The FDA advisory panel that voted 17-0 on Wednesday to recommended Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine for children 5-11, despite acknowledging the lack of safety data and a 99.998% survival rate from infection, included a half-dozen members with ties to the pharmaceutical giant.
Among the members were a former vice president of Pfizer Vaccines, a recent Pfizer consultant, a recent Pfizer research grant recipient, the mentor of a current top Pfizer vaccine executive, the operator of a center that distributes Pfizer vaccines and the chairman of a Pfizer data group, reported the National File.
Dr. Gregg Sylvester, chief medical officer for Seqirus Medical Affairs, previously served as a vice president for Pfizer Vaccines, where he launched Pfizer vaccines, including one for children.
Dr. Archana Chatterjee, dean of the Chicago Medical School, was sponsored by Pfizer for a research project related to vaccines for infants between 2018-2020.
Dr. James Hildreth, president and chief executive officer of Meharry Medical College, disclosed he has more than $1.5 million in relevant financial interests, including his work as president of Meharry Medical College, which administers Pfizer Coronavirus vaccines.
Dr. Geeta K. Swamy, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Duke University, is chairman of the Independent Data Monitoring Committee for the Pfizer Group B Streptococcus Vaccine Program, a committee sponsored by Pfizer.
According to Duke, Swamy serves as a co-investigator for the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine trial.
