Upstream of the current sad state of public health affairs was the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, an extremely generous gift to the pharmaceutical industry from the alleged representatives of The People.

The Act included, among other provisions favorable to the pharmaceutical industry, the total offset of any liability held by vaccine manufacturers, with the burden for injuries caused by vaccines instead falling on the federal government through the publicly-subsidized “National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program."

Compensation for vaccine-induced injury or death was limited to $250,000; no punitive damages are allowed under the scheme; no admission of fault was required on the part of the vaccine manufacturers.

From the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986:
“Subtitle 2: National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program - Part A: Program Requirements - Establishes the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program as an alternative remedy to judicial action for specified vaccine-related injuries.
Prescribes the contents of any petition for compensation.
Grants U.S. district courts authority to determine eligibility and compensation. Requires the district court in which the petition is filed to designate a special master to serve as an adjunct to the court. Sets forth the responsibilities of the court.
Lists factors to be considered when determining the amount of a compensation award. Sets forth a table of injuries deemed vaccine-related for compensation purposes. Permits the Secretary of Health and Human Services to: (1) promulgate regulations to revise such table; and (2) recommend changes to the vaccines covered by the table.
Provides that compensation awarded under the Program shall be paid out of the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Trust Fund. Limits awards for actual and projected pain and suffering and emotional distress to $250,000. Prohibits awards for punitive damages.
Establishes the Advisory Commission on Childhood Vaccines to: (1) advise the Secretary on the implementation of the Program; (2) recommend changes to the Vaccine Injury Table; and (3) recommend research priorities.
Part B: Additional Remedies - Sets forth procedures under which the person who filed a petition for compensation under the program may elect to file a civil action for damages.
Provides that no vaccine manufacturer shall be liable in a civil action for damages arising from a vaccine-related injury or death: (1) resulting from unavoidable side effects; or (2) solely due to the manufacturer's failure to provide direct warnings. Provides that a manufacturer may be held liable where: (1) such manufacturer engaged in the fraudulent or intentional withholding of information; or (2) such manufacturer failed to exercise due care. Permits punitive damages in such civil actions under certain circumstances.”

No other industry manufacturing consumer products, aside from the vaccine industry, enjoys this level of privilege in terms of blanket immunity from liability for the damages caused by its products.
This arrangement, provided by Congress, is a corrupt abomination that serves the interests of the already massively profitable pharmaceutical industry, undermines public trust in public health, and endangers the American citizenry that the Congress is ostensibly meant to serve — a public which is often required, to add insult to injury, to take these vaccines in order to attend work or school — by significantly reducing the incentive on the part of vaccine manufacturers to ensure the safety of their products.

The time is long past to repeal the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 and return sanity to the legal system by holding vaccine manufacturers to the same standards as any other industry.
