Pfizer Distances from White House

New York Times: “Operation Warp Speed, the federal effort to rush a vaccine to market, has promised Pfizer $1.95 billion to deliver 100 million doses to the federal government, which will be given to Americans free of charge. But Pfizer executive Kathrin Jansen sought to distance the company from Operation Warp Speed and presidential politics, noting that the company — unlike the other vaccine front-runners — did not take any federal money to help pay for research and development.”

Said Jansen: “We were never part of the Warp Speed. We have never taken any money from the U.S. government, or from anyone.”
