Social media is abuzz with rumours that Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla has been arrested on November 5 by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for multiple counts of fraud.

This rumor appears to have originated with an article published on the website Conservative Beaver. The website in it’s article claimed that Albert Bourla  had been arrested and police had ordered a “media blackout” on the arrest. Fact Check: 500 Tonnes of Somali Bananas Arrive in Abu Dhabi's Market Contain 'Helicobacter' Worm?

Numerous social media accounts began circulating this news

 

 

Well Here is the truth – Pfizer CEO has NOT been arrested by the FBI. Neither was he charged with multiple counts of fraud.

On the same day that the article was published, Bourla made multiple television appearances, talking about a new pill Pfizer has developed. Moreover, the reason that the mainstream media didn’t cover the story is because the Pfizer CEO was not arrested at all as claimed.

The Conservative Beaver is a news website that is known for creating fake news to generate views on its website. This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS about the Pfizer vaccine that was created by a fake news website to generate page views and money from gullible people.
