Time for Big Pharma to Pay

Jan 3, 2025

Throughout the early 1980s, pharmaceutical companies were facing massive civil lawsuits over the injuries that their vaccines were causing. The DPT (Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus) vaccine caused encephalopathy, persistent crying, hypotonic-hyporesponsive episodes (collapse episodes), seizures, chronic neurological damage, and brain damage.

Rather than make safer vaccines or pulling bad vaccines from the market, those companies leaned on Congress to protect them from any and ALL liability — even when their own studies showed they KNEW their vaccines were harming people.

If Big Pharma produces a drug that causes injury, they can be sued for damages. But if the same company produces a “vaccine,” it has absolute legal immunity no matter how many people the vaccine injures or kills.

It’s not right, and Liberty Counsel Action is fighting to overturn the law that gives Big Pharma absolute immunity for vaccines.

Overturn the Big Pharma Protection Acts! Don’t let the drug companies injure even one more person without being held liable!

Congress willingly obliged their congressional campaign funders, creating the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) of 1986. The new law was deceptively titled to give average Americans the false belief that victims of vaccine injuries would be protected from faulty vaccines.

Congress doubled down on protecting its Big Pharma donors in 2005 when it passed the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act, granting Big Pharma even more immunity protection for their vaccines.

The NCVIA and PREP laws absolved drug companies from any and all liability for the deaths and injuries vaccines caused.

No matter how many people are harmed by these multitrillion-dollar multinational corporations, the companies never pay a dime.

These laws might as well be named “Big Pharma Protection Acts.”

In American courts of law, companies are held liable for injuring people every day — except vaccine makers. Congress gave them a pass.

Vaccines are the ONLY drugs that have absolute immunity.

Recent history is replete with examples of drug companies being successfully sued by the people who were injured or killed by pharmaceutical drugs.

  • Bayer Pharmaceuticals was forced to pay more than 1.4 billion after its birth control drug Yasmin caused dangerous blood clots.

  • American Home Products was forced to pay 7.36 billion after its weight loss drug Fen-Phen was shown to cause life-threatening heart and lung damage.

  • Takeda, which manufactured the diabetes drug Actos, was forced to pay 2.3 billion to patients who suffered bladder cancer.

  • Otsuka Pharmaceuticals was forced to pay victims hundreds of millions of dollars, with more judgments to come, when its drug Abilify caused patients to develop compulsive gambling and sex syndromes.

Yet these same companies, and any others who manufacture “vaccines,” are IMMUNE from any lawsuits or damages when their vaccines harm people.

Demand the new Congress STOP PROTECTING BIG PHARMA!

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) keeps track of how many people are injured or killed by vaccines each year. As of 2017, the most recent date for which statistics are available:

  • More than 100 million children were reported to have been injured or killed by the MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccine.

  • More than half a billion children were reported to have been injured or killed by the DPT (Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus) vaccine.

  • More than 1.5 billion people were reported to have been injured or killed by the flu vaccine.

And according to the HHS website tracking vaccine injuries site (VAERS), there have been more than 1.6 million reports of COVID vaccine injuries and deaths in the United States alone. The HHS admits that these reports are likely less than 1% of all vax injuries or deaths in the U.S. due to doctors and pharmaceutical companies not reporting vax injuries and deaths as required.

But thanks to members of Congress whose campaigns were largely funded by Big Pharma and the constant pressure of pharmaceutical lobbyists, Big Pharma NEVER has to pay its victims!

So, who pays the people injured by vaccines? You and me.

Congress set up the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, whereby people injured or killed by Big Pharma’s vaccines are paid, not by the manufacturers of the faulty product, but by you and me — the American taxpayer. But, because it is such a laborious bureaucratic process, very few people complete it, and if they do, the financial award is a pittance.

Make Pharma — not taxpayers — pay for vaccine injuries.

Bought and paid for?

The pharmaceutical industry is one of the largest contributors to congressional campaigns. This election cycle, Big Pharma dumped 71.74 million dollars into political campaigns. During the same period, pharma also spent a staggering 383.96 million lobbying those same members of Congress on Capitol Hill.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Trump’s nominee to oversee HHS, has given every indication that he intends to clean up America’s disastrous food and medical supply.

But only Congress can reverse the two laws previously passed to protect their Big Pharma donors.

Our staff on Capitol Hill are working with several members of Congress to overturn these Big Pharma protection acts. But we need YOU, the faithful Liberty Counsel Action activist, to help by bombarding Congress with incessant demands to STOP letting Big Pharma harm people with faulty vaccines!

Together, we can MAKE BIG PHARMA PAY for the innumerable injuries and deaths their dangerous drugs have caused.
