Federal PREP Act Liability Protections for COVID-19 Vaccination

Answer: The Federal PREP Act provides liability protection to local health departments and their employees for “Recommended Activities” associated with “Covered Countermeasures” such as administering FDA-authorized vaccines. The “sole exception” to the PREP Act’s liability protection is for death or injury caused by a Covered Person’s willful misconduct. Absent willful misconduct, an injured party’s only remedy is to seek compensation through the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP). Thus, the Federal PREP Act provides liability protection to local health departments and their employees for prescribing and administering FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccines as well as for supervising and administering COVID-19 vaccination programs....

Very interesting.

This may also mean, that the Federal PREP Act does NOT provide liability protection to local health departments and their employeesif they do NOT (prescribe and administer) FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccines as well as for supervising and administering COVID-19 vaccination programs....

In other words, there is no liability shied to local bureaucrats if they don't push the shots.

This sets up a legal dilemma. If local bureaucrats push the shots, they can't get sued. If local bureaucrats encourage freedom of choice and freewill - ya know, the American way - some Karen can sue their azz.

It's a perfectly statist Act.
