Another reason to avoid the swine flu vaccine. No one will be held legally accountable.

ATLANTA (AP) - The last time the government embarked on a major vaccine campaign against a new swine flu, thousands filed claims contending they suffered side effects from the shots. This time, the government has already taken steps to head that off.

Vaccine makers and federal officials will be immune from lawsuits that result from any new swine flu vaccine, under a document signed by Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius, government health officials said Friday.

Since the 1980s, the government has protected vaccine makers against lawsuits over the use of childhood vaccines. Instead, a federal court handles claims and decides who will be paid from a special fund.

****, whether or not you believe it's a conspiracy or not folks, this is troubling, I think any death they cause they are liable for, one death is too many if they are claiming to prevent us from dying from this sickness and they end up killing us.

Yep.
Like the article says, vaccine makers have been protected from liability for quite awhile now. An obvious sign that this is not in the best interest of the individual, but rather the corporations.

Here is a link to the US Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Apparently it is funded by a tax on the vaccines themselves.

From their website:
In the early 1980s, reports of harmful side effects following the DTP (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis) vaccine posed major liability concerns for vaccine companies and health care providers, and caused many to question the safety of the DTP vaccine. Many parents began filing lawsuits against vaccine companies and health care providers. This, in turn, caused many of the companies that developed and produced vaccines to leave the marketplace, creating significant vaccine shortages and a real threat to the Nation’s health.
Since its inception, the VICP has been a key component in stabilizing the U.S. vaccine market by providing liability protection to both vaccine companies and health care providers.
Because the market is what matters.

Yeah personally I don't think the flu was mad by anyone, I just think the hype was, they over hype the danger of the flu in the early stages so they get the contracts to sell the Vaccine.
