In the UK and USA, as well as in many other countries, manufacturers such as Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson and Oxford AstraZeneca cannot be legally taken to court for damages due to their vaccines. They have been granted protection from all liability. Are you comfortable with using a product which safety cannot be guaranteed by the people who produce it?
Governments have agreed that due to the urgency of the situation and the rush with which these vaccines have been produced, they should not be held responsible if anything goes wrong. In the UK, you may be entitled to a one-off payment (£120,000) in case of severe disability caused by the vaccine – but do not expect any compensation from the pharmaceutical industry. That is definitely a win-win situation for them, so why should they be concerned about our safety? Sadly, their only incentive is money.
Carlo Brusa, a lawyer in France, has filed a complaint asking that people be able to request a signed declaration from their doctors before receiving the COVID vaccine. In this declaration, doctors giving the vaccine would guarantee their legal responsibility in case of any harm caused…
“First do no harm…” No doctor who abide by their hypocratic oath would be able to sign this.
