Robert F. Kennedy had dinner with Pfizer CEO as he prepares to become health secretary, report says Pfizer CEO certain that Trump’s administration ‘will be very, very prudent with everything they try to do’.
Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla has revealed that he recently dined with health secretary nominee and vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. – and vaccine talk was apparently not on the menu.
While the exact date of the meeting was not disclosed, Bourla said he and the health secretary nominee chatted civilly, conversing on topics they agreed on rather than straying to more divisive topics like “vaccines”.
Bourla insisted that vaccine-related discussion was not on the cards, and instead, the pair stuck to what they agreed on: “And those are things in chronic diseases, in cardiovascular diseases, and more importantly, in cancer, which is something that is very, very high in the mind of the president.
In the announcement, Bourla stated: “I’m excited for what’s ahead and confident that we will enhance shareholder value as we sharpen our focus to improve the productivity of our R&D pipeline and advance the clear strategic priorities guiding our company in 2025.”.
