Kansas files lawsuit against Pfizer for COVID vaccine misrepresentations
- Kansas state government sues Pfizer for allegedly misleading the public about COVID-19 vaccine safety.
- The lawsuit accuses Pfizer of 'misrepresentations' and 'adverse events' related to the vaccine.
- The legal action raises concerns about vaccine safety and transparency in the pharmaceutical industry.
Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach filed a lawsuit against Pfizer, accusing the company of hiding serious adverse events related to the COVID vaccine. The lawsuit alleges that Pfizer misrepresented the benefits of its vaccine while concealing safety risks, waning effectiveness, and inability to prevent transmission. Kobach claims Pfizer earned $75 billion through misrepresentation. The lawsuit also states that Pfizer knew about adverse effects such as myocarditis, pericarditis, miscarriages, and deaths linked to the vaccine. Pfizer is accused of concealing critical effectiveness information and manipulating data related to the safety and efficacy of the vaccine. The lawsuit by Kobach is similar to one filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Pfizer denies the allegations, stating that its representations about the vaccine have been accurate and science-based.
