Mentioned in the article, AstraZeneca is already covered under PREPA in the US
PREPA removes the right to a jury trial for persons injured by a covered vaccine, unless a plaintiff can provide clear evidence of willful misconduct that resulted in death or serious physical injury. The act instructs the HHS secretary to write regulations "that further restrict the scope of actions or omissions by a covered person" that constitute willful misconduct.

- RobertRoberts 6y agoWhy isn't it publicly available knowledge about who won damages against vaccine makers like every other court case? The motives behind this protection are hidden.
- olliej 6y agoThey really aren’t - if they’re open to liability claims from a vaccine they developed in months, vs the usual decade+ timeframe there is no reason for them to distribute the vaccine. If anything it actively compels delaying so that they can get a better idea of the risk. Whether or not you think the trade off is worth it is reasonable. Spouting nonsense about “hidden” reasons is conspiracy theory nonsense.
- RobertRoberts 6y ago> "... there is no reason for them to distribute the vaccine." If this were true, then it would apply equally to all medicines with the same risk levels. But it doesn't.
