"Pfizer's Covid Social Media Posts Tarnish Pharmaceutical Industry's Reputation"

Pfizer has been accused by the UK’s pharmaceutical watchdog of breaching the regulatory code five times, including using social media to promote an unlicensed Covid vaccine and making misleading claims. The company has been reprimanded for similar offenses in the past, and was charged administrative costs of £34,800 for the most recent breaches. Pfizer has accepted the ruling and launched a review into its employees’ use of social media platforms to ensure compliance with their own rules and the regulatory code.
