Pritzker family owns stake in company providing COVID-19 tests

Matthew Rago, Editor-in-Chief, NEIU Independent, May 18, 2020

A private capital group owned by the Pritzker family possesses a stake in a COVID-19 testing, according to the Pritzker Group Private Capital website.

According to the company’s website, PathGroup, which describes itself as one of the largest “private providers of anatomic pathology and clinical lab services” in the United States, partnered with Pritzker Group Private Capital to recapitalize, or replace debt with stock, in 2016.

An announcement dated Aug. 1, 2016, reads:

“Pritzker Group Private Capital and co-investors including Vesey Street Capital Partners invested alongside PathGroup’s management team and pathologists, who continue to hold a significant ownership stake in PathGroup and will continue to lead the company’s growth as the preferred provider of comprehensive anatomic, clinical and molecular pathology services.”

On March 16, PathGroup announced that the company would begin offering COVID-19 testing for individuals who meet the CDC’s clinical and/or epidemiological criteria

Gov. Pritzker carries a history of using his personal fortune to fund Illinois expenses. In January of 2020, the Illinois Senate introduced a bill aimed at preventing Pritzker from using private finances on public expenses.

Pritzker attempted to add $150,000 to the $148,000 designated toward the salary of Pritzker’s chief of staff.  Pritzker also used his estimated $3.4 billion fortune to pay $3 million in state expenses, including increased salaries for 16 top staffers.

Pritzker’s willingness to use private dollars on public expenses drew the ire of political opponents.

“Are they doubling the salary? Is this a bonus for getting legislation passed? [That] would be of extreme concern, basically, that’s pay for performance when it comes to governance and that would be highly unethical,” said Naperville Rep. Grant Wehrli.

Eternally corrupt Chicago is the ideal spot for an obese swine like this guy!

Vacations in Florida, drives to his upstate farm, and then threatens people with arrest who dare venture out.

Trump’s New Vaccine Czar Makes $3.4 Million Windfall on Bill Gates-Backed CoronaVirus Vaccine Stock

“The report sent Moderna stock soaring by up to 34% in pre-market trading Monday. It was trading up a more modest 22% by midmorning.The stock spike temporarily added at least $3.4 million to the bottom line of Moncef Slaoui, the just-named vaccine czar who was on the board of Moderna until his appointment. Moderna is backed by millions of dollars invested by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.”

you get what you vote for . They voted him in .

How many dead voted ? Unless President passes E.O to stop Illegal voting , vote only for those listed as voters with ID proof . no mail in voting unless they are out of country (military/diplomats) or in physically disabled or in nursing homes and mentally sound

Look at him. Typical democrook. Suggestion to Geller Report, when writing about democrookery never forget to mention party affiliation, like Pritzker (D). Don’t forget.

The spirit of Al Capone lives on in Chicago, except that it was a lot safer there when he ran the place.

I am glad that Pamela Geller’s website and other alternate media are exposing Pritzker’s ties to a Covid 19 test company. This NO doubt has made Pritzker so unusually hyper supportive of locking down the people and testing testing testing them! No doubt he would make TONS of money!! And he is hardly alone. Just look at BILL GATES. This guy wants virtually BILLIONS of people to be Covid 19 tested and vaccinated!
Is this because Bill Gates is this wonderful guy who wants to help people? Hardly. Gates owns Covid testing and vaccine companies that will make a ton of money if there is all this crazy hyper testing and vaccinating. And I wonder about NJ Governor Murphy. He is another lock down fanatic. He also used to work for Goldman Sachs. So Murphy is a Deep State Banker at heart and most likely this is influencing his decision making in “controlling the virus”

Wow its just amazing wow simple minded U R… Hey Einstein did U ever figure out that maybe if the test ppl they could like quarantine them? Then they could like stop the disease like they did in so Korea… or is that too much logic 4 U?

?????? You are the one who is simple minded. You seem to not like my position that all this locking down and fanatical need to test and vaccinate everybody…. is ridiculous. Well it is. Hey EInstein, you do know that in South Korea they did not go locking down and quarantining everybody like we are in the US….especially in Democrat run states.
And the South Koreans did not test everybody or quarantine the healthy people, just the sick people. But here in the US…..the sick AND the healthy are being locked down. Especially in Democrat run states. This is ridiculous. And the ONLY people who are pushing this fanatical push to lock down and test/vaccinate everybody…..are the people who will profit off of it…or dumbass governors. How can you not see that?

And hundreds of Immunology doctors and doctors in general are saying that this huge push to quarantine the healthy is insane. They are right. Virtually all across the nation and the Western World…..we see the number of people being infected and dying from the virus going down. Anybody with common sense knows that the warmer weather we are experiencing is killing off the virus (as well as all other viruses). Or is that too much logic 4 U?

And IF quarantining is such a great idea for fighting this virus, WHY is it that the states that are seeing a lower rate of virus infections and deaths…..are the states that were the first to lift the quarantine first? Now why is that?

Wow this response proves just how little U know… Here it is July and guess what genius the weather did not kill off Covid 19… 2nd the countries that used mask and did real quarantines, not just lazy repub stay at home orders, actually stopped Covid 19 many times over better than the USA did… Oh well being wrong is just something you take pride in huh?

We had a governor named Rick Perry who pushed for a shot for little girls to get. He had a big share of stock in that company. I can’t remember what the drug was but it is not required for school once the public found out. He was a republican. So crooks do cross the aisle.

Yes, and don’t forget every last Hyatt Hotel got millions in PPP monies and other government loans from the CARES program which had a special exemption for hotels, while smaller businesses were pushed out of the program. Nice to know how much the Prizgers pocketed from CARES and I bet they stand to make another fortune from HEROES. Remember, for the Commiecrats its all about rewarding their “benefactors,” not the people.
