Study Finds All Major Pharmaceutical Companies Implicated in Bribery Schemes

by Carolyn Hendler, JD

Published 

A study published in February 2026 in the Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics is the first to compile decades of Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) enforcement records into a single analysis. Researchers Kohler, Khan, and Bowra reviewed OECD Working Group on Bribery reports from 1999 through early 2025 and found that virtually every major pharmaceutical company operating globally has been implicated in at least one foreign bribery scheme.1

The underlying cases were drawn from U.S. Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission enforcement actions documented over many years. Together, they reveal a pattern of corruption spanning dozens of countries and totaling more than one billion dollars in penalties.

Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, Sanofi Among Vaccine Companies Implicated

The researchers identified 21 investigations involving 19 pharmaceutical companies and numerous subsidiaries across five OECD member nations. The United States accounted for 14 of those investigations, followed by Germany and Denmark with three each, and Greece and Italy with one each.2 Among the companies publicly named were Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Novartis, Teva, GlaxoSmithKline, AstraZeneca, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Sanofi, Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, SciClone, BioTest, and Nordion.3

The study defines bribery as “the offering, promising, giving, accepting or soliciting of an advantage as an inducement for an action which is illegal, unethical or a breach of trust.”4

The authors explain:

… pharmaceutical company bribes and other financial inducements can distort prescribing and compromise regulations that are designed to ensure drug safety and efficacy. More generally, pharmaceutical industry corruption affects patient safety and health care resource allocation worldwide.5

Over One Billion Dollars in Sanctions Paid Out by Companies

The implicated companies paid a combined $1,111,225,911 in sanctions. That total included $586,263,414 in fines, $447,237,274 in returned profits, and $77,545,872 in prejudgment interest.6 Despite the scale of the financial penalties, not one company admitted wrongdoing in any of the 21 cases.7

How the Bribery Schemes Operated

The study found that bribery schemes were not isolated acts by low-level employees acting on their own. Rather, senior executives and regional directors within the drug companies approved and, in some cases, directed the payments. Subsidiaries, shell companies, and third-party vendors were used to route payments and give them the appearance of legitimacy. Twelve of the 19 investigations found that subsidiaries were used specifically to conceal bribery operations. The bribes were used to secure regulatory approvals, influence prescribing patterns, and drive drug sales in markets around the world.8

Bribes Hidden in Distributor Discounts

A second pattern identified in the study involved pharmaceutical companies granting unusually steep discounts to distributors. The distributors then used the excess funds to pay bribes to physicians and government officials. Companies falsely recorded the discounts as legitimate marketing or sales expenses, concealing the payments in their books.

The arrangement had a direct consequence for patients. When physicians received payments tied to a particular drug, their prescribing decisions were driven by financial benefit rather than patient need.10

Novartis Vietnam worked with a distributor that paid bribes directly to healthcare providers and reimbursed up to 50 percent of those costs through credit notes. Teva Mexico funneled cash to physicians through a Copaxone distributor and mislabeled the payments as revenue reductions. Eli Lilly’s Brazilian subsidiary granted discounts of 17 to 19 percent instead of the standard 10 percent, concealing a six percent bribe to state officials within the markup.11

Novartis

Between 2012 and 2015, a Novartis subsidiary in Greece bribed employees at state-owned hospitals and clinics to increase prescriptions for Lucentis, a drug used to treat macular degeneration. Physicians were paid more than $5,000 per event attended. Internal Novartis documents described the arrangement as a return on investment and tied physician payments to their prescription volumes.12

In South Korea, a Novartis subsidiary channeled more than $16.3 million through third-party medical journals as improper payments to physicians. In June 2020, Novartis and its subsidiaries agreed to pay $345 million to resolve Foreign Corrupt Practices Act charges brought by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Novartis Hellas SACI paid a criminal penalty of $225 million and entered a three-year deferred prosecution agreement.13

Johnson & Johnson

In Greece, Poland, and Romania, Johnson & Johnson subsidiaries and agents used slush funds, sham contracts, and offshore accounts in the Isle of Man to reward physicians and hospital administrators. The drug company was also accused of paying kickbacks in Iraq.

Johnson & Johnson agreed to pay more than $48 million to resolve SEC charges and $21.4 million to resolve parallel DOJ criminal charges. However, the large pharmaceutical company did not admit or deny the allegations.14

Pfizer

Pfizer subsidiaries in Italy and Russia were accused by the SEC in 2012 of paying bribes over approximately a decade to foreign government officials. They paid the bribes in order to secure regulatory and formulary approvals, boost sales, and increase prescriptions.

