The CEO of Pfizer Albert Bourla had to cancel a trip to Israel in March, because he wasn’t fully vaccinated. The eyebrow-raising news was reported by the Jerusalem Post.
“Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla has canceled his expected visit to Israel after it turned out he has not been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus,” the Jerusalem Post reported, citing news channel N12.
“According to the channel, Bourla, as well as members of the delegation that was meant to accompany him during his visit, have not received the second dose of the vaccine,” the report continued.
“As a result, it was decided to delay the visit by several days, which also posed a logistic challenge because of the upcoming Israeli elections,” the report added. But it turns out that he never went.
Bourla’s excuse for not getting the vaccine right away is that he did not want to “cut in line,” as he said in a CNBC interview in December. He claims that he had only received one shot of the vaccine by mid-March. But despite being invited to attend an Independence Day celebration in Israel in mid-April, the CEO said that he was unable to come.
“At Israel’s main Independence Day ceremony in Jerusalem, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla delivered a recorded video message broadcast on national TV,” the AP reported.
“Together we are demonstrating that through mass vaccination we can defeat the COVID-19 pandemic and save lives,” he said in the video-recorded broadcast.
“Bourla, a son of Jewish Holocaust survivors from Greece, had reportedly been invited to attend in person as a representative of Diaspora Jewry but was unable to come,” the AP added.
The Pfizer CEO nonetheless had shown himself in a March post getting the reported second shot of the vaccine.

“Excited to receive my 2nd dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech #COVID19 vaccine,” he wrote. “There’s nothing I want more than for my loved ones and people around the world to have the same opportunity. Although the journey is far from over, we are working tirelessly to beat the virus.”
A Pfizer spokesperson sought to dispel rumors he wasn’t fully vaccinated, as was reported by the USA Today.
“That report is categorically false,” Pfizer spokeswoman Sharon Castillo told USA TODAY via email. “Dr. Bourla has been fully vaccinated with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.”
Bourla told Axios on HBO that he felt “liberated” after receiving the doses of the vaccine. But he might want to slow down on his feelings of liberations, after the CDC reported that the fully vaccinated can spread the Delta variant of COVID.
While the Food and Drug Administration is expected to give Pfizer vaccines its seal of approval early next month, there are new side effects being reported.
“Habot-Wilner, head of the Uveitis Service at the hospital, found that 21 people (23 eyes) who had received two shots of the Pfizer vaccine developed uveitis within one to 14 days after receiving their first shot or within one day to one month after the second,” the Post continued, adding, “Twenty-one people developed anterior uveitis, and two developed Multiple Evanescent White Dot Syndrome (MEWDS).”
The report comes amidst the threat of new lockdowns in Israel due to a surge in the Delta variant, a less-deadly strain that is nonetheless fueling a new wave of infections. Israel’s vaccination rate stands at about 60% fully vaccinated.
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Thursday urged Israelis to get vaccinated or potentially lose out on the public celebration of Jewish holidays.
“The future of the Jewish holidays depends on vaccination numbers,” Bennett stressed.
“I ask each of you to go and get vaccinated, you are endangering yourself and the people around you, as if you were walking with a machine gun and shooting Delta viruses at all of us,” the prime minister said. “This is a selfish, unworthy and irresponsible. None of you want to kill people by mistake, we are waiting for you at the vaccination stations.”
“If we do impose a lockdown, the purpose will be to buy us more time to vaccinate more people,” Bennett also said. Another ’15 days to slow the spread,’ prime minister?

So the CEO of Pfizer has been caught lying to the world.
Well imagine that?
So how many others big pharma, big tech, politicians, etc... got photo shots or saline shots?
Probably all of them have had saline.
Here’s your “liberation” in PDF format:
looks like a cap on that needle to me
I’m sure his 2020 compensation of 21.0 million was pretty liberating too. And with the Covid vaccine rollout his 2021 compensation is expected to top 30.0 mil.
My Oppenheimer guy just called touting a mutual fund made up of the vaccine companies. I told him that ship had sailed. Further, the inventor of mRNA technology had been sounding the alarm and everything he predicted is coming true. Hopefully, some of these new billionaires are going to prison.
who the heck wears a mask ON their chin???
who the heck wears a mask ON their chin???
His head is waaaay too big
The anti-vax nuts are desperate to find little flaws in the vaccine while ignoring the fact that 99% of the deaths and hospitalizations are from those afraid of “the jab”.
“who the heck wears a mask ON their chin???’”
I like the way the top of the mask is over the bottom of his glasses, opening an airway. He can breathe better but that mask is doing nothing to protect him or anyone else. Looks like they grabbed a kid mask for the photo.
And that needle sure looks strange.
people that are scared of covid got the shots...
people that aren’t scared of covid refuse to get the shots...
And karma says .....
I know Fauci said that, but that is not true.
Go talk to doctors and nurses around the country. They will tell it’s almost all the vaccinated that are coming in with trouble.
If you do not believe that, then look at the foreign news. They are confirming what the doctors a nurses are saying.
Highly vaccinated counties like Israel and the U.K. are having trouble with the Delta variant.
“99% of the deaths and hospitalizations are from those afraid of “the jab””
Got a citation for that?
(Of course we all know you can’t produce one)
He lied about stopping "the COVID-19 pandemic" through "mass vaccination". The Emergency Use Authorization for the Pfizer experimental treatment needs to be pulled immediately. It was put in place based on FRAUD and kept in place using that same fraud.
This man needs to charged at Nuremberg II. His testimony is not credible so he may want a good lawyer.
does anyone have a different opinion with regards to J&J?
It’s a single dose and not mRNA. Virus vector. Different, and older, technology.
Just curious...and yes this is a serious question and looking for intelligent discussion. Thanks.
It’s a little tiny label that says this side towards the enemy.
Here is a link to my local county:
https://www.coronavirus.cchealth.org/overview
Look at the data called: % of COVID-19 Deaths Among Unvaccinated
It is at 99.0%. That number is above 97 percent everywhere I’ve seen it.
You can pick any state or county and the numbers are similar. This is the real key metric that shows just how good the vaccines are. Looking at breakthrough cases is meaningless if you don’t compare it to the desired outcome.
Umm, that stat is counting all deaths since December 2020 even though almost nobody was able to get vaccinated until March 2021. It’s also including partially vaccinated AND fully vaccinated people who died up to 14 days after their 2nd shot.
Where’s the statistic for vaccinated vs unvaccinated deaths in the last 60 days? Ever ask yourself why your county is hiding that stat when it lists all the other relevant stats for the last 60 days?
The CDC released that evidence on a study of 469 cases of Covid-19 that broke out in the resort town of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, earlier this month, 74% occurred in “fully vaccinated persons.” Four out of five patients hospitalized were fully vaccinated, and on average the inoculated had completed their two rounds of doses only 86 days before infection.
