    "According to the German Ministry of Health, the federal government at the end of February had amassed a reserve of 116 million doses of Corona vaccine. 111 million more doses, valued at around 2.5 billion Euros, are slated for delivery. According to an answer given by the Ministry on 28 March to a question by Thomas Dietz, a Bundestag member of Alternativ für Deutschland, EU treaties oblige the German government to take delivery of these doses. “In view of the current state of the pandemic, the federal government is working to make these EU treaties more flexible,” the answer continues."

    "Another paper does the maths, and notes that if vaccination continues at the current rate of 2,000 jabs per day, the 227 million doses which Germany will last for 311 years. Of course, all of these doses will expire well before then, so Germany will merely receive all of this useless product, store it at substantial expense in freezers for around eigh**** months, and then throw it away."


    I cannot imagine the clowns running the UK haven't also signed up to something similar as well at horrendous expense, which is possibly why the Chamber emptied when Vaccines were being discussed, they're hoping we'll never find out. Or maybe because we've left the EU, we aren't obliged to sign up like Germany is, and we haven't, in which case we've dodged a very expensive bullet, thanks to Boris and Sir Nigel of course.

    All quiet on the Western front now apart from a rollout of booster jabs for care home residents and the over 75s. I suspect those jabs will probably see most of them off before next winter kicks in.

    I'm awaiting my series of texts inviting me to play Armageddon Roulette in the Pfizer casino. They will, of course, be ignored. Meanwhile, it's not just Germany, it's follow the money time in Japan as well.

    "Jabonomics: Audit Board questions why Japan ordered 882 mil jabs"

    "Sounding somewhat like your yen-pinching correspondent, the Audit Board of Japan recently released a report questioning the wisdom of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare’s (MHLW) procurement choices."

    "You mean to tell me that ordering over 7 jabs for every citizen had a “weak basis”? If only someone had noticed before now.

    Japan's audit board has requested the health ministry provide supporting documentation for contracts with U.S and British coronavirus vaccine manufacturers after finding a weak basis for ordering a total of 882 million doses in fiscal 2020 and 2021.

    The report released Wednesday by the Board of Audit of Japan also found that at least 30 percent of the doses were either canceled or disposed of after expiring.

    The Asahi Shimbun has more details.

    A Board of Audit official who handled the matter said the lack of written documentation made it impossible to determine if the 882 million shots were excessive, insufficient or appropriate.

    That’s a polite way of saying the MHLW let the vax makers take Japanese taxpayers for a ride.
    T14 trillion yen were paid to local governments that handled the actual vaccination of residents.

    But the Board of Audit report also stated that health ministry documents did not contain an adequate basis for determining how the volume of vaccines secured was calculated.

    Comparing the MHLW to a drunken sailor would be an insult to drunks and sailors.

    From October 2020, the government signed contracts with four foreign pharmaceutical companies for the vaccines because no domestic company had succeeded in developing an effective vaccine.

    Because nations around the world were trying to acquire the vaccines, the health ministry signed the contracts even before the companies had successfully developed them and they were approved for domestic use.

    Health ministry officials told them the plan to secure the vaccines was intended to ensure they would have enough for the population even if a certain company failed to develop a vaccine, according to Board of Audit officials.

    “Enough for the population”? Considering Covid’s low fatality rate in Japan before the jabs, 882 experimental shots would’ve been excessive, let along 822 million."
