The greatest part of the threat of corporatist integration of business and state is the incentive and the ability to artificially create or grow markets by legislative diktat.  This is the basic survival instinct of any office, to accumulate influence and power. The question is, by which method is this accomplished - open-market forces or coercion? The incestuous, revolving-door relationship between the top offices of the pharmaceutical industry and its regulators provides a sterling example of the latter dynamic. Between dumping the toxic byproducts of the aluminum industry into tapwater to ‘protect your teeth’, attempting to enact mandatory vaccination laws, and convincing governments to spend your tax dollar on overhyped ‘pandemics’, this state-pharma axis is subject to systemic bias and politicization. It ought to be dismantled as hazardous to your health.
