Pfizer executives descend on Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago for planning meeting
Financial Times ^ | Jan. 7, 2025 | Oliver Barnes and Alex Rogers

Pfizer’s chief executive Albert Bourla decamped with his top management team to Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort for an off-site meeting, in the latest attempt by corporate America to ingratiate itself with the US president-elect.

Bourla arrived with several members of his executive leadership in Palm Beach, Florida, on Monday evening, according to flight records and two people familiar with the matter.

Pfizer’s executive team was using Mar-a-Lago for a planning meeting over several days, the people said. While there was no scheduled meeting between Bourla and Trump, the pair were likely to interact and the choice of venue was another example of outreach from the pharmaceutical industry to Trump, a person familiar with the meeting said.

Pharma executives have been bracing for the appointment of vaccine sceptic and former independent presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr and his allies to run the US health department and its powerful agencies, such as the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Bourla, who worked closely with the Trump administration on the development of a Covid-19 vaccine, has been leading the charge to cosy up to the president-elect.

He met Trump at Mar-a-Lago in the run-up to November’s election, and then was instrumental in organising a December dinner with Trump, Kennedy, Eli Lilly chief executive David Ricks and Stephen Ubl, the head of PhRMA, the industry lobbying group, the people said.

Bourla = Vile, globalist, WEF-slurping filth. Kennedy’s going to dismantle him and his fellow filth in the pharma cabal.

All the free Viagra samples in the world would not get Mr. Trump to sign off on a plan that is not in America’s best interest.

Fellas, you better be bringing something really good for the country.

Why did Trump OK a meeting with this drug-making parasite Pfizer in the first place?

Because they are going to get slapped silly by the Trump/Kennedy admin and these scumbags know it. Trump ought to bar them from Mar-a-lago until they take their fake dRNA shots supplied by Trump, on camera LIVE for the whole world to see.

They probably want to avoid Trump making another EO regulating their pricing to the American consumer.

We’ve been led to believe his accomplices were unwitting.

Yup. Suckups are Trump’s kryptonite.

My reaction was, I hope he has some informal interactions with RFKJr. And that there’s video.

A ‘planning meeting”? What exactly is Pfizer planning?

I have a feeling that, after the way they lied to Trump, they’re the ones with sinking feelings...

Maybe PDJT can ask Bourla why Apixaban/Eliquis “is available as a generic medication, although NOT in the United States”.

I don’t know if Big Pharma has a cure for cancer hidden in their labs, but if they do, maybe Trump can get them to release it.

All I see is that Pfizer rented out a meeting room at Trump’s resort. Nothing says Trump is part of the meeting.
