Kansas is filing a civil suit against Pfizer under the Kansas Consumer Protection Act for misleading statements in marketing its COVID-19 vaccine, violating previous consent judgments. This is the first of a multistate collaboration.
The suit alleges Pfizer marketed its vaccine as safe for pregnant women, despite possessing reports of adverse events and miscarriages in pregnant women who received the vaccine, and a study suggesting links to infertility in rats. Pfizer denied links between its vaccine and myocarditis/pericarditis, even though the US government, military, and foreign governments had found such a connection. Pfizer claimed its vaccine protected against variants, but data showed it was effective less than half the time. Pfizer urged vaccination to protect loved ones, implying it stopped transmission, but later admitted it never studied transmission.
Pfizer allegedly coordinated with social media platforms to censor critical speech. Pfizer declined Operation Warp Speed funding to avoid government oversight. By February 2024, Pfizer delivered over 3.3 million vaccine doses in Kansas, accounting for over 60% of all doses given. The suit focuses on deceptive marketing, not injury claims, as vaccine manufacturers have federal immunity for tort suits.
