Unredacted copies of Pfizer’s purchasing agreements with a range of countries show that the pharmaceutical giant is bullying the governments of developing countries, making them waive sovereign immunity, preventing them from penalising Pfizer over late shipments and allowing the company to restrict vaccine donations – all this according to a new report by the non-profit organisation Public Citizen. MailOnline has the story.
The bombshell report, published by Public Citizen on Tuesday, alleges the New York City-based company worked to silence governments, restricted nations’ access to vaccine donations, forced governments to pay out lawsuits they may face for breaking intellectual property laws (IP), and to seize public assets in case of missed payments such as foreign bank accounts.
Countries including Albania, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, the Dominican Republic and Peru were subject to these terms in order to acquire the vaccine.
Public Citizen reports that high income countries, such as the U.S., have assisted Pfizer in these bullying tactics by staunchly protecting their IP and allowing the company to form a ‘monopoly’.
Public Citizen obtained nine unredacted copies of Pfizer purchasing agreement with eight countries and the European Union.
The documents revealed previously unknown clauses within contracts that could potentially damage developing nations.
One provision in the contract with Brazil, for example, made the South American country waive sovereign immunity – which protects the nation from lawsuits – in order to access the vaccines, according to Public Citizen.
The contract also prevents Pfizer from being penalized for late shipments.
Little information about these contracts is allowed to be made public, though.
Countries, including the U.S., are not allowed to make any public announcement regarding the details of the contract and any potential dispute must be resolved by private arbitration.
Pfizer is also allowed to control and restrict vaccine donations as part of the contract, Public Citizen reveals.
Nations that sign purchasing agreements with Pfizer could be prevented from receiving donations from other nations, with the company instead wanting doses to be purchased directly from them.
If Brazil, for example, were to receive a donation of Covid vaccine doses from another nation, Pfizer would terminate the contract and the nation would have to pay out the remainder of the contract without receiving any of the remaining doses.
Worth reading in full.

A cross between a loan shark and protection racket?
I’m shocked
Heil Pfizer!

Over in Belgium COVIDIAN cult deniers decided it was time to pay the HQ at Puurs a visit, on mass.
Pfizer’s UK commercial headquarters are located in Walton Oaks in Surrey, perhaps if it becomes mandatory for 5-11 year old kids in Britain to be jib-jabbed a visit there too will be necessary?
Oh dear. Pharma is the new tobacco industry. Who’d have thought it?
These contract terms are much worse than the tobacco industry had…
Plagiarism! Ehden Biber originally exposed this and should be credited.
Fun Fact: In the 19th chapter of Revelation (last few verses), “Babylon” is thrown down for being the richest city causing all the nations to go mad, and also for its druggery. “For your merchants were the greatest men of the earth; for by your druggery all the nations were misled.” The word “druggery” is often translated “spiritistic practices” but the Greek word (pharmakia) literally means druggery. Here endeth the Fun Fact.
Babylon – in the Rastafarian sense – is the word my family and I use as a catch-all term for everything that’s been going on these last 18 months. How apt! Thanks for fun fact.
Let’s hope that, when this farce is over and done with, the Hanging Gardens bit takes on a new meaning.
I have been asked about this several times but it is necessary to point out that although the word φαρμακεία does indeed refer to ‘magical practices’ and ‘sorcery’ and is thus used in the New Testament, it also has the meaning of ‘medicine’ or ‘drug’ and is used in both senses in Homer.
To infer or attempt to infer that ‘pharmacy’ is the same as ‘sorcery’ is to conflate two different senses of the word. Compare Odyssey δ 230 and Iliad Δ 191, Λ 741 with Odyssey κ 392, Iliad Χ 94.
Ι know (but it is late and I do not at present have the energy) that the word is similarly used in BOTH senses in the Patristic literature.
You said, “it also has the meaning of ‘medicine’ or ‘drug’ and is used in both senses in Homer.”
So the verse could also be translated, “by your drugs all the nations were misled”?
Obviously context is king, and the context also depends on whether we view the passage as John’s commentary on ancient Rome, or a prophetic vision of the future (or the rapidly approaching here-and-now). Sceptical scholars would probably argue for the former, I’m hinting it might be the latter, or both.
Anyway, I personally think words like this used in John’s book are meant to have multiple meanings, much like poetry. The drawback of the translating process is that it forces the translator to pick a word, and thus lose some of the poetic nature of the words.
Oh look, another conspiracy theory has made it into the mainstream.
How long before the Mail is talking about planned depopulation by vaccine?
Even the DM isn’t that stupid.
If depopulation by vaccine is the fascists’ aim, their plan must envisage a millennium of steady work, aided by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and even then they wouldn’t stem the tide of human reproduction, or even cause a ripple. They should have gone for the Black Death instead – not that that would work either. It didn’t last time, in a world bereft of any kind of operative medicine. It merely caused a temporary blip.
I wish I shared your optimism.
Transparency anyone?
Pfizer is immunized against lawsuits, but what about all these companies and universities and sports conferences that are forcing people under their charge to get vaccinated against their will?
For example, colleges and sports leagues KNOW that vaccination among young males increases the risk of developing myocarditis. Still, these colleges and athletic teams and conferences and pro teams are either mandating vaccination or coercing people to get vaccinated.
What happens if and when these cases start emerging (as they will and perhaps already have)?
Here I am pulling for the meanest toughest trial lawyers to show what they can do.
Well, there’s another reason for refusing the Pfizer booster.
Well, if they are dumb enough to buy the stuff after seeing how useless it is and how much damage it causes..
Public Citizen actually were not the ones to break this news. It’s been well known among the censored since earlier in the year. All the contracts were leaked by this guy. He did full dissection of them. I wonder why now this is hitting the msm? How the sceptic mind works eh

