All pharmaceutical companies face financial risk every time they offer a new product.You probably should have researched that before making such a statement. Pfizer has a long list of bad drugs and has received several warnings from the FDA for violations. It even had to pay $2.3 billion, the largest health care fraud settlement in the history of the Department of Justice, to resolve criminal and civil liability arising from the illegal promotion of certain pharmaceutical products.
“”Eli Lilly pleaded guilty to two criminal misdemeanors, paid more than $2.7 billion in fines and damages, settled more than 32,000 personal injury claims — and copped to one of the largest state consumer protection cases involving a drug company in U.S. history, a review by iWatch News shows.”
The Pfizer vaccine for Covid will be sold around the world for immunization of 1 or 2 billion people, maybe more, a risk no drug maker would take with a questionable product. The company would be wiped out for being irresponsible on a world-wide scale.
