COVID-19 vaccine is ineffective and causes heart disease: Kansas sues Pfizer

The state of Kansas filed a lawsuit against Pfizer on June 17, accusing it of misleading the public. We are talking about the COVID-19 vaccine: Pfizer allegedly hid the risks that arise when using the vaccine and gave false information about its real effectiveness, the agency reports Reuters.

The lawsuit, filed in Thomas County Circuit Court, alleges that the drug manufacturer's false statements violate the Kansas Consumer Protection Act. The state is demanding monetary compensation, the amount of which has not yet been determined.

“Pfizer made several misleading claims about its vaccine at a time when Americans needed the truth,” Kansas Attorney General Kris Koback said.

The lawsuit says that since early 2021, shortly after the vaccine was launched, Pfizer hid evidence that the shot could cause pregnancy complications, including miscarriage, as well as inflammation of the lining of the heart (myocarditis and pericarditis).

“Everything Pfizer said about its vaccine was accurate and based on scientific evidence,” Pfizer said in a statement, calling the lawsuit without merit.

In June 2021, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) added a warning about myocarditis and pericarditis to the vaccine label. These side effects are rare and most often occur in teenagers and young men.

In 2023, a review was prepared based on 21 studies conducted by the US National Institutes of Health. Scientists and doctors have concluded that vaccination against COVID-19 is not associated with miscarriages.

The Kansas lawsuit also alleges that Pfizer lied to consumers about the vaccine's effectiveness. The firm said its vaccine, developed with German partner BioNTech for the first strain of the virus, remains highly effective against mutated variants and prevents not only disease but also transmission of the virus. But according to the plaintiffs, this is not the case, and the vaccine is not effective against the mutated strains.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a similar lawsuit against Pfizer last year. The case is still pending. Pfizer also called this lawsuit unfounded.
