Pfizer claims the Texas court has no authority.

It is no exaggeration to say that one of Big Pharma’s biggest players, Pfizer, has had an excellent pandemic – over $100 billion in revenue in 2022 alone.

The rate at which this growth has been declining since Covid apparently made a disappearing act and the number of people willing to be vaccinated against it decreased dramatically, speaks clearly to how important the jab it produced in record time has been to Pfizer.

It logically follows that the giant would plausibly have done a lot of marketing “cackling” to protect this “golden goose.” And that is what a lawsuit brought by Texan authorities pretty much alleges – that Pfizer went as far as to use false and deceptive marketing to sell its vaccine and pushed for online censorship of criticism.

The lawsuit was filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, and now Pfizer is engaging in maneuvering to deal with the accusations – evidently hoping it has a better chance before a federal court than it does before the 99th Judicial District Court for Lubbock County.

Just days before the end of 2023, Pfizer’s attorneys asserted that the Lubbock-based court had no jurisdiction in the case, and asked that it be moved to the US District Court for the Northern District of Texas.

And while at it, they naturally want the whole lawsuit dismissed, citing things like shielded liability thanks to the PREP (Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness) Act – but also invoking speech protections that are supposed to be guaranteed by the First Amendment.

This last curious bit of legal gymnastics has to do with Pfizer acting on behalf of the federal government to produce the vaccine, adding that the corporation therefore seeks “immunity” – i.e., lack of liability – from the accusations listed in the filing.

“Pfizer is not liable because Pfizer did not make any statement nor take any action that had the capacity or tendency to deceive consumers,” is specifically how the US multinational phrased it in the motion to move, and dismiss the case.

Pfizer reacted fairly swiftly to the Texas AG lawsuit filed on the last day of November, which claims that false, misleading or deceptive claims had been made by the company concerning its Covid vaccine.

The goal, according to AG Paxton? An attempt to “intimidate and censor critics of the vaccine” which “violated the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act in marketing claims the company made about the efficacy, duration of protection and ability of its Covid-19 vaccine to prevent transmission.”

On censorship, the lawsuit states:

“One of the persons Pfizer sought to intimidate and silence was journalist Alex Berenson. Throughout early 2021, Berenson maintained a highly active Twitter page with hundreds of thousands of followers where he explained his findings and views concerning COVID-19, Pfizer’s vaccine, and other related issues. Many of Berenson’s claims were true at the time he made them and have been corroborated by subsequent data and analyses. Indeed, it recently has been revealed that Pfizer had reason to know of the veracity of Berenson’s claims when he made them and that the company nonetheless plotted to silence Berenson and eliminate his speech from public discourse.”

The lawsuit states how Pfizer board member Scott Gottlieb flagged journalist and Covid vaccine critic Alex Berenson’s tweet to Twitter.

Not everyone trusts the grid operator following the devastating blackout three years ago

The National Weather Service’s Climate Prediction Center forecasts extreme cold weather “across the heart of the country this weekend and is expected to continue into next week.” We previewed this cold blast in a note titled “Gobsmackingly Bananas”: Weather Models Predict Polar Vortex Invasion Into US. 

Whenever cold air spills south from Canada into the Heartland, attention usually shifts to Texas. 

Next, power demand forecasts from the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, the power grid operator for Texas, are analyzed to see if demand forecasts exceed supply. Current forecasts show ERCOT faces the first major test of grid stability for the new year. 

And this:

ERCOT has warned its 26 million Texas customers about the upcoming cold blast this weekend into next week. The grid operator assures customers, “Grid conditions are expected to be normal, and ERCOT expects to have sufficient supply to meet demand.” 

Energy-focused research firmCriterion Research told clients in a note Wednesday that ERCOT will likely survive the big cold shot:

 ERCOT has issued an Operating Condition Notice (OCN) for the upcoming cold weather event forecast from January 15-17, 2024. The OCN is the first of four levels of communication provided by the agency ahead of a possible Emergency Condition – the following three levels would be Energy Emergency Levels 1 through 3.

