This fills our hearts with pride… As Moses led our people out of bondage, these scientists are going to lead the world out of the pandemic.
Mikael Dolsten, Chief Scientific Officer at Pfizer, is Jewish. He grew up in Halmstad, Sweden, the son of a Jewish father with prewar roots in Sweden and a Jewish mother who escaped Austria in the early days of WWII. He visited Israel several times as a youngster and did a year of his doctoral work at the Weizmann Institute. There he learned cutting edge immunology which led him to pharmaceutical science. Dolsten has referred in interviews to rising anti-Semitism in Sweden.
Pfizer CEO Albert Borla is a Sephardic Jew from Thessalonika, Greece, a city whose Jewish population was almost completely wiped out during WWII. The Borla family’s history in Thessalonika goes back 5 centuries, and Borla visits his remaining family members there yearly. He now lives in New York City.

The scientist responsible, with a colleague, for the pioneering breakthroughs that allowed the development of an mRNA vaccine (the novel approach used by Moderna and Pfizer for dealing with COVID-19) is University of Pennsylvania’s Drew Weissman. A Professor of Medicine at Penn, he received his BA and MA degrees at Brandeis and MD/Microbiology and PhD at Boston U. Weissman once worked with a fellowship at the NIH under Dr. Fauci.
Final related notes: 
President-Elect Joe Biden this week named his new head for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”): Dr. Rochelle Walensky, Professor Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Chief of Infectious Diseases at Massachusetts General Hospital. She works as a physician at a Jewish camp for a week each summer.
Also in the clan is Jeff Zients, who will be Biden’s overseer for the entire federal coronavirus response. Zients led the successful effort to fix the government’s Health.gov website when it became damaged during the launch of the Affordable Care Act.

This list should be printed in Arabic and given to every Palestinian when they receive their vaccine. They should know who are saving their lives. Perhaps they will understand that their real oppressors are their wealthy leaders.
