Pharmaceutical RAcIST company who made HUGE PROFITS ON experimental C19 vaccines Pfizer has drawn backlash over its ‘Breakthrough Fellowship’ program, which only accepts students of black/African, Latino/Hispanic, and Native American descent, barring white and Asian students from even applying.

In a Tuesday article published by the Washington Free Beacon, a number of civil rights lawyers stated that Pfizer’s fellowship program was “flagrantly illegal” and a clear violation of the Civil Rights acts of 1866 and 1964, which ban racial discrimination in employment and contracting.

Announced on the company’s website, the nine-year program says it offers college students multiple internships and a fully-funded master’s degree, as well as several years of employment at the pharmaceutical giant. Pfizer says it plans to “develop” 100 fellows by 2025 through the program, which it claims aims to “increase diversity by fostering a more inclusive workplace” and cultivating a “pipeline of diverse talent.”

However, lawyers quoted by the Washington Free Beacon say the fact that white and Asian students are barred from applying to the fellowship is blatant discrimination and is a “clear case of liability” under federal law.

“This Pfizer program is so flagrantly illegal I seriously wonder how it passed internal review by its general counsel,” Adam Mortara, one of the country’s top civil rights attorneys, told the outlet.
