Keeping Pfizer on the Legal Hot Seat

Keeping Pfizer on the Legal Hot Seat

One of Solari’s core messages in the face of rapidly encroaching centralization and a ramped-up Great Poisoning has been that meaningful change and pushback are both possible and necessary at the state (and local) levels. This week, we applaud Kansas Attorney General (AG) Kris Kobach for his state’s lawsuit against Pfizer for misleading the public about the Covid injections, and we salute federal judge Daniel D. Crabtree for a District Court decision that keeps states in a position to hold Pfizer accountable.

Kobach filed the lawsuit in Thomas County, Kansas, in June 2024 for violations of the Kansas Consumer Protection Act. Specifically, he alleged false advertising related to Pfizer’s claims of “vaccine efficacy, safety, and particularly claims that its vaccine was safe for pregnant women and posed no risk for myocarditis or pericarditis.” Strategically, Kansas’s allegations, according to VitalLaw,

“targeted Pfizer’s marketing practices (e.g., misleading public statements, censoring social media, concealing safety data), not its vaccine production or delivery, which were…government-directed actions.”

A news release from the AG’s office explains what happened next:

“Despite this being a question of state law filed in state court, Pfizer attempted to postpone and frustrate the Attorney General’s enforcement action by taking the case out of state court and moving it to federal court. Judge Crabtree of the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas has brought an end to Pfizer’s delaying tactic and ordered that the matter be returned to state court….”

Pfizer made three arguments in favor of federal jurisdiction, but Judge Crabtree shot them down, stating, “none persuade the court that it has the power to adjudicate this case.”

Judge Crabtree is a lifelong Kansan, “active in civic and charitable enterprises,” who spent 32 years in private practice representing businesses and business owners until nominated by President Obama in 2014 to serve as a District Court judge. Likewise a native Kansan, Kobach’s illustrious bio includes 15 years as a constitutional law professor at the University of Missouri and—just before becoming Attorney General in November 2022—representing (as an attorney in private practice) 36 members of the Air Force and Air National Guard denied a religious exemption to the Biden Covid vaccine mandate. In 2024, he became Chairman of the Republican Attorney General Association.

Other courts generally have accepted Pfizer’s claim of legal immunity—for anything and everything—under the PREP Act. Judge Crabtree’s legally ground-breaking ruling, according to Children’s Health Defense senior outside counsel Ray Flores, “sets a new, persuasive precedent and provides a roadmap for [other states] to follow.”

We encourage other state Attorneys General to take notice of this “roadmap” and hold Pfizer’s feet to the fire.
