No Pharma Liability? No Vaccine Mandates.

By Barbara Loe Fisher
Published March 02, 2011 in Public Health Law & Courts


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.  1

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. 2 

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. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16

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.  17, 18, 19&, 20

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. 21

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; 22 the live oral polio vaccine was crippling children and adults with vaccine strain polio; 23  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. 24

Civil Liability Is A Consumer Protection

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. 25, 26 Civil liability has protected us from defective cars and toys and food and drugs that have passed federal licensing and safety standards. 27, 28, 29, 30

Civil liability put pressure on drug companies to develop and license a less toxic pertussis vaccine in 1996. 31  Civil liability put pressure on federal health agencies to replace use of a contaminated, neurotoxic polio vaccine that can paralyze people with one that cannot. 32

Parents in 1980’s Opposed Total Liability Shield

Thirty years ago the wealthiest and most powerful industry lobbying on Capitol Hill and in state legislatures – the multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical industry  - tried very hard to get total liability protection for every vaccine that government regulates, recommends and mandates. 

The only difference is that three decades ago, government officials were ordering doctors to give children 23 doses of 7 vaccines and, today, that direct order is up to 70 doses of 16 vaccines.  33, 34

The parent co-founders of the National Vaccine Information Center worked with Congress back in the early 1980’s and we refused to support any legislation that would legally let the pharmaceutical industry completely off the hook. 35

1986 Law: Pharma Liability Was The Safety Net

Parents successfully argued that, if Congress was going to give drug companies partial liability protection through the creation of a federal vaccine injury compensation alternative to a lawsuit, then language had to be written into the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 that protected a citizen’s right to sue drug companies when federal compensation was denied, or the company had the technological ability to make a vaccine less toxic but refused to do it.  36

Continued civil liability was the safety net for American consumers in that law. Continued civil liability was the leverage that gave some financial incentive for drug companies to make vaccines safer and gave some political incentive for  government officials to award federal compensation to the vaccine injured.  37 

Supreme Court Wrote Pharma A Blank Check

Now, six activist Supreme Court judges have ripped the liability safety net from the U.S. mass vaccination system and written Big Pharma a blank check by deliberately ignoring the language and legislative history of the 1986 Vaccine Injury Act. Only Justices Sotomayor and Ginsburg, in an accurate and brilliant dissenting opinion, stood up for the people. 38

Every American Pays Surcharge on Every Vaccination

Now it will be much easier for employees in government health agencies and the U.S. Department of Justice and the Vaccine Court to deny vaccine victims federal compensation, which 308 million Americans pay for through a surcharge on each one of the annual flu shots and the dozens of doses of vaccines public health officials say we all should get. 39

There is $3 billion dollars waiting to be awarded in the Vaccine Injury Trust Fund, which has already been raided by federal agencies dragging vaccine victims through years of litigation and looking for ways to deny vaccine risks. 40

130 vaccinations from birth to death

The Supreme Court has now given Pharma and evangelistic doctors a green light to lobby legislators to require every American, who lives to be 78 years old, to get more than 130 doses of government recommended vaccines starting on the day of birth through the last year of life. 41

Hundreds of New Vaccines In Development

That does not include use of any of the hundreds of new vaccines now being developed by drug companies with government approval that will be required in the future - whether those vaccines are necessary or not; whether the vaccines work or not; whether the vaccines are dangerous or not and whether the people want to use the vaccines or not. 42, 43

This is not public health. This is exploitation of a captive people by a  pharmaceutical industry seeking unlimited profits and by doctors in positions of authority, who have never seen a vaccine they did not want to mandate. 

It is a drug company stockholder’s dream, a health care consumer’s worst nightmare and a prescription for tyranny. 

Americans Forced to Get More Vaccines Than Anyone in World

Americans are required by law to use more vaccines than any other nation in the world. In no other country - not in Canada, 44, the United Kingdom, 45 Australia, 46 New Zealand, 47 the Netherlands, 48 Germany, 49 Japan 50 or in any other country are citizens subjected to mandatory use of dozens of doses of vaccines under the threat of being denied a public education and health insurance and employment. 51 52 53

There is no other word for this but tyranny.

