Ken Paxton Seeks to Revive Lawsuit Accusing Pfizer of Vaccine Misrepresentation
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton asked the U.S. Fifth Circuit to revive his COVID-19 vaccine lawsuit against Pfizer after a federal judge dismissed it. Paxton sued in state court under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act over claims Pfizer misrepresented vaccine efficacy, and sought injunctive relief and civil penalties. The appeal includes arguments over Pfizer immunity and whether removal to federal court was proper.
