On May 6, 2022, the website Vancouver Times published an article claiming that Rady Johnson, the executive vice president and chief compliance, quality, and risk officer of the pharmaceutical company Pfizer Inc., was arrested and charged with fraud after thousands of incriminated documents were released: This was not a genuine news item, and the central claim is false. Rady Johnson has neither been arrested nor charged with fraud or any other crime. No legitimate news sources have reported such an incident. Vancouver Times, the original source of this fabricated story, describes its own content as follows: In 2021, a similar satirical claim concerning the supposed arrest of Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla went viral. It, too, was false.
