FLORIDA SUES PFIZER: The CEO Is Named Personally
Episode notes
Right here in Florida, Attorney General James Uthmeier has sued Pfizer and its CEO, Albert Bourla, personally, under Florida's Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, per Bloomberg Law and the Florida Phoenix. The complaint alleges Pfizer told people its COVID vaccine was safe while failing to disclose risks including heart inflammation, and urged people to get the shot to protect others when the company had not tested whether it stopped the virus from spreading. Uthmeier: "Today we sued Pfizer for deceptively marketing the products as safe, making billions." The complaint says Pfizer took in more than $80 billion in vaccine sales and Bourla was paid nearly $102 million from 2020 through 2023. Florida is asking for $10,000 per violation, $15,000 where the victim was a senior or disabled, and Pfizer's profits back. Pfizer says the allegations are without merit and its statements were accurate and science-based. For four years, anybody who asked these questions was called a conspiracy theorist. Now a state attorney general is asking them in a courtroom. Let's see what discovery turns up. Chuck reads the story, as reported by The Gateway Pundit, Yahoo News and Just the News.
