If concern about the contents of a pharmaceutical product is not a good reason to question whether one ought to be compelled to consume that product, I don’t know what is a good reason! Perhaps the objectionableness of the contents doesn’t stand up to further scrutiny, but I think it makes sense to ask questions- especially as the manufacturers are not liable for defective products.

There are avenues of redress for true vaccine injuries, which I know do happen, which include monetary damages being given to families. It doesn’t necessarily come from the manufacturers, but it is available.

That is true. But it is true that the companies themselves are not liable, which leads to other downstream problems.

Well, holding the companies themselves financially accountable would lead to other problems like bankruptcy and then not being able to develop any other vaccines or medicines. Holding them directly accountable would lead to many other issues; this middle way seems like the best option.

My concern is this: if the companies are not liable, what is the incentive for them to do the proper due diligence when it comes to testing their products for safety? What would it look like if, for instance, car seat manufacturers were not liable for defects in their products? Bankruptcy of vaccine manufacturers is definitely not a problem as the system stands currently, THAT is for sure! lol! So they solved that problem, absolutely.
