On Monday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced that he will be investigating gain-of-function research and the misrepresentation by Covid-19 vaccine manufacturers in Big Pharma.
“Attorney General Paxton launched an investigation into the pharmaceutical companies Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson concerning whether they engaged in gain-of-function research and misled the public about doing so,” Paxton’s office said in a press release.
“Paxton is also investigating whether the companies misrepresented the efficacy of their Covid-19 vaccines and the likelihood of transmitting Covid-19 after taking the vaccines in violation of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act,” the AG’s office continued. “The investigation will also look into the potential manipulation of vaccine trial data.”
“This investigation concerns potentially fraudulent activity that falls outside the scope of legal immunity granted to manufacturers of the Covid-19 vaccine,” Paxton’s office explained. “It will also review the companies’ controversial practice of reporting the metric of ‘relative risk reduction’ instead of ‘absolute risk reduction’ when publicly discussing the efficacy of their vaccines.”
“In recent years, certain pharmaceutical companies have had record-breaking financial success, driven in part by sales made from products related to the Covid-19 pandemic,” Paxton emphasized. “This vested interest in the success of these Covid-19 products, combined with reports about the alarming side effects of vaccines, demands aggressive investigation.”
“Texas’s investigation will force these companies to turn over documents the public otherwise could not access,” the office stated. “Attorney General Paxton is committed to discovering the full scope of decision-making behind pandemic interventions forced on the public, especially when a profit motive or political pressure may have compromised Americans’ health and safety. Efforts by the federal government to coerce compliance with unjust and illegal pandemic interventions, even at the cost of citizens’ employment, means this investigation into the scientific and ethical basis on which public health decisions were made is of major significance.”
“Given the unprecedented political power and influence over public health policies that pharmaceutical companies now wield, it is more important than ever that they are held accountable if they take dangerous, illegal actions to boost their revenues,” the release concluded.
Paxton’s inquiry comes after an investigation launched by Project Veritas earlier this year uncovered that Pfizer may have conducted gain-of-function research on the coronavirus, as previously reported by the DC Enquirer. Pfizer has denied that such activity took place, however.
“The development of the Covid-19 vaccine, and the representations made by and knowledge of Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson, are of profound interest to the public’s health and welfare,” Attorney General Paxton said. “This investigation aims to discover the truth.”
“This pandemic was a deeply challenging time for Americans. If any company illegally took advantage of consumers during this period or compromised people’s safety to increase their profits, they will be held responsible,” the Texan continued. “If public health policy was developed on the basis of flawed or misleading research, the public must know. The catastrophic effects of the pandemic and subsequent interventions forced on our country and citizens deserve intense scrutiny, and we are pursuing any hint of wrongdoing to the fullest.”
Attorney General Paxton’s efforts to hold these large pharmaceutical companies accountable is an important step in gaining a better understanding of how the Covid-19 pandemic was coopted by these companies for profit.
