Session Profile: Anti Poolamets

The political focus is heavily directed towards the protection of public health and national security. The speaker forcefully opposes amendments to the European Union drug regulation that would permit the release of unresearched medicines onto the market during an emergency, labeling this as life-threatening. Furthermore, concern is voiced regarding the rapid growth of the Islamic community and the massive influx of students from Arab countries, which poses a threat to the Estonian language and security. These positions are strongly value-based, centering on the defense of constitutional rights and the health of the nation.

The speaker demonstrates deep expertise in the field of medical and pharmaceutical regulations, referencing the European medicinal products regulation and scientific requirements. Particular emphasis is placed on the criminal track record of pharmaceutical companies (Pfizer), highlighting specific fines imposed for fraudulent marketing and previous incidents (e.g., the Pandemrix vaccine and narcolepsy). References are also made to Article 18 of the Constitution of the Republic of Estonia.

The rhetorical style is highly passionate, accusatory, and deeply concerned, employing powerful emotional appeals to underscore the threat to public health. The speaker uses direct accusations ("fraud," "criminal company," "life-threatening") and supports their claims with both historical examples and personal anecdotes (a school nurse, a pharmacist). The style is confrontational and aims to instill vigilance in the listeners.

The speaker is active in plenary sessions, raising questions and stating positions during debates on key draft legislation. Participation in the discussions of the Committee on European Union Affairs regarding the European Medicines Regulation is also mentioned.

The primary opponents are pharmaceutical companies (Pfizer), who stand accused of fraud and criminal activity, and the European Union, for pushing dangerous regulations. Criticism is also aimed at Estonian politicians and the media, who promoted false claims about vaccines and actively suppressed information regarding side effects. Irja Lutsar is also directly criticized for her lack of professional expertise and her prior cooperation with Pfizer.

Cooperation is demonstrated with like-minded colleagues, notably by highlighting the formation of Dr. Everaus's support group in the Riigikogu concerning vaccine side effects. Overall, however, the style remains confrontational and uncompromising toward institutions and pharmaceutical companies.

The focus is divided between national topics (the protection of the Estonian language, KAPO security concerns) and international issues (EU regulations, Pfizer’s operations in the US, the Pandemrix case in Sweden and Finland). Local or regional topics are absent.

The economic views presented are highly critical of large corporations (pharmaceutical companies), which are accused of prioritizing profits (billions) over human health and safety. It is argued that pharmaceutical companies are willing to lie in order to achieve massive profits.

Among social issues, concern about national security and the preservation of the Estonian language dominates, driven by the increasing size of the Islamic community and the number of Arab students. In the health sector, there is a strong emphasis on civil liberties, with claims that mandatory vaccination constituted a violation of the constitution (Article 18) and illegal drug experimentation.

The legislative focus is aimed at opposing amendments to the European medicinal product regulation that would permit the emergency release of medicines onto the market without prior testing or studies. Furthermore, the necessity of addressing vaccine side effects is being raised, citing the support group that was active in the Riigikogu.
