TDLR: It is a fake contract, and sheeple being tricked without recourse in Contractual Law.
In order for a contract to be valid where the supplier takes on liability, there has to be an "exchange" where the someone pays for the good offered by the supplier.
Its "free" to the people, but the governments are paying billions - so the contract (between Govt and Pharmas) itself is still valid - unless the fraud is proven, which should not be too hard.
Agreed. Not saying they are untouchable. Just pointing out the trickery. And one could argue that the gov't is actually a co-conspirator in the fraud.
Thats actually the defense by Pfizer and co, that govt knew they were buying fraud, so they are free and clear. Very similar to the Durham case where the lawyer who lied to FBI claimed that FBI knew it was a lie.
In the end they will get screwed in a million ways, as all these "loopholes" mean nothing as people watch their loved ones dying.
Im glad pfizer has so many loopholes with which to hang from.
Its by design. My reply to another comment is relevant here too.
^expert in turning loopholes into nooses...hehe
