Whistleblower at Pfizer

Paul D. Thacker: Covid-19: Researcher blows the whistle on data integrity issues in Pfizer’s vaccine trial, in: BMJ 375 (November 2, 2021) n2635, online in: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.n2635. In the fall of 2020, chairmann and chief executive Albert Bourla stated in an open letter that accurately predicting an approval date for a Pfizer vaccine in the U.S. would be difficult. He reminded the audience that they were “operating at the speed of science”. Researchers who participated in Pfizer’s vaccine trials complained that the picked up speed might be detrimental to data integrity and patient safety.
