Watch: Romanian MEP Blasts Moderna and AstraZeneca in EU Parliament Over Covid Vaccine

A Romanian member of the European Parliament held Big Pharma executives’ feet to the fire regarding their faulty Covid vaccines during a meeting with the EU’s Covid Commission Monday.

Addressing numerous issues with the EU’s rushed Covid vaccine approval, Romanian MEP Cristian Terhes questioned whether AstraZeneca and Moderna relied on data from the Chinese government when decoding the full DNA sequence of the virus, as well as whether anyone died during phase three clinical trials involving human test subjects.

“Have you tested if the vaccines are stopping the spread of the virus or not?” Terhes pointedly asked.

“Because the data clearly shows that your products are not stopping the spread of this virus,” he added.

The MEP also directed questions specifically to Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel, asking how the company was able to test their vaccines several years before the Covid crisis began, and why the vaccines were forced on EU citizens despite an apparent coordinated lack of transparency.

“You mentioned here that there are some secrets, or some confidential information in these contracts that should protect your interests,” Terhes told Bancel. “Now the question that I addressed to you: what about the interests of us and the interests of the European citizens? Because this is how some of the pages from the contract between Moderna and the European commission is showing. [Holds up a series of documents with large portions redacted from public view.]”

“So I’m asking you, do you think this is fair to all of us to talk about these vaccines, to talk about boosters, to talk about medical products when we don’t know the clauses of these contracts?” Terhes asked.

He also asked the Moderna CEO, “When are you going to fully publish the contracts they had both with the European commission and with the member states of the European Union?”

“Another question, the issue of liabilities,” Terhes continued, additionally touching on the lack of accountability and compensation for reported vaccine side effects. “You were asked by our colleague here about the liabilities and you avoided to answer this question, so my question to you is: why are you pushing the liabilities on the states and on the people who receive these vaccines and might have, and I’m saying ‘might have’ adverse effects, while you get all the profits? Nevertheless the bivalent boosters.”

Terhes also inquired if Bancel thought it was fair to EU citizens “to be vaccinated with some medical products that were not properly tested, or not at all tested in humans?”

Bancel replied that Moderna had indeed relied on data from the Chinese government.

Here’s his response to the question of liability:

“Regarding the liability for adverse effects, as all the manufacturers did, we wanted, the governments wanted the quick approval of a vaccine. And for that reason, for a conditional approval, it was important that we were given some guarantees in terms of damages, because we couldn’t have no guarantees. They wanted the vaccine quickly. They didn’t give manufacturers time to have long-term studies because of the nature of a pandemic.“

AstraZeneca Executive Vice President Iskra Reic also responded that EU states signed on to a liability and indemnity clause in order to speed vaccine approval:

“When it comes to liability for adverse effects I think… I’m sorry to hear that you’re not happy with the answers you’re getting, but I think we’re here to be as transparent as possible.

“The liability and indemnity clause was discussed and agreed with many governments around the world because everyone wanted to see how we could speed up the production and delivery of vaccines.

“And again, as I mentioned earlier, this is considered standard practice in emergency situations, and equally the [practice] that protects and supports everyone to move forward with the greatest speed and to do the best we can in terms of producing and manufacturing [vaccines].

“In addition, liability and compensation are included in a clause that is valid/applicable only for doses contracted during the pandemic.”

Back in February, Terhes also lambasted Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over his authoritarian response to the Freedom Convoy, calling him a “tyrant” and a “dictator.”

He was also an outspoken early advocate against Covid lockdowns.
