Big Pharma manufacturers of the COVID -19 mRNA "vaccines" have lost their shield from product liability, after the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the mRNA shots are NOT VACCINES, but rather "Treatments."
The 9th Circuit said it's not a vaccine if the claim isn't to "PREVENT THE SPREAD" of a disease.
COVID shots were claimed to "reduce symptoms" and prevent hospitalization. Those claims make it a TREATMENT.
The case involved the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) mandating their people get the "vaccine."
But the 9th circuit, in a very detailed and complex ruling said the US District Court ERRED because this particular "vaccine" did not "prevent the spread of disease." Here is the pertinent portion of the 9th Circuit ruling:
So while the court held that government __can__ force vaccines to "halt the spread" of a disease in a public health crisis, government cannot expand that power to cover medical treatment which is simply for a citizen's benefit merely for "reducing symptoms."
Protecting public health by stopping the spread to others, is one thing, but trying to force vaccines that do not stop the spread, merely "reduce symptoms" is not within government's power to do.
