The state of Texas, through its Attorney General Ken Paxton, has recently initiated legal proceedings against Pfizer, Inc. This lawsuit accuses the pharmaceutical company of distributing misleading information about the efficacy of its COVID-19 vaccine and attempting to hinder public dialogue about the product.

In the lawsuit, it is alleged that Pfizer's behavior and public announcements about their COVID-19 vaccine were deceptive, false, and resulted in misinformation. These actions are said to have contravened the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. Pfizer, it is argued, knowingly made assertions about its vaccine that were not sufficiently backed by scientific evidence.

The lawsuit states that Pfizer's assertion that the vaccine has a 95% effectiveness in preventing infection was highly misleading. This number is based on a metric known as 'relative risk reduction' drawn from the initial clinical trial results over a span of two months. According to the documents released by the FDA, a 'relative risk reduction' metric can provide a misleading perspective and unduly influence consumer choice.

Despite having received a warning about the impossibility of accurately predicting the vaccine's protection beyond two months, the company continued to give the public an incorrect impression about the long-lasting nature of the vaccine. Pfizer has been accused of withholding critical information that could debunk its claims about the duration of the vaccine's protective effects, according to the allegations.
