Pfizer fiction

MANHATTAN — Petitioning the entity DreamHost for pre-action discovery, Pfizer says it needs to identify the operators of a website called the Conservative Beaver so it can sue them for defamation regarding a Nov. 5 post filled with untrue conspiracy theories, including that the drugmaker's CEO had been arrested and would face life in prison for lying about the efficacy of Pfizer's vaccine against Covid-19, and that his wife died from the vaccine after he forced her to take it against her will.
