Dear Albert,
You might recall that I wrote earlier this year with concerns about how your products threatened my mother’s health. Despite getting your COVID vaccine and boosters, and then taking PAXLOVID when she had the virus, my mom is alive and well. However, she is somewhat more suspicious of your company’s motives and methods.
Since I last corresponded you also had an employee slip up and reveal that you might be directing evolution to ensure you can keep selling vaccines. Somehow you’ve gotten away without further scrutiny, although when a U.S. Senator wrote to Pfizer with questions about gain of function, it must have given you a few gray hairs.
It is just amazing how many revelations there are about your company with no apparent consequences.
I no longer wonder why my mom and millions of others believed that it was necessary to take your vaccine and subsequent boosters. Not that it wasn’t somewhat obvious, but now we know exactly how you spent your money on propaganda. As you are well aware, it had to do with funds leveraged to influence decision-makers, and subsequently the media.
In reviewing an analysis of Pfizer’s influence-buying budget, I was shocked to see financial details that clarify exactly how your COVID vaccine was marketed so effectively. You don’t even hide that you spent about $26 million in lobbying during the pandemic — with the lion’s share of going to and through former U.S. government employees. That’s about a quarter million a week just to guarantee Washington’s cooperation.
I have no doubt there are other nefarious influences and explanations, however, this is undoubtedly a key factor in why everyone was saying the vaccines were safe and effective. You must be very proud of your success.
Of course, this money is separate from the millions of dollars you give to political campaigns. And I have no idea how much you spent on your pharmaceutical reps who pushed your vaccines on doctors’ offices and clinics, but that’s another story.
There is no doubt the millions of dollars in lobbying account for the single greatest reason you got such absolute support for your COVID vaccine and boosters. You must have thought this was money well applied when all those in Washington kept the pressure up for vaccination. And this budget not only greased the wheels for vaccine sales but at the same time, it guaranteed that Medicare wasn’t going to lower drug prices. It should be very satisfying to know that the cost of prescription drugs in the U.S. is triple the price in comparison to the rest of the world. All of Pfizer’s profit streams certainly justify your lobbying budget over the last few years.
I just don’t understand how you get away with it.
You’d think this kind of spending would raise some serious questions in Washington. Aren’t these just bribes? Isn’t it illegal to influence politicians with cash? Do senators and congressmen who get money from you agree to support legislation favoring your policies and drug sales?
I can imagine that the information that is available to the public reveals just a fraction of what you spend to make sure things go your way. You pay those former government employees quite a bit. It must be because they used to work for the FDA and CDC, and they can get back inside easier than anyone else.
Once they are sitting in front of the people in government making decisions, what do they say? Is it only cash or do they promise well-paying jobs at Pfizer?
I’d like to know what exactly they offer to their old friends. Where do the dollars spent on lobbying actually go? Are some bureaucrats paid to look away and not ask questions? Do you get away with selling ineffective and dangerous vaccines because those who could get in the way of your sales efforts are simply paid off?
Another thing I wonder about is if members of congress or administrators know just how deadly your vaccine is. Could it be they haven’t heard about blood clots and myocarditis? It doesn’t really matter if they know or not, either way, they are complicit in murder.
How much does someone get for ignoring the incredible risks of your vaccines? I realize that millions can buy a lot of golf trips, but we know they are getting more than that to betray their duty to the people and the constitution. Those briefcases stuffed with cash must be very tempting.
You can tell I assume millions more of your money was spent lining pockets — and it won’t be found in any public records. And I suppose those politicians are willing to compromise their ethical values because of very special guarantees and perks from Pfizer.
I give them too much credit, we both know they don’t have any ethical values.
And you know what? We don’t need any more details — or to ask more questions. It’s obvious that almost everyone who supported the vaccine was happy to take your dirty money. The details of your bribery in another place and time would have gotten you tarred and feathered.
You must sometimes think to yourself, “I’ve managed to pay everyone off and scam the world — I only need to count the money I made.”
But I wonder how much longer this deception will last. I’ll just say in closing that I have a feeling you will not get away with this. Too many people know too much about you and your company. And you will pay for your crimes.

Excellent letter! Please share his reply 🤡
I disagree. I think the man ought to be richly rewarded for his humanitarian work. He's a hero! A monthly administration of his own injection - for life - would be a fitting reward for his ceaseless labours! I would be happy to pay for it all myself - and hand-select the vials - so as not to deprive his company of the much-needed profit so he can be sure to inject the whole world! Stop holding back now, dear Pharma-Saviour! No-one should be deprived of regular doses of safe and effective prophylactics against world-ending colds. You have been so valiant holding-back from benefitting from the fruits of your labours! Your martyrdom can now come to an end! Yes, we know Africa is still needing them, but you've been enough of a hero now, Saviour Bourla! The world needs you safe and effectively alive so that you can bring out the next wave of infections - I mean, injections - for us all! Please, please roll up your sleeve! Do it for you!
