U.S. lawmakers on a House panel have requested information from Pfizer Inc. regarding alleged comments by a former executive. These comments suggested that Pfizer's research executives intentionally delayed the clinical trial results of its COVID-19 vaccine to influence the 2020 presidential election.
This request indicates an escalation of the federal probe into the timing of the vaccine announcement. The allegations, if substantiated, could expose Pfizer to significant legal and reputational consequences.
The House panel's inquiry adds to the scrutiny Pfizer faces regarding its COVID-19 vaccine development and communication during the pandemic. The company is expected to cooperate with the lawmakers' request for information.
