From my in-Box today on one of many criminal enterprises [ Pfizer Inc. *]
Pfizer Falters
Pfizer, one of the developers of the Covid vaccine, was one of the market’s favorite stocks in 2021. From its March 2020 lows to its 2021 peak, the stock appreciated nearly fivefold. Since then, it has been consistently falling. It now resides below the 2020 trough and at levels last seen ten years ago. So what went wrong?For starters, demand for the vaccine is down sharply. It is estimated, per the CDC, that only 17% of people over the age of 18 have taken the latest booster shot. For 2024, the company estimates $8 billion in vaccine and Paxlovid sales. Consider that in 2022, the two products generated over $100 billion in sales. The second chart below, courtesy of the WSJ, shows vaccine sales have fallen off a cliff.
Pfizer executives made a bad bet. They grossly overestimated the profit potential of the vaccine and Paxlovid. Therefore, research toward new and existing drugs with future revenue potential was underfunded. Consequently, the company is on a $3.5 billion cost-cutting effort, including layoffs and reduced research investments.

Zelensky Pleads for Support, Putin Gains Momentum, from 2 hours ago by Dow Jones
2 hours ago by Dow Jones
By Matthew Luxmoore and Ian Lovett
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spent this week pleading for help. He jetted from Argentina to Washington to Norway, petitioning Western officials to get stalled aid packages over the line—so far without success.
Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin vowed to press on with his invasion of Ukraine, trumpeting his country’s economic resilience against Western sanctions aimed at destroying its ability to fight.
“There will be peace when we achieve our goals,” Putin said during a four-hour press conference on Thursday. “As for the goals, they are unchanged.”
Nearly two years into the war, Putin’s gamble that Russia can outlast Kyiv’s Western backers appears to be paying off.
Ukraine’s summer counteroffensive failed to achieve a breakthrough. A battlefield stalemate has set in, and Western leaders who last year promised to support Kyiv as long as necessary are now struggling to muster the votes to supply more arms.
The European Union on Thursday agreed to start membership talks with Ukraine in a major political victory for Zelensky, but the negotiations will take years and it is unclear when they will start. The bloc failed to agree on a long-term package of budget support for the country.
In the U.S., a $110 billion aid package failed to pass Congress last week, while Hungary on Thursday blocked an EU package for Ukraine worth more than $50 billion. Ukrainian forces, which are heavily dependent on Western arms, are now running low on ammunition.
Russia’s military, bolstered by 300,000 mobilized troops, has held the line in Ukraine’s south and east and thwarted Kyiv’s attempts to use sophisticated Western weapons to smash through its defensive lines.
Without a continued supply of weapons from the West, Kyiv has little chance of retaking the 20% of its territory currently occupied by Russian forces, and could struggle to prevent Moscow seizing more ground.
“They’re getting everything as freebies,” Putin said of Ukraine at the annual press conference, cracking jokes as he fielded questions from reporters and ordinary Russians. “But these freebies can run out at some point, and it looks like they’re already starting to run out.”
Unencumbered by free elections—Russia’s main opposition leader, Alexei Navalny, is in prison serving sentences amounting to more than 30 years—Putin has framed the war in Ukraine as an existential struggle against the West.
He has placed Russia’s economy on a war footing. Military spending has fueled much of its economic growth and helped it weather the impact of Western sanctions. Next year, Putin’s government plans to raise military spending by more than two-thirds to a post-Soviet record of over $100 billion, according to data from Russia’s Ministry of Finance.
“He’s turned the tide, in his view,” said Fiona Hill, a former National Security Council official and presidential adviser on Russia. “He didn’t win in the early bouts of the tournament but now he’s turning it and his opponents are being intimidated and weakened.”
Hill described the current moment, with deadlock in the U.S. over aid to Ukraine and Putin emboldened by the West’s reluctance to shore up a key ally, as “a critical decision point not just for Ukraine and Russia but for America’s role in the world.”
Since Ukraine’s failed counteroffensive, questions in Western capitals about how long they can keep funding Ukraine have grown louder.
In Washington this week, Zelensky met with President Biden, as well as Congressional leaders from both parties. But he left empty-handed. The U.S. has thus far provided about half of all military aid to Ukraine, but Republicans insist that any additional aid must be paired with increased funding for security at the U.S. border.
“He’s trying to make up through his negotiating skills for what he didn’t achieve on the battlefield, which is where I think this is being determined,” said Paul Bracken, a political-science professor at Yale University. He said he believed the U.S. would continue to fund Ukraine, but that additional aid packages would be politically challenging, “with presidents fighting with Congress about the amount of money.”
Zelensky’s reception was a stark reversal from a year earlier, when he arrived in Washington to a hero’s welcome and received standing ovations from both parties’ lawmakers. Bolstered by Western arms, Ukraine had taken back half the territory occupied by Russia since its full-scale invasion. An influx of Western armored vehicles in the spring fueled hopes on both sides of the Atlantic that Ukraine would dislodge the Russians.
