ICAN’S ATTORNEYS FILE MAJOR LAWSUIT TO STRIKE DOWN PORTIONS OF THE PREP ACT

ICAN is excited to announce that it is supporting a lawsuit that was filed today by ICAN’s attorneys to strike down the immunity to liability and the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) provisions of the PREP Act because they violate the constitutional rights of those injured or killed by a COVID-19 vaccine.

As ICAN supporters are aware, the PREP Act provides near-complete immunity to Pfizer, Moderna, J&J, and Novavax for injuries and deaths caused by their COVID-19 vaccines, as well as immunity to those who administer these products. This law basically provides a license to cause death with impunity.

In exchange for this near total elimination of COVID-19-vaccine-injured’s right to sue for their injuries, Congress created the CICP, a wholly insufficient, unjust, underfunded, and consequently unconstitutional compensation scheme where 94% of its budget goes toward administration (i.e., federal employees) instead of actually compensating those injured, and which has compensated only 4 individuals to date out of over 12,000 requests for benefits.
