Vaccines and the questionable obligation of States to pay exorbitant amounts
Imagine living in a city where the mayor decides what to buy. The first citizen has decided that we must change houses. He also chooses her beautiful, in a skyscraper.

“Poland cannot directly terminate the contract for the supply of vaccines, since the contracting parties are the European Commission and the producers“said Pfizer.
On December 6 there will be the first court hearing.
Poland is not alone in this situation. Polish Health Minister Katarz So He noted that other EU member states will face similar lawsuits.
