During the coronavirus scare, pharmaceutical company Pfizer raked in huge profits from its experimental coronavirus “vaccine” shots that were touted as “safe and effective.” Those marketing claims were incorrect: The shots instead were dangerous and ineffective.
Last week, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier filed a lawsuit in Florida state court against Pfizer and Albert Bourla, who has been the chief executive officer of Pfizer since 2019.
Michael Nevradakis provided much detail and context regarding the Florida lawsuit against Pfizer in an October 2 Children’s Health Defense article you can read here. As noted by Nevradakis, the Florida case brought in state court follows similar cases brought by the states of Kansas and Texas that are making their way through the judicial process.
The Florida case makes the straightforward argument that the company and its CEO promoted the shots as safe when it was known the shots carried the risk of serious and deadly side effects. It is also argued that they promoted the shots’ effectiveness against coronavirus despite lacking support for that claim. The allegations against Pfizer and its CEO can be largely summed up as they engaged in fraud, something for which businesses since the early days of America have routinely been held liable.
A key barrier that Florida’s and the other states’ legal actions confront is special protections against liability that have been put in place at the US government level to shield big pharma from liability, especially in relation to US government approved vaccines and to a select group of medical products that the US government designated as suitable for countering coronavirus.
