Much as been made about the possibility of schools mandating covid vaccinations for kids to be allowed to attend.
It may or may not happen. perhaps it will be treated like a flu shot. perhaps they’ll try for requirements. it’s likely to vary place to place and many states are already saying “no way” and if imposed this could cause flood of school change and really unleash the idea of vouchers and free choice and a swansong for public schools.
In the end, I’m not sure how many are crazy enough to try it and honestly, I doubt that any public school system in America could survive for long mandating this.
I doubt that this is really what the approval is about.
And that is a thing we need to fix.
Longtime gatopal™ Jennifer Cabrera has a simple, common sense solution here:
Because this law is an abomination.
It creates ALL the wrong incentives and has swollen the US pediatric vaccine schedule (which used to be 3 well tested vaxxes, MMR, DTP, polio) with ineffective or marginally effective crap lacking valid risk reward and possessing meaningful side effect tails.
The case for several (HPV, flu, rota, pneumococcal) is basically non-extant.
But hey, no liability, no need to worry.
Interestingly, Gardasil does not appear to have this coverage hence the mass of lawsuits.

Landing in court on this is not, perhaps “the system working” as this vaccine looks to have been approved and marketed on numerous false pretenses and perhaps outright fraud but it at least the system is cleaning up its mess after the fact and discouraging such behavior in the future.
And the covid vaccines put all the others in the shade in terms of corners cut and data looking dodgy. but if we shield them and other things like them from liability, where is the disincentive to act badly? (and if you just said “because the drug companies wouldn’t lie to us!” I have some Denver harbor bonds to sell you.)
You can get around this exemption by pfinding phraud, but should this really be necessary (especially when they hide the data and thus could have all sorts of little gems in it that the public had not seen)?
So how about we end this harmful “safe harbor” instead?
There is NO good consumer protection reason for this act. it’s a license for pharma to misbehave and it eliminates accountability and incentive to test properly. if you want to jab your drugs into kids, you need to own the side effects.
If you fail to predict or disclose risks, you own the ill outcomes instantly and forever.
