The President will sign a budget bill containing a provision for immunity for manufacturers of certain vaccines. I cannot track down the legislation itself but here is an ATLA summary of it:
“The liability provisions allow the Secretary of HHS to declare that a drug, device, or vaccine is a covered countermeasure for a pandemic, epidemic, or potential public health emergency. Once a product is covered, the manufacturer is provided immunity for even reckless misconduct. The bill does not even provide a compensation fund for injured patients. Instead it established a compensation process, but appropriates no funding to provide compensation for those who are injured.”
