The European Medicines Agency (EMA) today revealed that some of the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine data stolen from its servers in December was leaked online.
EMA is a decentralized agency responsible for reviewing and approving COVID-19 vaccines, as well as for evaluating, monitoring, and supervising any new medicines introduced to the EU.
"The ongoing investigation of the cyberattack on EMA revealed that some of the unlawfully accessed documents related to COVID-19 medicines and vaccines belonging to third parties have been leaked on the internet," EMA said today. "Necessary action is being taken by the law enforcement authorities."
"The Agency continues to fully support the criminal investigation into the data breach and to notify any additional entities and individuals whose documents and personal data may have been subject to unauthorized access."
EMA also said that European medicines regulatory network is fully functional and COVID-19 evaluation and approval timelines are not affected by the incident.
On December 31st, BleepingComputer became aware of threat actors leaking what they claimed was the stolen EMA data on several hacker forums. Below is a screenshot of one of the leaks seen by BleepingComputer at the time.
The hacked files show that the clinical vaccines had 78% RNA integrity which dropped to only 55% in the commercial batches:

If there are at least 24 who would have died from Covid-19 later this year but now don't die because of the vaccination, then the vaccination is already a net positive.
The Tao of math: The numbers you can count are not the real numbers.

Some of us are not ready to go toe to toe against COVID-19 in an all out war of attrition just to keep the environment killing economy spinning at prior levels.
In other words: the number of people the vaccine "saves" is very directly impacted by the number of f-tards who go around spreading it because they're too f-tardish to even wear a mask.
The "New Zealand" approach has 100% conquered COVID-19 sans vaccine, vaccine risk is 99.999% un-necessary in NZ today.

You are willing to kill nursing home patients for no reason apparently.

How many nursing home patients are dying of Covid in New Zealand this month?
Unless they're faking their news: zero, just like the previous three months.

It will be a nice control when they start vaxxing them. Didn't NZ deny the vax for nursing homes though?

Nope. Since it's currently unnecessary in NZ, they have the luxury of sitting back and waiting to see how it plays out elsewhere before applying it. Now if I were them I'd at least vaccinate all the quarantine workers...
