It Matters for the Future that People Know What Happened in the Past

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton says his lawsuit against Pfizer that alleges the company misled the public about the efficacy of its COVID vaccine has been “a long time coming.” “These companies have special protection through the federal government. If it’s considered a vaccine, or it’s treated as a vaccine, then they don’t have any liability. So they don’t necessarily have to test, they don’t necessarily have to disclose what they’re doing,” Paxton explains. “And in this case, we’re pretty sure they were lying about the efficacy and the effectiveness of this drug, saying...That it was 95% effective when in reality it may have been less than 1% effective.”
