Here's Pfizer.

I'm just going to say these are the companies we're trusting to make the vaccine products that we're injecting into our babies.

And a lot of them, including on the first day of vaccination.

of life for a disease the baby can't possibly get because the mother is tested for hepatitis B anyway.

Anyway, Pfizer.

So they get fined for illegal marketing of products.

The company is forced to pay the largest criminal fine in US history at that time plus a billion dollars more in a settlement in 2009 for the False Claims Act.

And I almost forgot 240 million in criminal fines and another 190 million in 2004.

for false claims to Medicare, and $60 million and $40 million and $75 million for fraudulent marketing, $15 million for paying kickbacks to healthcare providers.

That's Pfizer.

Johnson & Johnson, who's a really trusted company to some people,

They got fined $5 billion for what I already talked about, which is the baby powder, $4 billion, I'm sorry.

And they had to pay out all kinds of court things.

But they got a $5 billion fine for multiple states for its role in the opioid crisis.

And, you know, you can decide if I'm overplaying this because they got deceptive marketing, downplaying the risks and overstating the benefits of their products, false claims made to mislead doctors and patients and regulators, tricky promotion, et cetera, et cetera, for distributing fentanyl products and failing to adequately warn about the risk of those products.

They're –

$4.7 billion criminal fine in connection with baby powder.

$2.2 billion in penalties for illegal marketing and kickbacks.

Now, I know this is boring, so I'm going to rush through it.

GlaxoSmithKline, same thing.
