1. The reputation of the manufacturer
Pfizer and its subsidiaries have paid fines and settlements for price fixing, misleading advertising, racketeering fraud, illegal marketing, bribery and dumping toxic waste. In 2009 it agreed to pay $2.3 billion to settle civil and criminal allegations it had illegally marketed its painkiller Bextra. In 2011 Pfizer paid $75 Million to settle in a Nigerian court for using an experimental antibiotic, Trovan, on children without informed consent. Leaving many children dead and others with brain damage and paralysis. Pfizer had violated international law, including the Nuremberg Convention established after WWII as a result of Nazi experiments on unwilling prisoners.
Decide for yourself whether you would accept a product from this company.
2. Pfizer demands immunity from liability
A condition of sale is that they can’t be sued if things go wrong. I won’t use their product if they won’t stand behind it.
3. It’s not a vaccine as we knew it
Traditional vaccines contain weakened or inactive parts of a particular organism that triggers an immune response within the body. The Pfizer vaccine is referred to by the Lancet and Pfizer themselves as gene therapy. Do the research on the history of mRNA-based drugs and make up your own mind whether using them on healthy people is a good idea. A few years is a prudent time to wait to assess a novel therapy, especially if you hope to have children.
