In the following video, a member of the Austrian Parliament for the FPÖ (Freiheitliche Partei Österreichs, Austrian Freedom Party) calls out a woman named Emer Cooke, a former lobbyist for the pharmaceutical industry who is now on the board of the EU agency that regulates medicines — including the notorious AstraZeneca “vaccine”, which is currently the epicenter of a major controversy.

Video transcript:
| 00:00 | MP Gerald Hauser FPÖ [Austrian Freedom Party] | |
| 00:05 | Dr. Saxinger has just stated that the EMA [European Medicines Agency] | |
| 00:09 | has checked everything thoroughly. OK. | |
| 00:13 | The European Medicines Agency is responsible for | |
| 00:17 | monitoring and evaluating medicines in the EU, | |
| 00:21 | and is also responsible for their approval. | |
| 00:25 | And you probably also know Dr. Saxinger, who | |
| 00:29 | heads this EMA. Namely since November 16 2020, | |
| 00:33 | before there was even any discussion about vaccinations | |
| 00:37 | and the approval of vaccinations, a certain Dr. Emer Cooke — | |
| 00:41 | it can all be read here — | |
| 00:45 | and this Dr. Emer Cooke, | |
| 00:49 | who was appointed on November 16 2020 | |
| 00:53 | as the chairwoman [director] of the EMA | |
| 00:57 | is responsible for a budget in 2020 | |
| 01:01 | of approximately €306 million. | |
| 01:05 | And do you know what this budget is made up of? 91% | |
| 01:09 | of this budget comes from fees | |
| 01:13 | paid by the pharmaceutical companies. OK, so far, so good. | |
| 01:17 | And if you now look at the C.V. of Dr. Emer Cooke, | |
| 01:21 | I can tell you, and take a look at this: | |
| 01:25 | Since 1985 she has been | |
| 01:29 | working in various positions of the pharmaceutical | |
| 01:33 | industry. It is interesting | |
| 01:37 | to note that from 1991 | |
| 01:41 | to 1998 she was a director | |
| 01:45 | of the FBA. And do you know | |
| 01:49 | what the FBA is? The FBA is | |
| 01:53 | the lobbying organisation for the largest | |
| 01:57 | European Pharmaceutical Conglomerates. | |
| 02:01 | And do you know that she lobbied for eight years for the Big 30 | |
| 02:05 | of the European Pharmaceutical Industry? And do you know | |
| 02:09 | who her clients were? | |
| 02:13 | Guess who, Doctor? I’ll tell you right now if you don’t know, but you | |
| 02:17 | can guess: Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Novatis, | |
| 02:21 | Johnson and Johnson, and so on and so forth. | |
| 02:25 | So, this Dr. Emer Cooke, who was appointed | |
| 02:29 | in mid-November of 2020 to the EMA board | |
| 02:33 | has, all her life, | |
| 02:37 | worked for the pharma industry. She has lobbied | |
| 02:41 | in an executive capacity for the pharma industry and is now | |
| 02:45 | responsible for the approval and for the control and the efficacy | |
| 02:49 | of vaccines like AstraZeneca. | |
| 02:53 | Honoured colleagues, what would one | |
| 02:57 | say, even as a not-yet experienced parliamentarian, | |
| 03:01 | to such a case? What would one say? | |
| 03:05 | Outright insider deals, outright nepotism, | |
| 03:09 | bribery, everything possible, that’s how it is. | |
| 03:13 | Please think about this when in future | |
| 03:17 | you use the EMA as proof of | |
| 03:21 | the correctness of the testing of medical drugs. | |
| 03:25 | Gerald Hauser criticises Emer Cooke, the Director of the | |
| 03:29 | European Medicines Agency, the EMA, because Cooke | |
| 03:34 | has long lobbied for Big Pharma. |
