Since they we’re given under an “EUA” I believe the can “✔ safe from lawsuits!”. Anyone? Lawyers? Bueller?
They are safe from lawsuits and the government has sovereign immunity so I doubt anyone who suffers ill effects will see a payment

That’s an anti-vaxxer myth. The EUA had nothing to do with liability. The PREP Act is the source of the immunity and EUA isn’t a prerequisite.
The PREP Act authorizes the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (Secretary) (HHS) to issue a PREP Act Declaration (“Declaration”) that provides immunity from liability for any loss caused, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from administration or use of countermeasures to diseases, threats and conditions determined in the Declaration to constitute a present or credible risk of a future public health emergency.
