Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla Slams RFK Jr. Vaccine Agenda as Having 'Zero Scientific Merit'
Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla has publicly slammed RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine agenda at the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference, calling it political and devoid of scientific merit.
The silence of the pharmaceutical giants is over. On January 16, 2026, as the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference wrapped up in San Francisco, top industry executives reached a breaking point regarding Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s aggressive anti-vaccine policies.
Industry Leaders Denounce RFK Jr. Vaccine Agenda
According to reporting from Bloomberg, leaders who had previously tread carefully to avoid clashing with the Trump administration are now speaking out. Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla delivered some of the most scathing remarks to date, expressing deep frustration over the current direction of national health policy.
I am very annoyed. I'm very disappointed. I'm seriously frustrated. What is happening has zero scientific merit and is just serving an agenda which is political, and then antivax.
Bourla's comments reflect a broader sentiment across the pharmaceutical sector. Executives are concerned that prioritizing political narratives over established science will undermine public trust and jeopardize years of progress in immunology and preventive medicine.
