EXTRACT FROM AN ARTICLE FROM THE SUN 24 ORE ON VACCINES, REVENUES AND PUBLIC CONTRIBUTIONS:

Vaccines are not a traditional profit engine for Pharma. The anti-Covid formulas promise tens of billions of dollars in sales and billions of profits, at least in the immediate future: Moderna yesterday reported its first quarterly profit, 1.22 billion, on sales of 1.94 billion (1.73 since vaccine) versus 8 million last year. An annual turnover of 19.2 billion is expected.

Pfizer, which with the German BioNTech in turn earns on the vaccine, reported strong quarterly growth and raised the 2021 revenue forecast from vaccine alone from 15 to 26 billion. BioNTech predicts 10 billion for the year, J&J at least 10. The bet is also on solid demand in the future, amidst calls and preparations for repeated pandemics. Companies that now give up making profits on the Covid vaccine (but not on the rest), such as J&J and AstraZeneca, could however earn in the post-emergency.

The controversy over the Pharma's attitude is aggravated by the public support it has received. Figures difficult to calculate but huge. In 2020 Airfinity had estimated western government "injections" of over 9 billion in research and development alone but, when asked about updates, it replies that estimates are "difficult". On balance they could be much higher. The American Operation Warp Speed, now reabsorbed, has allocated 18 billion including pre-orders, over six billion in R&D. Berlin in September allocated 891 million in funding for BioNTech, CureVac and IDT Biologika. London, with a 16 billion vaccination plan, has donated over 53 million for AstraZeneca's research, almost all funded by the public and donations. And 118 million to institutions such as Oxford and Imperial College. Not to mention the already existing public research: vaccines with messenger RNA rely on patents of the US National Institutes of Health.

EXTRACT FROM THE INTERVIEW OF THE CORRIERE DELLA SERA TO BRUTI LIBERATI:

He was a member of the CSM, was president of the ANM, Edmondo Bruti Liberati headed the Milan Public Prosecutor's Office from 2010 to 2015, when he retired, giving way to Francesco Greco.

What do you think of the story of the prosecutor Storari who gives minutes to the councilor of the CSM Davigo, claiming that they are holding back the investigation in Milan?

«For me it is an incomprehensible story. There is a circular of 1994 on what the relations between the CSM and the investigations and trials should be ”.

Davigo said he kept to the rules.

«The circular must be read in its entirety. The general principle is clear: the CSM is precluded from any intervention on the merits of investigations and processes, but it can and must acquire information on criminal proceedings in progress, even if covered by investigative secrecy, when they concern disciplinary profiles, transfer of magistrates due to environmental incompatibility and office organization criteria. He says that it is up to the prosecutor's office to evaluate the reasons that may make it inappropriate, at a certain stage, to communicate news that could compromise the development of the investigations. It happened that, even without request, the prosecutors immediately communicated the news or delayed. In other cases, at the request of the CSM, they immediately fulfilled or reserved to do so as soon as the investigative needs ceased. The information that the Board acquires is covered by the secrecy to which each member is consequently bound. Obviously, the circular does not provide for any irrational direct acquisition of information by a single director ”.

«Extensive investigations on the world universe, precipitous inscriptions and trawling interceptions that then deflate into thin air. Let's not forget that Milan means Stock Exchange, it means the headquarters of the largest companies, but let's not forget that a long series of important investigations have been made here that have had significant judicial feedback, and even some that have not been successful, as it is in the normal procedural dialectic ".

How do you feel about what's going on in the office you ran for 5 years?

«I am very sorry for Storari. He is a respectable and highly professional magistrate, but individualism is an ugly beast ».
