Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against Pfizer, accusing the drugmaker of deceptive practices and false claims about the effectiveness of its COVID-19 vaccine. The lawsuit alleges that Pfizer misled the public by insinuating that its vaccine would end the pandemic, despite never promising an end date. Paxton's arguments, which echo anti-vaccine sentiments, claim that the pandemic did not end quickly enough and that vaccinated individuals were more likely to die from COVID-19, both of which experts dispute. The lawsuit comes amid a push by Texas conservatives to ban vaccine mandates and promote anti-vaccine positions.
