‘End the shield’: New plan would put liability for vaccine failures back on manufacturers

 By Bob Unruh

Federal law now puts taxpayers on hook for injuries, damages

Decades ago federal lawmakers decided to protect vaccine manufacturers from the liability for their failures, the injuries and damages their products may cause, putting that burden directly on the backs of taxpayers.

Now Sens. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and Mike Lee, R-Utah, want to move it back.

The push behind the original move was that protecting those manufacturers, and their financial bottom lines, from any liability for injuries and other damages from their products would encourage those financial giants to research, develop and produce more drugs.

The law immunizes “covered persons” from lawsuits and liability for losses tied to the administration of those vaccines.

But that could be changing, follow the disasters that hit many Americans during and after the China-originated COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting shots that were developed, and sold to the government for billions of dollars, then.

Side effects from those shots have included fatal events multiple times. Heart problems, muscle problems and more all have been reported and confirmed.

A report at Just the News said the new legislation, introduced in the Senate and assigned to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, would eliminate that federal liability protection.

It would instead allow those hurt and injured to file lawsuits against the manufacturers whose products are thought to be to blame.
