Thomas Massie’s New Bill Would Let People Sue Pharma for COVID Vaccine Injuries

Several years after the COVID-19 vaccine’s rollout, the only federal program that provides compensation for COVID vaccine injuries continues to process claims at a snail’s pace while rejecting most of those claims that it does decide.

As of June 1, only 39 people have received compensation from the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) for a COVID-19 vaccine injury. It has rejected another 4,338 claims. Some 9,423 people are still waiting for the federal government to even review their case.

The long wait times and high rejection rates have prompted some lawmakers to propose repealing the liability protections created by the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act, which prevents people from suing COVID vaccine makers in state courts and leaves them dependent on the CICP as the only possible source of compensation.

That includes Rep. Thomas Massie (R–Ky.), who introduced a bill last week to repeal the liability shields in the PREP Act.

“The PREP Act is medical malpractice martial law,” said Massie in a press release. “Americans deserve the right to seek justice when injured by government-mandated products.”

Passed as part of a defense spending bill in 2005, the PREP Act was intended to shore up companies’ willingness to produce novel “countermeasures” in the wake of a public health emergency like a pandemic or bioterror attack by shielding them from civil suits.

The law allows the Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) to issue blanket liability waivers to countermeasures produced in response to a public health emergency. People injured from a covered countermeasure can pursue compensation through the CICP, but they can’t sue in state court.

In February 2020, then-HHS Secretary Alex Azar invoked the PREP Act’s liability shield for COVID-19 countermeasures, which covered then-yet-to-be-invented vaccines, masks, tests, and more.

Massie’s PREP Repeal Act would end those liability protections, thus opening up vaccine makers to personal injury lawsuits in state courts.

Advocates for the vaccine injured say any attention to their plight is welcome.

Florida Surgeon General Highlights Vaccine Injuries, Calls on NIH to Act

At a press conference at Florida State University in Tampa, Florida, Florida Surgeon General Dr Joseph Ladapo made an urgent call for the NIH program funding to help Americans injured by Covid-19 vaccines and expressed support for the May federal changes in the HHS’s restrictive Covid-19 vaccine recommendations.

On the Ground in Tampa: What Ladapo Really Said

I was invited to Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo’s press conference in Tampa on July 17, 2025. In contrast to how some mainstream outlets later portrayed it, the event centered on a call to recognize and research Covid-19 vaccine injuries, rather than a mere anti-vaccine screed. Dr. Ladapo – a physician and Florida’s top health official since 2021 – emphasized the urgent need to support those suffering adverse effects from mRNA Covid-19 shots. He praised recent federal moves to scale back mRNA vaccine recommendations for certain groups, but went further by asserting that these products “should not be used in any human beings,” given their safety profile. From my front-row perspective, Dr. Ladapo’s tone was measured yet resolute. He recounted how unusual it is, in his experience, to encounter so many post-vaccination issues. “When was the last time that you had a vaccine that literally almost every single person knows someone who had a bad reaction from it?” Ladapo asked pointedly.

Before the Covid era, he noted, he never personally knew a patient who was clearly vaccine-injured. “Now,” he continued, “there are very few people that I run into who either themselves have not had a bad reaction from these mRNA Covid-19 vaccines, or who don’t know someone who’s had a bad reaction.” 

This was a striking report that hung in the air – one supported anecdotally by nods from some attendees sharing their own stories. Dr. Ladapo stressed that adverse reactions have become distressingly commonplace, and he even bluntly called the Covid shots “terrible vaccines” as a result.

Ghost Shot: Pfizer quietly admits it will never manufacture original FDA approved COVID vaccines

The August 23, 2021 FDA approval of Pfizer’s Comirnaty vaccine was a cause for celebration. Marked as a turning point in the battle against COVID19, the announcement was highly publicized by the Biden Administration with the clear intention to extinguish “vaccine hesitancy” and boost uptake.

It was celebrated as a cause for national relief, and many Americans arrived at their local pharmacies under the impression, via government and pharmaceutical propaganda, that they were receiving an FDA-approved COVID vaccine. Yet that legally distinct product, as we know it, never existed. And now we know, via Pfizer, that it will never exist.

For the uninitiated:

Comirnaty is a legally distinct product from the emergency use authorization (EUA) shots, and It has never made its way to market. For months on end, no such vaccine has ever become available. Those who received the “Pfizer shot(s)” have been injected with the emergency use authorization (EUA) version of the shots.

3 New Plaintiffs Ask to Join COVID Vaccine Injury Lawsuit Against Bill Gates

Three COVID-19 vaccine injury victims are asking to join a Dutch lawsuit against Bill Gates, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla and 15 other defendants, alleging they misled the public about the safety of the COVID-19 vaccines.

The lawsuit was filed last year by seven COVID-19 vaccine injury victims, one of whom has since died.

According to a filing by the plaintiffs’ attorney, Peter Stassen, the three new victims “were healthy people” who began experiencing health problems after receiving mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.

“The applicants are of the opinion that the serious side effects that occurred after having the Covid-19 (mRNA) injections are the direct result of the content / composition of these Covid-19 (mRNA) injections,” the filing states.

