> I doubt any political personality has enough clout to force Pfizer
All I know is that (as was reported somewhat later and not well distributed) they reached pre-planned number of cases before the election and then someone, presumably from FDA, said that that it will be better to open it up with more cases to be more sure. This is all reading between lines of obscure explanations, I never read anyone fully explaining what happened. Maybe I missed it. If you saw it, please suggest where to find it.