After voluntarily disclosing the misconduct in 2004, Pfizer agreed to pay $26.3 million to the SEC to resolve the charges. Its subsidiary Pfizer HCP paid a separate $15 million criminal penalty to the DOJ. Like the other big pharmaceutical companies, Pfizer did not admit or deny the allegations.15

Teva

Teva Pharmaceuticals made illicit payments to government officials in Russia, Ukraine, and Mexico to increase market share, according to the U.S. Department of Justice and the SEC. Those payments generated $214 million in illegal profits. Teva agreed to pay $283 million in criminal fines to the DOJ and $236 million in disgorgement and prejudgment interest to the SEC, for a combined total of $519 million.16

GlaxoSmithKline

GlaxoSmithKline’s subsidiary in China was fined CN¥3 billion by Chinese authorities after an investigation found it had bribed physicians to increase drug sales. It was the largest fine imposed by a Chinese court at the time. The Securities and Exchange Commission later resolved Foreign Corrupt Practices Act charges against the company for the same conduct, settling for $20 million.17

AstraZeneca and Sanofi

AstraZeneca paid $5.5 million to the SEC to resolve charges that it made improper payments to government-controlled healthcare providers in China and Russia.18 Sanofi settled Foreign Corrupt Practices Act charges with the SEC for $25.2 million in 2018. The agency found that employees and agents in multiple countries made improper payments to foreign officials, including physicians, between 2011 and 2015.19

Zero Admissions of Wrongdoing

Across all 21 investigations spanning more than two decades of OECD monitoring, no pharmaceutical company admitted any wrongdoing. Companies paid the over one billion dollars in combined penalties and moved forward. The study’s authors concluded that bribery in the pharmaceutical sector is not an isolated event but a systemic and recurring feature of how some of the world’s largest drug companies have operated in markets across the globe.20 21

The authors suggest that the wide-spread pattern of bribery across the pharmaceutical industry is indicative of institutional corruption. Both the legal and illegal acts of bribery by big pharma “pervert institution’s function under conditions that may promote personal benefit” and serve to undermine the public.

Washington Joins WHO Pandemic Orchestration & Surveillance Network ‘GOARN’ – Citing Bird Flu as Justification

Washington Joins WHO Pandemic Orchestration and Surveillance Network ‘GOARN’—Citing Bird Flu as Justification

Follows California, Illinois, Colorado, and New York City’s entry into same transnational WHO outbreak coordination system.
Jon Fleetwood
Apr 16, 2026

Governor Bob Ferguson announced this month that Washington State is now part of the World Health Organization Global Outbreak and Response Network (GOARN), an international syndicate of “public health agencies, national governments, academic centers, laboratories, and response organizations focused on rapidly detecting and responding to public health emergencies,” according to a press release from the Washington State Nurses Association (WSNA).

Washington joins California, Illinois, Colorado, and New York City by entering GOARN.

According to WSNA, Washington’s public health leaders will fall in line with the WHO’s:

  • global outbreak early-warning alerts, meaning real-time surveillance tied into an international detection system
  • technical collaboration and support during major public health events, meaning coordinated response across jurisdictions
  • international training, exercises, and best-practice exchanges, meaning standardized response protocols
  • and coordinated outbreak response support, meaning integrated deployment during declared emergencies.

Congress has already confirmed that the WHO’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic “was an abject failure” and that the WHO’s “newest effort to solve the problems exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic — via a “Pandemic Treaty” — may harm the United States.”

This means Washington’s decision comes despite federal findings that the WHO mismanaged the last pandemic and is advancing new agreements that could expand its influence over future responses.

You can contact Gov. Ferguson’s office here to voice your opposition to Washington’s integration into a WHO-linked outbreak surveillance and response system and demand accountability for aligning state public health infrastructure with failed global coordination mechanisms.  (See link for article)

**Comment**

Take away: states are bypassing the federal government’s move to remain sovereign and not under the umbrella of unelected globalists like the international WHO; however, it’s all clear as mud as there still remains a legal path for U.S./WHO collaboration due to Congress authorizing up to 60 U.S. Public Health Service employees assigned to work through and with WHO-funded programs, alongside USAID and UNICEF—entities closely integrated with the same global health governance framework.

