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.
