The European Commission has been unable to find the text messages exchanged between president Ursula von der Leyen and the boss of giant pharmaceutical company Pfizer, the EU executive said in a letter to the EU ombudsman published on Wednesday (29 June).

Bourla made the comment at a press briefing organized by the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers & Associations (IFPMA), which took place Wednesday and where he discussed the creation of a new COVID vaccine.An annual vaccine to boost ‘compliance’“What the world really needs is a vaccine that can last a year,” stated Bourla.

Pfizer CEO says a fourth booster shot 'is necessary' Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said on Sunday that a fourth dose of the COVID-19 vaccine will be necessary to continue to help keep hospitalizations manageable and sicknesses more mild. "Right now, the way that we have seen, it is necessary, a fourth booster right now. The protection that you are getting from the third, it is good enough, actually quite good for hospitalizations and deaths," Bourla said while appearing on CBS's "Face the Nation."

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla admitted Saturday that he is hoping people around the world will receive annual COVID-19 vaccine shots. The admission comes as the global community implements booster campaigns because, as Reuters noted , the COVID vaccines have proven to be effective at preventing most deaths and hospitalizations, but not transmission. What are the details? Speaking with Israel's N12 News, Bourla was asked whether he believes COVID booster shoots will be administered on a regular basis, such as every four or five months. In response, Bourla expressed hope in annual vaccine shots. "This will not be a good scenario,"...

"Once a year it is easier to convince people to do it. It is easier for people to remember. From a public health situation, it is an ideal solution. We are looking to...

Vaccine mandates are one of many stifling measures brought on by the ongoing COVID pandemic, a consequence of those trying to “follow the science” and doing anything but or of government and bureaucrat officials using the opportunity to flex their authoritarian muscles. Whether they serve a useful societal function is an open question.The CDC website cites a book chapter by research scholars Kevin Malone and Alan Hinman that describes vaccine mandates as a means of “drastically reducing infectious diseases in the United States.” Mandates present a challenge “when societal interest conflicts with the individual’s interest.” With vaccine mandates, there is...

Last week Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, gave an interview to Yahoo Finance and made some truly startling admissions. He said, among other things, that the two original Pfizer injections provide no protection against Covid-19. “We know that the two doses of the vaccine offer very limited protection, if any,” Bourla confessed. If, then, you have received the two shots you are not protected against infection or severe Covid or death. Neither are you less likely to transmit the disease to others than your unvaccinated neighbor or co-worker. To put it in a different way, the first two jabs...

It all started with a simple admission. Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla joined Yahoo Finance’s Anjalee Khemlani to discuss vaccines, boosters, and Omicron. He admitted what we already know based on the results we’ve been seeing, but in doing so he opened up a can of worms. Here’s what he said, emphasis added: “So — and we know that the two doses of the vaccine offer very limited protection, if any. The three doses, with the booster, they offer reasonable protection against hospitalization and deaths — and, again, that’s, I think, very good — and less protection against the infection.” This...

I think it’s pretty clear by now that the pandemic is going to be around indefinitely, and by pandemic, I don’t mean the COVID-19 virus, I mean the pharmaceutical gold rush.The writing’s on the wall if you look for it. While on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Pfizer Chairman and CEO Albert Bourla was discussing the vaccines with host Becky Quick who mentioned the fourth dose already in the works. Bourla said that this dose would be necessary in order to keep people safe from the virus, especially with Omicron now making the rounds:“I think when we see real world data will...

A few days ago, the Atlantic Council interviewed Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Pfizer, Albert Bourla. Watching it was another one of those “I really wish I hadn’t, but it was too late because I already have” moments.Journal Storage or JSTOR states The Atlantic Council (“Council”) “provides an essential forum for navigating the dramatic economic and political changes defining the twenty-first century by informing and galvanizing its uniquely influential network of global leaders.” And the Council of the United Kingdom states it “is an entirely volunteer based charity; we survive through the generosity of supporters, and of course our...

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla is right now wealthier beyond his wildest dreams because he created an ATM that brings in billions of dollars every month, and it is called the COVID-19 vaccine. This brand-new mRNA vaccine is very different from other vaccines that actually stop disease, this one only works if everyone takes it, and even then, it doesn’t stop anyone from contracting COVID. Bourla says that you will only be allowed to ‘get your life back’ if you agree to take his Pfizer jab. Oh, he also says vaccine refusers are criminals who kill people. “And Jacob called unto...

Atlantic Council CEO Frederick Kempe asked Bourla how he deals with that, what he thinks is the "primary source" and "how damaging" it was. "I'm afraid it was...

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla There will be a return to normal life within a year, Pfizer CEO and Chairman Albert Bourla said on Sunday, adding that it’s likely annual Covid vaccination shots will be necessary. “Within a year I think we will be able to come back to normal life,” Bourla said in an interview on ABC. “I don’t think that this means that the variants will not continue coming, and I don’t think that this means that we should be able to live our lives without having vaccinations. But that, again, remains to be seen.” In order to make...

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla warned on Tuesday that people who don't take the Covid-19 vaccine will become a "weak link" that allows the coronavirus to spread. Bourla, whose company is in late-stage testing for a potential inoculation, said he understands the public's concerns about vaccines, which are being developed in record time. He said Pfizer will only request authorization from the Food and Drug Administration after data shows that its vaccine is safe and effective. But he also said people who decide against taking the vaccine once available "will not only affect their lives." They "will affect the lives of...
