Pfizer, the emblematic company during the lockdown years, and its CEO allegedly hoodwinked Florida’s residents regarding the effectiveness and safety of the COVID-19 vaccine, contends a lawsuit from the state’s attorney general.

Pfizer misled consumers about the safety risks linked with the vaccine, including in an April 1, 2021, press release that said there were “no serious safety concerns” through six months after a second dose, the lawsuit, filed on Oct. 1 in Florida circuit court, said.

According to a story by the Epoch Times, Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, subsequently told CNBC in a 2023 interview: “We constantly review and analyze the data. We’ve not seen a single [safety] signal although we have distributed billions of doses.”

But Florida’s Attorney General James Uthmeier said in a video statement after filing the suit: “What they didn’t say? That they knew about myocarditis in teenagers and young adults. They had reports of thousands of adverse events, including stroke and death. And they had reason to know the shot posed risks to pregnant women and unborn babies in the first trimester.”

In the United States, Federal officials and Israel identified a signal for myocarditis, or heart inflammation, among other health issues, in 2021 for the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines. As early as 2021, U.S. regulatory labels warned of the risk of heart inflammation.

Including Pfizer said at the time it was aware of reports of myocarditis after receipt of its vaccine, Uthmeier’s lawsuit noted, although the company said no causal link had been established.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in 2023, after Bourla’s interview, that there was a causal link.

In its own website, Pfizer says that data “demonstrates increased risks of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the lining outside the heart), particularly within the first week following vaccination.”

In addition, Pfizer also had reason to believe its vaccine posed risks for pregnant women and their babies in the first trimester, Uthmeier also alleged in the suit, referencing fetal abnormalities detected during testing on rats and reports of miscarriages after Pfizer vaccination received by early 2021.
