All vaccines were withdrawn over adverse effects, except Pfizer, facing lawsuits and a ban in Idaho.

Question

All vaccines have been withdrawn from the market due to adverse effects, except Pfizer, which faces lawsuits in five states and a ban in Idaho.

Answer 1

Have all vaccines been pulled from the market except those produced by Pfizer?

Fact-checked: False.

The FDA's website displays a lengthy list of vaccines from various manufacturers licensed for use in the U.S., which was last updated on Nov. 7, 2024. There is no evidence that non-Pfizer vaccines have been pulled from the market.

I appreciate how clear and straightforward your answer is! If you wanted to make your claim stronger, you could try to find additional articles or reputable sources and ensure many sources display the how non-Pfizer vaccines are still used and in the market. Overall great answer!

Answer 2

While some vaccines have been removed from the market in the past, the claim that all vaccines except Pfizer have been removed is false. This claim has come from a deleted post on a social media website making the source unreliable. The trusted sites listed below show the most current information surrounding available vaccinations in the US and globally.

Answer 3

The claim you make is that all vaccines, except Pfizer specifically, have been withdrawn from the market. This isn't true. Though the FDA's website shows that a lot HAVE been withdrawn, it most definitely isn't every one of them EXCEPT Pfizer. 

Also, Pfizer is only banned in 6 counties in Idaho. It isn't completely banned state-wide. That is misleading.
