Doctors Against Mandatory Vaccines: Patients in Danger due to No Product Liability
The VAXXED film crew was recently in Tulsa, Oklahoma where they interviewed local physicians Dr. James Meehan and Dr. Andy Revelis about the National Vaccine Injury Compensation program, which was established 30 years ago in 1986. This law, enacted by Congress and signed into law by President Ronald Reagan, gave total legal immunity to the pharmaceutical companies that produce vaccines, and set up a special “Vaccine Court” operated by the government.
Prior to 1986, there were so many lawsuits against pharmaceutical companies for injuries and deaths due to vaccines, that the pharmaceutical lobby told Congress that they would stop manufacturing vaccines unless the government gave them immunity from lawsuits. Their products cannot survive in a free market without government intervention mandating their use, and protecting the manufactures from any responsibilities for faulty products.
Dr. Meehan states:
It was one of the most tragic decisions in the history of medicine.
Dr. Meehan states that the Vaccine Court is a huge barrier to justice, and forces the American tax payers to now pay for compensation to those injured or killed by vaccines.
The no-fault law allowed pharmaceutical companies to go from a few vaccines in the market to over three times as many, with over 200 vaccines currently under development in the pipeline. Without product liability, the emphasis now is on profits, and not product safety or efficacy.
Dr. Revelis adds:
We are now in a situation where manufacturers of Corn Flakes and Diet Coke are held to a higher standard than a medication that is injected into children and into adults throughout the world, and there is no liability to safeguard its effectiveness and its safety.

National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) Renews Call for End to Product Liability Shield for Vaccine Manufacturers During 2016 Vaccine Awareness Week
National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) Renews Call for End to Product Liability Shield for Vaccine Manufacturers During 2016 Vaccine Awareness Week
WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–On the 30th Anniversary of the enactment of the National Childhood Injury Act and during the Seventh Annual Vaccine Awareness Week Nov. 13-20, 2016, the non-profit National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) is renewing its call for an end to the 1986 product liability shield Congress gave vaccine manufacturers for injuries and deaths caused by government licensed and mandated vaccines.
In the 1986 tort reform legislation that created a federal vaccine injury compensation program alternative to product liability and malpractice lawsuits, NVIC co-founders secured vaccine safety informing, recording and reporting provisions that have not been enforced. In 2011, the US Supreme Court banned design defect lawsuits when there was evidence a drug company could have made a vaccine less reactive. Between 2011 and 2016, medical trade associations and special interest groups funded by pharmaceutical companies and government have lobbied state legislatures to remove non-medical and severely restrict medical vaccine exemptions.
“Drug companies should be liable in civil court for vaccine injuries and deaths and so should anyone giving vaccines to people being denied the human right to informed consent to medical risk taking,” said NVIC co-founder and president Barbara Loe Fisher. “There is an urgent need to hold vaccine manufacturers and doctors accountable in civil court for the safety of vaccines and how they are being given.”
The federal vaccine injury compensation program (VICP) has paid $3.5 billion to victims of vaccine injury and death, but two out of three claims are denied. Today, most of the VICP awards go to adults injured by flu vaccine and not to children injured by vaccines required to attend school.
The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986
The law preserved the right for vaccine injured persons to bring a lawsuit in the court system if federal compensation is denied or is not sufficient. By 2012, the U.S. Court of Claims had awarded over $3 billion dollars to vaccine victims for their catastrophic vaccine injuries, although two out of three applicants have been denied compensation. Below are links to the National Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 broken down into specific sections, as listed by the US Government Publishing Office. The law may also be viewed in its entirety on the US House of Representatives Office of the Law and Revision Council here.

Why is there still a vaccine/autism controversy?
Because vaccine makers cannot be sued when their vaccines kill or cripple kids. The vaccine makers lobbied congress to pass laws protecting them from all liability. Families have been blocked from getting into a REAL court to prove that vaccines have caused their child’s autism.
Utah now has the highest rate of autism in the world with 1 in 10 boys and 1 in 33 girls being inflicted with this preventable neurobehavioral disorder. Even very conservative numbers place the National average at an appalling 1 in 50. When you compare the increase in the number of vaccinated children with the number of autistic and neuro-injured over the last 60 years, they are the same.
The number of children killed and permanently maimed by vaccines far exceeds the number of Jews killed by the death camps of Nazi Germany. And just as the people of Germany turned a blind eye to that atrocity, so do many of your neighbors, politicians and doctors. They are modern deniers and won’t risk their own comfort and standing to save any of the children being slaughtered and crippled for profit.
The Canary Party presents a video on the corrupt Vaccine Injury Compensation Program to show how the federal government and pharmaceutical companies continue to get away with claiming that vaccines don’t cause autism in the face of mounting evidence that they are doing just that in a growing number of children
