From the Twitter Files: Pfizer board member Scott Gottlieb secretly pressed Twitter to hide posts challenging his company's massively profitable Covid jabs

To funnel his demands, Gottlieb used the same Twitter lobbyist the White House did - fresh evidence of overlap between the company selling mRNA shots and the government forcing them on the public.

On August 27, 2021, Dr. Scott Gottlieb - a Pfizer director with over 550,000 Twitter followers - saw a tweet he didn’t like, a tweet that might hurt sales of Pfizer’s mRNA vaccines.

The tweet explained correctly that natural immunity after Covid infection was superior to vaccine protection. It called on the White House to “follow the science” and exempt people with natural immunity from upcoming vaccine mandates.

It came not from an “anti-vaxxer” like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., but from Dr. Brett Giroir, a physician who had briefly followed Gottlieb as the head of the Food & Drug Administration. Further, the tweet actually encouraged people who did not have natural immunity to “Get vaccinated!”

No matter.

By suggesting some people might not need Covid vaccinations, the tweet could raise questions about the shots. Besides being former FDA commissioner, a CNBC contributor, and a prominent voice on Covid public policy, Gottlieb was a senior board member at Pfizer, which depended on mRNA jabs for almost half its $81 billion in sales in 2021. Pfizer paid Gottlieb $365,000 for his work that year.

Gottlieb stepped in, emailing Todd O’Boyle, a top lobbyist in Twitter’s Washington office who was also Twitter’s point of contact with the White House.

The post was “corrosive,” Gottlieb wrote. He worried it would “end up going viral and driving news coverage.”

Those who rushed in out of fear and selfish stupidity and rolled up their sleeve for the experimental wonder drug can never be trusted. They will join with the censors rather than admit they were fooled so badly for so long. They don’t care how many people going forward are harmed by making the same mistake they did. To them, it’s all about them. They enabled all of this.

Well, aren't you an arrogant SOB?

The FACT is that many of us got the first shot for various reasons, like I had to travel by air for my job and it was a requirement. Did I want it? Not really. Do I regret it? No. I didn't fall for the boosters.

But don't try to come off as holier-than-thou because you were able to avoid the shot. Some of us had no real choice.

We were under the same threats you were and refused.

If my remarks sounded disparaging it’s because they were meant to be. You’ve been absorbed and you’ll fall for the next one.

I don’t trust sleeve-rollers.
