  2. ‘Pfizer Chief Executive Albert Bourla has pulled out of an appointment to testify before the European Parliament's special committee on COVID-19, at which he was expected to face tough questions on how secretive vaccine deals were struck. The decision follows an audit report into the EU's vaccine procurement strategy published earlier in the month that raised new questions about contact between Bourla and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen that preceded a multibillion-euro vaccine contract.’

  3. ‘A Pfizer executive told the European Union parliament this week that the company’s COVID-19 vaccine was not tested for the purpose of stopping transmission of the virus before it hit the market. Janine Small, Pfizer’s president of international developed markets, testified before the EU Parliament’s Special Committee on COVID-19 Pandemic about the company’s conduct during the ongoing coronavirus outbreak. During the hearing, Dutch MEP Robert Roos asked Small if COVID-19 vaccines had been tested for stopping transmission before they became available, Small answered “no.”’
