A Greek newspaper likened the Greek Jewish chief executive of pharmaceutical giant Pfizer to Nazi war criminal Dr Josef Mengele on its front page earlier this week. 

In an accompanying article, Makeleio claimed to readers that Albert Bourla – a Jew originating from Thessaloniki – would “stick the needle” into them, describing Pzifer’s coronavirus vaccine as “poison”. 

On Thursday, the paper doubled down on the criticism of Mr Bourla. It repeated the accusations, with a headline claiming that the “Greek Jew” had “trousered millions” on behalf of the “Israeli Council.” 

“Terror countdown for the mandatory vaccine,” the paper had written on Tuesday.
