It's up to Pfizer, I suppose. But suing for defamation is an expensive game and not worth it unless you have a Defendant who can pay loads of dosh for damages and costs.
The only winners are the lawyers.
As in the recent Vardy v Rooney debacle.

I can't see his case standing due to privelege laws that grant protection from civil or criminal liability for stateent made in Parliament: Parliamentary privelege
Companiies can sue for libel, defamation and impose injuctions or super-injunctions in the UK - it's happened thousands of times. Carter-Ruck are the main law firm companies use to do this.

Bridgen has form for making stupid and offensive comments, by the way:
www.bbc.co.uk...
That seems like an honest mistake unlike the ones we are seeing over on this side of the big pond. I would take his mistakes over Biden's and Pelosi's any day if that is what you have against Brigden. He bothered to apologize., and sincerely it appears too.

25 leading scientists, doctors and researchers from Israel, the UK, Canada and the USA sent a letter to Installed Prime Minister Sunak to protest the weaponisation of anti-Semitism in what is clearly a political assassination of Member of Parliament Andrew Bridgen for raising well-established concerns regarding harms caused by covid injections
The letter from the group of Jewish doctors and scientists backs up an article in which Mark Pickles makes the point that using the false charge of anti-Semitism as a means to deflect debate is in itself a dangerous trivialisation of anti-Semitism:
The label “anti-Semite” that the Conservative Party evidently wants to attach to Bridgen is a merely a confusion tactic, Pickels noted. Any other smear would have done, such as “racist” or “homophobe” or “bully.” It seems that Bridgen was asking too many questions of the Establishment’s covid vaccine narrative, and an ad hominem attack was needed urgently

British politics are sometimes very fascinating and in this case the Conservative Leadership has put itself in a very difficult position.
They have made Andrew Bridgen very popular. But he was already popular as he was raising very legitimate questions in relation to the Covid vaccines and rightfully so.

I disagree for two reasons.
The Conservative Party is an omnishambles. It is beset by national and internal problems that would challenge a Churchill or a Thatcher while shackled to an ineffectual leader.
Second, Bridgen is a non-story. He's just one more Tory feck up. On a scale of one ten of political significance, he struggles to reach a one. Even when he sues an ex-health minister for £100k, he only makes some of the papers and even then as a novelty story. Jeremy Clarkson - a past-his-sell-by-date TV presenter who made some tacky comments about someone or other - got more attention from the press and, significantly, from the usual faux freedom campaigners like Toby Young.
The British government has successfully communicated the idea that COVID is over, done, last year's story, something dealt with two prime ministers ago - while, incidentally, fitting state of the art filtration equipment into Parliament.
Given more serious restrictions of freedom of speech, such as last year's Crime and Police Act and proposals to limit the right to strike, the Bridgen saga is likely to remain a very minor distraction.

these scumbags use the media to throw at us
excuse after excuse when they screw up, but in this case,
they throw accusation after accusation at us until they
finally get a reaction, then using that accusation ,
POUND IT INTO OUR SKULLS 24-7
until they believe enough of us are ok withit
then they can go ahead and do it,....
then they start giving the excuses for their justification
and that dont include the social engineering with artificial intelligence
using supercomputers.... and whatever other tricks they use on us
