Stacey Abrams, Pfizer CEO, WEF president listed among participants for secretive Bilderberg meeting that features elites from various countries
Twice-failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, Pfizer chairman and CEO Albert Bourla, Microsoft chairman and CEO Satya Nadella, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and World Economic Forum President Børge Brende are among the cadre of participants listed for the Bilderberg meeting currently underway in Lisbon, Portugal.
Some of the other participants for the May 18-21 meeting include NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, U.S. Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Director Jen Easterly, and John Waldron, president and COO of the Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
The Economist editor in chief Zanny Minton Beddoes, distinguished visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution Matthew Pottinger, and Bloomberg editor in chief John Micklethwait, are some more of the listed participants.
A press release lists "key topics" to be covered during the meeting, including artificial intelligence, China, Europe, India, Russia, Ukraine, NATO, "Energy Transition," "US Leadership," "Transnational Threats," "Industrial Policy and Trade," "Fiscal Challenges," and the "Banking System."
"The meetings are held under the Chatham House Rule, which states that participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s) nor any other participant may be revealed," the press release notes.
The frequently asked questions section of bilderbergmeetings.org includes a question that asks, "In today's information society and with so many of your participants regularly underscoring the importance of transparency in an open society, how can you justify imposing the Chatham House Rule?"
The answer to the question says, "Participants are of course free to discuss ideas expressed at the Meeting in general terms and many do so every year. However, as in many meetings across the world, participants agree not to quote each other. This is to ensure that all participants feel they can speak freely in an environment of trust."

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla tests positive for COVID-19: 'I am grateful to have received four doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine'
Pfizer chairman and CEO Albert Bourla, who received four COVID-19 vaccine shots, has tested positive for the illness.
"I would like to inform the public that I have tested positive for COVID-19. I am grateful to have received four doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine and I am feeling well while experiencing very mild symptoms. I have started a course of PAXLOVID™ (nirmatrelvir [PF-07321332] tablets and ritonavir tablets), I am isolating in place as well as following all public health precautions," Bourla said in a statement.
"We have come so far in the past two years in our efforts to battle this disease that I am confident that I will have a speedy recovery. I am incredibly grateful for the tireless efforts of my Pfizer colleagues who worked to make vaccines and treatments available for me and people around the world," he said.
Bourla joins the ranks of other prominent COVID-19 vaccination promoters who have received multiple jabs and still tested positive.
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci tested positive for COVID-19 in June. "He is fully vaccinated and has been boosted twice. He is currently experiencing mild symptoms," an NIAID statement noted at the time.
Later in June, Fauci discussed his experience with the illness, including a "Paxlovid rebound."
He said that he took Paxlovid for five days and then subsequently tested negative for three days straight before testing positive on the fourth day. Fauci said that he began feeling even "worse than in the first go-around," and started another course of Paxlovid — at the time of the interview, he said he was on day four of his second round of Paxlovid, and that while he was not symptom free, he felt "reasonably good."
U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday, after previously testing positive for the illness earlier this year.
Austin said in a statement, "my doctor told me that my fully vaccinated status, including two booster shots, is why my symptoms are less severe than would otherwise be the case."
"Vaccinations continue to both slow the spread of COVID-19 and to make its health effects less severe. Vaccination remains a medical requirement for our workforce, and I continue to encourage everyone to get fully vaccinated and boosted," Austin declared.

Robinson was right: 'The CEO had to cancel a planned trip to Israel because he was not fully vaccinated.' There's nothing 'misleading' about it.Pfizer CEO pushes annual COVID-19 vaccine shot as company makes billions: 'Easier to convince people to do it'
Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla admitted Saturday that he is hoping people around the world will receive annual COVID-19 vaccine shots.
The admission comes as the global community implements booster campaigns because, as Reuters noted, the COVID vaccines have proven to be effective at preventing most deaths and hospitalizations, but not transmission.
What are the details?
Speaking with Israel's N12 News, Bourla was asked whether he believes COVID booster shoots will be administered on a regular basis, such as every four or five months. In response, Bourla expressed hope in annual vaccine shots.
"This will not be a good scenario," Bourla said of regular booster shots, Reuters reported. "What I'm hoping [is] that we will have a vaccine that you will have to do once a year."
Bourla's justification? Because convincing people to receive an annual shot is easier than convincing them to receive bi-annual boosters.
"Once a year — it is easier to convince people to do it. It is easier for people to remember," Bourla explained. "So from a public health perspective, it is an ideal situation. We are looking to see if we can create a vaccine that covers Omicron and doesn't forget the other variants and that could be a solution."
How much money is Pfizer making?
When Pfizer released its third-quarter earnings report last November, the company estimated its COVID-19 vaccine would generate $36 billion in total revenue through 2021.
During the same time period, Pfizer reported a net income (or profit) of nearly $8.146 billion, up from just $1.469 billion during the third-quarter of 2020.
What about the US?
CDC Director Rochelle Walensky admitted last week that her agency is working to change the definition of "fully vaccinated" to include booster shots.
"What we really are working to do is pivot the language to make sure that everybody is as up to date with their COVID-19 vaccines as they personally could be, should be, based on when they got their last vaccine," Walenksy said.
"That means if you recently got your second dose, you’re not eligible for a booster, you’re up to date," she explained. "If you are eligible for a booster and you haven’t gotten it, you’re not up to date and you need to get your booster in order to be up to date."
