Pfizer-funded vaccine talks spread fake news about competitors
Claims that rival vaccines could cause cancer and not be used for immunocompromised patients have been debunked by four doctors – including one who works on Pfizer’s advisory board. (National Post)
The allegations were made during talks delivered to the Canadian govt by the Pharma giant.
A list of disadvantages was apparently drawn from a scientific paper which the company knew about, says its author, but the company denies any editorial influence on the presentation or attempts to undermine competitors.
Pfizer hired a “reputable medical communication agency” to put the presentation together.
At arm’s length, or client-industry confidentiality?
