On October 31, EU parliamentarians met in Strasbourg with renowned infectious disease expert Dr. Christian Perronne.

The European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) has launched an investigation into the EU's purchases of Covid jabs, which is likely to draw attention to Ursula von der Leyen's involvement in the situation.

The New York Times published the first text message exchanges between von der Leyen and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla in April 2021, just before the EU signed a contract to purchase up to 1.8 billion doses of BioNTech/Pfizer jabs. According to leaked jab costs, the transaction might be valued up to €35 billion. Due to the EU's lack of text message archiving, there is no paper trace for these transactions.

The EU Ombudsman accused the Commission of bad administration in January 2022 after it failed to provide the text messages in response to a freedom of information request. This led to a report by the European Court of Auditors, which was published last month, in which it was claimed that the Commission had refused transparency regarding specifics of von der Leyen's individual role in the Pfizer contract and that she had gone rogue and personally negotiated a preliminary agreement with Pfizer rather than following the customary procedures of joint negotiating teams.
