"If COVID-19 vaccines are so safe why the necessity for blanket liability protection?"

 At the post, Are the COVID-19 Vaccines Safe?, a commenter asks a rhetorical question in an attempt to suggest that vaccines are not safe:

 [I]f they're so safe why the necessity for blanket liability protection?

Well, actually there are a few reasons.

In a purely free market, if I ran a pharmaceutical company, it is very possible that I would always sell my pharmaceuticals with non-recourse if something were to go wrong.  I would never want to put my entire company at risk.

I would put out the tests I ran and pretty much say: "Here is what I am offering come and get it if you want but don't come back to me if there are serious side effects. Sign here."

Of course, the degree to which I could pull this off would depend upon what the competition was doing but there is certainly the possibility that total liability protection could emerge as a regular factor in free market vaccines and other pharmaceuticals.

Second, another reason I might want total liability, even if I was 100% confident in a vaccine (or other treatment), is that if I am distributing it to tens of millions of people, there is a very good chance (even a certainty) that someone is going to experience a health crisis within a short period of taking the vaccine that may have nothing to do with the vaccine but would set me up for serious lawsuits. 

The commenter also adds, in response to my point, where I ask an earlier commenter to explain why he says vaccines are "inherently unsafe."  The current commenter writes:

[T]he burden of proof is on those claiming the covid shots are safe. 

Well, the original commenter is making a claim about all vaccines. I am making no claims at all. I am simply asking the original commenter to explain his claim. I don't have to prove anything. I am making zero claims.

The commenter then references the VAERS reports as proof that there is a problem with COVID-19 vaccines because of the larger number of VAERS reports. Indeed, this might be a sign of a problem BUT total context is not being provided here. It may very well be that people who are getting the COVID-19 vaccine are being monitored much more closely than those who get flu vaccines. It is possible this could account for the higher VAERS reports around the COVID-19 vaccines.

Finally, the commenter writes:

I'm not qualified to accurate describe the mechanisms, but with some searching you'll find numerous doctors who will elaborate on the possible mechanisms these experimental gene therapies could/should be considered dangerous.

And this has been my point. Comments are flowing from people who admit that when pushed, they really don't know what they are talking about. And as for numerous doctors raising concerns, there hasn't been one that I have seen (and I have watched dozens of these videos) that hasn't made basic logical errors when they lay out their arguments.

In conclusion, as I have stated before, I am highly suspicious of the COVID-19 vaccine which was rushed through trials but I want facts and sound explanations with the problems of the vaccines. In the current environment, we are not getting solid context to anything going on with COVID-19.

The large number of supposed deaths from COVID-19 appears to be a highly politicized number. As for the value of the vaccine, no one is pointing out that we are in the spring so COVID-19 cases (if they act like the flu) would be declining dramatically anyway. That is, it might be the case that the vaccines don't work at all. But nothing is put in proper context. The contextual data is not being put out by either side. And that is my warning.

We can state that the safety of the vaccine looks suspicious, that the crony sociopaths at the CDC are making some illogical arguments which suggest they are playing some other game, but this is all we can say about the vaccine at this time.

As I have said before, I have zero interest in taking any of the COVID-19 vaccines but I would have no problem with pharmaceuticals offering them with total liability protection if things emerged that way on a free market. But again I have no interest, liability protection or not.

There are all kinds of products that I don't buy, that in my mind make little sense, from whole life insurance to warranty protection on products that cost less than $1,000. Obviously, others think differently. It seems to be that way with the COVID-19 vaccines. 

Because of government propaganda, or whatever, by taking a COVID-19 vaccine, many are part of a de facto massive experiment where the results are unknown. Not the kind of risk-reward experiment that I want to be part of. But, who knows? Maybe in 5 or 10 years, mRNA vaccines may prove effective and safe and help against serious viruses. Or maybe in a year, they will prove to be extremely dangerous. We don't know at this point.

So I am going to sit back for 5 or 10 years to see what happens and warn close friends that the vaccine at this point doesn't seem to have been properly tested. But I am not going to jump to the other end of the spectrum and hold that, at this point, there is sound evidence that the vaccines are ineffective or very dangerous. 

The government is running a vaccine scam with unknown consequences is the way I look at the current situation. Maybe things will settle down in 10 years and we will get full context.
