Pfizer Defends Covid Shot, Says Trump Deserves Nobel Prize

&quot Bloomberg) -- Pfizer Inc. defended the research supporting its Covid vaccine in statement on its website, in a direct response to a social media post by President Donald Trump over the weekend questioning whether drug companies were withholding information about the shots.

The company is “dedicated to continuing to provide clear, factual data to the public,” Pfizer Chief Executive Officer Albert Bourla said in the statement, adding that data on Pfizer’s Covid shot has been disclosed in more than 600 peer-reviewed publications.

Bourla also praised Trump’s handling of Operation Warp Speed, which shepherded the development of Covid vaccines, saying the effort “would typically be worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize, given its significant impact.”

Tell them that they deserve a prize for something they don’t want to do.

Let’s manipulate the Idiot Amin, Toddler in Chief, by telling him he would get a Nobel prize for medicine if he makes vaccinations easier to get and encourages people to get them. Obama never got one for medicine.

Of course he’d never win the awards. But lead him on to think he could

This is so transparent but funny in a sick way. I guess if it helps keep vaccines on the market I’ll stomach it.

No way he shares the prize with Pence though.
