It is impossible to overstate the value that large pharmaceutical companies and the medical cartel bring to financial investment firms. Pharmaceuticals and the "health management system" currently represent the largest sectors of the US economy.

It is also impossible to overstate how severe the economic crash of 2019 was for the Pharmaceutical Industry. Fortunately for the investor class a pandemic magically appeared in 2020.

A threat to the operations and profitability of the pharmaceutical industry is a threat to those enormous financial interests. Those who oversee these financial empires will go to great lengths to protect and further those interests and their power.

In the past Big Pharma has been able to offset or delay financial deterioration by continuing to develop products in the pipeline and capitalize on those products as they came online.

Circa 2023 the days of singlehandedly placing big bets on a few molecules, marketing them heavily and turning them into massive money spinners are over. The business model the Pharma Leviathan has relied upon for decades to generate enormous revenue is irreparably broken.

Pharma CEO's, Pharma board members and health bureaucrats, with the help of governmental agencies, are aggressively pursuing "novel" solutions and setting in motion strategies to restructure existing systems and reorient the Pharma juggernaut.

These strategies and solutions require that the obsolete structures of the Pharma business model be “blown up” in order to create space for profitable replacements.

“Revolutionary” innovations, alternative regulatory procedures and new markets promise to bring about a seismic shift in how Pharma operates.

A Brave New World of biopharmaceuticals, public-private partnerships, regulatory reform, strategic initiatives and all manner of “creative disruptions” are knocking at the door.

The War on Terror™ has been replaced by the War on Germs™.

Buyer beware.

Remember when we were all conspiracy theorists for saying the boosters would never end?

Good times.