In global health policy, “child survival activities” is a broad WHO umbrella that routinely includes vaccination campaigns, disease surveillance, outbreak response, and health-system operations, meaning the statute authorizes U.S. personnel to work inside WHO-funded public-health infrastructure—not narrow, child-only care—despite the formal withdrawal.

Congress also enacted legislation allocating at least $5.5 billion in taxpayer funding to finance pandemic and outbreak preparedness in fiscal year 2026—despite no declared pandemic and no formal emergency authorization.

The funding is contained in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026 (H.R. 7148), which Trump signed into law on February 3, 2026, after the bill passed both chambers of Congress and was presented to the White House earlier that day.  Source

Influenza is the only purported virus explicitly named in the statute.

It’s important to note that Sayer Ji’s beautifully laid out article, “20 Year Architecture Behind Pandemic As a Business Model With Bill Gates at the Center,” gives the whole bloody picture.

All of this should feel like déjà vu to anyone reading this website, because it’s been done before, like a bad movie script that keeps being recycled, and now states are making global tyranny even easier to achieve!

Globally orchestrated
Problem, Reaction, Solution

It’s a win, win for the powerful who gain financially.

Important quote:

The same architects of the last plandemic are priming the world for the next one — the inevitable consequence of a world that never held them accountable.

Trump Appoints Proponent of Vaccine Mandates to CDC While the Organization Considers New Medical Code to Classify COVID Vaccine Injuries

https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/erica-schwartz-maha-activists-criticize-trump-pick-lead-cdc/

‘Cause for Real Concern’: MAHA Activists Criticize Trump’s Pick to Lead CDC

Dr. Erica Schwartz, President Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the CDC, is a physician and former Coast Guard officer and public health official. In a video posted on Instagram, Schwartz said, “When I was a military physician, my job was all about readiness. It was all about public health prevention, vaccines, early detection.”

Article Excerpts:

Alongside Schwartz’s nomination, Trump announced three new appointments to key CDC leadership posts:

  • Dr. Sara Brenner, currently the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) principal deputy commissioner, was named public health adviser to Kennedy.
  • Dr. Jennifer Shuford, currently commissioner of the Texas Department of Health and Human Services, was named CDC deputy director and chief operating officer.
  • Sean Slovenski, former president of Walmart Health & Wellness, was named deputy director and chief operating officer of the CDC.

According to the Times, the White House is “veering away” from Kennedy’s “vaccine skepticism” in the lead-up to this year’s midterm elections. The Washington Post reported that polls have shown “vaccines could be a GOP liability” in this year’s elections.

Other polls, however, have shown broad — and growing — support for stricter safety reviews of vaccines and rising opposition to mandates.

In a post on X, attorney Aaron Siri — who represents several vaccine injury victims and delivered a “scathing” presentation on the childhood immunization schedule to the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices last year — criticized Schwartz for her “long track record” of supporting vaccines and vaccine mandates.

“This agency does not need another cheerleader for industry; it needs a regulator over industry. Her prior promotion, let alone mandates, of nearly a dozen different vaccines leave little hope she will objectively oversee CDC’s vaccine program,” Siri wrote. His post included links with “examples of Schwartz mandating vaccines.”

Political economist Toby Rogers, Ph.D., a fellow with the Brownstone Institute for Social and Economic Research, wrote on X that Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, who made waves last year for announcing the end of vaccine mandates in the state, would have been a better choice.

“Instead the White House is leaning toward Erica Schwartz who ordered the fraudulent PCR tests that were part of the Covid psyop,” Rogers wrote.

According to the Times, Schwartz, who ran the government’s COVID-19 testing program during the pandemic, has “publicly supported vaccines and preventive medicine.”  (See link for article)

**Please remember that the COVID gene therapy shots are NOT true vaccines and the CDC had to change the definition for them to even be considered vaccines.
And, never forget the PCR scam that was used to inflate cases so they could push an ineffective, dangerous gene therapy shot that they still haven’t come clean on.  It’s been determined that 86% of PCR-positive cases were not real infections.**

CDC Considers New Medical Code to Classify Vaccine Injuries

by Natasha Hobley

Published 

CDC Considers New Medical Code to Classify Vaccine Injuries

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is considering a proposal to formally recognize injuries associated with COVID-19 vaccinations as a diagnosable condition that can be recorded in medical records.1

The International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10), a standardized system used to classify diagnoses, symptoms, and procedures, could be updated under the proposal. Introduced by the nonprofit organization React19, which represents individuals who report reactions, injuries and deaths after receiving COVID-19 shots, the measure would add a specific diagnostic code to the existing framework.1

New Code Classifying COVID Shot Injuries Would Help to Track, Treat Adverse Reactions

Mary Stanfill, a CDC health information specialist, said the code would allow for providers to “identify, track, and study patients who experience adverse effects specifically related to COVID vaccines.” The codes are also used for insurance payouts, as well as research and statistical analysis.1

Andrew Nixon, spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) stated that public comments will influence whether the plan for the code is finalized. Comments from the public must be submitted by mid-May.

