Texas Attorney General Sues Pfizer Over COVID-19 Vaccine Claims

Ken Paxton alleges Pfizer misrepresented vaccine efficacy and attempted to censor critics; Pfizer denies allegations and states its representations have been 'accurate and science-based'.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has sued Pfizer, alleging the company misrepresented the efficacy of its COVID-19 vaccine and attempted to censor public discussion on the vaccine.
Paxton claims Pfizer's assertion that the vaccine was 95% effective was misleading and accuses the company of intimidating and silencing critics on social media.
The lawsuit seeks to bar Pfizer from making claims about the vaccine's efficacy and coordinating with social media platforms to silence criticism. It also seeks more than $10 million in civil penalties.
Pfizer has responded by stating that the company's representations about its vaccine have been 'accurate and science-based' and believes the state's case has 'no merit'.
The lawsuit follows Paxton's investigation into Pfizer and other vaccine manufacturers announced earlier this year.
