The Spin

It's is easy to haul up Pfizer for stray mistakes years after things turned normal after the pandemicpost-COVID. The company, which once swiftly produced a COVID vaccine and achieved record-breaking sales to pull the world back from the brink, now faces a downturn. This only highlights the unpredictable and thankless nature of the system.

Wall Street Journal

Pfizer clearly played along with attempts to exaggeratedexaggerate its COVID-19 vaccine's efficacy, violating consumer protection laws. It may deny the claims, but there's is no escaping responsibility when its own senior executives spread such disinformation on social media, and that, too, at a crucial moment during the pandemic. The world's courts must take the company to task.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 50% chance that per the median of the first three published peer-reviewed studies, the vaccine effectiveness of three doses of Pfizer against hospitalization caused by Omicron will be at least 88.5%, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
