The lawsuit alleges \u2062that Pfizer violated the Texas Deceptive\u200d Trade Practices Act by engaging\u200c in\u2064 false and misleading acts.<\/p>\n<p>According to\u2062 the lawsuit, Pfizer provided false information about the vaccine&#8217;s effectiveness, \u200dspecifically claiming it was 95% effective. However, the\u200c lawsuit argues that at the \u200dtime of making these claims, Pfizer only had two\u200d months of clinical trial data to compare vaccinated and unvaccinated persons. The number \u2062of COVID-19 cases among placebo recipients during this period was minimal,\u200d indicating that\u2062 vaccination status\u2062 had little impact on whether a trial participant contracted the\u2064 virus. The lawsuit further claims that Pfizer&#8217;s own\u200c data showed that \u2062preventing one COVID-19 case required vaccinating 119\u200b individuals, making the vaccine \u2062far less effective \u200bthan claimed.<\/p>\n<p>Paxton also alleges that as Pfizer distributed millions of vaccine doses, COVID-19 cases increased\u200d in some \u2064areas, with a higher\u2063 number of deaths\u200b occurring among the vaccinated population compared to the unvaccinated.\u200b The lawsuit asserts that Pfizer colluded with the Biden Administration to request\u2064 the censorship of \u200bCOVID-related misinformation from Big Tech companies.<\/p>\n<p>In a press release, Attorney General Paxton emphasized\u200d his commitment to\u2064 pursuing justice for the people of\u200b Texas who were misled and harmed\u2063 by Pfizer&#8217;s actions. He criticized the Biden \u200cAdministration\u200c for\u200b leveraging\u2062 the pandemic to enforce illegal \u200bpublic health decrees and enrich pharmaceutical companies, and he pledged to use every available tool \u2062to protect the\u200b citizens of \u200cTexas.<\/p>\n<p>This lawsuit against Pfizer raises important questions about the transparency and accuracy of \u200cinformation surrounding COVID-19 vaccines. It\u200c highlights the need for\u2063 pharmaceutical companies to provide accurate data and for \u2064regulators to thoroughly review and evaluate the\u2064 efficacy and safety of vaccines.\u200c The outcome of this lawsuit will have significant\u2064 implications\u2062 for public \u2064trust in \u200dvaccines and the accountability of pharmaceutical companies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The European Commission has pre-ordered vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech, with up to 300 million doses.