Vaccines Are Phamaceutical Products 

Vaccines are pharmaceutical products that carry a risk of injury or death, a risk that can be greater for some than others. If a vaccine is effective, then those choosing to use that vaccine will have nothing to fear from those who make another health care choice. If a vaccine is not effective, then consumers are being asked to take two risks:  a risk they will be harmed and a risk the vaccine will not work at all. 

That is not a product that should be legally required, especially when doctors cannot predict ahead of time who will be harmed by a vaccine and there is no civil liability for the company selling it, the person giving it or the government official mandating it.

No liability?

No accountability?  

No mandates.

Stand Up for Health Freedom

If corporations are in business to make money; if doctors can make mistakes; if judges can get it wrong; if what is considered scientific truth today can turn out to be not true tomorrow; and if nobody is held accountable in the civil justice system for vaccines that could have been made safer, then now is the time for all Americans to stand up for health freedom in this great nation of ours. 

There is no freedom more fundamental than the human right to be free to decide what risks we are wiling to take with our lives or our children’s lives.

It's a lonely & thankless task to evangelize for truth & right in a world that denies both. Praying the living & true Creator God's blessing & protection in the battle. Neither government nor business denying & rebelling against His standards, & refusing to admit their limitations & need before Him can help us ---let alone save us. Trust in relative & arbitrary --random--- 'gods' lead to relative & arbitrary 'justice.'

As a parent of a vaccine damaged child, I am not surprised by the Feb 22 US Supreme Court ruling. I have experienced, first hand, the decete, cover-up, denial, and fear-mongering the medical society participates in; contributing to the multi-billion dollar industry that has no regard for our stories. The NCVIA '86 law was to compensate victims...but was more so passed to protect manufacturers. Law states doctors are to report adverse events, yet that same law protects the same physicians, to not holding them legally liable if they fail to report an adverse event. Most doctors do not facilitate families of this program information; thus, causing parents to being denied due to the statute of limitations for the program. I completely respect and am grateful for NVIC, and all of their individual and personal hard work and effort, they put into educating and informing others. We must continue to stand and work together, because the Government will never look out for our children. This is all about profit gain, greed and control. And, I am afraid, what I predicted years ago, that the government (including the highest courts) will protect the corporations. Our country is being run by corporations which pay our government big dollars to protect them. Most of us know what is going on here...I am just very happy that NVIC is unintimidated and remains honest and forthright with informing all of us. Thank you NVIC!

I am a new mom (still pregnant of my first son) soon I will have to make a choice (the first 12 hours in the hospital I will have to decide to give or not the Hep B shot) and I am so confused and freaking out. More I read more confused I get, no clear options. What is the solution? spread out the vaccines?, not give any vaccine? Give few vaccines...? Is it something that we can do about it? I feel so helpless! Thank you Catia

Looking at your situation from Cape Town, South Africa, I am truly appalled at whats happening in your country. I think that Big Pharma has now crossed the line, and this could lead to some form of showdown. I do however beleive that good will overcome evil. Hopefully without too much loss of life.

It is terrifying to see the mothers killing and harming their babies and insisting that vaccines are the only reason their child is alive. I was sick to my stomach today as I witnessed a very stressed 6-9 month old baby looking like acid reflux was tearing him up. The look on the face says it all. It was at a mall playground and I told the grandmother the baby had the same look my son had (in my IGNORANT days about vaccines. She confirmed that was the case. I shared about how vaccines are causing this and it was the grandmother who was not so opposed to that truth. Though she said I did not know that. I told her about how probiotics will help the baby's digestive system and important it was to be alkaline. The mother told me how her son older 2 year old son had almost died from the "retrovirus" and if she had not given her son the THREE retro virus vaccines her son would have surely died. I asked her if she possibly considered that maybe the vaccines caused her sons "retrovirus". Absolutely not she answered and I was horrified for her children as she was so brain washed. She literally believes the very things that are making her kids sick is helping them. Her children will suffer greatly as many children do at the hands of the MISLED. I think MISLED is a kinder truth, though any intelligent person should know that the side effects of the vaccines are real and contradictive to a strong immune system. My heart breaks for the children but I am blessed that my three younger children know the truth and do not allow their children to be poisoned with vaccines. My children and their children are healthy, NEVER sick and NEVER had a need for antibodics which also do great damage to the immune system. Pray for the mothers of this nation. If you could reach the million moms group that would be such a blessing. They now have groups called the millions dads. I have tried to reach Pastors, but the idolatry of "science" and "medicine" is blinding them and the sheep. THey don't even question that science is limited to the lie of evolution, even in health care. I have had people think I was the villian for sharing the truth about vaccines or that God has NOT withheld cancer cures,but that will not stop me from telling the truth. God is the Cure and we are the stewards who nourish or poison God's Temple. God's Word in the DNA is not a program, but a LIVING WORD for IN HIM (His Word) we live and move and have our being.

