evidence: CLAIM: The CEO of Pfizer was arrested Friday by FBI agents, charged with fraud and was being held in federal custody while awaiting a bail hearing. AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla has not been arrested by federal agents nor has he been charged with fraud. A spokesperson for the company told The Associated Press the allegations are false. Further, Bourla is not listed in federal or local inmate rosters and a search of federal court records did not turn up any fraud cases against him. Bourla has remained active on social media and has made multiple TV appearances over the past several days. THE FACTS: A conservative blog published an inaccurate article Friday alleging the CEO of the pharmaceutical company Pfizer had been arrested at his home in a suburb of New York City and charged with fraud in connection with the company’s COVID-19 vaccine.
