From The Jerusalem Post:
Pfizer CEO's Israel visit cancelled because he is unvaccinated
Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla has cancelled his expected visit to Israel, after it turned out he was not vaccinated against coronavirus, N12 reported Friday.
The report noted that Bourla, as well as members of the delegation that was meant to accompany him during his visit, have not received the second dose of the vaccine.
As a result, it was decided to delay the visit by several days, which also posed a logistic challenge because of the upcoming Israeli elections.
Bourla said in December that he has not yet received the vaccine yet because he does not want to "cut in line," and would wait until his age group is next in line for getting vaccinated. As such, he has received the first dose, but not the second one yet.
Not a matter of cutting in line. He should have been one of the first - right up there with the scientists and lab rats who made the vaccine initially.
There is a long standing tradition in the tech world - you use your own product well before it is released as a product to the general public. It is called "eating your own dog food".
