) to reserve or buy up-front doses of its COVID-19 vaccine under development, two officials familiar with the talks told Reuters.

The Commission’s deal with the U.S. firm Johnson & Johnson is “in the pipeline”, a top health official from an EU member state said, asking to remain anonymous as these were confidential discussions about vaccines between the EU executive and EU governments. It was unclear whether any deal would involve an advance purchase of the vaccine in testing, or an option to buy it.

He said the EU was also seeking a deal with French vaccine-maker Sanofi . A spokesman for Sanofi had no immediate comment. But, underlining the urgency of securing a vaccine for the EU’s 450 million population, the Commission had already begun talks with Johnson & Johnson even before the steering board has been agreed.

“Johnson and Johnson’s vaccine is one of the promising initiatives,” a spokesman for the Dutch health ministry said, declining to comment on the talks underway.

And the ingredients will be lethal at years like the baby powder. J&J has no respect for nothing. Just money.

Johnson and Johnson made cancerous baby powder for babies. Why trust them?
