Pfizer is spending more than $2 billion in cash to buy a drugmaker focused on cancer treatments.

Pfizer will pay $18.50 for each share of Trillium Therapeutics Inc., or more than double the stock’s 60-day weighted average price.

Trillium has no products on the market. Its potential treatments include biologics that aim to prime a patient’s immune system to detect and destroy cancer cells.

The deal announced Monday will need approval from Trillium shareholders.

Very smart move, as thier vacine destroys T cells that help prevent cancer. Take profits from the vacine...very, very smart move. Diabolical, but smart.

Well, as of 1 pm, despite spending billions, Pfizer’s stock is up.

I read they have made $35 billion from their covid vaccine. I’m sure the stock is up due to today’s FDA approval.
