#OPINION | Pfizer developed the vaccine and manufactured it, as did Moderna, why should they have the luxury of shifting responsibility for side effects to the government? Well, for several reasons, explains @RoninLegal

news18.com/news/opinion/j…
@RoninLegal It is common for drug manufacturers to seek indemnification from their distributors (in this case, the government). However, it is a heavily negotiated clause.

news18.com/news/opinion/j…
@RoninLegal If the European Commission’s contract with Pfizer is any indication, the vaccine manufacturers have virtually no liability.

news18.com/news/opinion/j…
@RoninLegal What you get in a contract is often a function of your leverage. Right now, Pfizer and Moderna have a great deal of leverage, because demand for their vaccines exceeds supply. Indemnity is not a right.
