Pfizer in the crosshairs again
Kansas joins Texas in suing Pfizer, alleging the manufacturer "willfully concealed, suppressed, and omitted safety and efficacy data relating to its COVID-19 vaccine.”
Kansas is the latest US state to file a lawsuit against Pfizer, accusing the pharmaceutical giant of misleading the public about the safety and effectiveness of its covid-19 vaccine.
Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach claims that Pfizer knew about the risks associated with its vaccine, “including myocarditis and pericarditis, failed pregnancies, and deaths” but failed to disclose this information to the public.
The 179-page lawsuit also alleges that Pfizer made ‘false and misleading’ statements regarding the vaccine's ability to prevent viral transmission, its waning effectiveness and its ability to protect against new variants of the virus.
