The Pfizer CEO was in fine form when he interviewed for Atlanta Council think tank on November 9, 2021. The conversation got around to virus disinformation, when Albert Bourla came out particularly strong. He alleged a ‘very small group of people are responsible for spreading vaccine disinformation’. Was this a disguised marketing message, or is malicious disinformation actually a COVID killer?
Are Those Spreading the Alternate Message Really Killers?
Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla certainly believes that is the case. ‘Those people are criminals’ he claimed, speaking to Atlantic Council CEO Frederick Kempe. ‘They’re not bad people. They’re criminals because they have literally cost millions of lives.’
Atlantic Council is a bipartisan U.S. institution prompting ongoing cooperation between North America and Europe. It founded Digital Forensic Research Lab in 2016. And this has since concluded ‘an eerie, tech-enabled future of disinformation’ exists on Facebook despite efforts to disband it.
Therefore, Albert Bourla made his claim malicious disinformation is a COVID killer within a community of like-minded people. Ought we to write this off as politics, or a crude commercial? Surely we are smart enough to distinguish between fact and fiction?
When Malicious Disinformation Became a COVID Killer
Aljazeera published a report on November 9, 2021. This told the story of an unvaccinated British woman who tested positive for COVID while heavily pregnant. Doctors delivered her 14-week premature baby after its movements slowed. Five days later baby Ivy-Rose stopped breathing.
The bereaved mother does not regret refusing the vaccine. Apparently she said, ‘I felt there wasn’t enough research done into the impact of the vaccine during pregnancy. And if it would affect the baby.
‘I can’t start thinking that way, as who knows what might have happened if I had the vaccine. And I might still have got COVID and become ill.’ Now tell us if those false ideas did not come malicious disinformation, then where did she get them from?
