Pfizergate refers to the controversy surrounding European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's undisclosed text messages with Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla during negotiations for a multibillion-euro COVID-19 vaccine contract in 2021. The case highlighted a lack of transparency and prompted an EU court to rule that the Commission wrongfully blocked access to these communications.

Key Aspects of the Scandal:
Missing Messages: Personal text messages and calls between von der Leyen and Bourla reportedly secured a massive vaccine deal, but these messages were not officially recorded or released.
Transparency Violations: In May 2025, the EU General Court ruled the Commission failed to meet transparency requirements by not releasing the messages.
Lost Data: The Commission has claimed the text messages are likely "lost" or "deleted" because they were considered "short-lived" and not registered.
Legal Action: The case was brought to court, partly by The New York Times, leading to a ruling that the Commission must pay legal costs and revisit its refusal to provide the documents.
Political Consequences: The scandal has led to intense scrutiny of her leadership, including demands for accountability and a no-confidence debate in the European Parliament.
