because of the power of big pharma. we ended the gag clauses that prevented pharmacists from telling patients how to buy less expensive drugs. as you know, pharmacists could not talk to patients about how to buy drugs. how about that one? think that's right? now they can and should. we approved a record number of affordable generic drugs for three years in a row and we've put a very heavy emphasis on generic drugs. and the pricing there has become very good. but that pricing will also go down very substantially. no administration has ever fought harder or achieved more for our patients and for our seniors. but for america, when you think of it, for america, because other countries were paying a fraction of what we were paying, in some cases a small fraction, i mean, it was -- the numbers were just staggering, the difference between going to -- i won't name nations, but i could name five of them right off the top of my head, that it is so incredible to think about, for years what was happening. we've been working on this

big pharma ran millions of dollars of negative advertising against me during the campaign.hich i won, by the way, but, you know, we'll find that out. almost 74 million votes. we had big pharma against us, we had the media against us, we had big tech against us, we had a lot of dishonesty against us. lou: and a lot of political corruption. president trump also praising the development of operation warp speed. operation warp speed accelerating china virus vaccines from pfizer, moderna and others. pfizer today filing with the fda for an emergency use authorization of its vaccine, a vaccine that pfizer says is 95% effective. president trump, however, says those biotechs held back positive news about the development of the vaccines. in one case by six days after the election. and the other announced thirteen days after of the election. and there is considerable reason to believe that those companies and others may have known about the effectiveness of those vaccines as early as october 22ndment -- 22nd. here's what the president had to say today. >> pfizer and others even decide

we had big pharma against us, we had the media against us, we had big tech against us.nesty against us big pharma alone ran millions and millions in ads and i looked at it and said who is it i've never seen anything quite like it because i told them i'm going to have to do this i was put here to do a job and pfizer and others were way ahead on vaccines. you wouldn't have a vaccine if it weren't for me for another four years because fda would have never been able to do what they did what i forced them to do and fepfizer and others decidedo not assess the results of their vaccine, in other words, not come out with a vaccine until just after the election that's because of what i did with favored nations and these other elements instead of their original plan to assess the data in october. they were going to come out in october but they decided to delay it because of what i'm doing, which is fine with me frankly, this is just a very big thing. i don't know if anyone is going to appreciate it these people can't even believe it alex, even you can't believe it. look at you. th

what do you think of these relationships between joe biden and big pharma?e relationships between big pharma industry and various elements within politics is unfortunate but it does exist and i think it has influenced a number of decisions, not always poorly but it does occur and i think sometimes it occurs because we are human beings, people develop relationships. i think in general the goals, the objectives, the intent of the biden cancer initiative was worth this, was worth while, the indirect funding concept is not problematic but one has to be exquisitely concerned about the optics and how they go about in the early years to make sure they are putting forth the money, not most of it into general administrative salaries as you point out. shannon: his team says they will have the highest ethical standards as they move forward and be tough on big pharma when they need to. we will see. great to have you with us and wishing you the best as you work on your vaccine. a top biden transition team leader has comments on restricting your free speech coming back to

too big. pharma conglomerates have recently announced that not one but 2. potential vaccinations against covert 19 are in the works. on nov 9th, the pharmaceutical giant pfizer in conjunction with its german partner, bio and tak, announced a new vaccine with about a 90 percent success rate against the virus. then just 7 days later on monday, november the 16th, modernity announced to the world a coronavirus backs the and that was 94 percent effective in preventing cold with 19 infections. these announcements have left many experts, health care professionals and big pharma executives like pfizer board member. dr. scott gottlieb, exclaiming to cable news host and talking heads worldwide that quote, the combination of the fact that a lot of the population will have already had coded combined with the fact that will be vaccinating the public with a highly effective vaccine. we could effectively end end of this pandemic in 2021 with our technology. but while ending covert nineteen's reign is without a doubt the best way possible for us to kick off 2021. that does

talking about those connections with big pharma. the organization was being run by greg simon who is a former pfizer executive. people wonder if the biden team is to close to some of those groups that president trump has been very tough on you he's been trying to get prices down. there are reports of the biden team got a call from pfizer about this excess of their vaccine on sunday night. the trump team didn't find out about it until monday. what do you think about these relationships between joe biden and big pharma? >> i think the relationships between the big pharma industry and various elements within politics is unfortunate but it does exist. i think it's influenced a number of decisions. not always poorly. i think it does occur and i think sometimes it occurs because we are human beings. people develop relationships. i think in general, the goals and objectives, the intent of the biden cancer initiative was worthwhile. i think the indirect funding concept is not problematic but i think one has to then be exquisitely concerned

and big pharma led the way big pharma even harder. lobbyist with great social justice credentials. i wanted to make sure that i was highlighting all the great work and organization, but also with our member companies chided diversity to try to address health care disparities to try to improve patient accessed with at least 3 major, covert 19 vaccines being rolled out in the coming weeks, access is the global buzz word. so here's the charts for pharma giants to go all in the fight against racial injustice, inequality, and discrimination all across the world. but so far, there's little evidence of that happening. take the moderna vaccine, despite receiving nearly $2500000000.00 in taxpayers' money, the company intends to make a profit. the vast majority as much as 78 percent according to estimates of its $1000000000.00 capacity, has already been sold to wealthy countries, such as the u.s. and canada, japan, and around europe. how about pfizer? forget it. it's estimated over 80 percent of the vaccine has been snapped up and preorders by the same nations astra zeneca is apparently doin