Even after the counteroffensive stalled, Zelensky has largely continued with his upbeat message, casting Ukraine as a democratic bulwark against a wider Russian threat and insisting that his troops can reclaim all the territory Moscow has gained.
“Europe won’t see any benefit if Moscow receives a pass from Brussels in the form of negativity towards Ukraine,” Zelensky said to EU leaders on Thursday. “Putin will surely use this against you.”
Still, he and his aides are increasingly acknowledging the dire situation they will find themselves in if the flow of aid from the West were cut off. If the U.S. and EU couldn’t approve more funding, he said in Oslo this week, Ukraine might be forced to fight more like it did at the start of the war, when Russian forces claimed thousands of square miles of territory and reached the outskirts of the capital.
“You can’t win without help,” Zelensky said on Wednesday.
Even if the West is able to continue funding Ukraine and supplying it with weapons, military analysts question whether Ukraine will have the resources to overcome Russia’s formidable defenses, which were built up early this year while Ukrainian troops were training to used Western tanks. Manpower is also an issue, with Ukraine struggling to mobilize personnel to bolster its military.
In Ukraine, Zelensky has thus far resisted mass conscription. Protests have begun in Kyiv, with wives complaining that their loved ones have spent two years at the front and deserve a break.
Though Russia has suffered heavy losses, with U.S. estimates saying that 315,000 Russian troops have been killed or injured since Putin launched his invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Russia’s population is more than three times the size of Ukraine’s. And Moscow has been steadily adding new troops.
Some 300,000 Russian men were mobilized last year, helping make up for the high rate of casualties in the Russian military. Thousands of prisoners were also recruited to join the army this year.
Any new wave of mobilization will be deeply unpopular among Russians, and Putin on Thursday said there was no need for one. With a new law on electronic draft notices and an exit ban in place for anyone called up to serve, analysts say the Kremlin can covertly enlist 200,000 men.
“The confidence level now should be going through the roof. Putin feels he has good reason to uncork a very rare Champagne vintage,” said Alexander Gabuev, director of the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center. “His military machine is gathering steam.”
Last week, as Zelensky prepared to head to Washington to solicit Republican support for more of the military and financial aid on which Ukraine is reliant, Putin announced his run for a fifth presidential term that could see him rule Russia until 2030 and beat Joseph Stalin’s tenure as the longest-serving Kremlin leader.
Speaking at a lavish ceremony in the Kremlin where he bestowed medals upon Russian troops and commanders fighting in Ukraine, Putin said Russia’s military is working effectively and lauded the ramped-up production of its military-industrial complex. Unlike Russia, he said, Ukraine is reliant on outside help and therefore has no future.
“Those efforts to ostracize Russia, to weaken it, and ultimately to crush it,” Putin said, clutching a glass of champagne to toast the soldiers fighting in the war. “It’s not going to work out.”

“Putin Vows to Push On With Ukraine War, from 1 hour ago by Dow Jones
1 hour ago by Dow Jones
By Ann M. Simmons
Russian President Vladimir Putin vowed to press on with his war in Ukraine during an end-of-year audience in which he showed no sign of seeking a swift conclusion to the devastating conflict, saying there would only be peace once Russia had achieved its goals.
For the first time since launching the war, Putin fielded questions from the international media and ordinary Russians for more than four hours on Thursday, in a stage-managed event that cast the president as listening to his people, spotlighted Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine and sought to present Russia as resilient to the impacts of the conflict.
Putin trumpeted Russia’s economic resilience to stringent Western sanctions and vaunted Moscow’s commitment to the conflict amid U.S. infighting over tens of billions of dollars in aid to Ukraine.
“There will be peace when we achieve our goals. As for the goals, they are unchanged,” Putin said. These are “denazification, demilitarization of Ukraine and its neutral status,” he said during the combined news conference and citizen phone-in event. The Russian president has repeatedly and falsely accused the government in Kyiv of being influenced by neo-Nazis.
Putin’s bellicose remarks suggest little likelihood of an end to the war he began in February 2022 and that he has depicted as an existential struggle with the West. Ukraine’s allies had hoped earlier this year that its forces would retake some of the 20% of Ukrainian territory occupied by Russia, forcing Moscow to negotiate a settlement, but the counteroffensive failed to make significant gains.
“As for demilitarization, if they don’t want to come to an agreement, well then we are forced to take other measures, including military ones,” Putin said, referring to the government in Kyiv.
The Russian leader now appears to be hunkering down for the long haul in Ukraine just as Western support for Kyiv’s defense against Moscow faces new hurdles.
A sweeping foreign-aid measure providing $110.5 billion for Ukraine, Israel and other global hot spots was blocked by Republicans earlier this month and is now enmeshed in U.S. domestic politics.
