What the evidence says 01 / RECORD

In September 2009 the DOJ announced Pfizer and its subsidiary Pharmacia & Upjohn agreed to pay $2.3 billion, then the largest health care fraud settlement in DOJ history, over illegal promotion of Bextra, Geodon, Zyvox, and Lyrica for unapproved uses and kickbacks to health care providers. Pharmacia & Upjohn pleaded guilty to a criminal felony, and the $1.195 billion criminal fine was at the time the largest ever imposed in the U.S. PolitiFact and Full Fact confirm these figures but note the settlement dates to 2009 and involved Bextra, not COVID-19 vaccines, a distinction often confused in separate viral claims. Malone's characterization of Pfizer as "one of the most criminal" pharmaceutical companies is a subjective superlative rather than a verifiable ranking, but it is grounded in a well-documented record including the largest health care fraud settlement and largest criminal fine in U.S. history at the time, plus admitted kickback conduct.
