Claim: Video of Pfizer CEO saying that he wants to reduce world population by half by 2023.
Fact-check: Edited video shared as Pfizer CEO stating that his goal is to reduce world population by half - FACTLY
Verdict: the viral video had been edited from an original video where pfizer ceo spoke about his team's dream of reducing the number of people who cannot afford their medicines. in the viral video, the words, "that cannot afford our medicines" have been cut out. recently, pfizer had launched an initiative named 'an accord for a healthier world' to provide patent-protected medicines to 45 lower-income countries. pfizer ceo also revealed this in his conversation at the world economic forum in davos. in the conversation, pfizer ceo spoke about one of his dreams of reducing the number of people who cannot afford the medicines by 50%, by 2023, which he thinks is going to be a reality. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
