Republican Bill Eliminates Covid âVaccineâ Maker Protections to Unleash Wave of Lawsuits

A new Republican bill seeks to eliminate the protections afforded to vaccine manufacturers that prevent them from being sued for killing and injuring citizens with Covid mRNA shots.
The legislation was proposed by Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ).
Gosarâs bill seeks to âamend the Public Health Service Act to end the liability shield for vaccine manufacturers and for other purposes.â
Under the bill, all vaccine makersâ waiver of liability would end in a sweeping proposed legal change in the form of a rejection of the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Act.
The legislation is titled, âEnd the Vaccine Carveout Act.â
Gosar, a major supporter of President Donald Trump, represents a vast strip of heavily rural western Arizona that reaches the fringe western edges of the Phoenix suburbs.
The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 (NCVIA) established the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP).
The NCVIA was signed into law by President Ronald Reagan on November 14, 1986.
The NCVIAâs goals were to:
- Ensure a stable supply of vaccines
- Stabilize vaccine costs
- Provide a cost-effective way to resolve vaccine injury claims
- Protect vaccine manufacturers from financial liability
The VICP is a no-fault alternative to the traditional U.S. legal system for resolving vaccine injury claims.
Individuals who believe they were injured by a covered vaccine can file a petition with the VICP.
The VICPâs process involves the United States Court of Federal Claims and special masters.
The system provides compensation for medical care, rehabilitation, counseling, vocational training, pain and suffering, and diminished earning capacity.
If a vaccine-related death occurs, surviving family members receive $250,000.
The program is funded through the collection of a 75-cent excise tax on vaccine manufacturers for every dose of those vaccines that Congress includes in the program before they are allowed to pursue a civil action for an amount greater than $1,000.
The VICP was created after lawsuits against vaccine manufacturers and healthcare providers threatened to reduce vaccination rates and cause vaccine shortages.
So, under this current law, persons injured from a vaccine must first seek and either accept or reject compensation from the VICP.
Gosarâs package of documentation associated with the bill includes research into why the current laws create too many victims, compromised science, state-backed profit grabs, and more.
Many people adversely affected by vaccines have no options.
In civil cases outside of the VICP, for example, a plaintiff cannot earn compensation for certain âunavoidableâ injuries.
Additionally, any case that rests âsolelyâ on a manufacturerâs âfailure to provide direct warnings to the injured partyâ will simply be tossed out by the judge.
Or on the contrary, a plaintiff must prove that the vaccine manufacturer either committed âfraud,â or intentionally withheld âinformation relating to the safety or efficacy of vaccines.â
If a pharmaceutical company âfailed to exercise due careâ in following federal law regulating vaccines, the claim must be backed up âby clear and convincing evidence.â
The current legislation from a consumer protection lens creates a nearly impossible bar to surpass for many classes of plaintiffs and places limitations on those who do suffer from injury or loss of life of a loved one, for example.
Problematically, Gosarâs bill notes that âThere is an unfortunate lack of science regarding the safety of vaccines.â
For this claim of a lack of science behind the vaccines, Gosarâs bill includes a citation to The Institute of Medicine (IOM), renamed the National Academy of Medicine (NAM).
NAM is a nonprofit composed of top medical and health professionals that was founded to assist the U.S. government.
The organization published a report in 2011 entitled âAdverse Effects of Vaccines: Evidence and Causality.â
According to the billâs supporting documentation, âAlthough federal agencies insist that vaccines are safe, there is an unfortunate dearth of science relating to studies exonerating vaccines from causing dangerous side effects.â
Gosarâs bill calls on lawmakers to âend the liability shield for vaccine manufacturers.â
If passed, certain sections of the current law would be amended.
It would allow full litigation for damages against pharmaceutical companies manufacturing vaccines.
As a result, Covid vaccine manufacturers would face a wave of lawsuits from those injured by mRNA shots and the families of those who were killed by the shots.
