A must read. Trump administration gave an 812 million $ contract to a drug firm founded in Jan. 2020

So Trump and company knew the pandemic was coming and targeted certain
people or companies for some "sugar."

And how big a kick back has Jared harvested from Phlow?

And how many drugs to treat C-19 has the company made?

According to the health-news website STAT News, Edwards has come under scrutiny for his previous ventures.

An earlier company he founded, Kaleo, was the focus of a 2018 Senate investigation after it abruptly increased the price of an opioid-overdose treatment by more than 600%. Kaleo was also criticized by Sen. Chuck Grassley in 2017 for selling an EpiPen rival product for $4,500.

A Phlow representative told Business Insider that as the CEO of Kaleo, Edwards had no say over the company's pricing decisions.

Peter Navarro, President Donald Trump's trade adviser and a noted China critic, told The Wall Street Journal that he was introduced to Edwards in November by a Phlow board member, Rosemary Gibson.

Navarro told The Journal that Gibson had reached out after reading his book "Death By China," which warns of a US overreliance on Chinese pharmaceuticals.

These people so hate and fear China that they've just handed Europe to China.

Fucker.


It’s in no other language that I know of, not French, German, Italian, Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean.

In Hawaiian, with the diacritical mark, it’s an expression. In two words, ka leo, which is more common, it’s the voice.
