Given what I have seen so far, I believe every one of the above requirements can be proved. On this basis, any contracts that waive liability for injuries caused by the COVID-19 vaccines can be rendered null and void. That said, plaintiffs may wish to wait until the fraud is more widely recognized before proceeding with claims. A case that is acquitted cannot go to trial a second time.
