The significance of the western blot test output has been greatly overstated. Most researchers do these with a manual process and they are saying the output in the pfizer data isn't consistent with the output of a manual process. However, there are very expensive machines that automate the western blot test which a company as rich as pfizer is likely to have.
There is no doubt that pfizer lied during the approval process. These western blot outputs could have been completely fabricated. However, this is not the smoking gun some people claim it is.
