And the Academy Award Goes To … Big Pharma?
I normally don’t write about Hollywood subjects because they bore me. But this year caught my attention because, despite the narrative, there appears to be more to the subject than meets the eye. And of course it has to do with pharmaceutical drugs and your health.
At this year’s Oscars, Chris Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head (she has alopecia), then her husband (and soon-to-be Best Actor winner) Will Smith ran onstage and slapped him. It’s hard to fathom why one of the most successful stars in Hollywood, a grown man, would deem it appropriate to assault another man in front of millions of people (or whatever is left of their audience). Obviously most people took a stance on either side of the debate.
One take is that assault is obviously wrong
The other angle was of defending the assault, which is obvious stupidity
Then there’s the obvious cultural takes of toxic masculinity, racism and alopecia being a disability (which is ridiculous):
While I won’t get into the semantics of the joke, I do want to point out that it’s not what’s talked about in relation to the incident that matters, but more about what the incident points to - alopecia. And that may make this event one of be the greatest example of subliminal advertising in history.
Look, the Oscar’s have been dying a slow death and I initially thought it might be a stunt to revive ratings. I don’t think it does that at all. The show is still pure drivel, with few watching this year and even less will watch it next year. So what was this slap all about?
The Advertising Angle
The Daily Angle writes: One of the theories regarding the slap heard 'round the world at this year's Academy Awards is that Will Smith smacked Oscar host Chris Rock on behalf of Big Pharma sponsors, who are developing new drugs to combat alopecia, the hair-loss condition suffered by Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
The implication is that the Will Smith-Chris Rock drama during the Oscars may have been nothing more than a subliminal publicity stunt for Pfizer's upcoming alopecia drug." Pfizer, Novartis, Eli Lilly, Incyte and Exact Sciences even sponsored the 2022 Academy Awards, which was 'an unusual turn for the industry.'
Why is that? because Jada Pinkett Smith has alopecia areata, and in an amazing turn of events, Pfizer, a primary sponsor of this year's Oscars, is working on an alopecia drug? They announced 'top-line results' from a Phase 2b/3 trial in August 2021.
Mercola.com states, "It's especially curious since three of the other sponsors – Eli Lilly, Incyte (partnering with Lilly) and Novartis – also have alopecia drugs nearly ready to go. Coincidence? Or a cleverly disguised publicity stunt for soon-to-be-released drugs? If the latter, it would put a whole new spin on the concept of subliminal advertising."
Of course, the self-proclaimed "fact-checkers" at Politifact have rated the claim false. But irrespective of whether the slap was staged, the event once again proved that the public can be swayed by vast advertising money: Check this out:
Big Pharma advertising does control what we hear and how we think. Just look at how Covid news was influenced and slanted. In 2021, drug companies spent $6.88 BILLION on direct-to-consumer advertising (DTCA). That’s a lot of dough to have a particular bias in favor of Big Pharma.
Again from Mercola.com:
Even more egregiously, over the past year, the U.S. government used your tax dollars to advertise the COVID jab, which is the most dangerous and least proven drug ever marketed.” How do we know this? Well, there's:
An unprecedented number of adverse reports after the COVID jab filed with the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS)
Insurance companies are reporting unprecedented death rates. For example, OneAmerica reported the death rate among working-age Americans in the third quarter of 2021 was 40% higher than prepandemic levels; the Hartford Insurance Company found mortality in 2021 was 32% higher than 2019 and 20% higher than 2020, and Lincoln National reports that claims were 54% higher in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to 2019 (compare that to an average year-over-year increase of 13.7%)
Funeral homes are reporting an increase in burials and cremations in 2021 compared to 2020, when the pandemic was at its peak
In Germany, a large health insurance company found the death rate after the rollout of the COVID jabs was 14 times higher than what was being reported by the German government, and according to a British government report, 9 out of 10 COVID deaths have occurred in people who were fully vaccinated.
I include the vaccine hysteria and distortion because over the past two years, this manipulation has come out into the open, whereas before the pandemic, it was pretty well disguised. And all of this affects your health because Big pharma is about profits only, never about your well being.
And here’s the tie in: A 2020 study published in Experimental Dermatology suggests that severe COVID-19 may increase the risk of gray hair and alopecia. Further, even the Covid vaccine has been tied to alopecia. For clarity, alopecia is a form of hair loss.
In short, what you saw at the Oscars may just have been an extremely effective propaganda campaign. Will Smith smacking the fire out of Chris Rock will be talked about for a long time, or certainly long enough to bring alopecia into the consciousness of the mainstream audience. That way the pharmaceutical cartels can eventually sell you more of their expensive and dangerous products. That’s what’s called controlling the narrative.
