Pfizer Exec. Admits Vaccines Were Not Tested for Preventing COVID Transmission

In a European Union hearing, a Pfizer executive admitted that the Pfizer vaccines were not tested for preventing COVID transmission before the vaccine rollout.

Janine Small, Pfizer’s President of International Developed Markets was questions by European Parliament Minister Rob Roos in a special COVID committee of the European Parliament on October 10, 2022.

“Was the Pfizer COVID vaccine tested on stopping the transmission of the virus before it entered the market? If not, please say it clearly. If yes, please share the data with this committee. And I really want a straight answer,” Roos asked of Small in the hearing.

“No,” Small said in response. “We had to really move at the speed of science to really understand what is taking place in the market. And from that point of view, we had to do everything at risk.”

In an interview with GBN News anchor Mark Steyn, Roos says that this is the first time that a high-level pharmaceutical executive openly admitted that the vaccines were not tested against transmission before they were mandated to the public.

“It was an important question. I asked this question also to AstraZeneca and Moderna,” Roos said in the interview, “they didn’t give me an answer. But Pfizer was very clear.”

Roos goes on to say that this is an important development, especially considering that many governments throughout the world enforced vaccine mandates and so-called COVID-passports.

“There were people who weren’t able to work, who lost their jobs, who lost their businesses, families were divided,” Roos said.

According to Pfizer’s website, as of September 2022, more than 3.7 billion vaccines have been shipped to 180 countries.
