When asked to participate in the trial or lose 1.4 billion customers, they chose to lose the customers.
Most maintstream media is silent on this.
Pfizer has withdrawn an application for emergency-use authorization of its Covid-19 vaccine in India that it has developed with Germany’s BioNTech, the company told Reuters on Friday.
The U.S. company, which was the first drugmaker to apply for emergency use authorization of its Covid-19 vaccine in India, had a meeting with the country’s drugs regulator on Wednesday and the decision was made after that, the company said.
“Based on the deliberations at the meeting and our understanding of additional information that the regulator may need, the company has decided to withdraw its application at this time,” it said in a statement to Reuters.
“Pfizer will continue to engage with the authority and re-submit its approval request with additional information as it becomes available in the near future.”
The Indian govt was happy to give Pfizer access to its 1.4 billion person market. All they had to do was perform a local double blind placebo controlled trial to prove safety.

Never forget how KCR himself admitted that his govt lobbied hard for #Pfizer vaccines in India but PM #Modiji didn't succumb & stalled Pfizer!
Why was KCR batting for Pfizer even after international uproar?
Was he lobbying for Pfizer for financial gain and does money hold more… pic.twitter.com/XDnMLQS8yj
