Daily Caller’s ‘SICK’ Reveals Just How Much Money Big Medicine Made From COVID

Do doctors even have an incentive to cure you?

“Not really,” said holistic physician Charlie Fagenholtz, just one of the medical professionals The Daily Caller sat down with as part of our latest documentary, “SICK: Unmasking Big Medicine.”

“SICK” exposes the true incentives at play. The Daily Caller’s investigative teams uncovered how Big Medicine has its claws in every nook and cranny of the medical field: from physicians and hospitals to the very groups meant to work on the patient’s behalf. The incentives go beyond treating patients to milk cash cows. With COVID-19 vaccine developer Pfizer’s revenue nearly doubling in the first year of the pandemic, it’s no surprise they put on a million-dollar marketing campaign to sell us their shots.

“SICK” is available exclusively for Patriots subscribers. Subscribe here to watch now, and check out our entire collection of original documentaries as well.

Catch an exclusive first glimpse below.

Think back to the early days of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout. Millions of Americans had already contracted the virus and over 300,000 had already died. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared the vaccine for use in December 2020, calling it a “significant milestone” and “a true testament to scientific innovation and public-private collaboration worldwide.” Our deliverance had finally come, or so Big Medicine promised. We thought we would be allowed to move on with our lives after getting the shot. We were wrong.

Our leaders promised that vaccines would stop the spread of the virus and bullied us into getting the jab based on protecting others. It turns out this promise came with quite a few qualifications.

“When you get vaccinated,” Dr. Anthony Fauci assured us in 2021, “you not only protect your own health and that of the family but also you contribute to the community health by preventing the spread of the virus throughout the community.”

“In other words, you become a dead end to the virus,” he continued.

President Joe Biden echoed The Science in a 2021 interview.

“This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated,” Biden said. “The unvaccinated. Not the vaccinated, the unvaccinated. That’s the problem. Everybody talks about freedom and not to have a shot or have a test. Well, guess what? How about patriotism? How about making sure that you’re vaccinated, so you do not spread the disease to anyone else.”

As is now common knowledge, the COVID-19 vaccines do not significantly reduce transmission of the virus. Early research showed that the Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccines were modestly effective at stemming transmission of the virus. However, that efficacy was shown to wane over time, especially as new variants emerged. Current CDC vaccination guidelines recommend that everyone over the age of 5 continue to receive an “updated” COVID-19 vaccine to “protect against serious illness,” but there is no mention of vaccines preventing transmission as originally promised. Despite the promises of our leaders, it turns out this was always the chief purpose of the vaccines, and what Pfizer specifically tested theirs to do.

By 2022, we found out in shocking testimony that Pfizer never even tested whether their vaccines worked to stop transmission. When asked in an EU Parliament hearing whether her company tested for stopping transmission before rollout, Pfizer’s international director of developed markets Janine Small responded, “No.”

“Regarding the question around, did we know about stopping immunization before it entered the market, no,” Small said.

You had to get the vaccine. You might be young, fit and healthy with natural immunity, but you have to keep getting the boosters. But it won’t do anything to protect your community or the people you care about. So what does it do?

Well, it’s made a ton of money for a small group of people.

As “SICK” reveals, Pfizer’s 2020 revenue stood at $41.6 billion. As the vaccines rolled out around the world, that figure doubled to a whopping $81.2 billion in 2021. With the booster craze around new variants, that figure skyrocketed even higher, cresting at over $100 billion in 2022.  Revenue only declined in 2023 as demand fell for COVID vaccines — and the government stopped buying them. However, Pfizer’s 2023 revenue — over $58 billion — is still higher than what it was pre-COVID.

Vaccine manufacturers like Pfizer made out like bandits during the pandemic while Americans suffered. In fact, Big Medicine may have come out as the only winner. They built a reputation as heroes with those in the cult of Trust The Science™ , insulating themselves from public accountability while raking in billions to expand all the abuses that existed well before COVID.

Watch “SICK” today to learn more about how Big Medicine benefited from COVID-19 and all of the harm they’ve done to the American people.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
