Questioning the profits of giant corporations deeply entwined with the WEF/military industrial complex/deep state?

The CIA has lists for those kinds of people. Nobody touches their excuse to steal from everybody.

From a southerly direction turn left at Greenwich and everywhere is West.

This is a terrible rebuke. Do you know why it felt like being beggars? Because that’s exactly what they were. We developed and produced the vaccine. This was something South Africa was not capable of doing itself. Nor was South Africa even capable of paying for the vaccines. The United States using tax payer dollars GAVE millions of doses to them and the rest of the world. And this guy has the audacity to complain? Maybe his country shouldn’t have spent the last thirty years driving off its most productive people.

Well, I feel a bit bad about it,
Though I think thett3 has a point in #4.
. .

My own view,
'Maybe we could have done better,
In the international community,
But, ,
. .
'World is still factions,
People prioritizing their own.

Nations 'often desperate for help,
But nations also made up of many people,
Differences, where an individual might choose to help,
But harder to 'force one's own choice on other people of one's own nation.
. .

Nations 'are different in wealth, power,
All nations fall,
So a 'bit in the interest of first world, to encourage humane action maybe,
But even that encouragement/philosophy will fall someday, same as nations.
. . .
Might be that 'power, is seen as more sure, more lasting,
Than the 'hope of good will being returned.

I agree Lemming.  I think thett brings up a point about the South African infrastructure.  I would add however  that the principal of a global pandemic, as described by the WHO and the fear that we perpetrated globally, should somewhat level the playing field.

Countries were locked down, their already weak economies crippled, and the west brag about the efficacy of a vaccine.  The developing nations respond "well if it is so good, can we have some and you help us out".  And the west says. "sorry we are sold out.  Good luck though!!"

It 'is a jerk move, to buy up all the neccessities,
When there is a disaster.

In a more decent world though,
People would always be able to, and 'be stocked with their necessities.

I would have sympathy if he wasn't South African...
