During a press conference in Topeka, Kobach alleged that\u2063 Pfizer\u2063 claimed its vaccine was &#8220;safe and effective&#8221; despite being aware of serious <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/vaccine-maker-biontech-looking-into-reports-of-heart-inflammation\/\" title=\"Vaccine maker BioNTech looking into reports of heart inflammation\">potential side effects<\/a>\u2064 such as myocarditis, \u200bpericarditis, failed pregnancies, and deaths.

Pfizer said its COVID-19 vaccine was safe even though it knew its COVID-19 vaccine was connected to serious adverse events, including myocarditis and pericarditis, failed pregnancies, and deaths. Pfizer concealed this critical safety information from the public.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pfizer said its COVID-19 vaccine was effective even though it knew its COVID-19 vaccine waned over time and did not protect against COVID-19 variants,\u201d the lawsuit continues. \u201cPfizer concealed this critical effectiveness information from the public. Pfizer said its COVID-19 vaccine would prevent transmission of COVID-19 even though it knew it never studied the effect of its vaccine on transmission of COVID-19. To keep the public from learning the truth, Pfizer worked to censor speech on social media that questioned Pfizer\u2019s claims about its COVID-19 vaccine. \u2026 Pfizer must be held accountable for falsely representing the benefits of its COVID- 19 vaccine while concealing and suppressing the truth about its vaccine\u2019s safety risks, waning effectiveness, and inability to prevent transmission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pfizer <a href=\"https:\/\/fox4kc.com\/news\/kansas-attorney-general-sues-pfizer-over-covid-vaccine-company-responds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">released the following statement<\/a> in response to the lawsuit:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em>We are proud to have developed the COVID-19 vaccine in record time in the midst of a global pandemic and saved countless lives.
