According to the news, Pfizer strongly denied that it had "secretly slandered AstraZeneca vaccine", claiming that the statements about AstraZeneca were put forward by a third party, but were "wrongly attributed to Pfizer".
Pfizer spokesman told the daily mail, "we refute any claims that Pfizer is trying to sabotage the scientific efforts of others." our priority is to provide high-quality, well tolerated and effective vaccines for patients around the world as soon as possible and help end this deadly COVID-19.
With regard to the "funding event", a Pfizer spokesman explained that after Pfizer vaccine was officially approved by the Canadian government last year, Pfizer funded a third-party organization in Canada. Their independent scientific committee developed an education project on popular science new crown vaccine, so there was the above expert speech.
The spokesman specially stressed that Pfizer did so because it "complied with the requests of many Canadian health experts".
Another important content of the channel 4 survey documentary is that it points out that the manufacturing cost of Pfizer vaccine is only 76 pence (about 6.43 yuan) per dose, while the price it sells to the UK is 22 pounds per dose (about 186 yuan), with a price increase of nearly 3000%.
A Pfizer spokesman said that such an estimate was "inaccurate" and did not consider clinical research, large-scale production costs and global distribution costs.
The daily mail began to "boast" about Britain's AstraZeneca vaccine. It is reported that AstraZeneca produces vaccines at cost price, and the price of each dose is only 3.6 pounds (about 30.44 yuan), which has lost nearly 21 billion pounds of revenue. The World Health Organization also calls AstraZeneca the "world vaccine" because it is sold at cost.
However, the report also "lamented", because AstraZeneca vaccine has side effects that may lead to thrombosis, and its effect as a booster needle is general, so recently Pfizer vaccine in the United States has been in a leading position in the British and European markets.
At present, Britain has ordered 180 million doses of Pfizer vaccine, almost twice that of AstraZeneca vaccine. In addition, the British government has donated about half of the AstraZeneca vaccine produced.
The vaccines ordered in the EU are Pfizer with more than 400 million doses in green, AstraZeneca with less than 100 million doses in pink and Modena in brown, as shown in our world in data.
