Liability

Dear Legislator,

Many parents ask, “If vaccines are safe, what are we protecting the manufacturers from?” The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 (NCVIA) removes any liability from manufacturers and doctors should your child sustain a vaccine injury or death. Additions to the vaccine schedule have coincided with an increase in adverse reactions for patients and an increase in revenue for vaccine makers. Vaccine revenues have soared from 510 million in 1985 to 24.3 billion dollars in 2014. (Vaccine Book, 2.0., Blaxill, M. & Olmsted, D.- 2015) Please oppose any legislation that abolishes the personal and religious vaccine exemptions.
