Putting a confidentiality clause on a development which has no competition, is forced on the whole world, bears no liability for performance or non-performance is an absurd in itself.

Note that this product has been created paid by the money taken from the pockets of all the people worldwide (the “free” vaccine based on the arbitrary purchase contracts arranged and signed without any advance public information). The developers, designers and manufacturers have not invested a single cent.

From the financial point of view, this is definitely #1 scam in the history of the world.

"An der Goldgrube" says it all. When I read the name, I am always reminded of my time in the civil service when we had a client there (an old lady with bad eyesight for whom we prepared lunch and read from the newspaper).

I'm going to 'like' this post despite its content, for I'm pissed off magnificently.

Thank you, Christian, for bringing this up! I just looked up all the Austrian EU Parliament critters, cross-referenced their votes, and sent them a variation of the email you so kindly pre-formulated.

While I don't expect much, if anything, to come out of this, perhaps I'll get a good laugh reading one or another (equivocating) reply.

I will, but I wouldn't bet on getting any responses.

So far, I got 2 (out of 6 possible) responses. One pointed to the publication of the contracts (to which I replied that this was like publication of a telephone book with all the numbers censored), and one pointed to the "fiscal interests" of EU countries regarding future contracts, arguing that others (Switzerland) have acted similarly (to which I replied that maybe EU citizens would prefer to trade some "fiscal interests" to transparency, that the pointing to others is rather childish, and that the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) has recommended removal of the censoring in the publication of the Swiss contracts).
