The Coulomb problem for vector bosons W incorporates a well known difficulty; the charge of the boson localized in a close vicinity of the attractive Coulomb center proves be infinite. This fact contradicts the renormalizability of the Standard Model, which presumes that at small distances all physical quantities are well defined. The paradox is shown to be resolved by the QED vacuum polarization, which brings in a strong effective repulsion that eradicates the infinite charge of the boson on the Coulomb center. This property allows to define the Coulomb problem for vector bosons properly, making it consistent with the Standard Model.