This is worse even than Faustus’ deal with the devil. At least he got a long life before he guys arrived with pitchforks – not six months.
Fauci 81 still in office after 50 years,
Very interesting. This is not news to those who are awake but it is the first time in a year that the sainted Pfizer have been criticised in the mainstream press.
Perhaps something bigger is about to break
Pfizer really are the evil unacceptable face of capitalism. Dante wrote about 9 circles of hell, Pfizer have found a 10th.
But Pfizer aren’t responsible for the creation of this mess. Let me introduce the China-bought WHO and any of the hapless governments that have chosen to listen to its ‘advice’.
Noteworthy too that the CEO sold his stock just before their product got emergency authorised according to my memory…
In which case, he’d have missed out on the share price going up…
but he did pocket a cool 21mil last year
Forget domestic legal immunity. This is a crime against humanity for which immunity cannot be granted. The entire Pfizer board should be put on a one way trip to the Hague, for a fair trial and a swift conviction.
I want tickets for that!
‘One of the safest and most effective Covid vaccines’.
Apart from that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?
“Blew me away.” Sorry, couldn’t resist

“This highly effective bait-and-switch began last March with a webpage, to which the FDA tweet linked, that conflates the two ivermectins. On one hand, the FDA tells of receiving “multiple reports of patients who have required medical attention” after taking the animal product. On the other, it describes the fate awaiting people who take large amounts of any ivermectin, ending a long list with “dizziness, ataxia, seizures, coma and even death.” The medical literature, nonetheless, shows ivermectin to be an extremely safe medicine.
So how big was the surge that FDA described as “multiple”? Four, an agency spokesperson said just after the page went up”
Pfizer & Moderna to generate over $90 BILLION in vaccine sales next year (Financial Times)
Pfizer is expected to move $54.5 billion worth of Covid vaccines and Moderna $38.7 billion, according to Airfinity data seen by the FT.
The Covid market is forecast to double in value to $124 billion in 2022.
According to the Washington Post, 3.5 billion doses of the Pfizer vaccine have been purchased already, with most of the finer details unfolding in secrecy with the pharma giant turning the screw on govts to boost profits.
Talk about a cash injection.

for a product that doesnt do what it purports to. Someone bring in Trading standards.
Typical bullying tactics. Surely unethical?
They’ve been empowered by the USA, UK and every other western Government which enthusiastically joined in the Scamdemic ….. and pushed experimental jabs.
Pfizer are leeches; they are doing what leeches do …… suck blood.
I’m unsure how shocking this is supposed to be.
Much of it looks like what any sensible business would do to protect itself during an induced worldwide panic.
Given that we’re now confident that the vaccines ‘help’ in a limited way, while ensuring that the vaccinated are subjected to an endless round of booster shots after their immune systems are gradually shut down, which bits of this news are actually a ‘bad’ thing for those involved?
Most of these governments could access much cheaper anit-Wuflu drugs tomorrow and tell Pfizer to stick the vaxes somewhere warm and dark. That they won’t is surely of more concern to the poor humans involved in this pharmaPonzi scheme.
Paracetamol helps in a limited way, Vitamin D helps in a limited way. I haven’t noticed that billions have been made and contracts that are basically extortion entered into, Whoever the idiots are who were negotiating the contracts with the Pharma companies they basically couldnt do a worse job. Imagine
Government negotiator to car manufacturer.
Yes we would like you to make a driverless car, we need it quickly so don’t worry about safety testing, we will pay you to develop it, and we will hold you free of liability if it kills people, oh and here is a big fat check for billions as we want millions of the things regardless of their ability to actually move anywhere. Is that a deal?
I rest my case
Complete immunity for a product that does not do what it says on the tin but which has to date killed and injured more people than all vaccines combined in the past 15 years.
Laughing all the way to the Bank
The Biggest criminal & Fraud fine in Pharma History was paid by Pfizer of $2.3 BILLION.
