Few people present remember that between 2001 and 2003 there was specified a Minister of wellness Mariusz Łapinski. less people remember the premature departure, and no 1 remembers the real causes of his departure. Many were cited, but the primary was the fact that he was exposed to all-powerful pharmaceutical companies. He decided to look for savings on drugs, but not like all his predecessors and successors, that is, regulating access to them by patients. He purposefully thought that he would negociate prices with pharmaceutical companies as equal. He started asking uncomfortable questions, like why any drugs are more costly for Poland than for rich Germany. It was his irresponsible behaviour that made him public enemy number 1 overnight. Although he was reasonably honest for a politician, he began to look for scandals in all action, he was reported to have dragged girls behind braids at school.
History has been forgotten and has so not served as a informing to the current Minister of Health. Firstly, Poland became highly suspicious due to a disrespectful approach to the issue of vaccination against COVID-1984. In addition to respective professional groups, they remained optional. This prejudged the simplification of vaccine request and thus the profits of the companies. any of the already purchased doses managed to resell Australia, but no 1 else wants to.
Now Minister Adam Niedzielski has crossed all boundaries. I don't know if it's been reported by national media, due to the fact that I don't usage much. According to the German paper Die Welt:
Health Minister Adam Niedzielski wrote on Tuesday to "shareholders Pfizer Inc". The letter, which is available to WELT, says that the planned transportation of hundreds of millions of doses by Pfizer despite the "stable epidemic situation" is "totally pointless". There is no longer anyone to donate, there is no government “interested” in vaccinations on Covid,” says the minister, who besides praised Pfizer for the improvement of vaccines on Covid, but wrote that the resulting economical profit must have "its limits".
Sunday besides breaks the erstwhile agreement on the confidentiality of talks between governments, pharmaceutical companies and intermediaries The EU Commission, which itself was liable for a large proportion of purchases and for which it may inactive be liable in connection with ongoing investigations conducted by the EPPO.
Anyway, Sunday reveals what Pfizer offers countries: reduce the full quantity while paying half of the price for each dose that has not been scheduled and will never be produced without costing Pfizer a penny.
Niedzielski writes that he is “absolutely” sorry to say that the company does not want to “show a satisfactory level of flexibility and make realistic proposals”. There is simply a constant readiness for dialogue, but no humanitarian approach. The Minister of wellness called on Pfizer "to fulfil its responsibilities towards EU citizens and associate States and to work in good religion to resolve a fair solution for all". Poland wants to proceed to believe that the pharmaceutical manufacture is not just money.
While the German national government retains discretion over the negotiations, Warsaw – like any another east European governments – did not hide the fact that, despite existing agreements, Warsaw does not, under any circumstances, want to pay for the vaccination on Covid. In addition to the changed epidemic situation, Poland is the origin of Russian aggression in Ukraine and the resulting wave of refugees, which is simply a dense burden on the country's finances.
In an open letter Bulgaria, Poland, Lithuania and Hungary already wrote in mid-March: "We do not agree on supplies that go beyond the needs of associate States and that associate States do not want".
The message that Pfizer accepted with a shrug of arms – and thus increased anger in the Polish government.
I believe that Minister Niedzielski has signed his conviction and will not be able to give us any time. Of course, there are zillion reasons to take him down. All “free” (read American) media like TVN will delight in throwing themselves at him and peck. due to the fact that the minister is PiS, the opposition will not spare him. Not even for a second will a wise man think that he, like Lapinski, defended our business. Especially since a smokescreen created for the company's giant money will present a full lot of evidence of its many wines justifying attacks.
I remind you again. If we want to have a shadow of knowing what is happening around us, we should learn to separate the actions of different people and their effects from the opinions that prevail on them.
If Minister Niedzielski were as curious in money and his own career as he is credited with it, he could make millions safely by working hand in hand with Pfizer as he does without a shadow of embarrassment the president of the European Commission Ursula von den Leyen, who gave us these unnecessary millions of doses. And what will they do to her?
RMF24.pl : The head of the EC and head of Pfizer are suspected of conducting direct negotiations for an extension of the EUR 1.8 billion contract for additional vaccines for the countries of the European Union.
