A speaker alleges a pharmaceutical company knew its drug could kill people but pursued $7 billion in peak sales anyway. He condemns medical mandates imposed on children and references a 2001 vaccine controversy that led him to make the documentary The Greater Good.
He knew that his new drug that was their new blockbuster drug was going to kill some people. But the good news was they still thought they could do $7 billion in peak sales. There are people in positions of extraordinary power willing to let people die. How dare they actually suggest that they have some authority to tell you what to do, to dictate what you eat, what you put into your body, what you inject into your children. It's outrageous. There was a vaccine controversy that happened in September of 2001. That was actually what precipitated me making my award-winning documentary on vaccines called The Greater Good. They were going to try and impose medical mandates of all kinds under the pretext of a public health scare. And I thought, well, what is it that I'm not seeing?
