You realize your link confirms my statement, right? You cannot go after manufacturers.

Also, did you notice that vaccines are so safe that over $2billion in damages have been awarded to victims of UNSAFE VACCINES? Funny how that works, isnt it?

I don't think this went well for you.

I haven't made a claim regarding the safety of vaccines.

And yes, if the special court does not give the plaintiffs what they believe is adequate relief they are still free to go to the normal court system.

Your post is internally contradictory. How can people not go after manufacturers if they've paid out $2bn in a system specifically set up for assessing claims of vaccine injury? Did the manufacturers use magic to figure out who was injured and compensate them without any claim being brought? Re-think this statement.

I'm trying to be as intellectually honest here as possible and I'm not sure you are. I've met anti vaxxers. I've spent time with them, with their kids. They are almost all good people IME, I've met people who believe their kidss were vaccine injured, whether they are right or not they are all dedicated parents in tough situations. However there is a ton of unnecessary polemicism around this issue and your post is an example of this.

So let's review.

You said there was no way to sue manufacturers. This isn't true. There is a special way to do just that in a way which doesn't cause vaccine makers to go out of business simply for being accused in civil court over and over (before judgement is wrought).

You then backed your statement up by acknowledging the amount that has been paid out through the special court. Which is the opposite of the point you made.

You then embedded in your argument a response a point I haven't made. Vaccines are not completely safe. I know this. IMO they are safer than no vaccines or just letting vaccines fall below herd immunity levels.
