Got love big pharma!
The great reset and green new deal via the ruling class is drive us all toward a digital identity, the covid health pass is the doorway in, notice the change of wording with health pass, vaccine pass out, vaccine license was also thrown about.
To save the planet and our health we must take more vaccines and pills from big pharma, drive their profits as they are central to control going forward, they already are a big polluter and will be even bigger going forward in the new fascist system, just like the data centers to power the fourth industrial revolution will use more electricity/power than at any other point in history.
So now we the peasants must lower our carbon footprint by adhering to systems that increase our carbon footprint more, George Orwell would be proud.

Rarely does mention of the pharmaceutical industry conjure up images of smoke stacks, pollution and environmental damage.
Yet our recent study found the global pharmaceutical industry is not only a significant contributor to global warming, but it is also dirtier than the global automotive production sector.
It was a surprise to find how little attention researchers have paid to the industry’s greenhouse gas emissions. Only two other studies had some relevance: one looked at the environmental impact of the U.S. health-care system and the other at the pollution (mostly water) discharged by drug manufacturers.
More than 200 companies represent the global pharmaceutical market, yet only 25 consistently reported their direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions in the past five years. Of those, only 15 reported their emissions since 2012.
One immediate and striking result is that the pharmaceutical sector is far from green. We assessed the sector’s emissions for each one million dollars of revenue in 2015. Larger businesses will always generate more emissions than smaller ones; in order to do a fair comparison, we evaluated emissions intensity.
We found it was 48.55 tonnes of CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent) per million dollars. That’s about 55 per cent greater than the automotive sector at 31.4 tonnes of CO2e/$M for that same year. We restricted our analysis to the direct emissions generated by the companies’ operations and to the indirect emissions generated by the electricity purchased by these companies from their respective utilities companies.
The total global emissions of the pharma sector amounts to about 52 megatonnes of CO2e in 2015, more than the 46.4 megatonnes of CO2e generated by the automotive sector in the same year. The value of the pharma market, however, is smaller than the automotive market. By our calculations, the pharma market is 28 per cent smaller yet 13 per cent more polluting than the automotive sector.

Big Pharma emits more greenhouse gases than the automotive industry
The first study to assess the carbon footprint of the pharmaceutical industry finds that it is far from green.
