Pfizer's CEO hasn't gotten his Covid vaccine yet, saying he doesn't want to cut in line

"This is a vaccine that was developed without cutting corners from a company with 171 years of credentials," Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said.

Very believable reason for him not taking his own "medicine". /s Then again, no way to prove he took the same vaccine as he is pushing.

    Didn't he also sell a large chunk of his shares in the company right after the vaccine was announced?

      I think the sell off was from the stock hitting a preset target,

            Just saying it's a nice coincidence for him that his stocks just happened to automatically sell themselves right after the vaccine was announced

              Yes, there's a "scheduled in advance" loophole for insider trading. What a lucky individual. I sure couldn't have planned a transaction several months in advance. More likely, he had a series of SEC-filed plans for the transaction and then declined to go through with all but one.

              The vaccine announcement caused the stock price to increase which hit a predetermined price target, automatically selling off a portion of his shares. Not really a coincidence

                I'd say that's the exact definition of a coincidence (I have my doubts that he didn't plan it way in advance)

      Yep, which is the only real guarantee of this vaccine. Pfizer is set to make billions of dollars. We have no clue what the long term side effects will be or if the damn thing will even work.

      It's a rushed vaccine that had little testing and is being touted as a miracle drug. The mainstream media was all set to deny a miracle drug had Trump won but since Biden is entering office, suddenly it's all safe and OK.
