Pfizer Freezes Air Traffic Control Funds in Poland and Romania Over COVID Vaccine Contract Dispute

Pfizer has frozen funds owed to air traffic control agencies in Poland and Romania as part of a contract dispute over COVID-19 vaccine deliveries, according to a report published July 31 by Children’s Health Defense [1]. The freeze followed an April 1 ruling by a court in Brussels that ordered Poland to pay about $1.5 billion and Romania about $640 million, plus interest and fees, for vaccine doses ordered under a 2021 European Union contract.

Polish and Romanian authorities stopped accepting further deliveries in 2022, citing falling demand. Both governments have said they will appeal the ruling. The enforcement action has raised questions about the financial stability of the two countries’ air navigation agencies, which rely on the funds.

Contract Origins and Refused Deliveries

The contract was signed between the European Commission and Pfizer in 2021, and it obligated participating member states to purchase additional doses. By 2022, Poland and Romania refused scheduled deliveries as demand declined. Poland cited financial pressure from hosting refugees fleeing Ukraine. Romanian political scientist Dragos Moldoveanu said Romania ordered 120 million doses despite a population below 20 million and had one of the European Union’s lowest vaccination rates.

Pfizer filed suit in 2023 after the countries did not pay for doses they declined to accept. Earlier contract terms had already drawn criticism. The Bureau of Investigative Journalism reported in February 2021 that Pfizer was demanding countries put up sovereign assets as collateral for expected vaccine injury lawsuits [2].

Legal Enforcement and Appeals

Because the contract is governed by Belgian law, the case is being heard in Brussels. Polish public broadcaster TVP World reported that Poland asked the Belgian court to delay enforcement while it appeals, but the request was rejected.

Dutch attorney Meike Terhorst called the action “outrageous and unethical” and said it could endanger flights. Lukasz Wojdyga of the Warsaw Enterprise Institute said the creditor has a legal right to enforce the judgment but called targeting air-safety funding “disproportionate and irresponsible.” Both governments have said they will protect the financial stability of the agencies and keep services running.

Transparency and Contract Scrutiny

The dispute has revived scrutiny of the EU vaccine procurement. Brussels Signal reported the EU-Pfizer contract was worth 35 billion euros ($40 billion), one of the largest contract awards in EU history. Governments and Pfizer have declined to release contract terms, saying the information is commercially confidential [3].

The European Court of Justice ruled in 2024 that the European Commission violated EU law when it denied The New York Times’ request to review text messages between Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla [4]. In 2025, a court ordered the disclosure of concealed texts related to the deal [5]. European Parliament member Gheorghe Piperea said the contract “ought never to have existed” because the EU exceeded its treaty powers. Transparency activist Frederic Baldan said von der Leyen negotiated directly with Bourla through self-destructing Signal messages, and that a Belgian Federal Police anti-corruption report found sufficient elements to establish offenses. Baldan said the European Public Prosecutor’s Office moved to have the investigation annulled.

The scale of the purchases also drew criticism from public health writers. Michel Chossudovsky questioned how a vaccine that normally takes years to develop was launched within months [6]. Joseph Mercola and Ronnie Cummins noted that the trials’ only criterion of success was a reduction of moderate to severe symptoms, not prevention of infection [7].

‘We Won Completely’: Weinstein Says COVID ‘Conspiracy Theorists’ Were Totally Vindicated

Not so long ago, everything below was a bannable offense – usually based on the vapid logic of some 24-year-old “trust & safety” associate. In a clip circulating Thursday, evolutionary biologist Bret Weinstein takes stock of what the dissidents actually won for their trouble, Vigilant Fox reports.

WEINSTEIN: “We live in two worlds simultaneously at the moment. I remember conversations that I had with people I cared deeply about at the beginning of COVID right as the lab leak story was beginning to crack.”

“What I saw was, actually, I think we’re going to win the lab leak story. We’re not yet winning the vaccine story, and we’re way behind on the repurposed drug story.

“In 2026, here’s what we see. We actually won. Completely. All of these things are now visible to anybody who wishes to see them.

Yet, while hearts and minds were won and ‘conspiracy theorists’ vindicated, we have a limp dicked government that won’t hold anyone’s feet to the fire. 

“And we’ve lost completely. Our capacity to do anything about this is now on full display. We have none.”

“Your ability to simply get the story clear enough and enough evidence on the table does not have an impact on what happens next.

“We’re still apparently dispensing these frickin shots. How crazy is that? Right after all that we have unearthed, after all the people who lost their careers to unearth this stuff, they’re still dispensing the frickin shots.”

WEINSTEIN: “We need to figure out now how to talk to the people who actually have goodness in their hearts, but are still so desperately confused.

