QUOTE: "Attorney Generals from 44 states have filed a lawsuit accusing America's largest drug manufacturers of conspiring to artificially inflate prices for more than 100 different generic medications by up to 1,000 per cent. The suit filed in federal court in Connecticut on Friday implicates 20 pharmaceutical firms, including Teva, Pfizer, Novartis and Mylan, as well as 15 individual senior executives responsible for sales, marketing and pricing."

Follow the money, always follow the money; politicos usually have great motivation when money is at stake, or available to steal, lol. Will this end in the favor of the people, or ?

QUOTE: "The complaint puts Teva at the center of the conspiracy, saying it colluded with a core group of competitors to follow each other’s price increases. During a 19-month period from 2013 to 2015, Teva significantly raised prices on about 112 generic drugs and colluded with its competitors on at least 86 medicines, the states said. While the size of the increases varied, some were more than 1,000%."

TEVA is the company at the heart of this conspiracy; it's located in Israel.

CVac, the “cancer vaccine” is a main product of this corporation, still not seeing success. As we have exposed in past articles, figures in academia and government hype cancer causing viruses over avoiding carcinogens and general good health to profit from vaccination. Her company has worked closely with some of the world’s largest pharmaceutical corporations, Novartis and GlaxoSmithKline."
