Texas sues Pfizer for overstating COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against Pfizer, accusing the company of unlawfully misrepresenting the effectiveness of its COVID-19 vaccine and censoring public discussion about it.
Paxton claims that Pfizer's vaccine has a mere 0.85% absolute risk reduction, making it less effective than implied. He also alleges that Pfizer censored individuals who wanted to reveal factual discrepancies.
The State of Texas is seeking to permanently block Pfizer from making these claims about the vaccine and is requesting civil penalties for violations of the Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
