Pfizer says former employee stole trade secrets on megablockbuster COVID-19 vaccine
Fierce Pharma ^ | 11-24-21 | Eric Sagonowsky

Pfizer and other drugmakers go to great lengths to protect their proprietary information. When it comes to the world's best-selling pharmaceutical product, the company's BioNTech-partnered COVID-19 vaccine, Pfizer's defense of trade secrets carries even more weight.

That's why the company is working to get a handle on information allegedly stolen by a "soon-to-be former employee." In a new lawsuit filed in California, published by Bloomberg, Pfizer says an employee, Chun Xaio Li, uploaded more than 12,000 files, including "confidential Pfizer documents," to a personal Google Drive account and to personal devices.

The company says it "has yet to understand the full scope" of the alleged theft thanks to the "sheer number" of documents involved. The company's lawsuit focuses on the COVID-19 vaccine, Comirnaty, and two cancer monoclonal antibodies.

Pfizer confronted Li after learning of the "troubling conduct," and she initially "gave the appearance of cooperation," the lawsuit says. Now, though, Pfizer believes Li "misled" the company "about what she took, how she took it, when and why she did it and where those files (and possibly others) can be found today." The company alleges she even gave a "decoy laptop" to divert the investigation.

Hey Pfizer, you’ll have to wait 55 years to press charges due to lengthy investigation discovery.

So Pfizer didn’t create the Coof jab out of altruism, as we have been led to believe?

Jonas Salk didn’t patent the Polio vaccine.

“When Murrow asked him, “Who owns this patent?”, Salk replied, “Well, the people I would say. There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?” The vaccine is calculated to be worth $7 billion had it been patented.”

“Pfizer says an employee, Chun Xaio Li”

What, exactly, did Pfizer expect when they hired her?

By the way, at best, China’s getting disinformation, since the vaccines are no better than saline solution. So nothing lost here.

The info went to China immediately. If they truly don't realize that, then good luck to anyone who gets injected by the morons who developed this “vaccine”.

In China, stealing company secrets, particularly from foreigners, is very common. She is carrying the tradition with her.

As a corollary, in China, its just another reason why state-run companies will always survive in China. Rampant IP theft doesn’t happen to them, because government/state-run firms control everything about employees - their housing, their social-welfare, their identities. If you screw them over, you WILL pay, and so will your family.

Private or foreign companies who get screwed over in China face a government which doesn’t really care, and a feeble court system.
