My opinion on why this is, is because these vaccines have been developed at breakneck speeds using a pretty new technique (mRNA). I believe we don’t know yet if there could be any long-term adverse effects. If there would be and lawsuits were allowed, it could instantly destroy the company, given how many people will be inoculated in the coming year(s).
