Thomas Massie's New Bill Would Let People Sue Pharma for COVID Vaccine Injuries

• Reason.com

Several years after the COVID-19 vaccine's rollout, the only federal program that provides compensation for COVID vaccine injuries continues to process claims at a snail's pace while rejecting most of those claims that it does decide.

As of June 1, only 39 people have received compensation from the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) for a COVID-19 vaccine injury. It has rejected another 4,338 claims. Some 9,423 people are still waiting for the federal government to even review their case.

The long wait times and high rejection rates have prompted some lawmakers to propose repealing the liability protections created by the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act, which prevents people from suing COVID vaccine makers in state courts and leaves them dependent on the CICP as the only possible source of compensation.

Note that if anybody hides behind a law, that when he harms somebody else, the injury and the evidence/proof against him must be done man-to-man if you want to bypass that law. As long as you want to attack him as a person that the law is protecting, you will probably fail. Attack him a a man. It's always been that way. The trick is to stay as a man, and not let the courts distract you into attacking his person. But, you need real injury, and real proof that he was the one who did it to you.
