EU drowns in useless vaccine doses: Pfizer now wants payment for vaccines that will never be made
Het is niet alleen Karl Lauterbach die radicaal overdreven heeft: de pathologische koopwoede van de EU bij de gezamenlijke aanschaf van COVID-19 vaccins wreekt zich nu ook. De staten klagen over een enorm overschot aan vaccindoses – maar verdere leveringen van het Pfizer-vaccin zijn contractueel...

It is not only Karl Lauterbach who has radically exaggerated : the EU's pathological buying frenzy in the joint purchase of COVID-19 vaccines is now also avenging itself. The states complain of a huge surplus of vaccine doses — but further deliveries of the Pfizer vaccine are contractually committed. The US pharmaceutical giant has now graciously designed to offer a 40 percent reduction in the number of doses to be delivered. However, it also wants to be paid for goods that will never be produced, reports Report24 .
According to a
report in the Financial Times , Pfizer has offered the EU a contract change to reduce the number of vaccine doses to be delivered by 40% and delay deliveries. This is being sold by the pharmaceutical giant as a concession after the EU states complained about the mass of useless vaccine doses: almost no one is interested in the COVID-19 vaccines anymore, as we know, because they are neither effective nor safe. The so-called pandemic, by the way, is long gone. The result: the expensively purchased vaccine must be destroyed.
The real scandal, however, is that Pfizer — which is losing a lucrative source of revenue due to rapidly declining demand for the experimental COVID-19 gene therapies — doesn't want to tie in on payment: According to the Financial Times, the
company is now pushing for payment for contractually ordered doses that will never be produced. Exact details, as is often the case, are not known because the contract is not made public.
The controversial EU Commissioner for Health Stella Kyriakides thinks the move is fine.
"By working together we have achieved a significant reduction in doses, an extension of our contract well beyond 2023 and security of supply in case more doses are needed," she said .
"If we want to change vaccine deliveries, we need an agreement." She is clearly unaffected by the constant waste of taxpayers' money from EU states (with the Germans being the largest donor).
