Pfizer's chief executive sought to assure the drug maker’s employees Thursday that their experimental COVID-19 vaccine wouldn’t be influenced by politics, two days after President Trump mentioned the company during the debate.

Chief Executive Albert Bourla sent a letter to all employees saying Pfizer “would never succumb to political pressure” as it develops a COVID-19 vaccine.
