False Claim that CDC Would Require Covid Vaccines for Kids Spurs Outrage
Yahoo News ^ | Wed, October 19, 2022 | Dan Diamond and Lena H. Sun

On Tuesday morning, a Fox News contributor claimed on Twitter that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was set to mandate that schoolchildren get coronavirus vaccines. By Tuesday evening, the claim was being repeated by the nation's most popular cable news show, and had been amplified to millions more on social media online.

"The CDC is about to add the Covid vaccine to the childhood immunization schedule, which would make the vax mandatory for kids to attend school," host Tucker Carlson tweeted, sharing a segment from his show that has been viewed more than 1.5 million times online.

But the claim was wrong: The CDC cannot mandate that schoolchildren receive vaccines, a decision left up to states and jurisdictions, the agency and multiple public health officials said. The initial tweet by Nicole Saphier, a radiologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, also misconstrued a planned meeting of CDC advisers, who voted Wednesday to add coronavirus vaccines to the federal Vaccines for Children program, a safety-net program that offers the shots at no cost. A separate meeting set for Thursday would address the agency's immunization schedule for children.

There is a law from 1985. According to that law, no once can sue a vaccine maker. They have to sue some government agency that rarely pays out.

Exactly. They can’t mandate it, but they know that most states do what the DC recommends. Blue states will adopt it automatically but red states will have to follow their legislators to make sure they don’t adopt this requirement.

They are not happy to have been caught.

"Regulatory Capture" isn't just a conspiracy theory. It's been the rule rather than the exception for a couple of generations now.

42 U.S. Code § 300aa–22 - Standards of responsibility (a)General rule Except as provided in subsections (b), (c), and (e) State law shall apply to a civil action brought for damages for a vaccine-related injury or death.

(b)Unavoidable adverse side effects; warnings
(1)No vaccine manufacturer shall be liable in a civil action for damages arising from a vaccine-related injury or death associated with the administration of a vaccine after October 1, 1988, if the injury or death resulted from side effects that were unavoidable even though the vaccine was properly prepared and was accompanied by proper directions and warnings.

(2)For purposes of paragraph (1), a vaccine shall be presumed to be accompanied by proper directions and warnings if the vaccine manufacturer shows that it complied in all material respects with all requirements under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act [21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.] and section 262 of this title (including regulations issued under such provisions) applicable to the vaccine and related to vaccine-related injury or death for which the civil action was brought unless the plaintiff shows—

(A)that the manufacturer engaged in the conduct set forth in subparagraph (A) or (B) of section 300aa–23(d)(2) of this title, or

(B)by clear and convincing evidence that the manufacturer failed to exercise due care notwithstanding its compliance with such Act and section (and regulations issued under such provisions).

(c)Direct warnings No vaccine manufacturer shall be liable in a civil action for damages arising from a vaccine-related injury or death associated with the administration of a vaccine after October 1, 1988, solely due to the manufacturer’s failure to provide direct warnings to the injured party (or the injured party’s legal representative) of the potential dangers resulting from the administration of the vaccine manufactured by the manufacturer.

(d)Construction The standards of responsibility prescribed by this section are not to be construed as authorizing a person who brought a civil action for damages against a vaccine manufacturer for a vaccine-related injury or death in which damages were denied or which was dismissed with prejudice to bring a new civil action against such manufacturer for such injury or death.

When the CDC “recommends” a vaccination, school districts put on on their list of required vaccines based upon that recommendation. This way, they can both blame the other for the requirement. The CDC “recommends”, the Schools “require”. They knew what they were doing in this guidance issuance.

Maybe you meant in your earlier post that vaccine manufacturers have *no* liability? I don’t think that even true. (Maybe I misread your post?)

Anyway, that’s why they used the EUA for the mRNA CoVid “vaccines”. They even changed the definition of vaccine. These guys are nothing but weasels and corrupt a-holes. They line their pockets while we suffer under their whims. This isn’t science.

Class action lawsuit?
Interesting timing too..
Except for the rabid vaxxers, parents on social media are incensed about this!

Yahoo is the false claim, why they believe they are relevant in this world is beyond me, they are like Jim Acosta, but even dumber.

This is the same backpedaling weasel wording that Fauci pulled a few days ago where he claimed he wasn’t responsible for the lockdowns.

Bongino was all over this. Many states follow the CDC to the t.

Every GOP running in this election needs to follow DeSantis, Lake, Reynolds lead & firmly denounce any efforts to mandate this lunacy.
Ads should be blasted everywhere on what this means for schools, even in blue states.

Drives me crazy when news stories editorialize with phrases like “false claim” or “debunked” etc.

I noticed that too. Very widespread with liberal reporters and MSM outlets. Almost like they're ordered to include those phrases implicating those they disagree with as being lies when they are not.

Great counterpoint and highlights the corrupt media’s methods. The media has been bought off. Mostly by promises of media power, but more than likely outright bribery. If the libel laws worked properly, then these media hacks could be forced to reveal their payoffs in the discovery process.

"The truth of the matter is that the vote to give it to children removes the liability for the manufacturers."

*****************************************************

Bingo! That is the main reason for this absurd rule. Kids are not bothered by COVID and the vaccine doesn't stop transmission so there is no reason for kids to get the vax. However this stupid rule saves Big Pharma billions by taking away your legal recourse against them when their vax injures you.

They may be ordered to in some cases, but methinks they are mostly just dumb kids indoctrinated by their educational choices, political biases, lack of life experiences and willful ignorance. Or they are pure propagandists who chose “journalism” to spread their brand of gospel.

But I have read that many outlets require the use of certain phrases like “climate crisis” (instead of global warming or climate change) and “climate deniers” (instead of skeptics or “scientists”).

I will also remind that these mRNA *vaccines* weren’t done in the usual methods. This was all EUA, which protected them as long as they had that permission. They didn’t have to manufacture these according to the regular standards. Bad batches were abound!

They have been protected, and now that it’s on the school kids’ schedule, they will continue to be protected. Read about “The Real Anthony Fauci” or watch the free movie (for a few more days), based on RFK, Jr’s book.
