Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against Pfizer, accusing the pharmaceutical company of misleading the public about the effectiveness of its COVID-19 vaccine and attempting to suppress discussions about it.
“By the end of 2021, official government reports showed that in at least some places a greater percentage of the vaccinated were dying from COVID-19 than the unvaccinated,” the petition read. “Pfizer’s vaccine plainly was not ‘95% effective.’”
According to Paxton, Pfizer violated the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act by engaging in false and misleading acts.
“In a nutshell, Pfizer deceived the public,” the lawsuit stated.
“We are pursuing justice for the people of Texas, many of whom were coerced by tyrannical vaccine mandates to take a defective product sold by lies,” Paxton said in a press release. “The facts are clear. Pfizer did not tell the truth about their COVID-19 vaccines. Whereas the Biden Administration weaponized the pandemic to force illegal public health decrees on the public and enrich pharmaceutical companies, I will use every tool I have to protect our citizens who were misled and harmed by Pfizer’s actions.”
The lawsuit centers around allegations that Pfizer made false claims about the vaccine’s 95% effectiveness.
“When it began making those claims, Pfizer possessed on average only two months of clinical trial data from which to compare vaccinated and unvaccinated persons,” the lawsuit read. “Of 17,000 placebo recipients, only 162 acquired COVID-19 during this two-month period. Based on those numbers, vaccination status had a negligible impact on whether a trial participant contracted COVID-19.”
“The risk of acquiring COVID-19 was so small in the first instance during this short window that Pfizer’s vaccine only fractionally improved a person’s risk of infection,” the petition continued. “And a vaccine recipient’s absolute risk reduction—the federal Food & Drug Administration’s (FDA) preferred efficacy metric—showed that the vaccine was merely 0.85% effective. Moreover, according to Pfizer’s own data, preventing one COVID-19 case required vaccinating 119. That was the simple truth. But Pfizer’s fusillade of public representations bore no resemblance to reality.”
Paxton also alleges that COVID cases increased as Pfizer distributed millions of its shots, with some areas reporting more deaths among the vaccinated population than the unvaccinated.
Paxton further claims that Pfizer colluded with the Biden Administration to request censorship of COVID-related misinformation from Big Tech companies.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against Pfizer, accusing the pharmaceutical company of misleading the public about the effectiveness of its COVID-19 vaccine and attempting to suppress discussions about it. The lawsuit centers around allegations that Pfizer made false claims about the vaccine’s 95% effectiveness.

Paxton further alleges that Pfizer deceived the public and violated the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act by engaging in false and misleading acts. He states that many Texans were coerced into taking a defective product sold by lies due to tyrannical vaccine mandates.
Pfizer is accused of making claims about the vaccine’s effectiveness without sufficient clinical trial data. The lawsuit mentions that Pfizer possessed only two months of clinical trial data when it began making claims about the vaccine’s effectiveness. The numbers from the clinical trial indicate that vaccination status had a negligible impact on whether a trial participant contracted COVID-19.
Additionally, Paxton claims that Pfizer colluded with the Biden Administration to request censorship of COVID-related misinformation from Big Tech companies. He believes that Pfizer’s actions have misled and harmed citizens who were coerced into taking the vaccine.
The lawsuit brings attention to the fact that COVID cases increased as Pfizer distributed millions of its shots, with some areas reporting more deaths among the vaccinated population than the unvaccinated.
Paxton concludes by stating that he will use every tool he has to protect citizens who were misled and harmed by Pfizer’s actions. He believes that the Biden Administration weaponized the pandemic to force illegal public health decrees on the public and enrich pharmaceutical companies.
The lawsuit against Pfizer highlights the importance of transparency and accurate information when it comes to public health matters. The allegations made by the Texas Attorney General raise concerns about the efficacy of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine and the role of pharmaceutical companies in promoting and distributing vaccines.
As the case unfolds, it will be important to examine the evidence presented by both parties to determine the truth behind the claims made against Pfizer. The outcome of this lawsuit could have implications for public trust in vaccines and the pharmaceutical industry as a whole.
In the midst of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it is crucial for individuals to stay informed and rely on reliable sources of information. Misleading claims and false information can have serious consequences, and it is important to rely on scientific evidence and expert opinion when making decisions about healthcare.
