In a groundbreaking decision, a Michigan judge ruled on Aug. 8 that a drug manufacturer and hospital are not protected by the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act in the case of a man who experienced two strokes and a leg amputation after receiving the COVID-19 medication remdesivir that was contaminated with glass particles.
This is the first time a judge has ruled a drug manufacturer and hospital are not protected under the PREP Act, which provides immunity from lawsuits and liability protections under state and federal law concerning all claims for loss resulting from the administration of the covered countermeasure, except in the case of willful misconduct. Although the ruling is not a binding precedent, this case sets the tone for future lawsuits against the company for injuries potentially incurred by those given the drug.
Detroit-based attorney Ven Johnson filed a lawsuit on behalf of Dan Nowacki, his wife, and son against Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Gilead), the manufacturer of remdesivir—marketed under the brand name Veklury—and St. Joseph Mercy Chelsea Hospital that administered the drug, alleging breach of warranty, negligence, gross negligence, and loss of consortium—as Ms. Nowacki has lost her husband’s “society, companionship, and household services.”
The hospital and pharmaceutical company claimed they could not be sued because they had immunity under the PREP Act.

Groundbreaking Ruling: Manufacturer of Remdesivir Not Shielded by PREP Act for Man’s Injuries
[[. This is the first time a judge has ruled a drug manufacturer and hospital are not protected under the PREP Act]]
Then Pfizer, merc and others are not protected from lawsuits after all like was claimed? Let the suits begin then.
This would,be in the best interest of the world because it would prevent future governments from forcing untested or lightly tested vaccines and such on the people while giving the makers of the drugs immunity from prosecution-
Which in turn would ensure thst new vaccines and such are tested and reported on honestly in order to try to prevent future lawsuits!
I read that the FDA just approved this death drug for kidney patients ... let me go find that ....
Remdesivir kills by causing rapid kidney failure.
bttt
Can’t wait for them all to be included in the class action suits like you see advertised for Asbestos poisoning!!
That would be the cats ass!!
Remember they have renamed Remdesivir as Veklury now, probably as an attempt to get it past you without you knowing. Say NO to Veklury as well.
Class action attorneys! Go for it! The deepest pockets are found in big pharma and, of course, the government. Go for it!
The article states that the drug was contaminated with glass particles. That is a different situation than damage caused by drug side effects. I suspect the hospital was simply trying to take the easy route in applying the immunity claim. It is possible that they did so because freeing themselves from liability based on drug contamination may have involved proving the plaintiffs case against the drug company (and substantial additional expense).
After this ruling the hospital and the drug company will have to defend themselves without the PREP act. Based on what little is know, the drug manufacturer is probably liable.
“I’m not an attorney, nor do I play one on tv, but those who think this opens the floodgates may be getting ahead of themselves.

Yes. But this opens a door. And trust me, once a door is opened and an attorney gets his little toe through that door, the entire Plaintiff’s Bar will soon follow.
When fraud is found to be in all of these trials, all the protection will be thrown out.
Talk about repurposing a drug.. I’m not sure if remdesivir is in the original patented process for the PCR test and the mRNA jabs. It was a ebola drug.

Contaminated with glass particles is beyond the usual protection from damages due to the medicine itself.
This is gross negligence that that would be allowed out there.
iviThere was considerable advertising in 2021 over a class action suit against Giliad Sciences. HIH had given considerable support to Giliad on Remdesivir research. The class action suit advertised was for AIDs drugs in the Truvada family (if I remember correctly); Those drugs were causing some serious health problems, so Gilead developed a modified form. But they waited around a decade to put it out there because they wanted to use up (sell) all the original more dangerous drug before introducing the improved drug.
Great ethics by that company, and I am sure Fauci was well acquainted with that dangerous AIDs drug issue. So in order to move forward quickly on getting $3,000 a treatment Remdesivir rolling, in May 2020 he announced a study to prove whether HCQ was an effective Covid drug. While including the lung protecting antibiotic Azithromycin in that trial, he conveniently “forgot” to include the essential virus stopper ZINC in the study. All the fuss over HCQ started as a result of Dr. Vladimir Zelenko sending a cc of his March 23, 2020 to the White House for Trump and Mark Meadows. The letter points out the HCQ is an IONOPHOrE that helps the essential virus stopper ZINC get into infected cells more easily. In addition Zelenko’s treatment cost about $20, and was advised to be used at the very first sign of Covid symptoms to stop the virus before it could spread to very any cells. Fauci announced that the Remdesivir study was for hospitalized patients, another fail move. As someone here said, let the class action suits begin.
Yet another study designed to fail.
*Studies prove.....* nothing.
You either can set it up to fail, like not including the zinc and using it at the wrong time in the course of the illness, or just keep repeating the *study* until you get the results you want.
