Bill > HJM4010

This Joint Memorial respectfully requests that the United States Congress pass legislation to repeal a specific federal law, 42 U.S.C. Sec. 300aa-22(b)(1), which was part of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986. This law, as interpreted by the Supreme Court in 2011, prevents individuals from filing lawsuits against vaccine manufacturers for injuries caused by vaccine design defects, even if those defects lead to unavoidable side effects. The memorial argues that individuals should have the right to sue vaccine manufacturers for such design defects, asserting that personal rights should take precedence over corporate profits and noting that other regions, like the European Union, have systems that allow for such claims without disrupting healthcare.
