Pfizer Quietly Financed Groups Lobbying for COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates.
Consumer, physician, public health, & civil rights groups received Pfizer's cash -- often undisclosed -- while lobbying for the mandate. New reporting: leefang.substack.com/p/pfizer-quiet…
Appeared with @rustyrockets this morning to discuss this latest exclusive story.
-- Pfizer funded the Chicago Urban League while they pushed back against concerns from the Black community on the vaccine mandate.
-- Pfizer funded the National Consumers League, a corporate watchdog group that endorsed the mandate.
-- Pfizer funded the Immunization Partnership, a Houston-based public health nonprofit that lobbied against Texas anti-mandate legislation.
The documents cited in this story are linked in my Substack and are only a slice of Pfizer and biopharma’s influence spending.
Thank you to @briebriejoy @robbysoave for having me to discuss this latest reporting on Pfizer's quietly funding outside groups that lobbied for the vaccine mandate. leefang.substack.com/p/pfizer-quiet…
Note this Twitter Files piece I reported earlier this year also revealed a Pfizer-funded "disinfo" group with inside access to social media giants helped censor posts critical of vaccine passports/mandates
Joined @unherd to discuss this story and other pharma industry issues
