Pharmaceutical company Pfizer is touting its collaboration with the first Trump administration to rapidly produce one of the major Covid-19 vaccines, as the Trump administration has sewn doubt about vaccines and cut funding for research in recent weeks.
“The success of Operation Warp Speed and U.S. development of mRNA vaccines is a profound public health achievement,” Pfizer chairman and CEO Dr. Albert Bourla wrote in an online statement on Wednesday. “Under President Trump's leadership, American innovation led the world, helping prevent economic collapse and saving more than 14 million lives globally.”