“It’s hard to treat what you can’t define,” said Joel Wallskog, a doctor who developed health issues following vaccination. Wallskog is also co-chairman of React19, and he stated that establishing a code would make it easier to spot vaccine injuries in medical records and could also lead to better research into vaccine adverse events.1

More Descriptive Language for Reaction Symptoms Following COVID Shots

In March 2026, The New York Times obtained a leaked federal work group report that introduced a new medical condition it calls “post-acute COVID-19 vaccination syndrome” or PACVS. This clinical entity is defined as a “heterogeneous, prolonged symptoms involving multiple organ systems persisting at least 12 weeks after vaccination and unexplained by another condition.”2

The report estimated that COVID shot injuries affect anywhere between one in 33,000 people to one in 111 young and middle-aged individuals.2

Post-Vaccination Exercise Intolerance, Extreme Fatigue, Insomnia

In March of 2025, Yale News reported on a “little understood, persistent condition referred to as post-vaccination syndrome (PVS)” which is characterized by chronic symptoms that developed soon after receiving a COVID shot. The symptoms include exercise intolerance, excessive fatigue, brain fog, insomnia, and dizziness. These symptoms develop within a day or two after the vaccination and become increasingly severe.

Yale researchers are taking steps to characterize the condition and pinpoint potential immunological patterns that contribute to these reactions.

“It’s clear that some individuals are experiencing significant challenges after vaccination. Our responsibility as scientists and clinicians is to listen to their experiences, rigorously investigate the underlying causes, and seek ways to help,” said Harlan Krumholz, MD, co-senior author of the study and Professor of Medicine at Yale.3

Yale Researchers Find Spike Protein in Blood 700 Days After Last COVID Shot

The research team found that some study participants with PVS had detectable levels of spike protein more than 700 days after their last shot. This pattern has also been associated with long COVID. One researcher noted that it was “surprising” to find the spike protein circulation at such a late point in time.

Admission That Every Medical Intervention Carries Risks, Including Vaccines

“We’re only just starting to make headway in understanding PVS,” said Dr. Krumholz. “Every medical intervention carries some risk, and it’s important to acknowledge that adverse events can occur with vaccines.3

Pfizer Reboots Lyme Vaccine Linked to Lyme-Disease-Like Autoimmune Arthritis and Class Action Lawsuits

This needs to be a hard pass for everyone on planet earth …..

Pfizer Reboots Lyme Vaccine Linked to Lyme-Disease-Like Autoimmune Arthritis and Class Action Lawsuits

Forces your body to flood bloodstream with antibody proteins that ticks consume during feeding.
Jon Fleetwood
Apr 20, 2026

Pfizer and Valneva have advanced their experimental Lyme disease vaccine, PF-07307405 (LB6V, formerly VLA15), using the same core biological mechanism that sparked autoimmune arthritis concerns, lawsuits, and the eventual withdrawal of the only previous Lyme vaccine, LYMErix.

The jab works by forcing the body to produce antibodies against a bacterial protein that resembles a protein found in your own joint tissue, meaning those antibodies may also recognize similar structures in your joints and trigger an immune response there.

That means a mechanism previously tied to immune responses against joint tissue—producing Lyme-like symptoms—is now being brought back and positioned for broad public rollout.

Moreover, current data tracks antibody levels in the bloodstream over months, but does not map where those antibodies distribute in human tissues or how repeated boosting affects immune activity over the long term.  (See link for article)

**Comment**

Great article.  Really.  I wish I could have said it better.

If the above information doesn’t scare you enough – catch this: the vaccine forces the body to produce large quantities of anti-OspA IgG that remain inactive UNTIL a tick bites you, then the activity takes place INSIDE the tick.  Come again? 

