Pfizer’s chief executive Albert Bourla decamped with his top management team to Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort for an off-site meeting, in the latest attempt by corporate America to ingratiate itself with the US president-elect.
Bourla arrived with several members of his executive leadership in Palm Beach, Florida, on Monday evening, according to flight records and two people familiar with the matter.
Pfizer’s executive team was using Mar-a-Lago for a planning meeting over several days, the people said. While there was no scheduled meeting between Bourla and Trump, the pair were likely to interact and the choice of venue was another example of outreach from the pharmaceutical industry to Trump, a person familiar with the meeting said.
Pharma executives have been bracing for the appointment of vaccine sceptic and former independent presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr and his allies to run the US health department and its powerful agencies, such as the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Bourla, who worked closely with the Trump administration on the development of a Covid-19 vaccine, has been leading the charge to cosy up to the president-elect.
He met Trump at Mar-a-Lago in the run-up to November’s election, and then was instrumental in organising a December dinner with Trump, Kennedy, Eli Lilly chief executive David Ricks and Stephen Ubl, the head of PhRMA, the industry lobbying group, the people said.

Bourla = Vile, globalist, WEF-slurping filth. Kennedy’s going to dismantle him and his fellow filth in the pharma cabal.

All the free Viagra samples in the world would not get Mr. Trump to sign off on a plan that is not in America’s best interest.
Fellas, you better be bringing something really good for the country.
