It is not without precedent in the left-wing, globalist leadership of the European Union that the behavior of covering up suspected cases of corruption, which we also experienced in the case of the Qatar-gate that erupted at the European Parliament, is not without precedent. If it weren't for the Belgian police, they would still be happily going about their business today. But to take a further look, the scandal surrounding the inexplicable texting of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla has been raging for almost two years, without any consequences, of course. It seems that the liberal American newspaper New York Times has just had enough of covering up the Pfizer case. About 35 billion euros are involved in the suspected bribery case.
POLITICO spotted it, Mandiner picked up the news that the American paper took the secretive Commission to the European Court of Justice . In the lawsuit launched on January 25, the newspaper argues that the Commission has a legal obligation to release the text messages containing the details of the central EU procurement of Pfizer vaccines against the coronavirus.
POLITICO reminds us that in January of last year, the investigation by the European Commissioner for Fundamental Rights, Emily O'Reilly, also revealed irregularities in the handling of text messages, as the Commission - while claiming that it was trying to find the "lost" text messages - was the office of the Commission President. he didn't call you to find them.

When Vera Jourova was asked following O'Reilly's objections, the "transparency" commissioner replied that the text messages had already been deleted because they were "ephemeral".
In March 2021, Ursula von der Leyen negotiated with the boss of Pfizer about the purchase of a large amount of coronavirus vaccine. It is important to mention: this was not the original contract, as it was signed the previous year, and from December 2020, they were also vaccinated with the serum. At that time, in the spring of 2021, there was already a sufficient amount of vaccine in Europe
Origo recalled . However, Ursula von der Leyen practically agreed with Bourla via text messages on the purchase of at least 900 million and up to 1.8 billion doses of vaccine for 35 billion euros, roughly 19 euros per dose.
This is an unrealistically high number, since the total population of the EU is less than 450 million, that is, four optional vaccines were available for each resident, as there were also agreements with other manufacturers, and at that time, children under the age of 18 were not even vaccinated.
