The anti-vaccine movement has a new conspiracy theory about Pfizer's COVID-19 shot. Don't believe them.
If you expected the anti-vaccine crowd to stand down after the Food and Drug Administration gave final authorization to Pfizer’s COVID-19 shot, we have some bad news for you.
Reduced to its essentials, the new claim is that the FDA didn’t really grant full authorization to the Pfizer vaccine, which has been christened Comirnaty. Here’s Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a leading anti-vaccine figure, fomenting the new conspiracy theory: “Just as with Ford’s exploding Pinto, or Monsanto’s herbicide Roundup, people injured by the Comirnaty vaccine could potentially sue for damages.” In a screed on his anti-vaccination organization’s website, he adds that “jury awards could be astronomical.”
The FDA and Pfizer both say that’s incorrect. There’s one vaccine, and one only. “The licensed vaccine has the same formulation as the EUA-authorized vaccine,”Pfizer told me by email that the FDA-approved vaccine is identical to the one that has been administered to millions of people around the world.Ivermectin is increasingly the subject of misinformation and ignorance. It’s a troubling sign.
