Pfizer CEO says the company is on track to manufacture 1.3 billion Covid-19 vaccine doses globally next year

With about 50 million doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine coming this year and about 1.3 billion slated to be manufactured next year, Pfizer is working to meet US demands for more doses, company CEO Albert Bourla said Monday.

His interview comes after a weekend in which the vaccine cleared its final hurdle for US emergency use -- being approved for people 16 and older -- and as hundreds of thousands of vials are loaded on trucks for delivery to all 50 states.

V-DAY 🙏 thank GOD our wonderful heroes/medical workers/scientist/doctors & nurses. Thanks VP Pence for an amazing job WARP SPD. A BIG THANK YOU to our CDR and CHF, OUR BLESSED PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP. FOR PUSHING hard making this vaccine a reality. Re-write the history books.

There ego and getting help to do something wrong gets the JEWS every time if they convince people by lawless talking that all of us should doe.

It's a cash cow.

Hope Pfizer vaccine can work like what they said but the storage is really too strict as -70 Celsius.

rushed big pharma product in a corporate controlled FDA should be 'suspect' by definition. I'll wait and see a while before getting it. I have a feeling there will be complications and deaths.

Chinese are working hard to get you more doses of vaccines.

I feel that when you take this injecrion you are going to die if you are my family members which I would not be at all surprised is 1 and 1/2 billion people throughout the world....

They look like they are bringing a secret weapon

That is awesome. There are around 7 billion people on earth. Need 14 billion doses between all of the vaccines, assuming they all need 2 shots for effectiveness.

Are you feeling that lucky that all of those people can die by what amounts to a lethal injection and the world can still exist without its leadership?

Am I the only one thinking it’s not the best idea to tell people where the vaccines are & where they are going? People have some crazy ideas right now... 🤔

thanks for this news

I only pray it works out for everybody n us too in Africa Ghana n beyond

OK I’m not sure why the name Pfizer Pfizer sounds a little bit wiser than me And I also I’m not really sure why I am not here and he tells me that I am theeee crazy you and not a slim Jim

marionbiss Are you interested in making extra income from home or your working place with your mobile phone or PC It wouldn't be a bad idea to have a second source of income Right?

Ok. Our world population is 5 and 1/2 billion. But if it is the most intelligent people me being murdered by letha injection could the other 4 billion people continue to exist without these? Can we really take a chance on it? Feeling lucky?

Is there a system on place to prove that we have gotten the vaccine? Are the anti-vaxxers going to be afforded the same access to the public as everyone else?
