Florida lawsuit against Pfizer over vaccine claims

Overview

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier filed a civil lawsuit against Pfizer Inc. and CEO Albert Bourla in St. Lucie County. The legal action, brought under the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, alleges that the company misled the public concerning the safety and efficacy of its COVID-19 vaccine.

The complaint claims Pfizer concealed known risks, such as myocarditis, pericarditis, and complications in pregnant women, while asserting the vaccine was safe. It further alleges the company suggested the vaccine could halt virus transmission without sufficient evidence and worked to discredit those questioning its public statements. The state also noted significant price increases in 2023.

Florida is seeking an injunction to prevent future violations, the recovery of profits obtained through alleged deceit, and civil penalties. Pfizer has denied the allegations, stating its representations have been ‘accurate and science-based’ and that the company stands by the vaccine’s safety and efficacy.