big pharma, possibly, but of course, big pharma is also keeping us alive. right? so it's too easy to say all big pharma is bad. oh, by the way, give me that aspirin. i need a headache. give me my, my. so yes, we need to be sensitive to that, no doubt about it. but what i'm saying is that politicians, because they spend all the time arguing with each other and claiming that they're right when others would know they're wrong, i guess i don't tend not to lean towards what politicians tell me. you joke about the systems of government from the earliest times in the 1st series of cosmo. so i think you're doing in a 2nd serious do you think that the greatest system of government we've ever had democracy is unusually predisposed to having politicians responding to constituencies that the damage enough to refuse vaccines to believe in refusing dividends and evidence as we're in a session, that's a brilliant, really good question because we, we who live in democracies like to say that democracy is the best thing ever. and yet occasionally we are reminded how fragile they ar

these announcements have left many experts, health care professionals and big pharma executives like pfizer board member, dr. scott gottlieb, exclaiming, the cable news host and talking heads worldwide that quote, the combination of the fact that a lot of the population will have already had coded combined with the fact that will be vaccinating the public with a highly effective vaccine. we could have affected lee end end of this pandemic in 2021 with our technology. but while ending covert nineteen's reign is without a doubt the best way possible for us to kick off 2021. that doesn't mean there isn't any controversy and whispers of conspiracies surrounding these vaccines and their potential implementation. for example, just days after pfizer's big announcement, common dreams, journalist, julie conley, reports that mass purchases of the vaccine by the world's richest countries have left more than 85 percent of the global population, namely the world's poorest. without any way to access this vaccination, then there is also the civil liberty issues being brought up surrounding the disb

because of the power of big pharma.the gag clauses that prevented pharmacists from telling patients how to buy less expensive drugs. they could not talk to patients about how to buy drugs? do you think that's right. now they can and should. we put an emphasis on generic drugs. the pricing there is very good but it will also go down substantally. no administration achieved more for our patients and for our seniors. but for america, we when you think of it. other countries paid a fractions of what we were paying. some in cases a small traction. -- fractions. the numbers were staggering. i won't name nations but i could name five off the top of my head. it's incredible to think about for years what was happening. we have working on this for 2 years. we had to go through a process. our nation for the same pill out of the same box made in the same factory, same company, you take a look at the cost was so much more. many, many times more. in 4 short years we instituted the most drug pricing reforms in decades. the american pe

vaccines could become big pharma as new cash cow. well, of the 20 largest pharmaceutical companies, only 4 had special vaccine units last year. now everyone is getting in on the act, which is great, but they using our money and can charge what they want. one of our guests this week said some developers promise to only charge the cost price. it could even be cheaper than the flu vaccine. let's see what happens. it's a race everyone wants to win. whoever makes the 1st successful kovan $1000.00 vaccine also stands to make a fortune or potentially blockbuster products. we are talking billions of dollars in revenue. part of the funding for the vaccine research is public money, but the profits stay in private hands. if the companies can secure exclusive licenses to have vaccines and ultimately decide on a price because they have a monopoly on the pavement, the race to find a vaccine is in full swing. and $2.00 german companies are among the leaders in the field, cure or vaccine tubingen. biotech in minds which this week announced promising

they take issue is the other role most favored nation, nations as you spell a walk-through with big pharma, it does not agree with and it's something they have been pushing back on for a while. one thing that president trump suggested during this, he did so on a couple of different occasions, i want to listen here, related to the covid-19 vaccine candidates that we have seen come online in the recent days or about to come online. the president suggested, because of the most favored nations role in lowering drug prices that he's been working on, the president believes that the vaccine was withheld until after the election because of it. listen though this. >> pfizer and others decided not to assess the results of their vaccine, and other words not come out with the vaccine until just after the election, that's because what i did with nations and other elements. >> there is no evidence that the drug companies withheld these vaccines in the information in the results until after the election to harm or potentially harm president trump but it's something he reiterated on several occasions this

of a reminder, the big pharma is also big money. so a vaccine for coated 19 may be closer, which of course is good news. well, for those who can at least afford it, i say, centralize, profit seeking, period with market in some way. because the last country to be called that really determines when the pandemic it's going to the one who paid for it get it 1st. i mean, we complain much, but the point is really if it is eventually optimal for them to leave all these poor countries untreated because they could eventually travel back to the bric countries at the same time. profit incentive shouldn't be in the mind. the world's greatest invention and treatments are marked by products. well, a new medical study has added to the urgency of finding a vaccine it follow and that catching cold at 19 can correlate with the philip ing mental disorders. the study was run by the university of oxford, it funded one in 5 virus patients go on to develop mental health issues within 3 months of testing positive. the analysis was based on 69000000 u.s. me
