Wait! What? You're Saying I'm A Fucking Idiot Whose Name Will Be Turned To Shit By The History Books?
The Romanian Senate yesterday opened the way for prosecutors to investigate Florin Citu, Romania’s prime minister in 2021, for spending $1.1 billion on 53 million mRNA Covid jabs from Pfizer which Romania never used.
Citu now serves as a senator in Romania, a post that makes him immune from prosecution. The Senate voted 90-2 to lift that immunity and allow the investigation to move forward, Romanian news outlets reported.
Prosecutors are also examining the roles of two former Romanian health ministers in the jab purchase. All three may be charged with “abuse of power” (also translated as “abuse of office”), prosecutors have said.
The criminal investigation is the latest sign of how far, and how fast, mRNA Covid shots have fallen, particularly in Europe.
In May 2021, European countries were so desperate to get mRNAs that they agreed to spend over $20 billion to buy 900 million Pfizer shots - on top of 600 million they had already purchased. (The May deal included an option to buy yet another 900 million shots, for 1.8 billion total - four shots for every person in the EU.)
