The Spin

Establishment-critical narrative

Pfizer sold certainty it never had, hiding heart inflammation in young people, brushing off pregnancy risks and pushing the fiction that a shot would stop transmission. Consumer protection laws exist precisely to punish a company that profits from spin while burying its own adverse event reports. Liability shields should never mean a drugmaker gets to market a product on claims the data never supported.

Pro-establishment narrative

This lawsuit, like Texas', recycles debunked anti-vaccine talking points to smear a product that prevented millions of hospitalizations and deaths. Demanding absolutes from a short trial run during lockdowns is a rigged standard designed to make an effective vaccine look worthless. Turning courtrooms into a stage for health misinformation endangers everyone who still relies on vaccines.
