These are the two articles I recalled reading on this subject.
The first one shows that no vaccine maker of an approved vaccine can be sued. Doesn't matter if it's the newly developed Covid vaccine or the 40 year old Measles vaccine.
According to 42 U.S. Code § 300aa–22, "No vaccine manufacturer shall be liable in a civil action for damages arising from a vaccine-related injury or death associated with the administration of a vaccine after October 1, 1988, if the injury or death resulted from side effects that were unavoidable even though the vaccine was properly prepared and was accompanied by proper directions and warnings."
Good question. It ought to, since the legal immunity only existed because the gov't wanted an emergency rollout before full testing could be completed, which the pharma companies obviously weren't going to assume the risk for.
But now that we're out of emergency use territory, that clause should be null and void.
Under US law no manufacturer of an approved vaccine can be held liable. Doesn't matter if it's the Covid vaccine or the Measles, Hep or the Influenza shot.
Aren't the Covid vaccines in the same Vaccine Injury Program as any other approved vaccine?

Fair enough.
