Lawsuit Brought Against Pfizer By Republican Attorney General DISMISSED

A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit against Pfizer brought by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

District Judge Sam Cummings ruled that Pfizer is “entitled to immunity under the Public Readiness and Emergency Act (‘PREP Act’).”

In the lawsuit, Paxton accused the COVID-19 jab manufacturer of misrepresenting the effectiveness of its experimental shot.

Bloomberg Law reports:

Cummings, a Reagan-era appointee, said the drugmakers’ challenged statements weren’t connected to any trade or commerce or any consumer transaction.

Cummings’ two-page order gives little additional insight, instead pointing to the reasons Pfizer argued in court filings seeking to dismiss Paxton’s claims.

“Pfizer intentionally misrepresented the efficacy of its COVID-19 vaccine and censored persons who threatened to disseminate the truth in order to facilitate fast adoption of the product and expand its commercial opportunity,” the complaint said, according to Reuters.

Per Reuters:

The lawsuit seeks to stop New York-based Pfizer from making alleged false claims and silencing “truthful speech” about its vaccine, and more than $10 million in fines for violating a Texas law protecting consumers from deceptive marketing.

Pfizer said more than 1.5 billion of people have received its vaccine. The drugmaker has reported more than $74 billion of revenue in 2021 and 2022 related to COVID-19 immunizations.

In a statement, Pfizer said its representations about its vaccine have been “accurate and science-based,” and that it believed Paxton’s lawsuit had no merit.

Pfizer also said its vaccine has “demonstrated a favorable safety profile in all age groups, and helped protect against severe COVID-19 outcomes, including hospitalization and death.”
