Pfizer CEO
Albert Bourla says in an interview set to run Friday that former
President Trump told him before last year's election that a coronavirus vaccine could help his chances.
On clips from "The Carlos Watson Show" provided in advance exclusively to The Hill, Bourla says that
Trump would call to encourage him to get the vaccine out quickly, but emphasized that “he never pressed me to do something that would be inappropriate with a vaccine.”
“In the few times that he was telling me that we need to do it fast — first he would say, ‘We need to do it quickly; people are dying,’ and then also he would add, ‘
Of course it will help me also in the election, but people is the important thing.’”

Trump the hypocrite.
I didn't know that Pfizer had this kind of close contact with Trump. Pfizer had decided early on in the development of their vaccine that they didn't want any Fed money because it would mean pols interfering with their scientific & manufacturing teams.
