Recently, the CDC added this vax to the "approved" list of vaxxes for kiddys. Many don't realize that once this EUA (emergency use approved) vaxx was placed on the kiddy list, Phizer is now off the hook for law suits/any liability. Now since many states will REQUIRE this vax for kids to go to Public Schools etc... hey we can jack the price up.... Reminds me of the TV series The Wire...... sad

"WASHINGTON, D.C. — On Wednesday, the Centers for Disease Control’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) will vote on whether to make COVID-19 vaccines part of the mandatory childhood immunization schedule.

If the committee votes in favor, vaccine makers’ liability for injuries will transfer from the corporations to the federal government’s National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) – effectively shifting the financial responsibility for the shots to the tax payer.

Pfizer and Moderna have so far been temporarily shielded from liability through the PREP Act, but that protection will end in 2023."
