The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) made the announcement, citing the “credible risk” that COVID-19 may still pose a threat in the future. However, the timing of this decision is likely aimed at protecting these companies from potential lawsuits and liabilities when Trump takes office.
Pharmaceutical giants protected at the expense of public safety
By shielding vaccine makers from legal consequences, the Biden administration has effectively set up a system where companies have little to no incentive to ensure the safety and efficacy of their products. This move is particularly concerning given the mounting evidence of serious health complications linked to the COVID-19 vaccines.
Reports of vaccine-related injuries and deaths have been increasing, yet the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP), the mechanism meant to support victims, has been woefully inadequate. According to data from the CICP, out of 13,520 claims filed, only 65 were determined to be eligible for compensation, with only 18 actually being actually compensated. The average payout of just over $24,000 falls far short of covering the extensive medical costs and lost wages many victims face.
No accountability, no motivation for safety
The decision to extend the liability shield is a clear example of corporate interests superseding public health concerns. With no fear of legal repercussions, pharmaceutical companies have little motivation to provide the public with safe and effective solutions. This lack of accountability not only undermines public trust but also perpetuates a system where the interests of profit take precedence over individual well-being.
The extension also gives protection to the health professionals who prescribe and administer these vaccines, such as pharmacists and pharmacy techs, and it covers diagnostics and other devices used for treating the virus as well.
The extension of liability protection comes at a time when there is a growing call for vaccine safety reviews. Critics argue that vaccines should be covered under the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), a system traditionally used for childhood vaccines that offers more substantial compensation and support to victims. However, the Biden administration’s move to shield vaccine makers from liability through 2029 essentially closes this avenue for redress.
