The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 is a landmark law that established a compensation program for individuals claiming vaccine-related injuries. It serves as the legal foundation for providing vaccine manufacturers with immunity from liability for adverse effects associated with their products. This legislation aimed to ensure a stable supply of vaccines while addressing public concerns about vaccine safety.
“The only product in America where you cannot sue to say had you made that product safer, my child wouldn't be dead... our childhood vaccines and child vaccines used by adults, it's the only one. And that's because of a law called the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986. It gave pharma companies that incredibly special immunity.”
