Pfizer CEO Bails On EU Testimony After Report Highlights ''Secretive'' Vaccine Deal Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla has bailed on an appointment to testify before the European Parliament''s special committee, where he was expected to face tough questions over secretive vaccine deals , Politico reports. Albert Bourla, the Pfizer chief executive, during a visit last week, at a Pfizer factory in Belgium.Credit…Pool photo by John Thys Bourla was scheduled to appear before the panel on Oct. 10, alongside key officials involved in the EUs vaccine procurement process, in order to discuss how to respond to future pandemics. According to the report, "Other pharmaceutical executives have addressed the committee, including the CEO of Moderna and senior officials from AstraZeneca and Sanofi." Bourla? Not so much. The committee''s chair, Belgian MEP Kathleen Van Brempt, told POLITICO she "deeply regrets" the decision taken by Pfizer. After a visit to BioNTech''s headquarters last week, Van Brempt had said in a written statement that she looked forward to discussions "with other CEOs" including "Mr.
In general, when markets trend lower, it makes sense to invest in blue-chip stocks. They tend to have a low beta and also provide regular cash flows through dividends. Yet, not all blue chips are created equal. Based on macroeconomic or company-specific factors, there are some you want to buy and some blue-chip stocks to sell. For example, blue-chip retailer Target (NYSE: TGT ) sits 45% below its 52-week high, weighed down by inflationary pressures and margin compression. And pharmaceutical giant Pfizer (NYSE: PFE ) is 30% below its high on concerns of a slowdown in growth predominately due to lower Covid-19 vaccine sales. So, investors need to carry out due diligence even with blue chips. Today’s list of blue-chip stocks to sell in October contains popular names that are likely to correct or correct even further.

Israeli Investigators Find COVID-19 Vaccines Cause Side Effects: Leaked Video Authored by Meiling Lee and Zachary Stieber via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), Syringes and vials of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine in Netanya, Israel, on Jan. 5, 2022. (Jack Guez/AFP via Getty Images) Israeli researchers found some side effects that occurred after COVID-19 vaccination were caused by Pfizer’s vaccine, according to a leaked video . The Israeli Ministry of Health (MoH) commissioned researchers to analyze adverse event reports submitted by Israelis and the researchers presented findings from the new surveillance system in an internal June 2022 meeting, video of which was obtained by an Israeli journalist. Researchers said that the phenomenon of rechallenge—when adverse events reoccur or worsen following additional vaccine doses—proved that some of the events were caused by the vaccine. A positive rechallenge was reported in 10 percent of the women who complained of menstrual issues, according to the researchers, who also identified cases of rechallenge for other adverse events.

Americans have two options for getting a new omicron-specific Covid booster shot: Pfizer or Moderna. Which one should you get? Here''s what experts say.
Source: Ruslan Ivantsov / Shutterstock.com Wall Street has officially entered a bear market. Macroeconomic headwinds continue to build, including rampant inflation, slowing economic growth and continued geopolitical turmoil. We now have further uncertainty surrounding the stock market following the most recent interest rate hike. As we enter a bear market, investors are searching for alternative investment paths for diversification. Growth names that were the darlings on Wall Street during the pandemic have not been immune to these challenges so far in the year. Even large-capitalization (cap) shares have come under pressure since January. Year-to-date (YTD), the S&P 500 index has so far dropped over 22.9% year-to-date (YTD), while the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 has declined more than 30.7% during the same period. In the past century, we have had over 25 bear markets on the Street. Most have lasted an average of less than one year. While it may be tempting to sell stocks in the portfolio to minimize losses, panic selling in a bear market often leads to loss of potential profits and even investment capital.
As people acclimatize to the new normal, it’s time to look at some vaccine stocks to sell. Instead of relying primarily on vaccines and antiviral drugs, the government let people manage infections. Once infected with the less fatal strain, Omicron, people would isolate themselves for a few days and then return to work. By shifting away from its reliance on drug companies, investors must recognize there are vaccine stocks that it’s time to sell. The government cut orders for vaccines and antiviral drugs, which already is hurting vaccine stocks. People realized that the vaccine specific to the Delta variant offered minimal protection against the current strains. As Omicron sub-variants emerge, health organizations will evaluate the effectiveness of bivalent vaccines first. Investors should brace for a sharp drop in vaccine and test kit sales. Those are the vaccine stocks to sell. In addition, companies that depend on antiviral sales risk underperforming. Still, their revenue drop is less severe.

