in which changes are pathological exceptions. Everyone's genetic material is constantly undergoing change. The result: every organism, every human being, even every cell in the body is a genetic universe unto itself."

Ulrich Bahnsen

"You're just claiming that I haven't been vaccinated, and I'll leave it at that. In the meantime, I've come up with a phrase inspired by Olaf Scholz: ‘I am on a good and reasonable path to complying with 2G.’ That leaves everything open. Schmidt then remarked mockingly: “I don't want to say any more about it, otherwise I'll quickly get something thrown at my tin foil hat.”"

Harald Schmidt

"Perhaps the following current example can best illustrate this point. We do not live in the clerical age, where lay people and clergy fought each other; nor do we live in the state-political age, when state officials and the people fought over democracy. The free growth area in the scientific age lies in a new pair of tensions, namely between research and knowledge. This pair of conflicts is still largely unclear.

We scholars all disguise ourselves as researchers, just as the old clergy behaved like saints in order to hold back the division between clergy and people. This does not change the fact that today the danger of the sciences becoming ossified is looming large.

Scholars are competent and therefore completely incapable of loving the overthrow of their virtue. They are science officials, and they always oppose amateurs. But since research is as much a part of science as the Holy Spirit is part of the Church, there is a great deal of pseudo-research competing with the progress of free research; and only the former is conscientiously supported by official bodies and foundations, because only this appears worthy of support to the professional officials of science.

Such harmful research acts according to the principle: Wash my fur, but don't get me wet.

It researches cancer according to Pasteur's outdated ideas, as if it were rabies.

It examines religion according to Wellhausen's ideas, but because it bases its research on ancient authority, it is extensively funded.

As long as scholars and researchers both remain poor, genuine research has prospects. That was the case until 1900. Today, the prognosis for research is deteriorating because grateful peoples are generously funding “science.” Thus, power is shifting to the side of the knowledgeable, against the researchers.

Our doctor factories and Rockefeller fellows are eloquent witnesses to this."

Eugen Rosenstock

"If the ‘germ theory of disease’ were correct, there’d be no one living to believe it."

B. J. Palmer

"We must be aware that even people who have been vaccinated three times can transmit the disease... It is obvious that we are a long way from the 95 percent efficacy we achieved against the original virus."

Ugur Sahin

"Vaccines, for Bill Gates, are a strategic philanthropy that feed his many vaccine-related businesses (including Microsoft’s ambition to control a global vac ID enterprise) and give him dictatorial control over global health policy—the spear tip of corporate neo-imperialism. Gates’ obsession with vaccines seems fueled by a messianic conviction that he is ordained to save the world with technology and a god-like willingness to experiment with the lives of lesser humans."

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

"...the strongest analogy is to medicines, and you know is there something to worry about with medicines that is - might some of them have side effects? do we need safety testing,,i mean we´re taking things that are, you know, genetically modified organisms. and we´re injecting them in little kids´arms. we just shoot it right into the vein..."

Bill Gates

"The biggest joke. The idea of installing Mr. Lauterbach as health minister is the biggest joke since Caligula appointed his horse as consul. The claim that he is an experienced doctor is completely unfounded, and the further claim that he is a trained epidemiologist is equally false. Mr. Lauterbach is not accepted by any serious scientist as an expert or anything of the sort.
With 50 years of medical experience as a health policy maker for the CSU, I am certainly qualified to judge who could meet the minimum requirements here. God save us from Mr. Lauterbach."

Prof. Wolfgang Pförringer

"The immediate problem is indemnification. Pfizer has been hesitant to go into some of the countries because of the liability problems, they don’t have a liability shield. So we work with the countries to try to do that. But I think also some of the other vaccine manufacturers may be able to go into countries because they’re operating through subsidiaries. This is all something that we’re exploring, and our goal, my goal, is to have vaccines available throughout the developing world based on what their countries decide. We’ve got financing available but the countries need to choose systems and then begin buying or receiving the vaccines."

David Malpass

"The current BN162 (Comirnaty) vaccine can induce antibody formation against the alpha and beta variants under laboratory conditions. No data is available on later variants. There has been no variant adaptation of the vaccine since the start of the vaccination campaign, and no adaptation is planned for the boosters. There is no general recommendation for a booster, and the benefits of vaccination must always be weighed up on an individual basis,"

BioNTech

"We will continue to boost and vaccinate until we have brought the pandemic to an end."

Karl Lauterbach

"The unvaccinated are serving as scapegoats for the failure of vaccination, which was proclaimed as a panacea for Covid. Those who have been vaccinated cannot admit that they have been deceived—and are venting their frustration in the form of totalitarian demands on the unvaccinated."

Bernhard Zimniok

"No one can say at the moment what lies ahead. The only thing that can be said with certainty is that it is better to be vaccinated. It is even better to have had a booster shot."

Christian Drosten

"The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) derives a majority of its outside contributions – estimated at more than $25 million per year – from pharmaceutical companies that make vaccines. The pediatricians that the AAP represents derive the majority of their annual revenues from the administration of vaccines to their pediatric patients."