“You have to figure out how to approach them with enough generosity of spirit that you can get them over the line to just seeing. You can get them to take off the blindfold.”

Data from a large autism clinic shows 40% of sudden regression autism happened within 2 days after vaccination

Even though this is a crisis, we do not really want to know the true cause of autism.

Why? Because if we used a time proximity analysis, it would reveal that the parental decision to follow their pediatrician’s advice and vaccinate their kids is the cause.

Congress will not investigate because they will lean on large studies which use methods designed specifically not to find a signal to claim vaccines don’t cause autism. But those studies only prove that bad studies can fail to find a signal if they use the wrong methods.

The most sensitive method is simply to make a histogram of the time between a child’s most recent vaccine and the onset of rapid regressive autism. The methodology was described in my earlier Substack article.

You can do this in any autism practice anywhere in the world retrospectively. It is simple. NOBODY HAS DONE THIS. I wonder why?

It took a long time, but I finally located a large autism treatment clinic who was willing to share the statistical information that they had gathered from the parents of autistic kids in the clinic that I wrote about in an earlier Substack article.

This is new. This has never been revealed to the world before. Nobody would dare do that.

The clinic examined 182 patient records.

84 were “rapid onset autism” cases (46%).

Of those cases, a “routine vaccination” was mentioned as happening before the event in 98% of those cases.

In 40% of the cases, the regression happened within 2 days after routine vaccination.

In 76% of the cases, the regression happened within 2 weeks after routine vaccination.

These numbers cannot happen by chance.

The only explanation is vaccines cause autism. Adding acetaminophen post-vaccine makes the autism outcome more likely.

However, if you believe otherwise, please explain in the comments what you think is causing these cases.

I predict there will be no follow ups on this from any country in the world because they don’t want to know the truth that they are causing the autism epidemic.

This data is stunning. I’m arranging funding of a larger version of this study and hopefully, we can get it on a preprint server. It will likely never be published in any mainstream journal.

Clinical Trial Results Were Clear: Pfizer’s COVID Vaccine Delivered More Risk Than Benefit

U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s recent decision to terminate the COVID-19 emergency use authorization (EUA) declarations invites reconsideration of the evidence that launched this extraordinary regulatory chapter.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) first EUA for a COVID-19 vaccine rested on its determination that the known and potential benefits of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine outweighed its known and potential risks. Yet the pivotal trial report did not bring those benefits and risks together within a common quantitative framework.

Better late than never: more than five years later, I did — and what I found was startling.

At first glance, the famous 95% efficacy against protocol-defined, laboratory-confirmed symptomatic COVID-19 — based on eight versus 162 cases in a trial that randomized 43,548 participants — seems highly promising.

But when this finding is considered alongside the broader set of participant-relevant outcomes (dispersed across the trial publication, its Supplementary Appendix, and the contemporaneous FDA review materials), the overall clinical picture looks markedly different.

Depending on the counting period used, the vaccine group had 2-8 fewer cases of severe COVID-19, whereas the safety data showed numerical excesses of 4-101 participants across clinically consequential adverse-event categories. These categories are not directly comparable, and some may overlap.

Even so, the evidence did not establish that the vaccine’s clinically consequential benefits outweighed its potential harms. Nor did the trial establish that vaccination reduced the overall burden of COVID-19-like symptoms, let alone that it reduced person-to-person transmission.

Crucially, this conclusion does not rest on hindsight: the relevant evidence was already before the FDA when it issued the EUA.

The full basis for this conclusion is presented in my comprehensive reassessment of the evidence, currently available as a preprint. That reassessment is necessarily detailed because the relevant data are complex, scattered across multiple documents and subject to important methodological and interpretive qualifications.

The present column is not intended to replace that analysis, but to distill several of its central findings and implications for a broader readership.

Sen. Ron Johnson Unloads Devastating Safety Data on Fauci — Says COVID Shot Logged Nearly 7,000 Death Reports Per Year While FDA Ignored Warning Signs and Pushed Remdesivir

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) dropped another bombshell during Wednesday’s explosive Senate hearing with Dr. Anthony Fauci, confronting the former COVID czar with adverse event data that he argued should have triggered urgent scrutiny years ago—but instead was ignored while federal health agencies relentlessly promoted COVID vaccines and Remdesivir.

Johnson’s latest exchange came after he previously confronted Fauci with stacks of studies on ivermectin and questioned why federal officials dismissed evidence supporting alternative treatments before Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination during the hearing.

The Wisconsin senator displayed comparative adverse-event figures during the hearing, arguing they represented safety signals that federal regulators refused to adequately investigate.

“These are averages. Again, it doesn’t prove causation, but there’s correlation. It’s there. It’s there for a safety signal,” Johnson said.

