The LIABLE Act Would End Pfizer’s and Moderna’s Free Pass

Written by Daniel Horowitz

Should a product that is completely funded, marketed, monopolized, and then mandated by government be less liable than Toyota is for its airbags?

Anyone with a modicum of common sense would understand that the more a product is favored with regulatory shortcuts and other benefits only government can provide, the more the product’s makers should be on the hook for liability if it causes damage. The fact is that the federal government required millions of people — including members of the armed services — to get the jab. We know now that those injections stay in the body indefinitely and potentially alter our DNA.

Giving consumers their day in court will be the perfect way to sort out whether Pfizer’s and Moderna’s products are as safe and effective as they claim.

U.S. Representative Chip Roy (R-TX) has a remedy. The congressman on Tuesday introduced legislation that would hold Pfizer and Moderna liable retroactively for vaccine injury and death.

The LIABLE Act would strip the COVID shot manufacturers of the indemnity they currently enjoy under both the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 (because the CDC recommends them for children) and the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act of 2005.

Ideally, the NCVIA and the PREP Act should be repealed entirely. The 1986 law shields manufacturers from nearly all liability except for willful misconduct and created an extremely limited vaccine injury compensation program.

Meanwhile, the PREP Act indemnifies any “countermeasure” during a declared public health emergency and limits damage payouts to an extremely cumbersome and narrow program called the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program. Only 11 people have been compensated under the CICP — an appallingly low number, especially considering the more than 1.6 million reports of injury to VAERS, including 37,100 deaths, 214,000 hospitalizations, and nearly 70,000 reports of permanent disability.

It’s highly likely that tens of millions of people are currently without recourse for compensation from a product that was fraudulently foisted upon the American people by these companies in collusion with the federal government. Knowing that, Roy’s bill comes as welcome relief.

Although retroactive laws are generally a bad idea, in this case the Big Pharma companies deserve to own the devastation they’ve caused. Given that Roy’s bill would not impose criminal penalties, it would not violate the U.S. Constitution’s prohibition of ex post facto laws, so long as it is passed within a reasonable amount of time.

The companies continue to deny all culpability, of course — despite their own documents acknowledging widespread injury. We now have a host of court-released documents showing Pfizer and Moderna knew about injuries during clinical trials and in the early days of the vaccine’s release, yet they lied over and over about safety and efficacy.

We also now know the manufacturers distributed vials that were not used in the clinical trial and lacked the filtration to filter out DNA plasmid contamination, which is suspected of being the culprit for many of the odd disorders that are not fully explained by damage from the shot’s spike protein. Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo has called on the FDA to take these products off the market simply because of the DNA contamination, never mind the other side effects.

Pfizer documents also show that company officials knew of thousands of serious adverse effects and deaths from day one. The Informed Consent Action Network recently persuaded a federal judge to release Moderna documents that confirm the same problems. A Moderna document written for the FDA titled “CBER Requested Tables” (p. 40) shows that in the clinical trial there was a 17.4% rate of “grade 3 or grade 4 systemic” adverse reactions within seven days among those in the trial group, compared to 3.8% in the placebo group. They knew from the start that serious reactions were not rare, yet they pushed to have it injected in every arm by mandate.

It is absurd for an industry that has more wealth, government support, cultural backing, and ubiquitous lionization from the medical industry to accept less liability than Honda or Toyota. Nonetheless, Roy’s bill is a compromise to repeal indemnity for the worst vaccine of all, which has been proven to endanger every major organ system.

States can also leverage laws against the indemnification. Although the liability issue is federal, states can pass laws barring all vaccine requirements for products that are not on the hook for liability. In South Carolina, State Rep. Josiah Magnuson (R-Spartanburg County) has introduced H. 4907, which would bar mandates for all products that are exempt from liability. The bill would apply to public and private employers. You cannot force a human being to take a product that can never be held accountable in court.

The government never tells you that you must buy a Honda car or lawn mower. It doesn’t market the product for Honda, nor does it have every single cultural and medical association of repute and influence monopolizing the public square with taxpayer funding to promote automobiles. Oh, and cars don’t go in your body.

Giving consumers their day in court will be the perfect way to sort out whether Pfizer’s and Moderna’s products are as safe and effective as they claim. If they truly are safe, then they have nothing to fear.

Of course, we know they have plenty to fear.
