Nope. Tobacco didn’t have a legal shield until they negotiated the global settlement back when smokes went from like $2 a pack to $4 overnight. It killed all the tertiary companies and the big boys just doubled prices and started funneling cash straight to the states.
Vaccines have wide legal immunity already. You cannot sue a vaccine manufacturer anywhere in the developed world. They pitched it as “hey, when you have a bad disease you’ll need us to take a moonshot and if you’re gonna hold us liable if something goes wrong we aren’t gonna make vaccines.” There is some amount set aside from each vaccine sale that goes into a resolution fund the government runs and if you get fucked up by a vaccine your sole recourse is a claim against that fund.
