President Biden’s top science adviser, Eric Lander, held stock in Covid-19 vaccine maker BioNTech worth between $500,000 and $1 million more than two months into his tenure, Politico reported this week.

By then, BioNTech stock had hit its second-highest price ever.The day before he sold, Lander wrote about the importance of vaccines in The Washington Post without disclosing his stake. A spokesperson for the agency Lander ran said that promoting vaccines was “not even close to an ethics concern.”
