Pfizer CEO says people who spread misinformation on Covid vaccines are ‘criminals’

People who spread misinformation on Covid-19 vaccines are “criminals” and have cost “millions of lives,” Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said Tuesday.

Speaking with Washington D.C.-based think tank Atlantic Council, Bourla said there is a “very small” group of people that purposefully circulate misinformation on the shots, misleading those who are already hesitant about getting vaccinated.

“Those people are criminals,” he told Atlantic Council CEO Frederick Kempe. “They’re not bad people. They’re criminals because they have literally cost millions of lives.”

Bourla’s comments come as millions of eligible adults in the U.S. have yet to get vaccinated even though the shots have been available to most Americans most of this year. Public health experts say misinformation is likely playing a large role.

According to a survey published Monday by the Kaiser Family Foundation, more than three-quarters of U.S. adults either believe or aren’t sure about at least one of eight false statements about Covid or the vaccines, with unvaccinated adults and Republicans among those most likely to hold misconceptions.

Among the falsehoods are that Covid vaccines contain microchips, cause infertility and change one’s DNA, according to the survey.

Bourla said Tuesday that life for many people can go “back to normal” once many of the unvaccinated get vaccinated.

“The only thing that stands between the new way of life and the current way of life is, frankly, hesitancy to vaccinations,” he said.

Who are the criminals? 5. Pfizer—$2.3 billion Pfizer was knocked hard by the DOJ in 2009 for various marketing infractions for a range of drugs, leading to a then-record $1.3 billion criminal penalty as part of its overall settlement. Pain drugs Bextra and Celebrex proved to be particularly costly for Pfizer, with the drugmaker as recently as 2016 agreeing to shell out $486 milion to settle a long-running shareholder suit alleging Pfizer withheld information on the drugs’ cardiovascular risks.

I don't think "locked up" is going to be good enough.

Scientists are the infallible high priests of truth. They’re never wrong, except for most of the time.

What about the study that showed more than 90% of pregnant women getting the shot in their first trimester had a miscarriage?

Yes. The image of Mussolini, hanging upside down by his ankles, at the Esso station in Milan comes to mind.

I believe Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla just called Fauci and himself criminals.

This is not going to age well for them.
