This week, Mary Holland, Children’s Health Defense president, and Polly Tommey, co-producer of “Vaxxed,” covered the latest headlines on COVID-19, Big Pharma and other issues, including news that Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccines doubled the company’s annual revenue, and gave the drugmaker unique weight in determining U.S. health policy.
Polly and Mary also discussed that the German Federal Ministry of Health posted a “stunning tweet” admitting 1 of every 5,000 COVID-19 vaccinations caused “serious side effects.”
Plus, one of the former U.S. officials who led the COVID-19 response during the Trump administration said that COVID-19 vaccines were never expected to protect against infection.
Also on tap this week: President Biden tested positive for coronavirus, despite being fully vaccinated and boosted, and is taking the anti-viral drug Paxlovid for his symptoms.

- U.S. deaths from antimicrobial resistance rose 15% in 2020, as drugs were used to treat COVID-19. The WHO has issued an “urgent” call to develop more than 150 vaccines to address this global health threat. “It is fascinating,” said Polly.
