Pfizer Sued by State AG
November 30, 2023 | Texas
On Thursday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R-TX) announced that he has officially filed a lawsuit against Pfizer for misrepresenting COVID-19 vaccine efficacy and conspiring to censor public discourse around the vaccine. The Texas attorney general is accusing Pfizer of “unlawfully misrepresenting the effectiveness of the company’s COVID-19 vaccine and attempting to censor public discussion of the product.”
The AG’s office went on to explain that Pfizer “engaged in false, deceptive, and misleading acts and practices” by making unsupported claims about the COVID-19 vaccine. Paxton cites the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act as the reason for the suit against Pfizer. (Excerpt from DC Enquirer.)
