The claim
A court has ruled against drugs giant Pfizer, saying the company’s chief executive had misled people about the safety of vaccines.
Rating
Missing context: Pfizer did not get found guilty in court. In fact there was no court case. No court said that the Pfizer vaccine was not safe. Instead the body run by the pharmaceutical industry’s trade body found that Pfizer’s chief executive had erred when speaking to the BBC and might have led people to believe there was no need to be worried about side effects and that benefits outweighed the risks when vaccinating young children.
