Tens of millions of migrants may be denied COVID-19 vaccines from a global programme because some major manufacturers are worried about legal risks from harmful side effects, according to officials and internal documents from Gavi, the charity operating the programme, reviewed by Reuters.

I refuse to take the vax as long as even one child in a 3rd world country has to go without! It's my duty as a White colonialist oppressor!

On a related side note, my government gave away vax doses to other countries, then stoked a mass hysteria among its own citizens and is now going to run out of vax doses in a few months. Fucking hilarious.

This is one of the most insane reports I've ever seen. It's nonstop "quiet part out loud".

some major manufacturers are worried about legal risks from harmful side effects

What harmful side effects? I thought the vaccines were safe? If there are harmful side effects, then how can it be mandated?

officials say unvaccinated people offer an ideal environment for it to mutate into new variants that threaten hard-won immunity around the world

What immunity? "Vaccinated people" have also spread every variant, and the process of transmission is where mutation takes place.

Many COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers have required that countries indemnify them for any adverse events suffered by individuals as a result of the vaccines

You wouldn't give this deal to your immediate family, so why are we giving it to big pharma? Remember when big pharma was bad?

Where governments are not in control, that is not possible.

"Government" isn't supposed to be in control in America. Especially not the federal government.

The concerns affect people, such as those displaced by the Myanmar, Afghanistan and Ethiopian crises, who are beyond the reach of national governments' vaccination schemes.

It's like they're dogwhistling at this point.

People may blame vaccines for problems that emerge afterwards even if they are unrelated

And because you can't prove that the injections didn't cause harm, you can't enter into that situation without total legal immunity. But flip the script: if the injections are harmful, big pharma would never hide that info within covid-19 or general healthcare stats, right? It's not like they've ever done that before...

This could then lead to an increased number of litigation cases ... during which the safety and efficacy of the vaccine would be publicly questioned

So we're openly admitting that no one has questioned the safety and efficacy of the injections, and that one of your policy-leading goals is to prevent such a discussion from taking place.

That might lead to increased vaccine hesitancy

This is essentially a kafkatrap on an industrial scale. We cannot risk people finding out that these injections are dangerous because then people might stop taking the injections. Completely irrational behavior unless your goal is something other than healthcare. Like profits. Or control.

claims made to out-of-court compensation programmes are one measure of the risk. A programme in the United States has so far not paid out anything

What the fuck even is this logic? You just got done telling us countries need to submit to legal immunity for vaxx manufacturers before they will deliver doses, and now you're pointing to the absence of payouts as proof that the injections are safe? Exactly why would anyone payout if they are not legally compelled to do so? You've already established that any indication of harmful side effects must be avoided in order to maintain total trust in the vaxx. Seems like great motivation to refuse payment of any kind.

Leaving them unvaccinated could help spread the virus and its variants across the world

Are we going to invade countries who refuse the vaxx? Is that the standard now? It's probably easier to just topple any regime that doesn't go along with the vaxx program. Gee, in wonder what's been happening in a bunch of African countries lately...

Shouldn't we be vaxxing animals given the fact that they represent an uncontrolled reservoir for coronaviruses? We going to inject every cat and dog? I'm sure Pfizer wouldn't mind as long as tax payers are flipping the bill.

He added that the IRC believed the likelihood that a member of the refugee population would attempt to take legal action in case of side-effects was "extremely low."

Oh, no problem then. The poor people are too stupid to sue Pfizer, so we should be all good.

The vaccine makers' legal concern is rooted in the unprecedented speed of the effort to develop the COVID shots, the EFPIA said.

What a fascinating way to say "these injections have not been sufficiently tested".

For drug companies, accepting potential liability runs counter to standard practice.

No comment necessary.

The gold standard is full immunity from lawsuits. If they accept carve-outs, it may become more difficult to reach that goal.

One of the most tortured rationales I've ever seen. Accepting any liability whatsoever interferes with their goal of zero liability? Someone wrote this stupid shit down.

This is Reuters, one of the most disseminated news sources in the world.

Imagine showing this admission to a leftist in 2019 vs 2021. You'd get two diametrically opposed reactions. That's how thoroughly leftist morals are guided by media and government.

Lefties don't have morals, they just want power.

I'm starting to think that renouncing US citizenship and moving to a 3rd world country is the way to go.

Come back across the border and get Healthcare, housing, more legal rights, and Biden bucks for the hardship I had to endure in crossing the border.

In other words they're safe from being sued by the local citizens, buy not the externals. Implying, it's not as safe as it seems.
