<p class="has-text-align-justify"><strong>In some cases, the pharmaceutical companies were found guilty of promoting vaccines to the public which is unlawful in the UK.  Yet it appears no action was taken.</strong></p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify"><a href="https://usforthem.co.uk/">UsForThem</a>, a UK campaign group for children, tweeted a video yesterday summarising the complaints made to the PMCPA where Pfizer, Moderna and AstraZeneca’s activities relating to the companies’ covid “vaccines” were found to be in breach of the British Pharmaceutical Industry Code of Practice.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">The text accompanying USForThem’s video stated, “The litany of serious and persistent offending includes:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>misleading the public about the safety and efficacy of their vaccines;</li>
<li>bringing discredit on the pharmaceutical industry;</li>
<li>improper marketing of their products to children; and</li>
<li>bribery.”</li>
</ul>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">The video concludes, “Despite a track record of serious and persistent offending, no fines or other penalties have been imposed by the regulator.  The UK’s pharma regulatory system is broken.”</p>
<figure class="wp-block-video aligncenter"><video src="https://expose-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Pharma-breach-of-code-of-practice.mp4" controls="controls" width="300" height="150" data-mce-fragment="1"></video><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><a href="https://x.com/UsforThemUK/status/1901921340996620689">UsForThem on Twitter</a>, 18 March 2025</figcaption></figure>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">The <a href="https://www.pmcpa.org.uk/">Prescription Medicines Code of Practice Authority</a> (“PMCPA”) is the self-regulatory body which administers the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (“ABPI”) Code of Practice for the Pharmaceutical Industry.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">The PMCPA is responsible for providing advice, guidance and training on the ABPI Code. It also investigates complaints about pharmaceutical companies’ activities and ensures compliance with the ABPI Code of Practice.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">Companies found in breach of the Code are required to pay <a href="https://www.pmcpa.org.uk/complaints-procedure/administrative-charges/">administrative charges</a>, provide a written undertaking, and may be subject to <a href="https://www.pmcpa.org.uk/complaints-procedure/sanctions/">additional sanctions</a>. One of the sanctions PMCPA can impose is to report a company to the Code of Practice Appeal Board, either because a particular case warrants such or because repeated breaches of the Code raise concerns about the company’s procedures.  The Board consists of 10 members, <a href="https://www.pmcpa.org.uk/about-us/how-the-pmcpa-works/the-code-of-practice-appeal-board/">four of which represent pharmaceutical companies</a>.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">The PMCPA cannot issue fines but it can suspend or expel a pharmaceutical company from the ABPI, which must be ratified by the ABPI Board.  The ABPI is a trade association so expulsion means the company loses the benefits of ABPI membership, such as representation, advocacy, and access to industry events and resources.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">The <a>ABPI Code of Practice </a>sets standards for its members for the promotion of medicines to health professionals and other relevant decision-makers in the UK.  It includes requirements for the provision of information to patients and the public and outlines guidelines for interactions with patient groups. The code aims to ensure that pharmaceutical companies operate in a responsible, ethical and professional manner.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">You can find all the complaints made to the PMCPA <a href="https://www.pmcpa.org.uk/cases/advertised-sanctions/">HERE</a>.  A number of the complaints relate to pharmaceutical companies attempting to advertise or market their products on social media.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">Although pharmaceutical companies are allowed to promote medicines to healthcare professionals and other relevant decision-makers, the ABPI Code of Practice prohibits the advertising or promotion of prescription-only medicines to the public <a href="https://cms.law/en/int/expert-guides/cms-expert-guide-to-advertising-of-medicines-and-medical-devices/united-kingdom">according to UK law.</a>  Under UK law, <a href="https://www.hcpc-uk.org/covid-19/vaccinations-what-you-need-to-know/">vaccines are classified as prescription-only medicines</a>.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">The PMCPA website uses Boolean search which allows a combination of words and phrases using the operators AND, OR, and NOT to either narrow, broaden or define search criteria.  For example, we wanted to search for instances where Pfizer had failed to maintain high standards relating to its covid injection.  So, in the search box we entered: <a>“Pfizer” AND “COVID” AND “high standards.”</a>  38 results were returned across various PMCPA categories: “Completed Cases,” “Advertised Sanctions” and “Code.”</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">The same case can appear in more than one category. An explanation of what the categories are explains why.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">Once evidence from both parties is considered for a complaint and the case has concluded, a case report is published on the PMCPA’s website as a “<a href="https://www.pmcpa.org.uk/cases/completed-cases/#?cludoquery=*&amp;cludopage=1">Completed Case</a>.”</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">“Advertised Sanctions” refers to companies that have been ruled to be in breach of Clause 2 of the ABPI Code (<a href="https://www.pmcpa.org.uk/the-code/2024-interactive-abpi-code-of-practice/clause-2-upholding-confidence-in-the-industry/">Upholding Confidence in the Industry</a>), are required to issue a corrective statement or are the subject of a public reprimand.   