- toast0 5y agoIn the US, most of the childhood vaccines have their liability covered by the US Government under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Covid-19 vaccine liability is covered by the US government under the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program. Drug companies have big pockets, but the US Government has even bigger pockets. I care more about being able to seek redress than who it's coming from.
- loonster 5y agoIts not about compensation. The companies themselves have less skin in the game. Did they lower their internal standards because they now have less to lose? edit: It doesn't matter if the vaccine manufacturers lowered their standards. It is the perception that they may have.
- pseudalopex 5y agoThe point is the companies have the usual amount of skin in the game for a vaccine.
- blooalien 5y ago> … "but the US Government has even bigger pockets." The thing people often forget about those US Government deep pockets is that they're the pockets of the US taxpayer being badly mis-managed by politicians with zero math skills.

- belltaco 5y agoThey will just ignore that and move on to the next thing. Same thing when the vaccines get full FDA approval.
