Are you getting the vaccine? - Absolute trashfire thread, please enter with caution

(Air)traffic from China (cuz' remember, it was Chinese newyear at the time) should've indeed been stopped. But bleeding hearts were mad... and so the virus spread around the world.
On topic, grandpa got the second jab and now has the shits, I don't know if related.
He did not eat anything weird.
 
No I'm not getting it. Maybe when some years pass and you are able to sue the drug manufacturers for damages I'll consider it.
That doesn't happen. Vaccine manufacturers are usually entirely immunized from liability because otherwise nobody would make vaccines. If you are injured, somehow, from a vaccine there is an administrative process, separate from normal litigation, where you can get compensation, but you will never get some jackpot verdict. There are grids and charts and you get what they say you get.

The US government has given companies like Pfizer and Moderna 'immunity' from liability if something unintentionally goes wrong with their vaccines, the CNBC reported.

“It is very rare for a blanket immunity law to be passed,” Rogge Dunn, a Dallas labor and employment attorney was quoted as saying by the CNBC. “Pharmaceutical companies typically aren’t offered much liability protection under the law."

In February, US's Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar invoked the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act. This law empowers the HHS secretary to provide legal protection to companies making or distributing critical medical supplies, such as vaccines. This protection lasts until 2024.
 
This is actually not that unusual. Blanket immunity is. But it's not like there's no compensation at all, it is generally just going to come from the taxpayer. No sane company would release a vaccine and risk being completely obliterated from existence if it turned out fucked up.

You generally can't directly sue over any other vaccine, either. You have to go through an administrative process rather than normal court. Similarly, asbestos cases have grids and charts and you go through an administrative process rather than normal litigation, thanks to resolutions decades ago when it was obvious these cases were just going to go on endlessly.

Regardless I'll either wait until the blanket immunity ends. Or just not get it.
 
The article lies.
Is this one lying too?


In February, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar invoked the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act. The 2005 law empowers the HHS secretary to provide legal protection to companies making or distributing critical medical supplies, such as vaccines and treatments, unless there’s “willful misconduct” by the company. The protection lasts until 2024.

That means that for the next four years, these companies “cannot be sued for money damages in court” over injuries related to the administration or use of products to treat or protect against Covid.
 
Is this one lying too?

No, the general fact of not being able to sue over vaccines is entirely true. The blanket immunity is in fact unusual, but the situation that led to it is also unusual. The "blanket" part is what is unusual. All it means is whatever compensation system comes along when and if compensation claims start rolling in will be invented at that point.

Wow, expressing this as it actually is sounds super fucking sketchy, doesn't it?

Nah, it didn't matter by that point. The virus was already in a ton of countries by that point (like Italy, Iran, England, etc). Now if you had suggested stopping air traffic from every country, that might work, but stopping it from one of the dozen countries with it already was completely retarded and was just suggested because Trump was trying to fire up his retarded anti-China base
 
Oh no, we won't get herd immunity to an exceptionally weak virus? What a fucking tragedy. I couldn't care less who does or doesn't get it, I'm just tired of the government telling me what to do. The government has bungled the covid-19 pandemic from day one, and now that we have a vaccine, it should be fucking over.
Now I'm also going to refuse the vaccine in the hope that I get it and spread it to somebody who eventually spreads it to you and kills you, because I don't like your avatar.
 
We live in a society faggot.
