The pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, Albert Burla, told the Financial Times today (Saturday) about the decision that Israel will be the first central country to receive the company's vaccines against Corona. Burla referred to former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's involvement in the deal. He thought the move would help him politically. However, he noted that this assumption was wrong in light of the current political situation in Israel

. He called me 30 times and asked, 'What about vaccines for young people, what are you doing about the South African strain?' "

Burla noted that he" sure did it for his people, but I'm also sure he thought to himself: Politically. "But he said," It turned out to be a wrong calculation, I guess, given that Netanyahu lost power. "He stressed:"But he did it very well. "
