The manufacturers are telling the FDA that their vaccines are safe enough to mandate while at the same time they tell Congress that their vaccines are too dangerous to make unless they get legal immunity. Safe enough to make billions in profits; too dangerous to have to defend themselves in court against people they injure.
- JumpCrisscross 5y ago> its manufacturer and providers should not need protection from suits Lawsuits are easy to file and costly to defend against. We commonly concentrate prosecution in the hands of specialists when the public stakes are high, e.g. crime and medicine. (Also, the liability protection is only until 2024.)
- s1artibartfast 5y agoThis simply isn't true and I wonder what you are thinking of. If you get a faulty medicine or medical device, you can absolutely sue the manufacturer. If you are unreasonably imprisoned or shot by the police, you can sue them. This is how nearly all of these issues come to light and are adjudicated.
- dpatru 5y agoDoctors can normally be sued just like anyone else. They carry liability insurance. Vaccine makers are the only ones who been able to get immunity.
- ollien 5y agoI don't believe that applies anymore. That's when the vaccine is under EUA, which it no longer is for 16+.
