Did Pfizer have access to coronavirus before China discovered it? Did Moderna test Covid vaccine in 2017? Russian MEP makes shocking allegations

New Delhi: As we ‘possibly’ near the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, even if in some parts of the world, some shocking allegations have been levelled by a European Member of Parliament with regard to the discovery of the virus and concerning vaccines developed by pharmaceutical majors Pfizer and Moderna.
Romanian MEP Cristian Terhes, who is also a human rights advocate, made some serious allegations during a hearing in a committee of the European Parliament on October 10. A representative of Pfizer was present in the hearing held by the special COVID committee of the European Parliament after Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla refused to testify and answer questions posed by the committee. Bourla was expected to face grilling on how secretive vaccine deals were struck by his company.
Bourla pulled out of the appointment after an audit report into the EU’s vaccine procurement strategy was released earlier this month. The report has expressed doubts over contact between the Pfizer CEO and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen before a multibillion-euro vaccine contract was inked.
Speaking at the EP committee meeting, Terhes said he has been left shocked by recent revelations. “I cannot hide my shock… nobody answered concrete questions which my colleagues asked. We heard allegations as statements from the representative of Pfizer that they cannot release the contract because they have some interests,” the MEP stated. “But what about the interest of the people, what about their health?” he asked further.
However, what is shocking is that Terhes suggested Pfizer possibly knew about the COVID-19 virus before the rest of the world came to know about it.
“Has Pfizer had access to coronavirus before December 2019, when we (came to) knew about it? The whole world found out about the coronavirus in December 2019. On January 11, 2020, the Chinese government published the genetic data of this virus.
“But in the data that you (Pfizer) submitted to European Medicines Agency in order to receive marketing authorisation, you provided data showing you tested your medical product on January 14, 2020. How is it possible that in three days, after the whole world found about the genetic data of this virus, your company already tested the vaccine on mice,” Terhes asked in a question the answer to which could change the whole narrative on the discovery of the virus.
Terhes not just put Pfizer in the dock but also Moderna, the second firm which developed mRNA Covid vaccines.
Speaking at a press conference later with fellow MEPs video of which we are sharing here, Terhes asked what exactly was in the contracts that Pfizer was trying to hide. He went on to claim that as per Pfizer, the company had not tested its vaccine to find out of it was preventing the transmission of the virus.
“I was shocked to find out they haven’t tested their vaccine to find out if these are preventing the transmission of the virus,” Terhes said.
He made a shocking revelation of sorts that the firm Moderna had possibly tested a vaccine for coronavirus in the year 2017!
“In the case of Moderna, I asked the CEO of Moderna 2-3 weeks ago when he was here, they submitted that tests started in 2017. How is it possible they submitted tests of their vaccines years before we found out about the virus? Unfortunately, they are declining to answer,” he said.
