In a hearing convened by the EU parliament’s Special Committee on the COVID-19 pandemic which was held on Monday 10th October, Cristian Terhes, a Romanian MEP affiliated with the Christian Democrats, made a rather shocking allegation when he asked Janine Small, the Pfizer representative who had been sent to answer questions on behalf of the company in place of its CEO Albert Bourla, whether Pfizer had had access to COVID-19 before the world learned about the virus – which was in December 2019. Towards the end of his first intervention, Cristian Terhes brandished a printout at Pfizer’s representative Mrs Small whilst questioning her in his non-native English almost vociferously: ‘but in the data that your company submitted to EMA [European Medicines Agency] in order to receive marketing authorisation, you provided data showing that you tested your medical product – and I quote – on … you started the test on January 14. So I am asking you: how is it possible that in three days after the whole world found out [about] the genetic data of this virus, your company already tested the vaccine on mice?’

TRANSCRIPT
Thank you so much. I was paying very close attention to everything that was said here and I cannot hide my shock and, you know, nobody answered concrete questions that all of my colleagues asked. We heard allegations here and statements from the representative of Pfizer stating – and I quote – that they cannot release the contracts because they have certain interests. What about the interests of the people? What about their health? Because it’s … it’s our authority and our job to make sure that we get to the bottom of this. So the first question that I address to you is the following – just ‘yes’ or ‘no’ –: when exactly are you going to fully publish the contracts that you signed between Pfizer and the European Commission? Second question: you were mentioning the risks, you gave us some billions of Euros that …that your company invested in producing these vaccines. What about the health of the people who are actually put at risk by being injected with these medical products that, clearly in some cases, might have adverse effects? So the second question is: is Pfizer liable according to the secret contracts that none of us saw? So we want to know exactly: is Pfizer liable or responsible for any adverse effects produced by your own products? Third question: has Pfizer had access to the coronavirus before December 2019 when we knew about it? And here’s the reason why I’m asking for it. The whole world found out about the COVID – or coronavirus – in December of 2019. On January the 11th 2020, the Chinese government published – and I quote – the genetic data of this vaccine … of this virus, but in the data that your company submitted to EMA in order to receive marketing authorisation, you provided data showing that you tested your medical product – and I quote – on … you started the test on January 14. So I am asking you: how is it possible that in three days after the whole world found out [about] the genetic data of this virus, your company [had] already tested the vaccine on mice? Thank you.
Unfortunately, Mrs Janine Small, Pfizer’s president of international developed markets and the company representative who was filling in for its CEO Albert Bourla, did not have the time to answer this extremely important question because, after she had addressed the issue of the text messages exchanged between Ursula von der Leyen and Mr Bourla for a second time as part of the answers she gave during the session, Mr Terhes asked again for the contracts to be provided to the public unredacted:

Mr Cristian Terhes
Yes, just one more question. I’m not asking about the ongoing discussions that Pfizer has with certain governments. I’m asking – and my colleagues and people, the European citizens, the journalists, media, people who are in this room are asking – for the contracts already signed because the European Commission published a version of these contracts in a redacted format and tens of pages of these contracts are totally blacked out. These are the contracts that we’re interested in. Thank you.
Mrs Janine Small
But we use a global set of terms for our contracts and so therefore what’s contained in the European Commission’s are contained in everybody else’s contracts to that degree. There are some obviously nuances depending on local regulations, but that is the issue, is that we use a global set of terms regarding it. You did have another question actually if I may … if I may regarding indemnity. Yes, indemnity. In that respect, so … so we walk away ...
[An alarm tone can be heard, most probably indicating that the first session is about to end.]
Oh, they obviously want me to stop talking. Uhm in that respect, and you know as we … we talked about, you know, how … do we have responsibilities as well? Absolutely the … the safety and efficacy of medicines and vaccines is always the highest priority for all pharmaceutical companies in … in that respect. And so, you know, in that we ... these indemnities that we have within our contracts do not remove responsibilities for the manufacturers for the production of a safe and effective vaccine. And uh and so I probably in terms of the time have to stop there, but I do really thank you for your questions and those that we haven’t uhm responded to because of time, I can assure you we’ll get back to particularly on the clinical and more uh technical questions.
Apparently, Mr Cristian Terhes was not convinced because these are the words he said during the press conference which the six ‘non-aligned’ members of the EU parliament’s Special Committee on the COVID-19 pandemic gave the next day (11th October):

TRANSCRIPT
There’s another issue: a year ago I requested them to submit some details and data to me because I wanted to have an informed decision – I would say – when I voted in favour or against the Green Certificate. And one of the questions that I asked EMA is to send me the … all the trials, the tests, the clinical trials that all these medical companies had done, either in animals or in humans, before they requested the marketing authorisation. So in the case of Pfizer, here’s something interesting: [???COMIRNATY???] when they submitted the information and the clinical trials to Pfizer – here’s all the tests that they submitted along with the request – they submitted a clinical trial that started in [sic] January 14th 2020. I asked yesterday the representative of Pfizer – and she declined to answer – ‘How is it possible that we, the world, found out in December of 2019 that there is a COVID – or coronavirus as is called – in China December of 2019 [and] on January the 11th the Chinese government released the DNA data – or a segment of it – to the public and three days later Pfizer already started the tests for this vaccine? How is that possible?’ She did not answer. In the case of Moderna – and I’ve [sic] asked the CEO of Moderna two, three weeks ago when he was here [PZ: via videoconference] – they submitted the trials since 2017 [sic]. So I’m restating the question: how is it possible that when we found out in the fall or December in the winter of 2019 about this virus they [had] submitted tests of their vaccines years before we found out about the virus? And I’m still asking that question now: how is that possible? So these are the legit[imate] questions that we all asked – and that people are asking us – and unfortunately they are declining to answer.
