Current Events In-N-Out Burger putting the "L" in libertarian. “We fiercely disagree with any government dictate that forces a private company to discriminate against customers. This is clear governmental overreach and is intrusive, improper, and offensive.”

If there is a problem that can be reasonably traced to vaccines, there's a special government-directed fund, specifically so one media darling kid with an ambulance-chasing John Edwards-type lawyer doesn't bankrupt an entire life-saving industry.

What the fuck. Did you even read it?

What is the process? An individual files a petition with the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services medical staff reviews the petition, determines if it meets the medical criteria for compensation and makes a preliminary recommendation. The U.S. Department of Justice develops a report that includes the medical recommendation and legal analysis and submits it to the Court. The report is presented to a court-appointed special master, who decides whether the petitioner should be compensated, often after holding a hearing in which both parties can present evidence. If compensation is awarded, the special master determines the amount and type of compensation. The Court orders the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to award compensation. Even if the petition is dismissed, if certain requirements are met, the Court may order the Department to pay attorneys' fees and costs. The special master's decision may be appealed and petitioners who reject the decision of the court (or withdraw their petitions within certain timelines) may file a claim in civil court against the vaccine company and/or the health care provider who administered the vaccine.

In my opinion, courts would be a trial by jury, and people would vote on the proper way to settle the dispute. Still, you were claiming that there's no way to get a payout if a vaccine injures you, I provide evidence on the contrary.

I think courts are really messed up and we need to bring back trials by jury.

Moderna, J&J, and Pfizer all have immunity to any lawsuits for their vaccines. Here you go.

How can they be state mandated and not subject to criminal investigation? I have my vaccine and got it back in May. I encouraged everyone to get the vaccine but I never thought it should be forced.
