No Pharma Liability? No Vaccine Mandates
by Barbara Loe Fisher
On February 22, 2011 the U.S. Supreme Court shielded drug companies from all
liability for harm caused by vaccines mandated by government when companies
could have made a safer vaccine.
From now on, drug companies selling vaccines in America will not be held
accountable by a jury of our peers in a court of law if those vaccines brain
damage us but could have been made less toxic.
If you get paralyzed by a flu shot or your child has a serious reaction to a
vaccine required for school and becomes learning disabled, epileptic, autistic,
asthmatic, diabetic or mentally retarded, you are on your own.
From now on - unless we stand up and draw the line on vaccine mandates - the
government can legally use police powers to force every American to get hundreds
of vaccinations or be punished while those, who are hurt by vaccination, can be
more easily swept under the rug and left to fend for themselves.
Big Pharma Blackmailed Congress in 1982
To understand how this happened, we have to turn the clock back to 1982. That is
when four big drug companies (Merck, Wyeth, Lederle, Connaught) blackmailed
Congress by threatening to stop selling vaccines in America unless a law was
passed giving them complete immunity from prosecution.
The pharmaceutical industry knew they were in big trouble because the old, crude
whooping cough vaccine in the DPT shot was causing brain inflammation and death
in many children; the live oral polio vaccine was crippling children and adults
with vaccine strain polio; and Americans were filing lawsuits to hold drug
companies responsible for the safety of their products.
Supreme Court Allows Seat Belt Injury Lawsuits
On February 23, 2011, one day after the Supreme Court blocked lawsuits against
drug companies for failing to make vaccines safer, they cleared the way for
lawsuits against car manufacturers for failing to make seat belts safer.
Civil Liability Is A Consumer Protection
In the past, civil liability has protected us from wealthy tobacco corporations
selling cigarettes that were once endorsed by doctors and the U.S. government.