The chart, titled “Drug Adverse Event Comparison” and labeled “FDA and CDC Data: Worldwide,” compared adverse event reports, total reported deaths, and average deaths per year across multiple products.

According to the chart presented by Johnson:

  • Ivermectin (30 years, 1996–2026): 5,127 adverse events, 518 deaths, averaging 17 deaths per year.
  • Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) (38 years, 1988–2026): 37,270 adverse events, 5,404 deaths, averaging 142 deaths per year.
  • Flu vaccines (36 years, 1990–2026): 243,335 adverse events, 2,770 deaths, averaging 77 deaths per year.
  • Dexamethasone (57 years, 1969–2026): 143,017 adverse events, 25,589 deaths, averaging 448 deaths per year.
  • Tylenol (57 years, 1969–2026): 184,186 adverse events, 42,627 deaths, averaging 747 deaths per year.
  • Remdesivir (69 months): 10,657 adverse events, 2,751 deaths, averaging 546 deaths per year.
  • COVID-19 vaccines (68 months): 1,677,227 adverse events, 39,182 deaths, averaging 6,922 deaths per year.

The chart also highlighted that 9,342 reported deaths occurred on days 0, 1, or 2 following COVID-19 vaccination.

HHS So Confident an Influenza Pandemic Will Be Declared It’s Developing ‘Day One’ Vaccines, SAM.gov RFI Reveals

In a June Request for Information (RFI) titled “Protection Before Day One Vaccine: Advancing Broadly Protective Seasonal Influenza Vaccines with Pandemic Coverage,” the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is asking the biotechnology industry to develop influenza vaccines before the next pandemic begins, reflecting a level of planning that treats another influenza pandemic as a matter of when, not if.

HHS is therefore confident that there will be a future determination by authorities that an influenza pandemic has begun.

The proposal follows a series of federal future influenza pandemic-orchestrating initiatives, including Congress seeking $3.3 billion for a future influenza pandemic, HHS funding experiments determining how to make H5 influenza more pathogenic, HHS funding the creation of never-before-seen chimeric H6Nx bird flu viruses said to carry immune-evasion traits, and DARPA/NIH-funded scientists reprogramming dormant influenza parts with new replication and competition-suppressing functions.

It also comes after U.S. taxpayers funded the research behind Moderna’s new mRNA-1010 influenza vaccine and an FDA—which is under HHS—advisory committee backed the shot despite providing less than a 1% absolute benefit.

The initiatives raise a fundamental national security question: Why is the government simultaneously investing in making influenza viruses more dangerous while preparing “Day One” vaccines for the influenza pandemic it appears to expect?

You can contact HHS here to ask why the agency is planning for another influenza pandemic while simultaneously funding research that seeks to increase the capabilities of influenza viruses (see list of many such projects at the end of this article).

The RFI lists Wendy Rehman (wendy.rehman@ati.org) as the “Primary Point of Contact” for the Protection Before Day One Vaccine project.

RFK Jr. Reveals the COVID Vaccine Secret That Fauci Hid From Americans

For years, Dr. Anthony Fauci assured Americans that the COVID-19 vaccines were safe and effective. What he never mentioned, according to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is that he may have suffered one of those “rare” adverse events himself, and he hid it from the country while publicly insisting such injuries weren’t happening.

Kennedy appeared on Fox News’s The Ingraham Angle to discuss the newly released diary entries that Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) made public, entries that document Fauci’s day-to-day life during the pandemic, on top of his disturbing obsession with himself and the power he wielded during the pandemic. When Laura Ingraham asked whether there would be any accountability for the trillions of dollars lost, the ruined education of America’s children, and the shattered reputation of the public health establishment, Kennedy didn’t hesitate.

“Yeah, and millions of people injured,” Kennedy said. “So he lied about masks, he lied about social distancing, he lied about the transmission, he lied about natural immunity, he lied about the capacity, as you just said, of the vaccine to prevent infection.”

Then came the bombshell.

“He got vaccinated at a very, very public press conference in January of 2021,” Kennedy said, noting that five months later, the diary reveals, Fauci “had a pulmonary infarction, which is one of the adverse events that NIH, CDC and FDA said are expected from the vaccine.”

“He never told anybody,” Kennedy said. “He got treated for it privately by the best doctors in America at the same time, he was telling everybody that was not an adverse event.”

Think about that for a second. The man who badgered every American into taking the shot, insisting it was perfectly safe, appears to have experienced one of the exact injuries his own agencies flagged, then quietly got elite private care while assuring the public that such reactions weren’t real. Ordinary Americans who reported similar problems got dismissed and mocked. Fauci got the best doctors in America.

Czech data shows that those who got the Moderna vaccine died more

For the first time, I show the directly standardized survival curves for each 5 year age group in the Czech Republic using the publicly released record-level data.

