A groundbreaking bill, H.R. 4668—the End the Vaccine Carveout Act—introduced by Rep. Paul Gosar, aims to eliminate Big Pharma’s vaccine liability protection under the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA), stripping away nearly four decades of legal immunity that has shielded manufacturers from accountability for injuries and deaths caused by their products. This legislation seeks to end a corrupt system that prioritizes corporate profits over justice, empowering victims to sue vaccine makers directly.
For years, the NCVIA has acted as a corporate shield, denying thousands of families recourse while allowing pharmaceutical giants to flood the market with potentially dangerous vaccines without fear of lawsuits. If passed, the End the Vaccine Carveout Act could dismantle this protection racket, forcing Big Pharma to face consequences, remove unsafe products, and compensate those who have suffered in silence, marking a seismic shift in holding the industry accountable.
Naturalnews.com reports: The origins of the NCVIA trace back to the early 1980s, when lawsuits against vaccine manufacturers—particularly over the DTP (diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis) vaccine—began piling up. Parents of children left with seizures, brain damage, and even death were winning multi-million-dollar settlements, threatening the financial stability of pharmaceutical companies. Instead of demanding safer vaccines, Congress caved to industry pressure, passing a law that stripped families of their right to sue.
Under the NCVIA, all injury claims were redirected to the VICP—a system critics call a “kangaroo court” where the deck is stacked against victims. The burden of proof is impossibly high, the definitions of “vaccine injury” are arbitrarily narrow, and the process drags on for years. Even when families win, compensation is often a pittance compared to the lifelong medical costs of caring for an injured child. Meanwhile, manufacturers continue raking in billions, shielded from any real accountability.
A rigged system: How the VICP denies justice
The VICP is not a court—it’s a bureaucratic maze designed to protect the industry. Unlike civil lawsuits, where discovery processes and jury trials expose corporate misconduct, the VICP operates behind closed doors. Cases are decided by a “Special Master,” not a judge, and plaintiffs are barred from presenting key evidence. Worse, the program is funded by a 75-cent excise tax on each vaccine dose—meaning the public, not the manufacturers, foots the bill for injuries.
Consider the case of Hannah Poling, a child who developed autism and encephalopathy after receiving nine vaccines in a single day. Though the government conceded her injuries were vaccine-related, her family spent years fighting for compensation. Thousands of others aren’t so lucky—their claims dismissed outright because their child’s condition isn’t on the VICP’s narrowly defined “injury table.”
COVID-19 vaccines: The ultimate liability scam
The PREP Act, passed in 2005, expanded Big Pharma’s liability shield to include “countermeasures” during public health emergencies—like COVID-19 vaccines. This meant that even as reports of heart inflammation, blood clots, and neurological damage surged, victims had no legal recourse. H.R. 4668 would strip COVID-19 vaccines of this special protection, allowing injured individuals to sue manufacturers directly.
Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson have made billions while dodging accountability. Internal documents reveal they knew about risks—like myocarditis in young males—yet downplayed them. Under the current system, they face zero consequences. But if H.R. 4668 passes, the floodgates could open, forcing these companies to answer for their negligence in real courts, before real juries.
The path forward: Restoring justice or preserving corruption?
Opponents claim repealing the liability shield would collapse the vaccine industry. But this is fearmongering. A hybrid system—where the VICP remains an option, but injured parties can also sue—would reintroduce accountability without dismantling compensation entirely.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime advocate for vaccine safety, has argued that without legal liability, manufacturers have no incentive to improve safety. “If you remove the economic penalty for negligence,” he said, “you get more negligence.”
H.R. 4668 is a critical step toward ending this injustice. It’s time to demand that vaccine manufacturers operate under the same legal standards as every other industry—no more special protections, no more buried injuries, no more profits over people.
