Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis is calling for a public inquiry after a Pfizer executive conceded that the company didn’t test its COVID-19 vaccine for its ability to stop transmission before it went on the market.

“We need an inquiry. Politicians and health experts promised Canadians that the vax would prevent transmission. Pfizer admits it never tested for that. [Its] executives sat in silence while trusted officials gave incorrect info to the public. That’s just wrong,” Lewis wrote on social media on Oct. 15.
