Florida AG Files Lawsuit Against Pfizer Over Alleged Misconduct Regarding Vaccine Risks
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has filed a lawsuit against pharmaceutical giant Pfizer (PFE) and its CEO, Albert Bourla.

The legal action claims that Pfizer's marketing efforts were misleading to consumers and healthcare providers, potentially violating consumer protection laws in Florida.
