God has a sense of humor.
A tornado wreaked havoc on a Pfizer plant in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, on Wednesday, causing extensive damage to the facility known for its production of medical supplies for hospitals worldwide.
The National Weather Service reported that the tornado, which touched down near the town at approximately 12:30 p.m., was classified as an EF3, with wind speeds reaching up to 150 mph. This extensive power resulted in significant damage to a key building at the pharmaceutical plant.
One Pfizer employee described the tornado’s rapid onset to ABC11, stating it happened in a span of 60 to 90 seconds, giving little time to react.
First, the lights flickered inside the facility and then it sounded like a “bomb went off,” according to the employee. He and his group promptly ran to a designated safety area.
According to Nash County Sheriff Keith Stone, the Pfizer plant houses large quantities of medicine, much of which was scattered by the tornado’s force. The plant’s warehouse area suffered the brunt of the damage.
“I’ve got reports of 50,000 pallets of medicine that are strewn across the facility and damaged through the rain and the wind,” Stone said.
Despite the destruction inflicted on the facility and its stockpile, there were no injuries reported as of Wednesday evening, according to a statement from Pfizer.
In their statement, Pfizer confirmed the damage, stating, “We can confirm that the Pfizer Rocky Mount facility was damaged by the tornado.”
“Pfizer colleagues at the site followed our established safety protocol and were able to evacuate. They are safe and accounted for.”

Why are people so happy about this? Some sick people rely on those injectable medications.
I guess God didnt think much about the push to poison 6 month old and up kids.
And the Nazis and Stalin made the trains run on time.
I will not suffer apologists for a company who knowingly put out a product forced onto people over threat of jail or loss of employment that is dropping people like flies and causing miscarriages at unseen before levels.
Ireland, India, China, Malaysia, Vietnam, mostly. I'm not sure why Ireland? But they do.
America is mostly research and pilot manufacturing facilities. Once the drug is cleared and commonly marketed it is made elsewhere.

This is not good. Rocky Mount makes a lot of important meds. Sounds like it destroyed the warehouse and the stuff inside. Hopefully the manufacturing facility is ok.
Divine intervention? 🙏🌪
More like they’ll take that opportunity to jack prices up. And in the meantime, hopefully no ones dies from the clot shot.
Your gloating and crowing for the damage to the Pfizer plant is disturbing. Pfizer produces some of the most effective antibiotics and heart failure drugs available. While you chant like a jihadi, I will hope and pray that friends and family will not die because a life-saving Pfizer injection was destroyed in the tornado.
Take two aspirins and call me tomorrow.
A voice in the wilderness. Thank you for that.
Most of the nasty commenters may soon be horrified to hear that their viagra may have been in the destroyed warehouse.
Ireland has favorable tax policies.
Gotcha. Thanks for splainin.
And now blame shortages on global warming than on third world bulk manufacturing. The facility will be rebuilt on taxpayer money as well, I’m certain. An earmark in a misleadingly named spending bill.
I think this is the person who did it!

Now, THAT’S an Act of God!
