Our verdict
This is not true. She is alive and well.
The wife of the Pfizer CEO did not die from its vaccine
24 November 2021
Screenshots of an article being shared on Facebook claim that the wife of the CEO of Pfizer has died of complications from the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine. This is not true.
A spokesperson for Pfizer told the Associated Press that Myriam Bourla, the wife of Albert Bourla, was “alive and well”.
The screenshot claims that Ms Bourla died on the morning of 10 November—yet Mr Bourla shared a photograph of her at an awards ceremony in the evening of that day, where he received an award.
We’ve written before about how Mr Bourla has been a subject of misinformation during the pandemic.