In these cases, the PMCPA advertises brief details of the case in the medical and pharmaceutical press, namely the <em>British Medical Journal</em> and the <em>Nursing Standard</em>.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">The “Code” category is either a short explanation of a clause within the <a href="https://www.pmcpa.org.uk/the-code/2024-abpi-code-of-practice-launched-with-a-new-constitution-and-procedure-for-the-pmcpa/">APBI Code of Practice</a> or a list of recent complaint cases relating to a particular code.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">To give an idea of the type of information a complaint and a case report includes, below is the case summary for one of the results returned from our search, “Pfizer” AND “COVID” AND “high standards,” from the “Completed Case” category.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">Our selected case relates to a complaint received from “a contactable member of the public” about Pfizer’s misuse of social media to misleadingly and illegally promote their covid vaccine.  Although we have only reproduced the summary, you can find the full report by following the hyperlink contained in the subheading below (emphasis our own).</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-4edd243d6e7230bed96f175fed04c7a3 is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong><a href="https://www.pmcpa.org.uk/cases/completed-cases/auth3741223-complainant-v-pfizer/"><mark class="has-inline-color">AUTH/3741/2/23 – Complainant v Pfizer: Promotional use of Twitter</mark></a></strong></h4>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">This case concerned a complaint received in February 2023 about a tweet posted by a US employee of Pfizer, and re-tweeted by a senior UK employee in November 2020. The tweet, which was still visible on their Twitter feed, related to a Pfizer and BioNTech press release announcing the conclusion of the Phase 3 Study of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine candidate, which had met all primary efficacy endpoints. The complainant alleged the tweet included relative efficacy rates without any information about absolute efficacy rates and that no safety data or safety information was provided, and therefore that Pfizer had misleadingly and illegally promoted its COVID-19 vaccine.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">The Panel ruled a breach of the following Clauses of the 2019 Code:</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">Breach of Clause 2: Bringing discredit upon, and reducing confidence in, the pharmaceutical industry</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify"><strong>Breach of Clause 3.1</strong><strong>: Promoting an unlicensed medicine</strong></p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">Breach of Clause 7.2: Making a misleading claim</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">Breach of Clause 7.9: Making claims that did not reflect the available evidence regarding possible adverse reactions</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">Breach of Clause 9.1: Failing to maintain high standards</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">Vaccines are prescription-only medicines, whether licensed or unlicensed.  Under UK law, advertising or promotion of prescription-only medicines to the public is prohibited.  Did PMCPA report this violation to authorities?  If not, why not?</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">The complaint above was received by PMCPA on 15 February 2023 and completed a year later on 1 March 2024.  After receiving details of the complaint from PMCPA, Pfizer discovered that four other Pfizer employees in the UK had re-tweeted the same post that was the subject of the complaint.  The full report notes that the re-tweets by Pfizer employees have been deleted but doesn’t mention when this happened.  It could have been within a day of Pfizer being contacted by PMCPA or it could have been many months later.  The re-tweets had been publicly visible for more than two years by the time the complaint was made.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">Although it’s not clear how efficient or effective PMCPA’s complaints procedure is, if you see pharmaceutical companies breaching the ABPI Code of Practice you can submit a complaint to PMCPA <a href="https://www.pmcpa.org.uk/complaints-procedure/make-a-complaint/">HERE</a>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img width="300" height="161" src="https://www.hopegirlblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/private-company-spies-300x161.jpg" class="webfeedsFeaturedVisual wp-post-image" alt="private company spies" style="display: block; margin: auto; margin-bottom: 5px;max-width: 100%;" link_thumbnail="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /><p>Companies are getting rich by contracting with the government to keep tabs on your movements and actions 24/7.</p>
<p>In fascist America, many of the corporations we do business with on a daily basis are in fact acting as secret agents of the government.</p>
<p>Facebook, Istagram, Google-YouTube, TikTok, etc., are all working with the government at every level. Your education data, your health data, your financial data, almost all of it can be requisitioned by the government at a moment’s notice and it will be turned over.</p>
<p>But some companies are turning over your personal data where you would least expect it. Remember, the very definition of fascism is when the private sector corporations are colluding with government agencies to oppress the people. Keep that in mind as we look at a shocking story that broke over the weekend that impacts almost every American.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13552111/FedEx-trucks-spying-cameras-police.html" rel="">The Daily Mail</a></strong>, citing an article in Forbes magazine, has a shocking story about FedEx using <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/ai/index.html" rel="">AI</a>-powered cameras installed on its trucks to serve as the watchful eyes of police departments nationwide.</p>
