Alex Berenson, "The Pandemic's Wrongest Man"
He's not a science writer. He has a BA in History and Economics, and he's just a successful writer who has found out there's money to be made by pandering to the fearful.

Correct. It's the other way around.
What quote? What clinical trial? His tweet is all over the place, including on his substack page (https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/blocked-again-for-a-week-this-time), and in it there's neither a quote from Pfizer nor a link to the trial results.
His contention that the main medical response to the pandemic is wrong is well known. Why should we take his word for what the study says? Seems odd he doesn't link to it.
In the past (https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/here-we-go-again?r=n75as&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&utm_source=copy) Berenson has applied his own definitions to other peoples' results and then claimed not that they were doing it differently but that they were lying on purpose. He comes across as a huckster who has discovered he can get paid for articles and presumably speaking engagements by encouraging fear and paranoia in already frightened people.
Given that history if he is providing his opinion on a clinical trial but appears not to want to let us read it ourselves it's not unreasonable to think he has cooked the results found by others to suit his own narrative. He's done it before, and it's too bad anyone is willing to provide him a soapbox when he does it.
