A recent social media post claimed the chairman and CEO of Pfizer Inc., the pharmaceutical company that helped develop a COVID-19 vaccine, rejected the chance to be vaccinated himself. #Pfeizer CEO Refuses to get COVID Vaccine, reads the caption to a Facebook video, which misspelled Pfizer and was shared more than 3,100 times.
In the video, Pfizer chief Albert Bourla tells CNBC host Meg Tirrell, I am 59 years old, in good health, I m not working in the front line so (I am not) recommended to get vaccinated now. That report is categorically false, Pfizer spokeswoman Sharon Castillo told USA Today. Dr. Bourla has been fully vaccinated with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.
