I think you’re referring to the fact that they can’t be sued in civil court, but that is only stating half of the facts. There is a special court set up specifically for claims against the vaccine manufacturers, by a special act of Congress. They are NOT immune from liability in that court. The Supremes simply ruled that you can’t go after them in another court, you must use the court that is set up for that specific purpose.

It’s almost impossible to win in that court.
My cousin was left permanently brain damaged by a bad batch of the DPT shot. He was perfectly healthy until he was 18 months old, and then he started developing holes in his brain. His parents flew him all over the country looking for answers that no doctor could give them.
However, they never gave up looking for a cause, and they finally found it 14 years later. It was a small article in a medical journal in one of the universities medical libraries.
BTW, they didn’t win in court.
My perfectly healthy 5 year old niece started having seizures 4 hours after her MMR shot. They continued on and off for almost 2 years. However, according to every doctor she saw, it was just a coincidence. Sound familiar?
Luckily, she seems fine now, and was never given another vaccine.
Is my family just unlucky? Maybe
Are we just more sensitive to them? Maybe
I’ll let you decide.
BTW, Have you heard of SV40 monkey virus that contaminated millions of polio vaccines?
It is a undisputed fact that the vaccine was contaminated and causes cancer.
Do you know how many of those millions won in court?
The answer is zero.
Strange that the court paid out "$2,569,336,538.59 for compensable claims and $104,202,681.85 for attorneys’ fees representing those claims" from FY 1989 to FY 2013, if it is so hard to win a claim in that court (source). You may be right, though. It is not unheard of or even unusual for something the government set up to not work properly. If the court is broken though, let's fix it, rather than pretend that this is some insurmountable issue.
