Highlights
Getting Vaccines on the Childhood Schedule is Very Big Business
“There’s no dynamic in American capitalism like the vaccine schedule because the second you get something on that schedule, the government is paying hundreds of billions of dollars for a product that’s then mandated for every single American [child]” [said Calley Means]… Passed by Congress in 1986, the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) removes all liability for only those vaccines on the childhood schedule, thus creating an extremely lucrative business model and a boom in the childhood vaccine market. Of course, with zero product liability, there’s no incentive to determine how or if the vaccines recommended to every American infant and child play a role in creating the chronic disease epidemic plaguing children today. And the federal government doesn’t demand the studies because it is the one pushing the schedule… Doctors went from recommending 32 doses for eight illnesses in the 1960s, to upwards of 80 doses for 18 illnesses in 2024. – Health Freedom Institute
‘We Are Told to Just Follow the Schedule’ – Pediatrician Speaks Out
Pediatrician Tara Pridgett, M.D. has been in the healthcare business for over 20 years. Dr. Pridgett brings to light the pressure put on doctors to follow orders, even if those mandates are unsound and even dangerous. – Children’s Health Defense, Aug 30, 2023, 11-min video
57% of Americans Want Vaccine Makers to Lose their Immunity from being Sued for Vaccine Injuries
More than half (57%) of poll respondents believed vaccine makers should lose their immunity from legal action and the public should be able to sue the manufacturer of a vaccine that caused them harm. – Children’s Health Defense
“It’s Only Logical”
It’s only logical: liability is a fundamental mechanism for ensuring product quality and consumer safety in any industry, and vaccines should be no exception. – James Lyons-Weiler
Vaccine Manufacturers Demanded and Received Protection from Legal Action Arising from Damage Caused by Their Products
Doctors will not give parents their personal guarantee in writing of the safety and effectiveness of the vaccines they wish to administer.
Vaccine manufacturers demand, and receive, Government protection against legal action arising from damage caused by their products.
Australia does not have a vaccine damage compensation scheme. The 20 developed countries that do have paid out literally billions of dollars in compensation for vaccine damage.
Short-term damage is highlighted on the US Government’s VAERS site.
No comprehensive studies evaluating the long-term health of fully vaccinated and unvaccinated children have ever been published, thus long-term safety is unknown.
DESPITE THESE FACTS, Australian politicians from all parties have been convinced to economically penalise parents who have genuine concerns about the safety of vaccines, and to encourage others to socially ostracise these caring and informed parents. – HomStudy, Natural Immunisation Research
In 2002, Big Pharma “Mysteriously” Infiltrated Congress to Add a Legislative Provision that Shields Drugmakers from Liability + Forced the Lawsuits Filed by Parents Over Thimerosol-Poisoning of Their Children into “The Vaccine Court” with a Statute of Limitations that Meant “Tens of Thousands of Autistic Children Were Plain Out of Luck”
Lobbyists for Eli Lilly & Company, the pharmaceutical giant, did not have much luck when they made the rounds on Capitol Hill earlier this year, seeking protection from lawsuits over a preservative in vaccines… When lawmakers rebuffed a request to slip language into domestic security legislation, a Lilly spokesman said, the company gave up. Now, in a Washington whodunit worthy of Agatha Christie, the provision has been resurrected and become law, as part of the domestic security legislation signed on Monday by President Bush. Yet in a city where politicians have perfected the art of claiming credit for deeds large and small, not a single member of Congress — or the Bush administration — will admit to being the author of the Lilly rider… The provision forces lawsuits over the preservative, developed by Eli Lilly and called thimerosal, into a special ”vaccine court.” It may result in the dismissal of thousands of cases filed by parents who contend that mercury in thimerosal has poisoned their children, causing autism and other neurological ailments. Among them are Joseph and Theresa Counter… The Counters’ 6-year-old son, Joseph Alexander, was normal and healthy until he was 2, they say. Then he took an unexplained downward slide. Today, the boy struggles with words. He cannot zip his pants, snap buttons or tie his shoes. His parents say tests eventually showed that he had mercury poisoning, which they attribute to vaccines. They sued last year… Washington is rife with speculation about who is responsible for aiding Lilly… One aide said the language mysteriously appeared in the House version of the bill in entirely different type than the rest of the measure… Earlier this year, the National Academy of Sciences issued a report saying there was no scientific evidence either to prove or disprove a link between thimerosal and brain disorders like autism. But the academy did find that such a link was ”biologically plausible,” and so it urged pharmaceutical companies to eliminate thimerosal, which has already been removed from many vaccines, as quickly as possible. The Lilly rider closes a loophole in a 1986 law that requires victims to file claims with the vaccine court, which awards payments from a taxpayer-financed compensation fund, before going to civil court. But the law covered only vaccines themselves, not their ingredients, which meant people like the Counters could sue ingredient manufacturers like Lilly directly… In the meantime, Mr. Smith, the Lilly spokesman, said his company would soon go to court to seek dismissal of the suits. That news made Theresa Counter cry. ”It just makes me sick,” she said. ”I cannot tell you how devastating it is to think that we might have to start all over.” – Sheryl Gay Stolberg, The New York Times, Nov 29, 2002
The quoted phrase in the headline above is from prologue of the 2006 book, Evidence of Harm; Mercury in Vaccines and the Autism Epidemic: A Medical Controversy by David Kirby.
Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 and PREP Act of 2005
The vaccine business has been a liability-free bonanza for pharmaceutical companies since the passage of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986. The Act explicitly acknowledges that vaccines are not entirely safe, and therefore cannot be marketed and sold as conventional pharmaceutical products because it would expose the manufacturers to unacceptably high liability risk. The rationale for the Act is the claim that vaccines are of strategic value for public health… The PREP Act of 2005 provided additional immunity to the VAX Racket, which inaugurated our present era in which the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex… needs emerging infectious diseases and aims to make sure we get one — or at least the appearance of one — every few years. – John Leake
