    Does it matter what they admit? These companies always wait for many years to admit anything. By then the damage to people is done.

    Of course one could argue that if everyone would vaccinate, almost everyone would be better off, except people with side effects. But I can absolutely understand why people don’t want to risk being that person getting side effects. There is no help to be had if you are that person.

      If they admit in court then yes, it will have legal consequences as we see here. They are rushing to reduce their litigation risk going forward. Likely bribing politician and health officials in various markets as we speak.

      Will they be punished for misconduct? We know that these people can kill whistleblowers and jack shit anyone will do about it…