Meanwhile, in Europe, a $54-billion package of aid is at the center of acrimony over the bloc’s approach to Ukraine.
Ukraine’s struggle to secure funding in the U.S. and Europe is throwing into question the West’s long-term commitment to supporting Kyiv. By contrast, Putin has signaled that he intends to fight in Ukraine for possibly years to come and appears prepared to wait for Western resolve to weaken.
Russia has reoriented its economy to sustain the war, greatly increasing military spending at the expense of civilian production.
Kyiv and many European governments believe Putin is waiting to see who wins next year’s U.S. presidential election, in the expectation that if Donald Trump is returned to office he would cut back or end aid for Ukraine.
Putin said a total of 486,000 volunteers had been recruited for military service in Russia to date and as many as 244,000 mobilized soldiers were currently fighting in Ukraine. In all, Putin said 617,000 Russian troops were on the front lines in Ukraine. He added that as of today there was no need for a further mobilization—a concern raised by citizens in the phone-in following last year’s call up of some 300,000 reservists.
The war in Ukraine has devastated Russia’s military, according to a newly declassified U.S. intelligence assessment shared with Congress. According to that intelligence, 315,000 Russian personnel have been killed or injured since Russia invaded in February 2022, or about 87% of Moscow’s prewar force of 360,000.
Ukrainian units have gone on the defensive, digging in along the eastern and southern front lines as winter slows fighting and Kyiv seeks to preserve manpower and equipment pending news on further Western aid. Earlier this month, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ordered the construction of a network of defensive fortifications aimed at holding back Russian forces that are pressing an advance in the east.
Millions of Russians submitted questions in advance of Thursday’s event, according to the two television anchors who joined Putin at the podium inside the auditorium, where audience members hoisted placards indicating the theme of their concerns, home region, or their news outlet.
The last time Putin met the press in 2021, the focus fell on clues about his intentions as he amassed tens of thousands of troops on the Ukrainian border. At the time, Putin denied seeking a conflict with the West and defended what he called his country’s need to protect itself against the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s attempts to encroach on its doorstep.
Putin typically holds the news conference and live public question and answer session separately but canceled both stage-managed events last year. Russia analysts said doing so allowed the president to avoid the Russian people as the military’s offensive in Ukraine was largely floundering and the conflict had stretched for months longer than the Kremlin’s forecast.
This year, the atmospherics have shifted amid Ukraine’s slowing advance on the battlefield, tens of billions of dollars in aid for Kyiv’s defense against Russia at an impasse in the U.S., and the Russian economy proving resilient to sanctions.
In power as president or prime minister since 1999, Putin has cast himself as the only leader who can safeguard Russia’s independence in what he has described as an existential confrontation with the West, convincing Russians that the fight with Ukraine is a broader war with the U.S.-led NATO.
Sanctions have failed to bring Russia’s economy to its knees. Despite shortages in Russia’s labor market, profits from oil sales have allowed Putin to continue to dish out large subsidies to citizens, particularly to those fighting at the front and their families.
“There is enough for us not only to feel confident, but to move forward,” Putin said, adding that Russia’s gross domestic product is expected to grow by 3.5% by the end of the year. “This is a good indicator, it means that we have recovered from last year’s decline” in which the economy contracted by 2.1%, he said. However, Putin cautioned that annual inflation could approach 8% in Russia this year.
Russia retains strong and influential partners, mostly notably China. In October, Beijing rolled out the red carpet for the Russian leader and both countries, at odds with the U.S., used the moment to play up their solidarity and deepening economic and political ties. On Thursday, Putin called the level of cooperation between Russia and China unprecedented, noting that trade turnover was expected to exceed $200 billion this year.
The Russian leader has also sought to strengthen support from several developing nations, including in Africa, working to persuade them that the war in Ukraine hasn’t compromised the Kremlin’s ability to provide them military and political support. At the United Nations, African countries have been split on whether to support or abstain on various resolutions condemning Russia’s aggression in Ukraine.
Earlier this month, Putin met with Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and other top regional leaders, with Russian diplomats portraying the warm welcome he received as a decisive rebuttal of the U.S.’s attempts to isolate the Russian leader over his war in Ukraine.
An aborted rebellion in June by mercenary boss Yevgeny Prigozhin presented the most serious challenge to Putin’s hold on power, but the Kremlin leader moved quickly to dispel any uncertainty at home over his authority. With his most prominent political opponents jailed or living in exile, Putin faces no serious rival in the presidential election, scheduled for March 14. Prigozhin died in a plane crash in August.
Despite failing to quickly conquer Ukraine, Putin has also sought to show Russians that their country remains a military powerhouse, largely by boasting about Russia’s nuclear capability and stoking tensions over the possible use of nuclear weapons. In recent months, he has raised the alert level of the country’s nuclear forces, announced stationing tactical nuclear missiles in neighboring ally Belarus and revoked Russia’s ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty.
