54. The Pandemic Profiteers: The Businesses That Made a Packet out of COVID
The pandemic has caused misery, turmoil and death for so many - but as this documentary exposes, for much of the rich elite, this is boomtime. From Amazon to private contractors, profit margins have exploded. In the first 9 months of the crisis, billionaires' fortunes jumped by nearly $4 trillion. While the high street is in a tailspin of decline, Amazon saw their profits triple in one quarter; and £37 billion of public money has been wasted on Test and Trace, which was found to have a minimal impact on the pandemic, but which shovelled vast amounts into the bank accounts of private consultants.
This is the story of how COVID-19 became a money spinner: as told by the people who know.
