Survey of the Council of Europe on Conflict of Interest around influenza A and the business of untested vaccines


At the initiative of the Social Democrat Wolfgang German Wodarg also interviewed in the documentary "A virus that debate" (NDR for ARTE) we can see on this page, the Council of Europe launched a commission investigation of conflicts of interest between decision-making bodies and pharmaceutical companies producing vaccines. There could be an "urgent debate" during its Parliamentary Assembly in January. The companies are (finally!) Suspected of a huge disinformation that has a global business with vaccines uncertain.

Wolfgang Wodarg is himself a medical epidemiologist specializing in lung diseases and chairs the health committee in the Council of Europe. He does not mince words, and we would love to have such politicians in France, denouncing both the lack of transparency, lack of democratic control and multiple layers of conflicts of interest or corruption, between laboratories and national regulatory authorities and international.
