The purchase and distribution of Big Pharma’ vaccines in 2020-2021 was probably the deal of the century. A business of epic proportions that is still far from being disclosed, but which is, since September 2022, under investigation by the European Public Prosecutor’s Office and which should bring to light the dark side of those cynical individuals who make money out of suffering and illness.
Closer to the present day, on 23 November, a bombshell was detonated by Romania’s National Anti-Corruption Directorate (DNA) – a former Romanian prime minister and two former health ministers will be prosecuted for abuse and complicity with serious consequences.

According to the DNA’ media release, leading representatives of the Romanian government, in the first months of 2021, allegedly approved the purchase of more than 52 million doses of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccine, despite the fact that the number of Romanian citizens eligible for vaccination was only 10.7 million and that more than 37.5 million doses had already been contracted in the previous months. According to prosecutors, the estimated fraud to Romania’s budget: €1 billion + VAT!

This case did not explode out of thin air. The start of an investigation by the Romanian state was announced as early as September 2021, more than two years ago. Romania’s Anti-Corruption Directorate had made it known to the public that it would verify the legality of all contracts for the purchase of vaccines. At the time, no one was charged or under official suspicion. Shortly before, Romania’s prime minister at the time, Florin Cîțu, announced that Romania had ordered 120 million doses of anti-COVID vaccine. No less than 11 vaccines for every Romanian eligible for vaccination. Shocking!

Every time the media – the alternative media, of course – has asked questions, the answers of the Romanian decision-makers were almost identical: „the vaccine procurement strategy was assumed at EU level and carried out by the European Commission”, „all countries are going in the same direction”, „if Romania had not taken part, we would not have received vaccines so quickly”, but also „we will know how much we will pay for vaccines when we receive the bill”. In other words, it is not useful for Romanian citizens to be informed about the cost of these vaccines, however huge the costs may have been. The word of the talented Mrs von der Leyen, negotiating on WhatsApp with the head of Pfizer, is enough.

Today, two years after the initiation of legal proceedings, the first suspects, who held key positions in the Romanian state in 2021, will be prosecuted for unjustified and fraudulent purchases of those so-called vaccines. Last week, in the Romanian Senate, former Prime Minister Florin Cîțu’s immunity as a senator was lifted. He is accused of several acts of complicity in abuse of office, because, in his capacity as Prime Minister of the Romanian Government at the time, he approved memoranda accepting decisions by health ministers to purchase tens of millions of doses of vaccine without any justification in terms of the real needs of the Romanian population. Ninety out of 92 senators, including his colleagues from the National Liberal Party, voted in favour of lifting parliamentary immunity and thus continuing the criminal proceedings against the former Prime Minister.
In his speech, Cîțu tried to justify it this way:
„I was aware that any decision I took would be questioned. I assume that Romania did the right thing. I did my job properly and I did it in accordance with the law.”
On the other hand, Senator Claudiu Târziu, one of the leaders of the main opposition party, the Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR), said:
„The Cîțu government practiced state terrorism, tried to vaccinate us by force, and the millions of „vaccines” contracted were not an obligation from the EU or we should not have accepted such an obligation, when it comes to the health of Romanians.
We, AUR, have managed, with the help of Romanians, to stop this disaster.
Mr Cîțu is not the only one to blame, he is just the head of the octopus. All the guilty must be brought to the bar, to give explanations and to be punished, if they are guilty by Romanian justice.”

In addition to lifting the parliamentary immunity of former Prime Minister Florin Cîțu, the President of Romania has accepted the request of the National Anti-Corruption Directorate to start criminal proceedings against former Health Ministers Vlad Voiculescu and Ioana Mihăilă, considered by prosecutors as the main responsible at government level for those reckless purchases made in early 2021.

Three former high dignitaries of the Romanian state will be brought to justice to answer for extremely serious acts in terms of criminal law, related to one of the gravest episodes in our recent history. Justice must prevail!
However, the Save Romania Union party (far-left) leader, which includes the former health ministers prosecuted for abuse of office, have referred the matter to the European Commission, citing the anti-corruption prosecutor’s „anti-vaccination” sentiments as „astonishing and incompatible with a modern Europe”. What’s more, these corruption charges would be nothing less than the start of a „massive anti-European campaign”. The propaganda machine of the radical left is working perfectly!
