Pfizer is refusing to give Lebanon the license to obtain & distribute its COVID vaccine unless the parliament passes an emergency law that protects Pfizer from any legal liability in case of side effects (which are severe, as we have seen in US & UK).
We hope that the Health Minister - who is currently hospitalized after contracting coronavirus (may Allah grant him a speedy recovery) - takes the same bold stance as Imam Khamenei and look to Iran and other friendly nations for the vaccine that they seek.
Imam Khamenei banned vaccines produced from American & British companies due to national security reasons - other countries should follow suit if they care about their people.
According to the last paragraph of this report, the World Bank will give a loan to Lebanon if they distribute this vaccine. Is the World Bank essentially strongarming nations with promises of loans in order to push this dangerous Pfizer vaccine onto the world?
