Emergent BioSolutions Destroyed Evidence of Vaccine Control Problems

Emergent BioSolutions concealed evidence last year from the Food and Drug Administration in regards to potential problems with their Covid-19 vaccination production failure and its contamination, while destroying doses, as revealed to a House panel. Nearly 400 million Covid-19 vaccine doses were destroyed at Emergent BioSolution’s facility due to the company’s “failure to meet or maintain quality standards,” a congressional report released on Tuesday said.

Cross-contamination of the Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca vaccinations was discovered in March of 2021. No contaminated doses made it to the public.
