In the EU countries, there is a shortage of vaccines against coronavirus due to a reduction in the supply of the drug by the Anglo-Swedish AstraZeneca. Against this background, the EU leadership is considering the issue of limiting the export to the UK of the Pfizer / BioNTech vaccine ordered by it and produced in Belgium.
So far peripheral, but vaccine wars are beginning. BigPharma this time too smart and outwitted itself. In the past fake epidemics, which were declared a threat to humanity – during the swine, bird flu, and other similar events – the scale of terror was still significantly lower, although the degree of psychosis was off scale by ordinary standards, but nevertheless did not go beyond reasonable. Accordingly, the reserve capacity of the biopharmaceutical industry made it possible to cope with the increased demand and BigPharma could consider profit without over-burdening itself with additional and urgent production of its brew.
This is obviously not the case now. From the very beginning, global terror has soared into the sky. Politicians, solving their problems, now demand vaccines from pharmaceutical corporations and even more vaccines. A situation arose that is familiar from the health care system – after all the optimizations (and health care was smashed not only in Russia, but all over the world), it turned out to be not ready for a “political epidemic”. It was not designed for anything other than “regular flu.” And as soon as the “unusual” flu appeared, and even with severe pressure for political reasons, health care collapsed. Everywhere.
Now the same story begins with the global pharmaceutical industry. The capacity is insufficient. There is no point in talking about bantustans like Russia – our Pharma looks so wretched that vaccination against the current fashionable disease this season, according to some estimates, may take decades, not even years. The medical industry has been banally destroyed. But the imperialists find themselves in the same situation. Only at a higher level.
The problem is not that the capacity cannot be increased. Probably you can. But the question arises – what to do with these additional workshops, autoclaves and all the additional infrastructure then. After all, it will be an overwhelming burden on profitability, and therefore either you need to arrange a new pandemic every year, or prepare in advance for losses.
As a child, I read with interest the book Popular Ecology by Peter Farb. He gave in it a fairly well-known example of a three-component system “wolves-hares-grass”. If in some year the grass yield is higher than usual, hares after a while, having received additional food, begin to multiply rapidly. After some time, the number of wolves also grows – they, too, with food, everything becomes fine. And then the system performs the opposite oscillation – an excessive number of hares devours the grass and begins to die from lack of food. At the same time, they are quickly mowed down by multiplying wolves. Which, too, after some time begin to die due to a sharp drop in the number of hares.
In nature, such fluctuations in amplitude are not too large, and therefore the system is dynamic, but fluctuates around the equilibrium point. But if we add an external factor to natural fluctuations – say, burn out all the grass or exterminate all the wolves, then the system can irreversibly “jump out” beyond the equilibrium state. This happened in Australia, where rabbits had no natural enemies, and they ate the entire continent. It is just an artificial non-systemic factor in all its glory.
The same story emerges with the current “epidemic”. By the way, this largely underlines its design nature. And it doesn’t matter whether the virus is of artificial origin or natural. The inadequate reaction of politicians has become the external factor that irreversibly destroys the entire previously relatively stable system. First, health care collapsed, now under threat from BigPharma. It would seem that what is the problem – build capacities and arrange more and more fake epidemics every year. Earn on health. Its, of course.
But the fact of the matter is that BigFarma’s income in this case is due to the destruction of other sectors and branches of the world economy. And this is already a question of world politics, in which even the supergiants of pharmaceuticals do not have sufficient capabilities and competencies. Of course, there are tasks that are being solved now under the guise of an “epidemic”, but as soon as they are solved (in whole or in part), it will be necessary to return the system to equilibrium. If they have time.
Of course, the world balance is immeasurably more complicated than Farb’s example with the three components “wolves-hares-grass”. Therefore, the system is much more stable. But too strong an external impetus – a political order for “covid” terror – can undermine the stability of even such a very complex system and the previous balances.
By the way, the world system is already trying to start swinging back – massive protests against quarantine measures are growing all over the world. Naturally, those sectors of the economy that are literally exterminated today by quarantines and lockdowns are also trying to influence the politicians who ordered the current disaster. And this poses a difficult question for BigPharma: how to increase its vaccine production capacity or try to “pull out” the existing ones?
However, the fact that the stability of the world system is close to exhaustion is a fact. Destruction goes in all directions. Now the turn has come to pharmaceutical corporations – they obviously do not cope and do not have time. And any step in the direction to “be in time” can lead BigFarm to an unexpected disaster, only a little postponed.
