Pfizer CEO Defends Liability Shield for Vaccine Makers Amid Growing Concerns

In a recent CNBC interview, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla defended the legal protection granted to vaccine manufacturers against liability for vaccine injuries. Bourla argued that in a litigious environment, individuals could falsely claim that events like car accidents were caused by vaccines, which could lead to unwarranted lawsuits. He pointed out that without this liability shield, the pharmaceutical industry could face endless legal claims.

Bourla also addressed the claims of figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who criticized the lack of safety studies on vaccines, particularly the COVID-19 shots. Despite differences, Bourla expressed his intent to work with both Kennedy and President Donald Trump on broader health initiatives.

The law protecting vaccine makers from liability was established under the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act and extends to COVID-19 vaccines through the PREP Act, which makes it difficult for individuals to seek compensation through traditional court routes. Instead, those injured by vaccines must turn to special compensation programs, which have faced criticism for their stringent eligibility criteria and low payout rates.

This issue has gained heightened attention amid widespread dissatisfaction with the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. A recent poll revealed that a significant portion of the public believes people should be allowed to sue vaccine manufacturers for harm caused by their products. Calls for further investigation into vaccine safety and even a suspension of the COVID-19 vaccines are growing, with some prominent figures urging a reevaluation of their use.