Doctors have repeatedly refused to diagnose a link between vaccination and their injuries, Stassen said.

During a hearing today at the District Court of North Netherlands in Leeuwarden, Stassen also asked the court to approve five expert witnesses who will testify about the risks and dangers of the COVID-19 shots:

  • Catherine Austin Fitts, founder and publisher of the Solari Report and former U.S. assistant secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
  • Sasha Latypova, a former pharmaceutical research and development executive.
  • Joseph Sansone, Ph.D., a psychotherapist who is litigating to prohibit mRNA vaccines in Florida.
  • Katherine Watt, a researcher and paralegal.
  • Mike Yeadon, Ph.D., a pharmacologist and former vice-president of Pfizer’s allergy and respiratory research unit.

Another proposed witness, Francis Boyle, J.D., Ph.D., who agreed in January to testify on behalf of the plaintiffs, has since died. Boyle was a professor of international law at the University of Illinois and a bioweapons expert who drafted the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989.

Study Claiming No Link Between Aluminum in Vaccines and Autism Riddled with Flaws, Critics Say

Mainstream media widely promoted a new study by Danish researchers that found no link between aluminum in vaccines and 50 negative health outcomes, including autism, asthma and autoimmune disorders.

However, critics told The Defender the study used flawed methodology and “statistical tricks” that muddied the findings.

The authors published their report on July 15 in the Annals of Internal Medicine. On July 14, even before the study went live, mainstream and health industry media, including NBC News and STAT News, publicly announced the results.

Chris Exley, Ph.D., one of the world’s leading experts on the health effects of aluminum exposure, and Brian Hooker, Ph.D., chief scientific officer of Children’s Health Defense (CHD), said that in order to determine if aluminum exposure is linked to health conditions, the researchers should have compared children with no aluminum exposure to children with aluminum exposure.

But that’s not what the Danish scientists did. Instead, they compared children who received vaccines containing aluminum to children who received vaccines with slightly less aluminum.

Not only that, but there was only a one-milligram difference between the amount of aluminum in the vaccine doses received by the children in one of the groups compared to those in another group. Comparing children with similar aluminum levels rather than comparing children with low levels of aluminum to children with high levels of the metal further muddled the findings, Hooker said.

The researchers examined national vaccination records of about 1.2 million children born in Denmark between 1997 and 2018 and tracked the rates of 50 chronic health conditions.

Using statistical analyses, the authors concluded there was no link between aluminum content in vaccines and increased risk of developing autism, autoimmune diseases, asthma or allergic conditions, including food allergies and hay fever.

Anders Hviid, a professor and department head of epidemiology at the Statens Serum Institut and lead study author, told MedPage Today, the results “provide robust evidence supporting the safety of childhood vaccines.”

“This is evidence that parents, clinicians, and public health officials need to make the best choices for the health of our children,” Hviid said.

In a press release, Hviid called the results “reassuring” and said large studies like his are important in “an era marked by widespread misinformation about vaccines.”

FDA Rejects Moderna Jab for Healthy Children

For years, it’s been common practice at the FDA to routinely approve upgraded versions of existing vaccines with an oversight process best described as rubber stamping.

But the days of the FDA quietly approving vaccines may be over – bright news for activists from the Medical Freedom Movement.

Earlier this week, Dr. Vinay Prasad, the man who replaced Peter Marks, the FDA’s controversial vaccine official, boldly overruled FDA regulators who had recommended all three COVID vaccines for all age groups, including healthy children.

While the approval process for vaccines gives regulatory bodies the opportunity to scrutinize products before they hit the market, in reality, this hardly ever happened. Today, however, FDA leadership is empowered to scrutinize vaccines to insure their safety.

More importantly, the current FDA is challenging the past orthodoxy of a “one-size-fits-all” approach. In its place: the empirical “gold standard” scientific analysis that HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had been promising.

Dr. Prasad, the new head of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) – which regulates vaccines, blood products and more – explained this new approach both online and in a detailed memorandum.

In his memo, Dr. Prasad writes that in considering the approval of Moderna’s updated mRNA COVID vaccine (“SPIKEVAX”), the FDA must weigh the benefits of the product against its risks. Only then can a specific approval process result in a scientifically sound recommendation. “FDA has a statutory mandate to only approve products when we have substantial certainty that benefits outweigh harms,” Prasad writes in his memo. Referring to Moderna’s submission, he adds, “We do not have substantial certainty [that] benefits outweigh risks of healthy children.”

Dr. Prasad elaborates: “First, consider that COVID-19 severe disease, hospitalization, and death are extremely low at pediatric ages and have fallen, according to US CDC data from 2021-22 to the present.”

Dr. Prasad continues, “These rates are lower in healthy children than in children with risk factors. Notably, the applicant has agreed to a revised submission that focuses on children with risk factors, and FDA CBER has granted this approval.”

Canada’s COVID jab injury payouts triple in two years, reaching $18 million

Payments to COVID jab-injured Canadians have tripled in the past three years.

