Pfizer Q2 results: CEO will never wash the stain of inequity from Pfizer’s reputation, campaigners say
Responding to Pfizer’s Q2 results, Mohga Kamal-Yanni, policy co-lead for the People’s Vaccine Alliance, said:
“Millions of people in low and middle-income countries faced death and devastation without access to vaccines while Pfizer sold doses to the highest bidders. Now we’re seeing the same inequality in access to lifesaving COVID-19 treatments like Paxlovid. Pizer’s CEO can make all the half-hearted equity pledges he wants, but he will never wash that stain from his company’s reputation.
“World leaders have repeatedly said that we must learn the lessons of this pandemic to better respond to future health crises. The one key lesson is that leaders cannot leave decisions on supply, allocation and price to pharmaceutical companies. Companies like Pfizer will always put high profit before lives.The world needs to build a fairer system of creating and distributing medical technologies before the next pandemic, or risk repeating the mistakes of COVID-19.”
