The claim
Various articles claim that Pfizer's deputy CEO has been arrested on multiple fraud charges.
Our conclusion
All articles and tweets all refer to one source, which points out at the beginning and in other places that it is a satirical article.
There was already an alleged scandal surrounding Pfizer in December 2021, but it was only discussed by relevant parties: Apparently there were 1,223 deaths from the vaccination in the first three months after the Pfizer vaccine was approved. However, the number was only reported suspected cases in which there was no connection to the vaccination (the colleagues at Correctiv reported on this ); such so-called spontaneous reports also include, for example, deaths from car accidents after a vaccination.
One side is now adding to this and claiming that the deputy managing director of Pfizer has now been arrested because of this - and the report is believed unreservedly in relevant circles.
However, the article was clearly marked as satire.
The claim
Vancouver Times article is shared by relevant accounts partly as a link and partly as a screenshot (which hides the most important feature):
Accordingly, Rady Johnson, the deputy CEO of Pfizer, was arrested at his home and charged by US federal officials with several counts of fraud. Also (according to themselves the most trustworthy news site for West Africa) the news site “ABTC” (archived HERE ), the tabloid site “Show Biz Cast” (archived HERE ) and other sites report on it, which upon quick Google gives the impression that many sites are reporting on it and therefore it must be true.
But all the reporting sites and tweets always refer to a single source, some of them even included the above tweets in the articles, but didn't bother to take a single look at the source: a satirical site!
Really not hard to see: it's satire!
It's really enough to just click on the page or google the article, it's not rocket science:

But even if this note is overlooked, it also says again under the article:
„This is a satirical article. Health officials in Canada consider vaccines to be safe and effective . For the latest news on Pfizer, go here . “
And in the “ About Us ” section of the site there is another note: “ The Vancouver Times is the most reliable source for satire on the West Coast. We write satirical stories about issues that concern conservatives .”
So it takes a fair amount of media incompetence to overlook all references to a satirical article... or simply the desire to tell followers and readers a lie that gets a decent amount of likes and shares.
