In context
“erator: Our next question comes from Evan Seigerman with BMO Capital Markets. Evan Seigerman: I really want to touch on capital deployment, specifically when it comes to share repurchases.

Albert Bourla: All right, Chris? Chris Boshoff: Thank you very much for the question. Lung cancer is obviou”
