Good day all. One of the big things being pushed is testing everyone to see if they have the China Virus. There are also other tests to see if you have the antibodies indicating that you probably had the Wuhan Flu but didn’t know it.
Producing these testing kits is going to be big bucks to someone, and that someone may very well be the current governor of Illinois, J.B. Pritzker. Here are the details from Fox News:
Republicans in Illinois are crying foul that Gov. J.B. Pritzker could be financially benefiting from the coronavirus pandemic following reports that his family’s investment firm has a stake in two companies doing tests for the contagion.
Illinois GOP Chairman Tim Schneider said in a statement to Fox News that the Pritzker Group – the family firm run by the governor’s brothers – “controls the companies that are making millions off the pandemic” and called on the Illinois Democrat to divest any interest he had with the firm.
“Let’s be clear – Governor Pritzker and his family are clearly profiting off the COVID-19 crisis, and it’s appalling,” Schneider said. “The Pritzker Group controls the companies that are making millions off the pandemic, and the Governor stands to make huge profits.”
Well, well, well, another Democratic Politician looking to make a bundle off the taxpayers. Allow me to show you my shocked face.
While neither company has received a contract to conduct testing from the state of Illinois, Cue Health in late March was awarded a $13 million contract by the federal government to develop a test for the novel coronavirus.
According to Fox, they reached out to the governor for a comment. As expected, there was none. Pritzker allegedly put his holdings into a blind trust. You can make your own decisions on whether or not you believe him. He’s also personally loaded, being worth over $3 billion dollars. In other words, he’s just another rich Progressive who thinks he’s smarter then everyone else.
Critics of the governor, however, argue that putting his finances in a blind trust also makes it difficult to determine if Pritzker or his family is benefitting from his role as Illinois governor.
“The complex nature and the extraordinary lack of transparency about the governor’s wealth make it impossible for Illinoisans to know whether the governor is making decisions for the best interests of taxpayers or because of his personal financial interests,” Schneider said. “Pritzker must divest and come clean.
He added: “Anything less than a complete divestment from these companies and complete transparency about the Pritzker family financial holdings is simply not enough.”
That’s probably not going to happen. However, considering how this fat tub of lard has been pushing for testing everyone in America, I think there is a “There” there. Who knows? He might be moving in to former governor Rod Blagojevich’s old room.
