Today, the FDA announced that Lupin Pharmaceuticals has recalled four lots of their “Quinapril” blood pressure medication. According to the press release, the affected batches contained too much of an impurity called “N-Notroso-Quinapril”.
The problem is that, taken over a long period of time, that impurity may increase the risk of cancer.
So, rather than take the chance that someone will consume handfuls of the tablets for years, they pulled everything from the shelves.
The press release also said that there was no immediate danger to patients taking the drug. Patients shouldn’t stop taking the medication but should check in with their physician when convenient.
Hmm. Let’s see. The drug is dangerous enough to recall, but not dangerous enough to stop taking it. That doesn’t sound so bad.
Being the curious type that I am, I wanted to know more. I made up the part about having to take handfuls of pills and I thought it would be interesting to know what the real risk is.
It took me a little digging to find out. Back in March, Pfizer Canada recalled their blood pressure medicine “Accuretic” because of a similar contamination with N-Notroso-Quinapril. According to that article, and I’ll put the link below, “the potential risk of cancer is with long-term exposure (every day for 70 years) to the nitrosamine impurity above the acceptable level.”
Now, I don’t know for sure if the level of danger is the same for taking a contaminated batch of Quinapril as it was for Accuretic, I’m going to assume it’s at least close. After all, both press releases use almost the exact same language showing almost exactly the same amount of non-urgency. And the FDA pretty much sets the standard for similar agencies across the globe.
So, I am making a few assumptions here, but not anything unreasonable.
The point is, Pfizer recalled batches of a drug that, according to regulators, may increase your risk of cancer if you took that medication every day for 70 years.
I find that very interesting.
I couldn’t find much information on the eight drug lots recalled but I did find that they all expired no later than 2024. So, it’s highly unlikely that it was even possible for someone to take their drug for three years, let alone 70.
According to a study I found on the website for the National Institute of Health, hypertension (aka high blood pressure) is considered “early-onset” when it occurs in someone less than 55 years of age. Let’s be ultra conservative and drop that down to 30 years old. Someone who started taking Accuretic when they were 30 would be 100 years old before they experienced a “potential” increase in the risk of cancer. And that’s only if they could somehow manage to stockpile a 70-year supply of tainted drugs.
I can’t be the only one who sees how ridiculous this is.
Double Standard
On one hand, the specific risk to someone who ingests contaminated Accuretic for a year or two is, worst case, minuscule. The risk associated with taking three or four of their recalled pills is too small to calculate.
But they recalled it anyway…just to be safe.
On the other hand, people are dropping like flies after even a single injection of the Pfizer COVID vackseen (brand name “Comirnaty”). And, having three or four injections not only increases the risk of dropping dead, it also increases the risk of catching the disease it’s supposed to prevent.
But they’re not recalling their COVID vackseen. Instead, Pfizer keeps pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into marketing campaigns telling people they should remain afraid of COVID, and what a wonderful thing their drug is.
The Pfizer vackseen have been proven to cause myocarditis and pericarditis. Pfizer admits that. And, while they claim the risk is low, it can’t possibly be lower than the chance of someone taking a contaminated pill every day for 70 years.
According to Pfizer when talking about their recalled blood pressure medicine, “There is no immediate risk to patients taking this medication.”
So, they’re NOT OK with a drug that poses no urgent risk, but they are OK with a drug that is so unsafe, a single dose can result in immediate death.
The VAERS database currently shows that 5,758 people have died after being injected with the Pfizer vackseen. You all know how I feel about the VAERS data but it’s all we have to work with. In my opinion, 90% of VAERS data is crap. But most estimates say that only 10% of adverse reactions are reported. So, multiplying the answer by 10 and then dividing by 9 still puts us pretty close to what’s in the database.
That’s nearly 6,000 deaths. Just from the Pfizer vackseen. Just in the United States.
Could someone please explain to me how this makes any sense?
If that’s where it stopped, it would be bad enough.
It Gets Worse
Spend a few minutes on Google and you’ll easily find testimonials from people who have been injected with the Pfizer vackseen, and wish they were dead. These poor people are doomed to spend the rest of their lives with bodies damaged beyond repair by a drug they were told was safe and effective.
Let’s assume for a moment that you don’t believe all their stories. Let’s say that you only believe one of them. That single instance would still make the risk of taking the Pfizer COVID drug greater than the potential increased risk of cancer you may get by taking more than 25,000 contaminated blood pressure pills.
But you and I both know the number of injured people is greater than one. There are hundreds of thousands of people who have been permanently damaged by the Pfizer COVID vackseen. And that’s not even counting the skyrocketing number of miscarriages and stillbirths being reported worldwide.
And if that weren’t enough, numerous recent studies have linked Pfizer’s vackseen to ALS, Alzheimer’s and other neurological degenerative diseases. Talk about a gift that keeps on giving.
However you calculate it, the risks associated with the Pfizer COVID vackseen is magnitudes greater than the risks associated with a medication Pfizer was forced to recall because it maybe, someday, might cause a potential problem.
It doesn’t take a genius to understand what’s going on. You just have to follow the money. Accuretic generates so little revenue for Pfizer, I can’t even find a report indicating its financial performance. But their COVID vackseen is on track to generate $34 BILLION for Pfizer in 2022. And that’s up from almost zero just two years ago.
Like I said, the Pfizer recall was in Canada and I don’t know if the U.S. requirements are the same. Maybe in the U.S., someone would have to take Pfizer’s blood pressure medication for 60 years for it to be harmful instead of 70. Or maybe it’s 80 years.
Any way you slice it, it’s still ridiculous. Because regardless of what the number is, at least there is a number. And that’s more than we can say for the poison being hawked as a way of preventing COVID. A poison that doesn’t take 70 years or so to maybe harm you. But rather, one that damages your body with each and every injection.
How can anyone look at this and trust government regulators ever again? Just thinking about it makes my blood pressure rise. But I needn’t worry, because Pfizer has a blood pressure medication I’m sure they’d be happy to sell me.
