Grifting along

You can add this fiasco to the Arrive Can file.

…the press secretary for Health Minister Mark Holland, Chris Aoun, said the government made a $150 million non-refundable advance payment to Quebec-based Medicago early in the pandemic to fund development and reserve a number of doses of its eventual COVID-19 vaccine.

Then in February, the company’s owner Mitsubishi Chemical Group announced it was shutting the company down in light of “significant changes” to the vaccine market three years into the pandemic.

Aoun said that Medicago met all the terms for the $150 million non-refundable advance payment but that the contract was eventually terminated “by mutual consent” and that “Medicago was released of its obligations” in the advance contract.

    1. Were there by any chance any significant donations to Librano Syndicate operatives by the Companies and entities receiving such largesse. Our trusty CBC sleuths (finest in the world doncha know, says Ms Tait) will be on this like a dog on a bone. Maybe.

  1. ((( in light of “significant changes” to the vaccine market three years into the pandemic.)))

    Heh,… “significant changes.” I can think of a couple…such as patients having to foot the bill on a going forward basis instead of the government. Or maybe it was that Medicago is partially owned by Phillip Morris and the optics of a cigarette company producing a “vaccine” to address a respiratory virus is amusing. So amusing that the WHO gave Medicago a hard time about getting it’s “Vaccination” approved for use.

    Am I getting close?

  2. So, 150 million for nothing from this scam plus how much to the ChiComs that pulled out before delivering anything plus billions to the two mRNA outfits that didn’t and now won’t get used. It’s almost as if the Government had no clue about what it was doing. At least we had Teresa Tam to save us from ourselves.

  3. “The “advance purchase agreement” was one of seven the government signed early in the pandemic with vaccine manufacturers to secure vaccine doses as soon as they were ready. “

    Science of the Lambs.

  4. Wonder how many remember:
    “We’re borrowing the money so you don’t have to”
    Wonder how many connect this to the inflation and interest rates we pay now?

  5. The stench of corruption only gets worse, wonder if the tax payers can sue to find out where the millions actually went?
