    WASHINGTON, DC — On Tuesday, Representative Chip Roy (R-TX-21) introduced the Let Injured Americans Be Legally Empowered (LIABLE) Act, a bill that would empower Americans to hold COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers liable for any losses their vaccines caused.

    Representative Roy said, “The long train of abuses committed by the government and public health establishment in response to COVID-19 will continue to impact the American people for years to come.

    Millions of Americans were forced to take a COVID-19 shot out of fear of losing their livelihoods and under false pretenses. Many have faced injury from the vaccine, but few have been afforded little recourse. To date, a mere 11 injury claims have been paid out despite nearly 700 million doses of the vaccine having been administered.

    I am introducing the LIABLE Act to empower Americans to remove crony federal liability protections for COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers and empower injured Americans. The American people deserve justice for the infringement on their personal medical freedom and those medically harmed deserve restitution.”

    COVID-19 vaccines are considered “countermeasures” under the Public Readiness and Preparedness (PREP) Act, which broadly shields their manufacturers from civil liability related to losses stemming from the vaccines. Instead, injured Americans must seek relief under the onerous Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) – but only 11 COVID-related claims have been paid out of CICP.

    The LIABLE Act would empower injured Americans by:

    • Removing all federal liability protections for the COVID-19 vaccine;
    • Preserving the ability of injured Americans to access pre-existing compensation programs; and
    • Specifying the bill is retroactive to ensure Americans who received the COVID-19 vaccine before the bill is enacted benefit.
    Co-sponsors of the bill include Representatives Lauren Boebert (R-CO-3), Josh Brecheen (R-OK-2), Eric Burlison (R-MO-7), Michael Cloud (R-TX-27), Warren Davidson (R-OH-8), Bob Good (R-VA-5), Clay Higgins (R-LA-3), Thomas Massie (R-KY-4), Mary Miller (R-IL-15), Barry Moore (R-UT-1), Ralph Norman (R-SC-5), Randy Weber (R-TX-14), Troy Nehls (R-TX-22), Andy Harris (R-MD-01), Paul Gosar (R-AZ-09), Eli Crane (R-.AZ-02), Russ Fulcher (R-ID-01), Scott DesJarlais (R-TN-04), and Andy Biggs (R-AZ-05).

    Supporting organizations of the bill include Children’s Health Defense and React19.

    More support for this legislation:

    "Thank you to Congressman Roy for championing this vital legislation. The Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) has failed those injured by COVID-19 vaccines. The program is wholly inadequate and inconsistent with constitutional principles in providing just redress. The damages and fatalities caused by the COVID-19 vaccine demand accountability. This legislation represents a critical milestone in rectifying these injustices and paving the way for a more accountable future. This legislation is crucial for holding vaccine manufacturers accountable.” - Mary Holland, President of Children's Health Defense

    Grandstanding, deflecting BS.

    Consumers need much better protection from drug company products. Let's see them propose something more than this drop-in-the-bucket measure.

    So the drug companies got the Federal protection from being sued so they would "fast track" their vaccines.
    No matter how misguided that was, trying to rescind it now would be wrong.

    The American public got hosed by the government over COVID, either because government had evil intent or was just stupid. Doesn't matter. It's done. We need not forget this travesty.

    The Scamdemic and its poison shots were not a mistake, they were deliberate, and crimes against humanity.

    Sigh, ridiculous one-liner bare-assertion yet again. It was not a scam in any way shape or form.
    A lie, there was no poison in the vaccines and they were the reason the pandemic came to an end.
    MEH!
    Bloviating nonsense.

    Why is legislation required? If someone was harmed by a vaccine and can prove it, they should be able to sue.

    From now on Pharm is on it's own. If they can't afford to make new drugs tell them to move and partner up with China! China doesn't care about money if they can poison us cheap enough.
    Big pharma didn't want to do Covid until Trump made them. They saw a loser from the get go. He told them to "do you duty or else".
    Pharma is in the business of making drugs that make them money. They don't make money on public health, they only make money on patented high tier and cash purchases of prescriptions. Once the patent expires it's off to India for generics.

    It appears from your question you are unaware of the 1986 act signed by Reagan The Conservative. The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Compensation Act essentially gives immunity to Pharma for their dangerous shots.

    The cuckoo crowd.

    I notice the sponsors didn't waste time crafting a lengthy bill given it has absolutely no chance of getting passed,

    False! The whole idea behind it was to stop bandwagon claims that made production of the vaccines non-cost-effective. The claims process was made into a more robust and fairer process shortly afterwards. Tell the viewers why you miss out this part (below) of the pathetic antivaxx "factoid"!

    National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program - Wikipedia
    "The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services set up the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) in 1988 to compensate individuals and families of individuals injured by covered childhood vaccines.[3] The VICP was adopted in response to concerns over the pertussis portion of the DPT vaccine.[1] Several U.S. lawsuits against vaccine makers won substantial awards. Most makers ceased production, and the last remaining major manufacturer threatened to do so.[1] The VICP uses a no-fault system for resolving vaccine injury claims."

    "Since its inception to May 2023, it has awarded a total of $4.6 billion, with the average award amount between 2006 and 2020 being $450,000, and the award rate (which varies by vaccine) being 1.2 awards per million doses administered. The Health Resources and Services Administration reported in July 2022 that "approximately 60 percent of all compensation awarded by the VICP comes as result of a negotiated settlement between the parties in which HHS has not concluded, based upon review of the evidence, that the alleged vaccine(s) caused the alleged injury".[2] Cases are settled to minimize the risk of loss for both parties, to minimize the time and expense of litigation, and to resolve petitions quickly.[2]"

    Statistically the claim these are "dangerous shots" is dangerous misinformation.
    Total vaccinations = 3,454,305,356 Total awards = 4,153
