"Pfizer halts corona vaccine shipments to Israel after country fails to pay"
“Refusing to pay” is a ridiculous falsehood.
Israel has a transition government right now and there’s been conflict between Benjamin Netanyahu and Benny Gantz over Netanyahu’s refusal to approve the permanent appointment of a justice minister. Gantz cancelled the meeting that was set to approve payment for an additional 30 million vaccines in retaliation toward Netanyahu and then tried to claim that the Health ministry already had authorization to make the purchase. Pfizer is caught in the middle of this and doesn’t want to provide product at risk while this power struggle plays out, which is their right to do.
But feel free to continue making up stories about Israel not wanting to continue their mass vaccination program. I’m sure it won’t look even more ridiculous when they buy the remaining 30 million doses in the next few days and shipments resume. And if it did, I have no doubt you’d come back and apologize for misspeaking about something you know NOTHING about, right?