According to information recently published by Canada’s Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP), payments to COVID-injured Canadians have totaled $18,140,998, nearly triple the $6,695,716 paid in 2023.

The statistics, which reflect numbers from when the program was launched in 2020 until June 1, 2024, showed that only 234 out of 3317 claims have been approved.

However, the claims do not represent the total number of Canadians injured by the allegedly “safe and effective” COVID shots, as inside memos have revealed that the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) officials neglected to report all adverse effects from COVID shots and even went as far as telling staff not to report all events.

The PHAC’s downplaying of jab injuries is of little surprise to Canadians, as a 2023 secret memo revealed that the federal government purposefully hid adverse effect so as not to alarm Canadians.

Canada’s VISP was launched in December 2020 after the Canadian government gave vaccine makers a shield from liability regarding COVID-19 jab-related injuries.

To date, the health department does not have an estimate on how many compensation claims will be filed.  Officially, in Canada, there have been 442 deaths linked to the COVID shot, and Canada’s Public Health Agency data claims that 98.2 million jab doses have been administered.

Earlier this week, Conservatives demanded an official investigation into the Liberal-run vaccine injury program, which has given more to VISP administrators than injured Canadians. Notably, there have been no press releases regarding the contracts on the Government of Canada website nor from Carney’s official office.

An explosive Global News report found that Oxaro Inc., the company contracted for $50 million to run the program, misallocated taxpayer funds and disregarded many jab-injured Canadians.

Of the $50.6 million that Oxaro Inc., has received, $33.7 million has been spent on administrative costs, compared to only $18.1 million going to jab-injured Canadians.

The Telegraph alters headline to note that the harms caused by covid injections have been catastrophic

On Sunday, The Telegraph published an article describing their interview with Dr. Aseem Malhotra. By Tuesday, the paper had changed its headline to highlight Dr. Malhotra’s statement that the covid vaccines had caused catastrophic harms. This could be an indication that the noose controlling the “safe and effective” narrative is loosening further.

As well as the newly appointed chief medical adviser to the US’s MAHA Institute, Dr. Malhotra is a consultant at the HUM2N longevity clinic, which offers biohacking services.

On Tuesday, Dr. Aseem Malhotra alerted the public to a change in one of The Telegraph’s headlines to read: ‘Aseem Malhotra: ”The harm caused by covid vaccine has been catastrophic”’.

We couldn’t establish when the headline was changed because The Telegraph only shows an uploaded date and time for their articles and not a “last edited” date and time.  However, below are screenshots of the two headlines that were archived on 13 July (the day the article was published) and 15 July.

COVID-19 mRNA Shots Destroy 8.4% of Non-Renewable Eye Cells in Just 75 Days

A new peer-reviewed study in Ophthalmic Epidemiology titled, Evaluation of the Effects of mRNA-COVID 19 Vaccines on Corneal Endothelium, has uncovered alarming evidence that Pfizer’s COVID-19 mRNA injection (BNT162b2) causes significant structural damage to the eye’s non-renewable corneal endothelium — the critical layer of cells responsible for maintaining corneal transparency and hydration.

Researchers from two Turkish university hospitals conducted a prospective study on 64 healthy, COVID-naive volunteers. Using advanced imaging tools (Sirius corneal topography and Tomey EM-4000 specular microscopy), they evaluated 128 eyes before vaccination and approximately 75 days after the second Pfizer dose.

The corneal endothelium does not regenerate. Once these cells are lost, they cannot be replaced — damage is considered irreversible. Sustained injury to this layer may result in blurred vision, chronic corneal swelling, or even blindness in severe cases.

This study provides objective, measurable evidence of structural and functional eye damage shortly after mRNA COVID-19 injection — even in young, healthy adults with no prior ocular pathology.

New Study Stokes Debate: Did Mass Vaccination Fuel New COVID Variants?

Researchers who set out to examine how SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, evolved to evade the human immune system have inadvertently added fuel to the debate over whether mass vaccination may have prolonged the pandemic.

A peer-reviewed study, published this month in the journal Scientific Reports, hypothesized that SARS-CoV-2’s pathway to infecting humans shifted over time. Understanding that process will help scientists develop treatments for all future variants of the virus, the authors said.

Using public datasets consisting of blood and nasal samples from over 500 people, split into COVID-positive and control groups, the researchers found that the original strain of the SARS-CoV-2 and early variants “primarily affected pathways related to viral replication” — the process through which viruses insert their genetic material into host cells, co-opting those cells to create new viral particles.

These earlier strains of the virus led to more changes in gene expression — the process through which cells convert instructions in our DNA into a functional product, such as a protein. This, in turn, led to more severe COVID-19 infections.

However, later strains of SARS-CoV-2, such as Beta and Omicron, “showed a strategic shift toward modulating and evading the host immune response,” but also resulted in milder infections for most people.

According to TrialSite News, this is a “striking evolutionary shift in how SARS-CoV-2 interacts with the human body,” suggesting that newer variants “may be optimized for immune evasion.”
