FWIW, Pfizer exec denies company negotiated vaccine deal with Europe via text messages

It’s a brouhaha that won’t go away: Did Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, Ph.D., negotiate a vaccine contract with the European Commission (EC) by way of text messages?

While it may be tempting for the company to respond W/E, LOL or MYOB, Pfizer is still trying to explain its way out of the mess the old-fashioned way.

Monday, during a European Parliament hearing in Germany, a Pfizer executive who participated in the contract negotiations emphatically denied the charge.
