A major lawsuit has been filed against one of the biggest manufacturers of COVID-19 vaccines over purported side effects, according to a report by Fox Business:

“The state of Kansas has filed a lawsuit against pharmaceutical company Pfizer, Inc. for alleged consumer protection violations related to the company’s manufacturing of the COVID-19 vaccine, saying the company marketed the shot as ‘safe’ even though it ‘knew’ the vaccine was connected to ‘serious adverse events.’

“‘Pfizer misled the public that it had a ‘safe and effective’ COVID-19 vaccine,’ the 69-page lawsuit filed Monday in the District Court of Thomas County alleges.

“‘Pfizer said its COVID-19 vaccine was safe even though it knew its COVID-19 vaccine was connected to serious adverse events, including myocarditis and pericarditis, failed pregnancies, and deaths. Pfizer concealed this critical safety information from the public,’ the suit alleges.

“‘Pfizer said its COVID-19 vaccine was effective even though it knew its COVID-19 vaccine waned over time and did not protect against COVID-19 variants. Pfizer concealed this critical effectiveness information from the public,’ it says.

“The lawsuit alleges that the company’s ‘actions and statements relating to its COVID-19 vaccine’ violated the Kansas Consumer Protection Act, ‘regardless of whether any individual consumer ultimately received Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine.’

“‘Pfizer must be held accountable for falsely representing the benefits of its COVID-19 vaccine while concealing and suppressing the truth about its vaccine’s safety risks, waning effectiveness, and inability to prevent transmission,’ the lawsuit says.

“The suit, filed by Republican Attorney General Kris Kobach, alleges that through the company’s “misrepresentations” of the vaccine, it earned “record company revenue” of approximately $75 billion in just two years.”
