The team at Pfizer is made of dozens (or hundreds) of respectable scientists and lab workers. If Pfizer had a "one-shot" cure and was sitting on it for reasons of greed, then we would hope that at least one of these people would feel morally compelled to blow the whistle.
And regarding the lobby power of big pharma: while this may be true in the USA, they don't have nearly as much political power in europe and other democratic countries where governments put their citizens first, and we see the vaccines being offered in these other countries as well

Pfizer has a one-shot (well 10 pill, if I understand the course of treatment) cure, and they aren't sitting on it.