@EllenDiann we are one in the same. I try to educate other mothers as much as possible. Both my sister and I were very sick as babies from asthma to autoimmune thyroid disease. My sister vaccinated her twin daughters and both have severe asthma and both use steroid treatments. It is amazing how some cannot connect the dots. Unfortunately it is a constant battle with my sister, she like so many others believe its normal to have sick children...Leading by example is the only way to prove vaccines do more damage then good.. My son is almost 2yrs old and we only see his doctor for well visits. He is calm and attentive and extremely smart for his age.. He identifies every alphabet capital and small and counts from 1 to 11...If he comes down with a cold he is still active and it goes within a couple of days.. My hope is for more parents to do the research and educate themselves. US has the highest infant mortality rate.. Higher then 33 countries with non-aggressive vaccine schedules.. Parents need to start using common sense and start parenting and stop listening to CDC and Big Pharma Paid Pediatricians..

This is a big issue in our country. There are a large number of vaccine clinical trials taking place right now, which are working to develop new vaccinations for diseases such as meningitis and the flu. While I agree that people should not be coerced into getting vaccinated, I like the freedom to get vaccinated if I chose. I think that without available vaccinations for the flu, we could be faced with another widespread pandemic. I don't know about you but I'd rather not have to experience something like the 1918 flu pandemic.

Parents should do their own research and trust their instincts. We are definitely over-medicating children in the United States and we have no idea of the long-term affects. It is sad when profits come before the health and safety of children.

Ignore the political spin that says HPV is bad medicine. HPV vaccines are useful and safe. The only political question worth asking any GOP candidate is, do they favor universal HPV vaccination for every young American woman and how do they propose to make that happen? Arthur Caplan, Ph.D., is director of the Center for Bioethics at the University of Pennsylvania. What an uninformed individual Arthur Caplan is. HPV vaccines have killed numerous young girls and women and injured thousands. It's all about profit for big pharma companies. WAKE UP AMERICA!

Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for providing yet another really interesting article. As before, I feel like there is solid evidence for the benefits that vaccines have provided. Just like Stephen said, no one wants to experience something like the 1918 epidemic again. However, I do feel that making vaccinations mandatory is not the right move to make. This is a free country right? A parent should not have to jump through hoops just because they don't want their own child vaccinated.

I'm angry my son has food allergies to the milk protein casein, eggs and Oat. Those are three staples in a healthy human diet and I'm convinced he developed these allergies after getting vaccines with these foods as ingredients. I can't believe the government is mandating vaccines at a record high and no one is being held accountable for all these food allergies kids have nowadays it makes me.sick thatour government officials can be bought for a price and that money is more important to them than the health and well-being of our children. It's time the American people take a stand up to big Pharmaceutical companies and crooked government officials. What's going on is wrong. What ever happened to our right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?

I was a victim of bad vaccination back in the late 60's. Immediate (as my mom tells me) reaction. 106 degree fever. Eyes rolling all around. Sick for weeks after. Learning disabilities, and most of all LIFETIME gastrointestinal issues. NEVER NEVER NEVER any more vaccinations for me or my children ever again. I will protect my rights till the very end using any means necessary

Taking a gander at your circumstance from Cape Town, South Africa, I am really horrified at whats occurring in your nation. I believe that Big Pharma has now gone too far, and this could prompt some type of confrontation. I do anyway beleive that positive attitude defeat fiendish. Ideally without an excess of death toll.
