Pfizer CEO Backs Trump's CDC Pick After Vaccine Policy Upheaval
Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) chief executive Albert Bourla has signaled a possible shift in tone around US vaccine policy, praising President Donald Trump's latest nominee to lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention after a turbulent year for the agency. In a Bloomberg TV interview Tuesday, Bourla called Erica Schwartz a very credible scientist, pointing to what could be a more conventional choice for the country's top public health role. Schwartz, who holds both medical and law degrees and previously served as deputy surgeon general during the first Trump administration, is now being viewed as a figure who could help stabilize an agency that has become increasingly important for vaccine makers.
