Group suing Pfizer over alleged anti-Asian, anti-white program loses appeal

The Virginia-based nonprofit accusing Pfizer of discriminating against Asian and white applicants for a coveted fellowship program has lost its appeal in court this week. Catch up: Do No Harm, a group composed of medical professionals, sued Pfizer in September 2022 over the company's Breakthrough Fellowship Program, a nine-year stint that aims to increase “the pipeline for Black/African American, Latino/Hispanic and Native Americans” in its workforce. The suit alleged that Pfizer had violated federal and state laws against racial discrimination.
