On Thursday (17th), according to the US “PREP Act”, in the United States vaccinated with Pfizer and Moderna and other companies’ vaccines, if serious side effects accidentally occur, the company enjoys complete exemption from liability, and people in the United States have almost nowhere to seek compensation.
Pfizer and Moderna have successively obtained emergency use authorizations from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the first batch of vaccines have been delivered in the United States. However, the subsequent side effects of the introduction of the new crown vaccine have become the focus of public attention.
US Dallas labor and employment lawyer Rogge Dunn said that the US federal government has granted exemptions to companies such as Pfizer and Moderna. If their vaccines accidentally go wrong, they can be exempted from liability.
Rogge Dunn mentioned that the public cannot sue the FDA, nor can they hold the employer responsible if the employer mandates vaccination as a working condition.
Rogge Dunn mentioned that the U.S. Congress has set up a fund to subsidize wage losses and medical expenses for those who have suffered irreparable harm due to standardized measures such as vaccination. However, in the past 10 years, only compensation has been paid. Less than 6%, because it may be difficult to prove that the side effects are directly caused by the new crown vaccine.
The FDA recently issued a report showing that Pfizer and Moderna’s vaccination guidelines are required to add “Bell’s palsy” (facial nerve palsy). As there is not enough data to prove that this is a side effect of the new crown vaccine, it calls on American medical frontline personnel to be worthy of careful observation.
In the intraday session on Thursday, Moderna (MRNA-US) Rose 4.50%, Pfizer (PFE-US) Rose 0.42%.