This data consistently shows the people who got the Moderna vaccine were much more likely to die than those of the same age who got the Pfizer shot. The relative risk (RR) was >1.5 for those under age 60 which is a huge difference.

The comorbidity distribution for both groups of a given age range was very similar (SMD=.05)

This isn’t because Pfizer is more protective of a COVID death because the differences were not specific to COVID periods (and were too large to be explained by effectiveness differences).

There are two remaining explanations:

  1. The Moderna vaccine was more deadly
  2. There was a systematic distribution of vaccines in Czech Republic that no matter what age you were, if you were more likely to die, you were given the Moderna shots.

Explanation is 2 is much less likely because there was no systematic bias in vaccine distribution by brand, and even if there were, the fact that the DCCI distributions were similar and that the younger you were, the more pronounced the effect, would be unusual since 45 year old people are not concentrated in elderly homes and hospital beds.

So the most likely explanation is Moderna was more deadly.

Top NIH Official Wanted to Shut Down Research Into COVID-19 Vaccine Injuries: Emails

Top officials with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) expressed misgivings about researchers with the agency studying people with neurological issues after they received COVID-19 vaccines, according to newly released emails.

Dr. Avindra Nath, a senior investigator with the NIH’s National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, was studying people with post-vaccination neurological problems in 2020 and 2021.

In an email on April 10, 2021, he sent a draft of a paper to the institute’s director, Dr. Walter Koroshetz, that outlined what he had found.

“Early recognition and treatment with corticosteroids can reverse the symptoms,” Nath wrote.

The following day, the institute’s director sent the manuscript to Dr. Anthony Fauci, who at the time was director of another NIH institute.

“There have been steady slow stream of reports to me of post vaccination neurologic conditions, seem to be mostly peripheral nerve disorders … maybe an occasional spinal cord issue,” Koroshetz told Fauci. “Avi has been collecting a bunch. He has a report sent out to publish. Hard to know not due to chance but are timed to the vaccination.”

Another NIH employee sent the manuscript to then-NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins and Dr. Lawrence Tabak, a second top NIH official, and shared that the New England Journal of Medicine rejected the paper.

“What do you make of this?” Collins wrote in response. “The draft letter doesn’t explain how these 32 patients were referred—leaving one to wonder whether this is common or rare.”

Koroshetz told Collins that many reports had been lodged with the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System and that Nath had been attracting referrals because he had appeared on a podcast to discuss neurological problems following COVID-19 vaccination.

Koroshetz also said that Nath, and another employee at his institute, had suffered tinnitus after receiving COVID-19 vaccines, and that Nath had hearing loss.

Collins said the approach taken by Nath’s team was “very troubling,” adding, “collecting anecdotes and then trying to build a case isn’t scientifically compelling—and will have the main consequence of feeding vaccine hesitancy and social media overreaction.”

‘Three-Way Collision’: How Genes, Mold and Vaccines Might Lead to Autism

Take a genetically susceptible child, expose that child to mold, and then add an immune trigger — like a vaccine — that “tips an already-strained system over the edge,” and you may create a “three-way collision” that can lead to autism, according to Dr. Christian Bogner.

Bogner, a physician and researcher, and other experts told The Defender that environmental triggers have become more prevalent in recent decades, with the expansion of the childhood immunization schedule and the widespread use of toxic pesticides, including glyphosate, to produce food.

Many blame toxic exposures for the drastic increase in autism diagnoses among U.S. children, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention measured at 1 in 31 children in 2022 — up from 1 in 10,000 in the 1970s.

Physician and author Dr. Neil Nathan believes there is “clearly a relationship” between one of those toxic exposures — mold toxicity — and autism, though studies attempting to identify a link have so far been few and inconclusive.

“It’s hard enough to get any studies done on toxic mold that get into the mainstream narrative — to say nothing of the vaccine issue,” said Dr. Margaret Christensen, a trained gynecologist, clinical educator and co-founder of the Carpathia Collaborative.

According to Christensen, exposure to toxic mold “affects everybody … as it is such a common environmental toxin.” She noted that at least half of homes and 60% of commercial buildings “have had sufficient water damage to have a toxic mold issue as a component to common environmental exposures, creating illnesses.”

Bogner said that each child has different levels of susceptibility when exposed to toxins. Even within the same household, two children exposed to the same toxins may have different outcomes — one may become very ill or develop autism while the other may remain healthy.

But there’s at least one common denominator among the sick children he’s treated: an imbalance in the gut.

“Triggers vary — some children were pushed by vaccines, some by mold, some by antibiotics, some by none of those — but every autistic child I have evaluated has dysbiosis,” Bogner said. These children “carry specific bacterial overgrowths” that lead to toxicity in the gut and the potential onset of neurological disorders.
