CORRECTION TO FLIER. Moderna has NOT been convicted of fraud. The Covid-19 vaccine is the first vaccine Moderna has brought to market. Moderna is currently being investigated for fraud, negligence and unlawful business practices.

SEVERAL COVID-19 VACCINE MANUFACTURERS HAVE BEEN CONVICTED OF FRAUD

While all businesses should be held to scrutiny when it comes to illegal activity, it is a deeply concerning matter when these violations directly effect the safety, health and well-being of consumers. Many pharmaceutical companies have a track record of committing fraud and ethical violations. Currently three COVID-19 vaccines, produced by Pfizer BioNTech, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson have been approved by the FDA under EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION (EUA). Moderna is a new company and this is the first vaccine the company has produced. Pfizer, on the other hand, is one of the oldest and the largest pharmaceutical companies, ranking 57th on the Fortune 500 list. 

Since 2000 Pfizer has peen penalized $4,712,210,359 for multiple offenses including racketeering, fraud and misleading the public. In 2009, Pfizer was forced to pay $2.3 billion (the largest health care fraud settlement to date) when convicted in federal court of illegally marketing four of its medications. Pfizer has also been convicted in multiple federal lawsuits and punished by the FDA over a dozen times for misleading, false, and illegal medical claims for their products - including Celebrex, Lipitor, Zoloft, Zithromax, Bextra and others. These false claims have caused harm, and even death, to hundreds of thousands of Americans. One of the most egregious of violations was the testing of the the antibiotic Trovan on Nigerian children suffering from meningitis, without parental knowledge or consent. This incident included allegations that Pfizer
 purposefully under-dosed children who they treated with the FDA-approved drug Ceftriaxone in order to skew the trial results in favor of Trovan. 11 children died as a result of the trial and many others were left blind, paralysed or brain-damaged.

​While three Covid-19 vaccines have been brought to market, several other pharmaceutical companies are in the process of developing and seeking approval for their vaccine - including AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline 
and Merck. 

With already limited safety data, there is extra concern over the the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines developed by companies who have a history of putting profits over people.
