U.S. Prosecutors Probe Tip About Timing of Pfizer Vaccine
Wall Street Journal ^ | March 26, 2025 | Josh Dawsey, Gregory Zuckerman, and Jared S. Hopkins

Soon after President Trump won the presidential election in November, British drugmaker GSK brought an unusual claim to federal prosecutors in Manhattan, according to people familiar with the matter.

A senior GSK scientist, who formerly worked at rival Pfizer, had told GSK colleagues that Pfizer delayed announcing the success of its Covid vaccine in 2020 until after that year’s election.

The scientist disputes that account of what he told colleagues. But prosecutors are taking a closer look at what GSK shared with them, which is potentially politically explosive. Trump for years has claimed that Pfizer sat on the positive results of clinical trials, which could have reflected well on his management of the pandemic. There has never been evidence to support the accusation, and the development of the Covid vaccines is widely viewed as a medical miracle, coming faster than any other vaccine in history.

The U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan has interviewed at least two people in connection with the allegation, including a GSK executive who took notes of a conversation with the former Pfizer scientist, according to one of the people familiar with the matter.

The scientist, Phil Dormitzer, led Pfizer’s viral vaccine research and development before moving to GSK in 2021. He has since left GSK, and his attorney is among those who have spoken to prosecutors.

Prosecutors have asked about what Dormitzer said to GSK executives in late 2024 about what happened at Pfizer in 2020, according to people familiar with the investigation.

Beautiful! Either Pfizer will have to admit that they withheld the benefits of the "vaccine" until after the election (to sway the election), or they will admit that there is no real benefit to the vaccine.

Either way, the left and their Big Pharma lose.

I don't see how claiming some credit for this toxic vaccine is "beautiful" for Trump.

At the time, it might have influenced the election, without regard to what we now KNOW.

Maybe they should have delayed announcing its success until after it did everything they claimed, like preventing COVID and not making your heat explode.

That was before we knew that it didn't work and was potentially dangerous. Everyone was waiting for the vaccine because we thought Fauci was telling the truth that it would be the thing to stop COVID. We didn't realize all the fraud behind it at the time.

It was obvious Pfizer withheld the announcement of the vaccine in order to influence the election, the timing was just too convenient. It probably DID influence the election, that with a bit of ballot box stuffing in a few critical areas resulted in the potatoe being installed into office. Big pharma wanted Trump gone in the worst way because he was threating their profits, remember how he was very critical of their price gouging and was pushing importing medicine from Canada.

Too many people believed the pseudo-messianic promise of the glorious “vaccine”.

Some of them got “vaccinated”; and later still got COVID.

All of this show is to determine what level of lies vs placation the public will accept for the wrongful deaths and exposure that they've been targeted for decades.

They're trying to figure out where the line is where people will believe "we made mistakes but now we've addressed them" and buy back into the system.

The globalist power brokers are desperate to change minds because so many people will not only never trust medical industry employees again, they won't trust government either, and the whole con job of government and korporations relies on suckers trusting them.

Donald Trump ruined their timeline in 2016 to implement a New World Order and they desperately want it back.

Too late - they've taken off their masks, thrown them on the ground, and stomped on them.

Who is John Galt?

The claimed benefits of the “vaccine” got progressively less as real data emerged.

For all those not around when FR became the Afraid Republic and mostly whined and cried about being protected from the virus that was TEOTWAWKI, Trump’s Operation Warpspeed did indeed deliver the vaccine in record time. FR mostly lauded the accomplishment as proof of the genius of Trump. Pfizer gamed its announcement timing to reinforce the idea that Trumped mishandled COVID. BIDEN won and FR grew a set and started rebelling against COVID government policies and the, Trump driven and delivered, vaccine.

The early days of COVID clearly revealed how easily even some on FR will give up freedom for a little safety. Please note the Chicken Freepers were primarily composed of those drawing the sacred monthly check.

Maybe Pfizer thought their vaccine would be safe and effective, but didn’t want Trump getting credit. Once Biden was elected, there was no reason to delay the Golden Goose from laying eggs.
