From the earliest months of the release of the COVID vaccine, promises were made that if you were vaccinated, you would not get COVID. We all know now that this isn't true. In spite of that, various mandates came forth along with a lot of "arm-twisting" to get people vaccinated.The result is growing skepticism toward government agencies and now, 3 years since the COVID vaccine was released, there are more concerns including the lack of timely transparency on the part of pharmaceutical companies.To bring listeners an update on these issues, Crosstalk welcomed Barbara Loe Fisher. Barbara is president of the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), a non-profit charity she co-founded with parents of DPT vaccine injured children in 1982.Barbara began by noting there's a lot of push-back on the mRNA vaccines. She described how last month, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued Pfizer over its mRNA COVID vaccine, saying that the company misled the public by claiming that it had an efficacy rate of 95% against the SARS CoV-2 virus. Barbara and her organization knew that the FDA had only required Pfizer and Moderna to show that there was a reduction in symptoms of COVID, not actual prevention. Instead the public was told that if we got the vaccine, we wouldn't get COVID nor would we transmit the infection to others. So the Texas lawsuit is seeking 10 million in fines against Pfizer for willfully and unlawfully committing false, unsupported and misleading acts, practices and claims and misrepresenting the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine.Then there's the issue of the censoring of public discussion about the vaccine that's also a part of this lawsuit.