<p>The private postal-delivery firm has partnered with a $4 billion surveillance startup company based in Georgia called Flock Safety, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2024/06/19/fedex-police-help-cops-build-an-ai-car-surveillance-network/" rel="">Forbes</a> reported.</p>
<p>Flock specializes in automated license plate recognition and video surveillance, and already has a fleet of around 40,000 cameras spanning 4,000 cities across 40 states.</p>
<p>FedEx has teamed up with the company to monitor its facilities across the U.S., but under the deal it is also sharing its Flock surveillance feeds with law enforcement. And it is believed to be one of four multi-billion-dollar private companies with this type of arrangement.</p>
<p>Critics liken the move to rolling out a mass surveillance network – as it emerged that some local police departments are also sharing their Flock feeds with FedEx.</p>
<p>Here is a short exposé on Flock and its founder.</p>
<div id="youtube2-YGUZ9VWZ5-U" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;YGUZ9VWZ5-U&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM">
<div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/YGUZ9VWZ5-U?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" width="728" height="409" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" data-mce-fragment="1"></iframe></div>

<p>Jay Stanley, a policy analyst with the ACLU, told the <a href="https://www.pilotonline.com/2024/05/24/one-nation-under-watch-new-brand-of-largely-unregulated-mass-surveillance-is-expanding-in-virginia/" rel="">Virginian Pilot</a>: “There&#8217;s a simple principle that we&#8217;ve always had in this country, which is that the government doesn&#8217;t get to watch everybody all the time just in case somebody commits a crime.”</p>
<p>He adds that, “The United States is not China. But these cameras are being deployed with such density that it&#8217;s like GPS-tracking everyone.”</p>
<p>In response to Forbes&#8217; report that FedEx was part of Flock&#8217;s nationwide surveillance system, he told the outlet: “It raises questions about why a private company…would have privileged access to data that normally is only available to law enforcement.”</p>
<p>He went on to describe it as “profoundly disconcerting.”</p>
<p>Flock Safety&#8217;s cameras are used to track vehicles by their license plates, as well as the make, model, and color of their cars. Other identifying characteristics are also monitored, such as dents and even bumper stickers.</p>
<p>Lisa Femia, staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, warned that FedEx&#8217;s participation is open to abuse because private firms are not subject to the same transparency laws as police.</p>
<p>This, she told Forbes, could “leave the public in the dark, while at the same time expanding a sort of mass surveillance network.”</p>
<p>The Shelby County Sheriff&#8217;s Office in Tennessee confirmed its partnership with Flock in an email to Forbes, stating:</p>
<p>“We share reads from our Flock license plate readers with FedEx in the same manner we share the data with other law enforcement agencies, locally, regionally, and nationally.”</p>
<p>He also confirmed his department had access to FedEx’s Flock feeds.</p>
<p>So, in essence, FedEx is an arm of the government. More accurately, it’s the eyes and ears of the government. Treat it accordingly. If you’re able to install a gate across your driveway that would require them to leave packages there, do it. If not, make sure all garage doors, blinds, etc., are closed whenever you are expecting a delivery from this company.</p>

<p>More fear mongering related to elections (right now in Europe) – and yet another attempt to force more censorship on the strength of that fear.</p>
<p>This time, in Ireland, where the head of the country’s electoral commission, Art O’Leary, had a meeting with Big Tech to discuss how they are handling whatever gets branded as misinformation or disinformation.</p>
<p>And O’Leary came out of the meeting satisfied, in fact – “very happy.”</p>
<p>As if the scandalous collusion between the government and Big Tech was not a big topic in the US (having reached the Supreme Court) – over in Europe, a regulator has no qualms announcing there are now “safe channels” between tech juggernauts and his commission.</p>
<p>Either out of arrogance or ignorance, O’Leary <a href="https://www.thejournal.ie/art-oleary-electoral-commission-misinformation-disinformation-oireachtas-6305738-Feb2024/">revealed</a> that he heard promises from Google, Meta, TikTok, X, etc. – that algorithms can get “reset” to tackle “misinformation.”</p>
<p>The result of such a “reset” is entirely predictable: posts will either not appear on users’ timelines, or will be deranked into the ground – in O’Leary’s own words, they will appear “so far down as to be unreadable.”</p>
<p>And that’s just, if there is something Big Tech is “not clear about – if any issue was being investigated for mis- and disinformation.”</p>
<p>What exactly he had in mind by “unreadable” is O’Leary’s secret, but he did go on to express concern about state-actors and those who are not – the pesky citizens who have, or think they have the right to speak their mind online.</p>
<p>And if that is not to the government’s liking, then O’Leary has a disparaging way of talking about them: they must be posting “at 12 o’clock at night after a couple of bottles of beer, possibly a couple of bottles of wine.”</p>
<p>But during the (presumably daytime, though you never know with murky affairs) meetings with Big Tech reps were apparently quite sober, and obliging.</p>
<p>“I have been pleased by the attitude and respect that they have shown to us and to the process as part of that conversation,” said the Irish electoral commission chair.</p>
<p>“These are not easy meetings for any of us because we have particular requirements but I’m very, very happy with the level of engagement,” he added.</p>
<p>His statements may come across as at times clownish, but O’Leary also knows how to make an open threat.</p>
<p>“It would be a sad day” if his commission “had to” go to High Court “to compel a social media company to take down a post or ban a user” – previous reports quoted him as saying.</p>
<p>In other words, “that’s a nice social media company you have there – it would be a shame if something happened to it.”</p>
