Your link demonstrates that vaccines get special treatment rather than being treated like regular pharmaceuticals.

  It also demonstrates that they can be held liable. "should be liable for their products" has an overarching implication that there's no liability. My own anecdata from the last few years is that the majority of anti-vax people parrot the line that "vaccine manufacturers are exempted from all liability"... which is patently false.

    The extremely paltry claims paid out by the VICP are funded by an excise tax on all vaccines, it's not any kind of scenario where a manufacturer is on the hook in proportion to their responsibility for causing damages.

      That itself might be somewhat politically influence(?) If memory serves, VICP claims used to be on the whole larger and/or more proportional, but that was a couple decades back.