To further the horror, the SAME molecular OspA mimicry in LYMRrix is in in the Pfizer Lyme vaccine, only this new vaccine expands the design across SIX borrelia serotypes.  Translation: even more than the estimated 30% of vaccinated people could get treatment resistant arthritis as a result of covering more serotypes of Bb AND due to the necessary boosters.

And to pound the nail in the coffin for good, reported adverse events were declared to be unrelated to the vaccine by investigators who all worked for Pfizer!  

Fleetwood does all of us a favor by critically looking at the study and exposing the fact there isn’t data showing tissue distribution and long term effects, especially after repeated exposure – the SAME exact blind spots LYMErix had…..

History repeats itself……yet again.

Pfizer’s Tick ‘Vaccine’ Exposed

Pfizer’s Tick Vaccine EXPOSED, Iran War Escalates & Trump’s Greatest Reset

By Man in America

April 14, 2026

It’s tick season again.

Time magazine says so. Climate scientists say so. And right on cue, within 72 hours of the headlines going out, Pfizer announced a Lyme disease vaccine candidate that “demonstrates strong efficacy.”

Isn’t that something.

I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking I’m supposed to move on. Accept the timing as coincidence. Stop connecting dots. But here’s the thing: the dots aren’t mine to connect. They’re in the documents. Declassified. Public record. And what they show should make your blood run cold.

So bear with me, because I want to walk you through something that most people have never been told. Not because the information is hidden in some dark corner of the internet, but because the people who would normally tell you about it have every reason not to.

The Origin Story They Never Told You

In 1975, a cluster of children in Old Lyme, Connecticut were diagnosed with a mysterious arthritis condition nobody had ever seen before. Within years it spread across the Northeast. Today it’s the most common vector-borne illness in the country, roughly half a million new cases every year.

The official explanation? A naturally occurring tick-borne bacteria that humans simply hadn’t encountered before.

But the geography is strange. The timing is strange. And the town where this disease first appeared sits exactly 13 miles across the Long Island Sound from a secret U.S. government research island called Plum Island.

That’s not where the strangeness ends.

In 1968, seven years before the official “discovery” of Lyme disease, three separate tick-borne diseases emerged simultaneously in that same small region. Not one. Three. Babesiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and early Lyme arthritis. Three distinct pathogens, same geography, same narrow window of time.

That’s not a coincidence. That’s a statistical impossibility.

By the 1990s, the eastern end of Long Island had the highest concentration of Lyme disease anywhere in the world.  (See link for article)

**Comment**

I’ve been harping the same exact things for decades.  Glad to be joined by more voices.

The author of the above article has personally seen with his own eyes the prevalence of this horror on steroids.  He dives into the biological weapons program including Project 112, involving every branch of the military and every intelligence agency, Operation Big Itch, Operation Big Buzz, as well as the fact the CIA was dropping infected ticks from airplanes and that 32 operational tasks are confirmed in declassified documents where the methodology sections remain heavily redacted. 

What I appreciate about the article is the fact he states, “It’s almost like they wanted these things to spread,” as well as the fact he doesn’t mince words by stating that the man who built the weapon got credit for discovering the disease.  That would be none other than Willy Burgdorfer – the man known for experimenting with ways to infect ticks with more than one pathogen simultaneously.

To this day, mainstream medicine ignores this very salient fact: Lyme rarely comes alone, significantly complicating cases.  Lyme/MSIDS remains in no-man’s land.

“The story doesn’t fit anything I trained for in my infectious disease fellowship. Even today, I’d posit that PTLD is like an island — it’s still not connected to a lot of the mainstream of medicine.” ~ Dr. John Aucott

There haven’t been any NIH funded RCTs for Lyme disease in the past 20 years and remains void of FDA-approved therapies, void of any consensus on the off-label use of medications, and without any current standard of care or proven mechanisms and pathophysiology, which in my opinion are all good things!  The reason for this is due to the fact the entire debacle needs a major do-over from the get-go. Pleomorphism and polymicrobialism must be taken into account.

Nobody has a clue how being infected with multiple things affects testing which everyone knows is abysmal and misses most cases.

I also appreciate the fact he shows that the institutional response to all inquiries into bioweaponization follows the same sequence every time:

Cooperation collapses into obstruction. Records get restricted or destroyed. A natural origin story gets promoted, a bat market, a warm winter, climate change. Investigators get their credibility attacked instead of their evidence engaged. The institution investigates itself. And then it clears itself.

Bingo.
And now, right on cue, Pfizer has a vaccine. Safe and effective. Say it with me.
