- Drug giant Pfizer says its top-level “Breakthrough Fellowship Program” that prohibits whites and Asians from applying is a “Bold Move” that promotes “a more inclusive workplace,” and will have Pfizer led by “a new generation” of minority fellows by 2025.
- “One of Pfizer’s Bold Moves is to create a workplace for all, and we are committed to increasing diversity by fostering a more inclusive workplace,” says Pfizer, one of the Big Pharma companies at the center of the controversial COVID-19 vaccines.
- The “requirements” for application for the fellowship include U.S. citizenship or U.S. permanent residency, at least a 3.0-grade point average (GPA), and “meet the program’s goals of increasing the pipeline for Black/African American, Latino/Hispanic, and Native Americans.”
- Commissioner Peter Kirsanow, a member of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, told The Star News Network the Pfizer policy is blatantly illegal.
- “We’ve seen a significant proliferation of this kind of woke idiocy among major institutions over the last several years. Race discrimination in employment remains unequivocally unlawful, yet leadership at many major institutions seem to think this form of what used to be called “reverse discrimination” is a virtue signal to their fellow elites.”
