Dreadful Pharmaceutical Corruption In The Netherlands Style

Corruption within the Pharmaceutical industry is infinite and unsolved

The greed, corruption, and malpractices within the political, pharmaceutical and medical world, are beyond imagination. Top culprits behind these shady deals in the pharmaceutical industry include politicians, pharmacists, and virologists.

No less than Peter Rost, former vice president of Pfizer, the whistleblower of the entire pharmaceutical industry, unmasks of how corporations take care of malcontents and opposition. The pharmaceutical industry and politicians don't seem to know the difference between criminality and wise knowledge.

They only care about profits and shares in the pharmaceutical industry and lacked knowledge in the field of side effects of vaccines.

Moreover, universities and research laboratories received billions of dollars usually from the pharmaceutic industry while scientists are naturally eager to create the panacea for one or the other to make a name and immortalize themselves. And politicians think like business as usual and how to maintain their electorate.

An example of a Pharmaceutical mafia in the Netherlands

Worldwide the pharmaceutical industry paid billions of dollars to direct research and to manipulate patient organizations. Especially in the Netherlands, this mafia industry does not only make medicines extremely expensive but also used the country for money laundering and as safe tax haven.

Above all, politicians help them with the prescription of mandatory vaccinations with dangerous side effects.

The fifteen largest pharmaceutical companies invested 1.7 million euros in patient organizations last year in the Netherlands alone. The Dutch Asthma fund received the most followed by the Dutch Diabetes Association.

But what strikes me most is the simple fact that these pharmaceutical companies, the largest in the world, report a remarkable profit in tax havens, such as the Netherlands. According to Oxfam Novib, it seems that the companies are channeling money.

For instance, amongst others, Abbott, Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Pfizer, and Glaxo Smith & Kline report significant profits in countries with favorable tax policies, including the Netherlands.

While five giants seem to have a profit margin of around 5 percent in developing countries and about 7 percent in emerging economies between 2013 and 2015, their profits in developed countries are extremely high.

In comparison, the profit margin in developed countries is strikingly higher (31%) while Oxfam Novib mentioned these countries as tax havens, including The Netherlands.

Pfizer a pharmaceutical criminal plant in sheep clothing

Pfizer says in a response that the company complies with all tax legislation and pays all due taxes. But apparently, Pfizer isn't aware of the confessions of a former Pfizer CEO written down in; “The Whistleblower, Confessions of a Healthcare Hitman.”

Considering his work experience, it would be an understatement to say that he is not only an insider expert on big pharma marketing but also exposes the mafioso behaviour. Pfizer, a company which not only have to take care of our health but also make people ill deliberately.

Due to profit shifting, many countries such as the Netherlands misses billions of tax revenues, which are often needed to improve access to health care. On the basis of available figures, Oxfam calculated that the major pharmaceutical companies received an estimated 3.8 billion dollars in taxes in countries such as Australia, Denmark, France, Germany, the US, Thailand, India, and Ecuador.

According to Oxfam, it is much more attractive for companies to pay taxes in countries where they can, for example, make tax agreements with the tax authorities. In addition, they can use an arrangement in countries including Ireland and the Netherlands that offer favorable rates for profits from innovation. In the Netherlands, you pay 7% tax on this.

Pharmaceutical transparency is as clear as the bottom of a cow

Pharma companies are not very transparent about where they make their profits and where they pay taxes leaving the shit in the hands of ordinary people. Yes, simply put Pharmaceutical transparency is as clear as the bottom of a cow.

Due to this lack of data, it is only possible to make a very rough estimate of the profit and tax avoidance. Moreover, to help them further the Dutch government decided to skip tax dividend which means billion more into the pockets of pharmaceutical multinationals. To achieve that criminal act every Dutch taxpayer has to pay € 250,- euros each year.

