Yes you can. You can sue the government cause they indemnified the pharma companies under the emergency provision.

That said who mentioned faulty drugs? I am talking regular accepted side effects. We give drugs to people that cause heart attacks or brain aneurysm or internal bleeding. Thousands of people die from these side effects every day across the globe.

You can sue the government . . . if they let you, and to the extent they let you. It's in the playbook- a fund to give people money after they suffer. Just more wealth redistribution, but with lots of blood.

No you can sue the government. There is no clause here that makes them immune. You can't sue OFFICIALS. But you CAN sue government.

No, you cannot. Governments are sovereign. You can defeat them with guns, but you cannot sue them if they don't want to be sued.

Governments are sovereign doesn't mean what you think it means. It means that another nation can't sue them for policy. Or invade them like Bush did because muh WMDs. It doesn't mean citizens can't sue the government, state or otherwise, for damages.

See George Kirby's family suing the government of their city for cash and getting it.

Vaccine makers have had immunity for a long time, not just during COVID.

Instead of suing, you may get to go to a kangaroo court specifically for vaccines. If you are lucky enough to prove your vaccine caused damage, you may be compensated from a taxpayer funded settlement pool.

No that's not how it works. By indemnifying the producers and issuing an emergency usage the government assumes responsibility. Any damages awarded are of course you getting back your own money + other taxpayer's money so the pharma companies won't care. But government is liable.

Why do you think the tiniest side effect (1 in a million because of using vaccines with a virus vector) which is a super rare condition that you can ALSO get from the common cold causes government to shut down all sites immediately?

Cause they are trying to dodge lawsuits.
