The Nobel Prize in Economics Joseph Stiglitz criticized the multinational laboratory Pfizer for “trying to extort” Argentina and other countries in the region “for the administration of the anti-Covid vaccine and treatment.”
He also congratulated President Alberto Fernández “because he made sure people had vaccines despite the extortion that Pfizer tried to do,” during critical moments in the pandemic.
Stiglitz spoke at the 39th session of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), which takes place from today until Wednesday at the Kirchner Cultural Center (CCK).
