Lets people sue vaccine makers and administrators directly for injuries, ending current liability shields.
This bill would let people sue vaccine makers and those who give them directly in court for vaccine injuries or death. It ends current legal protections for these groups. It also specifically removes liability shields for COVID-19 vaccine makers and administrators. People could not get compensation from both a lawsuit and a government program for the same injury.
Today, people generally must go through the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP) for vaccine injuries before they can sue. Also, COVID-19 vaccine makers and administrators have broad liability protection. After this bill, people could directly sue vaccine manufacturers and administrators in court for injuries or death, and COVID-19 vaccines would lose their liability protections.
