Oxford's Professor Carl Heneghan has extracted the main points from the case against Pfizer for its COVID-19 vaccine brought by the Kansas City Attorney General, and they're damning.

Pfizer has been fined just £34,800 for promoting its Covid vaccine before authorisation. But this is a criminal offence, say Carl Heneghan and Tom Jefferson. When will overpaid bosses face real consequences?

Pfizer has a long history of paying out vast sums in out-of-court settlements to avoid prosecution on criminal charges resulting from the fraudulent promotion and injury and death arising from use of its products.

In December 2021, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla was given the BBC's stage to promote his vaccine to children, describing it as "completely completely" beneficial. UsForThem complained that this was misleading – and won.

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla was found by the medicine regulator to have misled the public over the Covid vaccine, yet will be fined just a few thousand pounds. The system is broken and needs an overhaul, says Dr Alan Black.
