The COVID-19 vaccine from Pfizer and BioNTech was the first to reach American arms, and it accounts for over half of the 380 million doses administered in the U.S. so far. The shot has another advantage as the nation hurtles into a period in which workers must either get vaccinated or lose their jobs: It’s the only vaccine fully licensed by the Food and Drug Administration, lending it preferred status as President Biden says regulatory approval should reassure holdouts. Mr. Biden didn’t tell Americans which version to take in a speech outlining his plan to mandate COVID-19 vaccines at large companies, but he pointed to FDA approval

Pfizer having been around for some time with an important rep and history, are about to paint themselves into an appearance of money hungry and mostly uncaring. That's a oneway street to long term damage with the public and customers. What a shame. They will find that when you lie down with dogs, in this case the president unelect, you get up with fleas.

It'll be easy to tell the "favorite." Which one does Hunter Biden sit on the Board of Directors?

I wonder how much Pfizer kicks back to Traitor Joe and his family?

Perhaps because the CDC is a front group for Phizer.

But...if Moderna ponied up enough dough to the Biden crime family, what's left of his mind could change.

BioNtech is NOT approved by the FDA...in fact the german made version that actually did get approval is not even available in the US, never has been, isn't likely to be. They say "They are pretty much the same"...but they are NOT THE SAME or the BioNtech would also have the approval, when in fact the "Approval" specifically excludes it.. The ONLY person I know that has been hospitalized in an ICU for covid is a retired Physician, my fathers best friend, one of my best hunting buddies...I trained his bird dogs for him. He is 92 yo now, lives in a smallish gated, retirement community with it's own various level of stand alone/single family, shared wall/duplex/triplex, apts, assisted living, housing choices..even hospice...it has it's own Hospital. Six months ago he was bragging at our monthly luncheon with a group of other Drs, medical proffesionals and family that 100% of the community and everyone working there was "Now Vaccinated", and he as well as a couple of the others gave me, and the one other guy there who had not been vacc'd a hard time. My response was..."There are ongoing trials, I'll wait and see how they turn out...you are IN one of those trials. IF the vacc works, NO ONE in your community will get sick. If only one or only a few do? That might mean they work...if more than a few do? They don't work very well". He was hospitalized with covid three weeks ago, intubated 2 weeks ago, removed from the respirator 1 week ago...survived, was just released to his home(right across the street from the hospital) yesterday. He had the Pfizer...I kept my 90yo dad isolated completely until I could get him the Moderna, he insisted on getting a shot, ANY shot...but until I could get him the moderna I refused to drive him to get one. It now looks like for 6months or so Moderna maintains at least 74% efficacy, Pfizer is about 35%.. We are on the 12th "Variant", who knows how many more to come. The one thing that we do know for sure is...the best protection against a Baaaad Case of Covid is...a mild case of Covid. Not a Shot

With $675+ Billion in sales of Covid vax, Pfizer has 337.5 reasons for a booster shot (or 675 reasons for 2 booster shots). That gives Pfizer a lot of money to spend on CDC / Fauci / Biden(family) support for booster shots.

He's been making money playing favorites since he got to Washington.

The FDA approval for Pfizer was forced under intense Biden administration pressure and is meaningless. If most of the shots out there are from Pfizer then most of the side-effect damage also belongs to Pfizer. A small percentage but still not worth the risk if you are asymptomatic.

FTA: The Pfizer vaccine accounts for 57% of the roughly 380 million shots that have been administered in the U.S. Moderna comprises 39%, and 4% have been from J&J.
It looks like J&J forgot how the pay-to-play game works.

Some might say there's a comparative advantage when a shot with no real clinical testing, wildly overblown claims of efficacy, very short duration of effect, hidden adverse events including 14,506 deaths and counting in the USA (tally includes the other covid shots), that neither protects one from catching or spreading the disease in question (a first for a "vaccine"), and having the previous head of the FDA sitting on the company's board of directors, is made compulsory under threat of being fired from your job. Others say, hey, the company is making untold billions of dollars from the US government, in amounts the taxpayers are not allowed to know, so why complain?
