Will Any Comedian Lay a Glove on Big Pharma (Now)?

Conservative News DailyFebruary 1, 2023

John Oliver delivered a blistering takedown of Big Pharma … in 2015.

The “Last Week Tonight” Segment found Oliver shaming drug companies for their morally questionable tactics.

“Drug companies are a bit like high school boyfriends … They’re much more concerned with getting inside of you than being effective once they’re in there.”

Stephen Colbert was his guest Big Pharma: Your own swing Three years later.

“There are certain subjects that are genuinely hard to talk about like, the opioid crisis. It’s an epidemic that affects both political parties, Republican, Democrat, rich people, poor people, it does not discriminate … And a lot of people blame Big Pharma, but only because it’s their fault.”

Big Pharma had a large, fat target on their back for a while.

That was in 1996. Now, with Pfizer’s tactics under fire from alternative media outlets it’s the perfect time for Oliver and Colbert, among others, to take satirical swings at the mega company.

Just think about it! “Saturday Night Live” You can only sketch this exchange.

There is still no coverage by mainstream media about a href=”https://twitter.com/Project_Veritas?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>@Project_Veritas And a href=”https://twitter.com/JamesOKeefeIII?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>@JamesOKeefeIII‘s dramatic report on Pfizer’Gain from function research

The video quickly received millions of views on YouTube.Before it was deletedTwitter, Twitter, and elsewhere. Even if the mainstream media did its best to ignore or downplay a Pfizer executive’s shocking confessions (which he later denied as lies), many Americans learned about it via social media and brave news The Daily Mail is one of these outlets.

Except we’re not seeing any jokes on the subject from the usual suspects.

Liberals of late have avoided Project Veritas and the resulting headlines from right-leaning media outlets. Nor have they questioned recent revelations that the COVID-19 vaccine didn’t operate as advertised.

The vaccine didn’t stop people from getting the virus or transmitting it. We’ve known that for months, and yet the Late-Night Jimmys don’t think it’s worth addressing. Speaking “truth to power” It appears to have its guard rails.

They’d rather sing songs about indoor mask wearing … while not wearing actual masks indoors.

It’s not as if late-night comics ignored Pfizer’s handiwork.

Viewers were bombarded with provaccine sketches, dances, and music throughout the late-night landscape. ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel said unvaccinated Americans didn’t deserve medical treatment If they become ill from the virus.

Howard Stern, an ex-shock jock, stated the same but in angrier words.

Colbert took it a step further.

Some comedians might fear being fired if they take on Big Pharma. YouTube was unable to show Project Veritas a video in which a Pfizer executive admitted that they do “gain of function”COVID-19 is a virus that has been studied in a scientific manner.

Big Tech regularly censors jokes It is found “problematic” or, more precisely, hits targets that are inconvenient to the preferred narratives of the day.

Kimmel and his colleagues may also face retaliation from corporate bosses if Big Pharma cash is a part of their revenue streams.

Or are these comics simply being tribal? They assume that any vaccine-related information is pro-liberal and anti-conservative. And they fear accepting the other side even for a sketch or gag.
