I think jeff can agree this is a good idea. They should be liable for any problems in production -or- in side effects that are not properly labeled.
I'll ignore for now the fact that I don't think most people can properly consent to taking a drug having a mere list of side effects.

@jeffcliff That's under duress and so isn't consent.
This is also why I think the consent format for medical treatments is not effective.

wtf does that even mean
You can consent DURING A PANDEMIC to take an experimental cure/prophylactic where the 'full' data is not yet available. I certainly did. And so did people taking ivermectin. And there's nothing wrong with taking either.
As far as 'liability protection' generally in the US that is a US internal political issue and you can take that up with other americans IDGAF.

@jeffcliff @sickburnbro It may seem a technicality, but people working fully remote positions who could completely self isolate were still threatened with loss of employment for not taking the COVID vaccine. I'd call that duress.

@jeffcliff @sickburnbro That doesn't change the fact that the decision was made under duress to push a crisis vaccine on people.
