The real story here is not so much WHAT he said, which we all knew or strongly suspected anyway, but the fact of WHO was saying it, bragging about his apparent role as a senior employee at Pfizer - which appears to be genuine. Now we know how Pfizer has been able to do what it does - by employing an army of easily manipulated, amoral, hyper-egotistical, money-driven, borderline clinically insane narcissists. This is exactly the model used so successfully by the banking industry.

I don’t know about pharmaceutical companies but I work for a global consultancy company (and before that a big telco) and I can tell you there are some not very bright people at surprisingly senior levels of corporations - although in most good companies they don’t last long - some get promoted! I mean does Albert Bourla look like a smart guy to you?
