A Public Citizen report, by the US consumer rights advocacy group, has alleged that Pfizer has used its position of a leading Covid vaccine producer, to “silence governments, throttle supply, shift risk, and maximize profits” through secret contracts with countries around the world. Pfizer has bullied Latin American countries during contract negotiations. For example, Brazil came to accept a contract that “waived sovereign immunity; imposed no penalties on Pfizer for late deliveries; agreed to resolve disputes under a secret private arbitration under the laws of New York; and broadly indemnified Pfizer for civil claims.” In short, Pfizer secured dream contracts that seem reserved for Big Pharma, specially vaccine producers.
Big Pharma rules the world, at least at a certain level.
