National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 (USA)

NCVIA’s purpose was to eliminate the potential financial liability of vaccine manufacturers due to vaccine injury claims in order to ensure a stable market supply of vaccines, and to provide cost-effective arbitration for vaccine injury claims.  The Justice Department was put in charge of the compensation program in an unprecedented arrangement.  Vice President George H. W. Bush encouraged the signing of this bill in spite of objections from the Justice Department.

“There are so many of them. They give them to them so quickly. Like, from the moment they’re born, they want to bang them up with vaccines.”

What very few people know about the childhood vaccine schedule is that, in the early 1980s, vaccine manufacturers were losing BIG money.

For every $1 they made off the DTP vaccine, they were losing about $20 to injury lawsuits.

So Wyeth (now Pfizer) went to the Reagan White House and demanded liability protections with the threat of getting out of the vaccine business.

President Reagan asked Wyeth why they couldn’t make safer vaccines. Wyeth answered that they couldn’t because vaccines are “unavoidably” unsafe.

This led to the signing of the 1986 Vaccine Injury Act, which gave vaccine manufacturers special liability protections.

“And so, anybody who tells you vaccines are safe and effective, the industry itself got immunity from liability by convincing the President and Congress that vaccines are unavoidably unsafe,” Robert Kennedy Jr. told Joe Rogan in a previous interview.

“Isn’t it weird that you can just lie to people, and you could force people to take things, and you could hide the side effects, and you can’t sue them?”

Vaccines are the ONLY product that you can’t sue the manufacturers directly.
