Can you imagine how much Merck & all the other shot manufacturers would have had to pay out for harms if there was no 1986 Act immunity shield protections for them?
It's such a dirty legal game, nothing to do with actual consumer protections or real justice for harms.
Merck just settled the HPV lawsuits for $50 million. It would have been BILLIONS but shot manufacturers have immunity for harm caused by their products so it's near impossible to find an angle to sue.
That same immunity is what Big Chem is trying to get for pesticides/ herbacides after they lost in court and had to pay out billions for cancer claims.
Big Pharma call to action: Spread the word! Shools & doctors , especially in California, may coerce or mislead parents, saying that kids must have the HPV shot to attend school, but that is not true. There is no law mandating HPV for kids k-12 or college in CA.
Only VA, RI & DC mandate HPV shot for kids to attend schools and they each have a Religious Exemption you can file to opt out.
Big Chem call to action:
Call & tag your US Senator (& Congressman) and tell them to not let Big Chem get immunity protections through the farm bill or any other legislation.
BIg Chem is also goimg into Republican majority states trying to pass immunity shield legislation at stare level . Call your state Senator's and Assemblymembers and tell them to not vote for any state immunity shields for pesticides & herbacides.
