that Pfizer’s CEO is not going to vaccinate himself:

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/14/pfiz...t-in-line.html

Add to that another fact that he dumped his shares right before vaccine was announced.

Wonderful, just wonderful vaccine.

Meanwhile, Russia started mass vaccination with their vaccine, which gives 2 year protection vs 6 months of Pfizer's one. Oh, those bad Russians, how dare they!

He says he "doesn't want to cut in line", which is the respectable thing to do.

Right. Because Russia is internationally known for their health care.

do people not bother to actually read the links they post or do they assume no one else will?

While Bourla’s company developed the vaccine, he is not a frontline health-care worker himself. He said he’s also 59 and in relatively good health, so it’s not entirely appropriate for him to receive the vaccine before other people who need it more. If he was vaccinated on camera, he said it might help increase the public’s willingness to receive it, citing Pfizer’s internal research. But he emphasized that “none of the executives and board members will cut the line.”

Yeah, right. Out of millions of doses CEO of the company that develops them can't get even one because he cares so much for others. Yes, truly believable. Just like Santa Claus, unicorns and a such.

are you so blind that you don't see that he would be pilloried for taking one out of turn? That is reality - even Trump was shamed into walking back the idea that White House staffers could jump the queue

Sure, the Pfizer guy could probably try to sneak one and maybe get away with it but he would still be saying he's not getting one early, exactly as he did

Maybe he's had it, already. I have, so I don't plan to get a vaccine.

Believe it or not many people do have empathy.

Oh, I guess I won't get it then. Must be spiked with some brain control juice, carcinogens, arsenic, cholera, and whatnot

WTF?

Think about that sentence. Think about what they have to be researching, to be able to make that claim.

Pretty creepy, and I'm not entirely sure it's appropriate for them to be doing it.
