The CEO of Pfizer dismissed any suggestions that his company waited until the presidential election was decided before announcing the promising results of its COVID-19 vaccine trials.
Albert Bourla, the chairman and CEO of Pfizer, completely rejected these suggestions in a Monday interview with CNN. "We announced it the moment we learned about it," Bourla said. "I said multiple times that the election for us is an artificial timeline."
Whoops. So he's changed his story?
ReplyDeleteNo, he's being disingenuous. They only heard about it after the election because he cancelled the interim analysis that was set to take place before the election. Thus his claim that "We announced it the moment we learned about it," is true, but he engineered the timing of when the company would learn about the results to occur only AFTER the election, by cancelling the readout that would have taken place before the election. (They also would have announced that result the moment they heard about it. Because companies are legally obligated to do so).