ERCOT’s current forecast run shows extreme demand conditions starting on Tuesday, January 16, 2024. That includes a projected peak load of 85,587 MW at 7 AM that morning. However, renewable generation from wind and solar are expected to help out as demand pushes to a seasonal record, with early morning wind + solar contribution 14,137 MW.

ERCOT issues a Monthly Outlook for Resource Adequacy (MORA) every month to provide a look at expectations for both peak load and available generation. The January 2024 MORA gives us a look at how much power the agency plans to have at its disposal during severe events. According to ERCOT, the grid should have approximately 71 GW of dispatchable generation this month. That total does not include projected renewables output as they classify that as “non-dispatchable” load as it can’t be called upon at-will. The guidance range for non-dispatchable load ranges from 18-24 GW for a typical January day.

During the upcoming cold shot, with ERCOT’s projected ‘peak demand’ of 85,587 MW and expected renewables of 14,137 MW, they will need 71,450 MW of dispatchable generation to make up the difference. Fortunately, that demand lines up with their available capacity for January. Should the electricity supply & demand balance tighten, ERCOT also has >5,280 GW in emergency resources at its disposal.

One critical difference between the upcoming cold shot and Winter Storm Uri in 2021 is the massive growth in ERCOT solar capacity. In 2021, Texas solar only accounted for 2-3 GW of peak generation during the day, whereas the agency shows solar at >15 GW during next week’s cold.

But not everyone trusts the grid operator following the devastating blackout three years ago: 

“Definitely a lot of people have PTSD from those blackouts that we had in February 2021. Then we had a storm that not as many people remember, Winter Storm Elliott, December 2022. This storm coming up next Monday and Tuesday is looking about as severe as that 2022 storm,” Rice University Professor of Environmental Engineering Daniel Cohan told local news Fox 26. 

Cohan noted that ERCOT has made some winterization improvements:

“There have been improvements. They’ve inspected all of the power plants in the state. They’ve made sure the gas grid functions better, so we don’t have the compressors go out when the power goes down.” 

The major question is whether the grid operator has enough excess power generation if extremely low wind conditions are seen during the cold blast. Also, if winterization efforts of the grid were properly completed after the cold blast three years ago, which caused billions of dollars in damage. 

Meanwhile, the 2023-24 Winter Reliability Assessment report by the North American Electric Reliability Corp. warned late last year that “insufficient energy supply” could emerge during extreme cold blasts. 

Here are the most at-risk power grids in the US that might experience blackouts in a cold blast. 

It may be time for a reliable full-house petrol-burning generator as the federal government has created more instabilities in the nation’s grid by ramming through unreliable wind and solar to decarbonize grids. 

But-but-but what about global warming?

Unhinged bus driver caught recklessly driving, obstructing camera, preventing migrants from leaving bus out of fear of exposing open-border migrant trafficking pipeline.

O’Keefe Media Group found themselves in a high-speed chase with a bus carrying illegal aliens that was attempting to avoid them covering the mass transport of migrants from major airports to destinations across the nation.

In a follow-up of his exposé of secret migrant facilities, OMG founder James O’Keefe documented how his effort to report on the transport operation of migrants from those facilities was met with fierce resistance from the bus drivers that resulted in Phoenix police intervening.

“Border Patrol insiders and citizen journalists both helped O’Keefe Media trace the origin of the buses to the Nogales Processing Center and secret ‘Law Enforcement Center’ (LEC) right along the Mexican border,” O’Keefe wrote on X.

He reported that buses arrive at the Phoenix migrant facility every hour on the hour and decided to follow one back to the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.

“The first thing that happened to us was the bus stopped on the side of the road, the driver got out and started taking video of us,” he reported.

The bus driver later tried backing into them in a show of intimidation and swerving out of and onto off-ramps in an attempt to lose the OMG journalists.

“This bus driver is currently driving recklessly trying to evade our ability to report on him dropping off the migrants at the airport,” O’Keefe said as they were tailing the bus.

The bus driver later refused to open the doors to let the migrants out while the OMG journalists were waiting outside, and even tried blocking their camera with his hand before eventually calling the police.

The police took their information without incident.

“You know, there is some irony with the bus filled with migrants shipping people via airports, and they’re calling the police on an American journalist for reporting on it,” O’Keefe remarked.
