Lawsuit claims Pfizer fellowship discriminates against whites and Asians

A national association of medical professionals has filed a lawsuit against pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, alleging that the company runs a fellowship that illegally excludes white and Asian American applicants.

Do No Harm claimed that Pfizer’s Breakthrough Fellowship Program violates several state and federal laws as it is racially discriminatory and requires that applicants meet its stated aim of “increasing the pipeline for Black/African American, Latino/Hispanic and Native Americans.”