Esmé Berkhout, Oxfam Novib's tax expert

According to Esmé Berkhout, Oxfam Novib's tax expert, it is crystal clear: “Drug companies seem to be deceiving governments by avoiding taxes, they have to pay honest taxes, make their medicines affordable and stop manipulating and influencing governments for their own gain.” But in the Netherlands, they accept this kind of statements for notification and look the other way.

Also, representative Ella Weggen of Wemos, an independent social organization that focuses on the improvement of health worldwide, agrees with the words of Berkhout: “Tax avoidance does not improve the reputation of pharma companies and denies governments money they desperately need investing in health care”. And the Dutch government.....? Precisely...

Top three in the pharmaceutical industry earn more than $ 35 million

And it can get even crazier, as the top three CEO's in the pharmaceutical industry earn more than $ 35 million per person each year.

And where does the money come from? For example, Turing Pharmaceuticals took over the 62-year-old drug Daraprim and increased its prices by hundreds percentage.

Cycloserine sold the rights of a drug against tuberculosis to Rodelis Therapeutics, which increased the price from $ 500 per 30 pills to $ 10,800.

And in the Netherlands, the purchase price of potassium medicine Slow K has increased from € 2.84 to €19.70 euro per 100 tablets. But above they earn money because of making people deliberately ill as described by former CEO of Pfizer Peter Rost.

Monopoly of medicines
The cause of the aforementioned criminal behaviour of the pharmaceutical companies is the monopoly that pharmacists get when they develop a medicine.

They can then ask what they want. The patient needs the medicine to survive and become better. Negotiations with pharmaceutical companies about medicines are therefore often literally about life and death.

For example, the manufacturer of Orkambi, a product for people with cystic fibrosis, requires €170,000 euros per patient per year! The Netherlands is now in negotiations with Belgium to lower the price. In the meantime, patients are being left in uncertainty.

In 2012, there was the same discussion about drugs against Pompe disease and Fabry disease. With the arrival of more and more new expensive medicines, this specter threatens to occur more often. We must prevent that!

For an industry that is purely profit-making, there can be no place in our health care. It is now too often private parties that reap the benefits of public discoveries.

Moreover, it must be clearer what is paid for medicines. Manufacturers keep their prices for medicines secretly secret. Even members of parliament who attribute care budgets have no insight into the price agreements that the minister makes about medicines.

We can therefore not check whether these are reasonable. We have to get rid of that too. This aggravation only helps pharmacists. So for politicians, there is a lot to do.

Dubious interests
The patient associations must stand up for the interests of sick patients, but in many cases, they do not know that these organizations are partly financed by the pharmaceutical industry. That's bad, to say the least.

"What is wrong with that is patient associations defend the patient's interests and this type of sponsorship could create the impression that this is not the case", says Professor Frits Rosendaal of the Leiden University Medical Center.

But as long as you ensure that you do not become dependent on pharmacy as an association, there is nothing to worry about and that is something that one achieve by approaching different parties in a transparent way. But as always institutes for responsible medicine uses are not able to cope with pharmaceutical sponsorships leaving all subsidies as 'dubious'.

Sponsorship information is in many cases not available on the sites of the patient clubs. The Dutch Consumer Patients Federation NCPF thinks that patient associations should 'make clear what the financial sources are and how they are used'. But this clarity is never given by pharmaceutical companies.

Sanofi, Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Glaxo Smith & Kline GSK, Novartis, Abbott, Merck Sharp & Dome, Johnson & Johnson, Solvay Duphar and many more are sponsoring not only universities, patient organizations, and laboratories but also ordinary family doctors, one of the latest in this criminal chain we depend upon, can not be trusted anymore....

The pharmaceutical, political and medical establishments that use patients as guinea pigs, to gain profit with killing medicines like Zidovudine AZT and contaminated vaccines and dangerous vaccine trials as well covered by politicians and shareholders needs to be stopped.

The results of our research is a comprehensive and alarming review of the findings of medical researchers on the clinical use of many killing drugs and vaccines from hell. Therefore it is unbelievable that our leaders, journalists, and media are looking in the opposite direction.