Two years ago, I wrote about buying on the dip as an investment strategy for those in the FIRE movement. FIRE stands for Financial Independence, Retire Early, and involves a commitment to both cutting your daily expenses and an accelerated investment strategy. Today, FatFIRE is the “in” retirement concept. FatFIRE takes things a step further. Devotees to this new movement want to be able to “retire with a fat stash” that allows them to live on around $100,000 a year . According to Fortune, FatFIRE split off from FIRE in 2016 when a Reddit user decided cutting his expenses to the bone wasn’t his idea of a good time. And so the subreddit r/fatFIRE was born. Today, it has more than 330,000 members. The downside of FatFIRE is that it’s incredibly unrealistic. Very few people have the skillset to pull it off. Financial planner Dana Menard puts it at around a tenth of the population. If you believe you’re in this cohort, though, here are seven investments to help you with your FatFIRE dreams.

The U.S. government has sent out over 25 million of the updated COVID-19 booster shots, mostly from Pfizer/BioNTech, as production of the Moderna shot continues to ramp up, a federal health agency said Tuesday. Some U.S. pharmacies, including CVS Health and Walgreens Boots Alliance, also reported on Tuesday that government supply of Moderna''s updated shot remains limited, causing appointments for the product to vary across the country. Both CVS and Walgreens said they are working with the government to acquire more Moderna doses and have not seen any supply issues for the Pfizer booster. In August, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized Pfizer''s and Moderna''s updated booster shots that target the dominant BA.4 and BA.5 omicron subvariants, as the country prepares for a broad fall revaccination campaign. According to the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR), retail pharmacies will be receiving millions more doses of Moderna this week and production is ramping up. "We anticipate supply will continue to increase in the coming weeks," an ASPR spokesperson told Reuters.
The idea that anyone could have a problem with Joe Biden’s cancer moonshot is unimaginable. After all, who hasn’t had a friend or relative affected by cancer? My dad died from a combination of prostate and bone cancer. Now, you could argue that, at 81, old age might have done him in, regardless of the disease eating away at his body. But, the reality is that so many die much younger than my dad from various forms of cancer. It is a scourge to longevity everywhere. Biden’s cancer moonshot aims to cuts the death rate from cancer in the U.S. by 50% over the next 25 years while improving the experience of those dealing with cancer. I’m 100% for it. I’m sure the drug companies are, too. Forget the old myth that they don’t want to cure cancer. There is a lot of money to be made by eliminating a virus or disease. Who are the companies developing the best cancer moonshots? Below are three possibilities. MRK Merck & Co $86.02 NVS Novartis $79.58 LLY Eli Lilly $301.69 Merck & Co.

TOKYO (AP) — Asian shares mostly rose Tuesday, after Wall Street closed higher on a late buying spree following recent losses as investors await another interest rate increase by the U.S. Federal Reserve. Markets have been jittery over whether the Fed’s plan to cool the hottest U.S. inflation in four decades might be too aggressive and throw the economy into a recession by pumping the brakes on growth too hard. Japan reported that its consumer inflation jumped in August to 3.0%, its highest level since November 1991 but well below the 8% plus readings in the U.S. Core inflation excluding volatile fresh food prices climbed 2.8%. The Bank of Japan is set to have a two-day monetary policy meeting later this week, although analysts expect the central bank to stick to its easy monetary policy. “Expectations are that easy monetary policies are to remain in the upcoming meeting this week. The BOJ Gov. Haruhiko Kuroda previously mentioned that he wanted to see a ‘stable and sustainable rise’ in both wages and prices before considering any policy shift,” Yeap Jun Rong, a market strategist at IG in Singapore, said in a report.
Fauci, Klain, Yellen, Kendi Headline Pfizer-Funded, Far-Left Conference In D.C. This Week Authored by Raheem J.

Fauci will appear alongside race-baiter Ibram X. Kendi, White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, and more.

This was the ninth straight monthly drop in the index, and came amid a "combination of elevated interest rates, persistent building material supply-chain disruptions and high home prices [that] continue to take a toll on affordability," the report stated.
