This is possibly outdated, but I saw a publication by “National Research Council (US) Division of Health Promotion and Disease Prevention” from 1985 stating that “A manufacturer who produces and sells a defective vaccine that creates a risk of significant injury to the recipient is liable to any person injured by that defect under the principles stated in section 402A of the Restatement of Torts. This is thought to be the law in every American jurisdiction”.
If that’s true (??), I guess lawsuits would be directed at the FDA instead. It’d be shocking if everybody involved had immunity (against lawsuits, I mean).
Whether or not you agree with the people who were concerned about the USA 2020 election irregularities, one thing you absolutely can conclude is that an entire class of people can have their lawsuits ignored with “lack of standing,” if there is any political will. This goes all the way to the Supreme Court.
Those who aren’t happy with the vaccines largely overlap with that previous group who were summarily kicked out of the judicial system. I predict there will be no lawsuits, whether or not millions of people desire there to be.
I think you’re saying that a Supreme Court with two-thirds Republican appointees won’t give popular Republican ideas a fair shake, and that the concept of “standing” has been corrupted by “political will”. Political will in the judicial branch? How does this work exactly?
‘If this were true, where are the lawsuits against the vaccine makers?’
Surely they’ve been shielded from liability so there won’t be any.
