Today's Must-Reads - 3 December 2022 & Pfizer start the trolling
A selection of the latest news, studies, reports and articles
I spend a lot of time each day gathering together new information and interesting articles. I then pick one or two of the most interesting topics and write about them. However, that leaves a lot of missed out information that I’m not sharing.
Below is a summary of all the latest articles and information that I’ve found. Today, this is a slimmed down version for all subscribers but will be for paid subscribers only a lot of the time in the future.
Please consider taking out a paid subscription because it enables me to spend longer reporting on the news that isn’t, but should be reported.
But first a quick look at how Pfizer have started actively trolling anyone who questions whether they should have the Covid vaccine or not.
Twitter recently tweeted this:
That’s correct, Pfizer knows what is best for you. Don’t worry about your own health status or personal risk, Pfizer employs real scientists who know best.
Pfizer says it is incredible that one can research what is best for themselves using the internet. What is incredible is that an account with over 500,000 followers only gets 108 likes and 65 retweets. Clearly didn’t go down as well as Pfizer had hoped.

If you click the Pfizer tweet to view it on Twitter, you'll see that only people that Pfizer mentions (references via the "@[username]" function), will be able to reply. They definitely know they'd get eviscerated in the comments. What pathetic cowards peddling their poison in their little safe space. They spend millions upon millions buying media and academic/pro shills, but they're still so afraid of being called out by the little guy. I think they know their hold on things is more tenuous than they let on. Bill Gates did the exact same strategy last year on Twitter when people were posting 100 hate comments per minute in his Instagram.
Seems like Fauci's new job is similar to his old job, chief propagandist for Pharma. I bet he's worth 100mil by this time next year.
