Gates Foundation CEO Steps Down and Former CDC Director Dumps $9.11 Million in Shares of Merck Stock

Source:

Nearly lost in all the noise over the impeachment debacle and constant fear-mongering surrounding the “coronavirus” outbreak, were two notable events involving major career vaccine pushers.

In December 2019, news quietly broke that Sue Desmond-Hellman would be stepping down as CEO of Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Even more quiet was her announcement 2 months earlier that she would be stepping down as lead director on the board at Facebook.

Vox reported that her departure is due to sudden health issues (also WSJ reported here):

Now, it appears health issues are causing her to step aside. Desmond-Hellmann also held power as a lead independent director on the board of Facebook, which she announced she was leaving this fall.

And as if that wasn’t newsworthy enough in itself, news of another event came across my Twitter feed about former CDC director Julie Gerberding, who is currently enjoying her revolving door rite of passage as an executive at Merck, sold $9.11 million in shares of Merck stock this month.

I had to do a double-take on that 9.11 number before I went to verify it from another source. Sure enough, as also reported by Slater Sentinel and SEC filings, it’s accurate.

And there’s more! Apparently Gerberding still sits on shares valuing over $9 million more.

That’s another $9 million more coming if Merck doesn’t tank:

Merck & Co., Inc. (NYSE:MRK) EVP Julie L. Gerberding sold 102,073 shares of the business’s stock in a transaction on Monday, January 13th. The stock was sold at an average price of $89.34, for a total transaction of $9,119,201.82. Following the sale, the executive vice president now owns 106,099 shares in the company, valued at $9,478,884.66. The sale was disclosed in a legal filing with the SEC, which is accessible through this link.

This is by far the most value in shares Gerberding’s ever sold in one transaction in the last 10 years since she became the president of Merck’s vaccine division, in 2009. The last time she pulled out millions worth in one transaction like this, as we reported a year ago, came only one day before the 2016 presidential election of Donald Trump and amounted to $5.6 million. Before that it was $2.3 million in 2015.

Only time will tell if the timing of these two announcements had anything to do with other world events currently unfolding before the public’s eyes.

Makes you wonder.

Do they know something that the public should know about? It wouldn’t be the first time…stay vigilant!

America was not founded in christian principles. Read the Constitution! It called separation of church and state. People came here to get away from heavy handed religious rules imposed upon them, ie. The Mayflower. Go back and read the founding father’s letters and statements and quit trying to force your beliefs on other people.

It was founded on freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion. The words, “separation of church and state” do not appear anywhere in the Constitution. It says that the State cannot establish a religion that all have to follow.

There is not a single reference in the constitution to the separation of church and state. Don’t be an ignoramus.

You need to read the Constitution. It calls for Freedom of Religion and NOT separation of church and state. Separation of Church and State was a phrase taking out of a letter written by Thomas Jefferson to a Baptist church which was meant to say the government would stay out of people’s religious preferences, not visa versa.

You have that backwards Sir! What the first amendment says is, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…” Which means our Founding Fathers didn’t want the government getting involved with their religion. They wanted the freedom to worship as CHRISTIANS and not have Catholicism forced on them like in Britain! Thomas Jefferson also wrote other letters about this separation in more detail! YOU sir should read them sometime!! https://twitter.com/prageru/status/1227715754147098624?s=21

The constitution says nothing about separation of church and state. That was in a letter to the Danbury Baptists. You look again and tell me where it is in the constitution. No one trying to force beliefs on anyone but we have freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM it.

TJ Russell-Zapata, you’ve got your history backwards. The only thing the constitution says about religion is that no state shall declare an official religion. The Puritans and other settlers were much more strict and severe in their beliefs than the people in control of the European countries they were escaping, so they actually came here to get away from those trying to interfere with their devout religious beliefs.

No one is “forcing” anything! Stop trying to impede in on Christian’s rights to “express” their “religious beliefs”. You seem to be infringing on two of our rights. The last time I checked this site doesn’t have a .gov attached to it’s webpage. You “express yourself” as if you’re a commie! If you like communism, go live in China. Communists Love it there!

You’re entirely wrong,. You need to read the constitution for yourself and stop listening to the dipstick, socialists and Democrats. THAT IS NOT WHAT IT SAYS!! Read it and then prove your head is not so far up your rear. It says no government can control your faith! It has nothing to do keeping religion out of school. 🙄🙄🙄

The Constitution states that the government will not establish a state religion. We are free to worship as we see fit. Our Declaration states that we are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights.

In Revelations, God tells Christians to “Stand with Israel”. Not sometimes nor only if we agree with them, but to simply stand with Israel. I think that’s more of an indicator for Christians as to who we should trust and elect as government officials, based on the fact that it’s kinda hard to know who to trust these days. God will take care of the rest. We Christians must simply trust in God’s word and do as he commands, and stop trying to be the “judge”.

Merck happens to be the sole pharma (as per statement from my surgeon) that produces a 95.7% cure rate chemical cocktail (BCG). I was quite literally covered with the cancer … 80 to 90% covered. I had two surgeries 30 days apart, and had to be chemically paralyzed for both. After surgery, and 90 days later, I went through the 6 week treatment, once per week. Then, upon my check-up, it revealed 3 small pink spots that he then removed and sent out to the lab. It came back cancer, but it was only 3 small spots at that time… Read more »
