Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla explains why he hasn’t taken COVID-19 vaccine yet

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said Monday he hasn’t taken the COVID-19 vaccine yet — but only because he doesn’t want to be seen as jumping the line.

“I haven’t taken it yet and we are having an ethical committee dealing with the question of who is getting it,” Bourla told CNN’s chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta.

Bourla noted that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has agreed that front-line health care workers and nursing home residents and staff should be prioritized.

“Given that there are very strict allocation rules that the CDC has voted [on], we are very sensitive not to cut the queue and get vaccinated before,” Bourla said.

But he hasn’t ruled out getting the shot soon if it’ll improve confidence in the vaccine.

  1. That is BS, The CDC is a private corporation and has nothing to do with the govt, except it gets funding from them! You are a private company as well, and the only reason why your not getting it yet is because you want to wait like most smart people and see what side affects there are even though you already know what they are! One shot out of millions is not going to make a God damn difference! So your argument is mute! Good try, social warrior!
