Imagine if you will, that government officials/individuals could have their personal assets confiscated for negligence/abuse.

It is LOVE OF GOVERNMENT that allowed these snakes to act in the shadows, free of accountability.

Don't expect it to get better until we demand it.

Katherine Watt-- legal researcher, former paralegal, journalist, has documented the decades long progression of these laws against the general population. Her substack is also incredibly potent, and important. Bailiwick News. Thanks, Alex, for your articles.

This conservative, lifelong Republican will be voting for Kennedy because neither of the major party candidates care about civil liberties.

Hopefully the deluded peddlers of false hope will stop wasting their efforts on "Nurmeberg 2.0" and start using more viable avenues of change.

But who am I kidding...

I tried to tell my friends during the covax push era that no one would be liable for any harms from the jabs should they incur them, acutely or chronically, (just like the CDC childhood schedule ones) but most of them marched on down to the clinics anyway. Looks like more people are awake to this now, but much of the damage has been done.

I remember when the PREP Act was passed and many of us (non Bush lovin‘) conservatives said “you know, this gives authorities way too much power“.

But like the Patriot Act before it, which expanded the backass FISA court to include domestic targets*, many folks appeared to love being managed by big daddy government, and defended it, endlessly.

Those birds have come home to roost.

And if you want to really test your gag reflex, take a look at the American Medical Association‘s defense of this absurdity vis-a-vis covid:

*I edited this - someone else rightfully pointed out that FISA courts weren't established with the Patriot Act - my bad, I was rushing and typing. FISA was expanded though with the Patriot Act to cover domestic targets, hence the Verizon/PRISM scandal. Apologies for any confusion.

All the more reason for anyone who has abstained from taking the magical mRNA to remain abstinent. You have zero recourse if injured.

Did any of these cases raise Constitutional issues about the scope of the PREP Act?

I think a right to be compensated for injury is a property right and as such under Amendment 5 it cannot be eliminated by the government without "just compensation". It's been many years since I read about this, but I recall that when Congress gave statutory immunity to nuclear plant operators, the constitutionality of this was upheld on the basis that Congress also provided for a robust and well funded compensation system. Similarly there was a pretty robust compensation system for claims resulting from the 9-11 terrorist attacks, and so the federal laws limiting damage claims for terrorist attacks were OK. The Prep Act compensation scheme therefore may have been included in part to make the liability limitation pass Constitutional scrutiny, but it seems in practice (and maybe by design) it is a fig leaf.

Also under Amendment 5, it is a violation to deprive someone of life, liberty or property without due process of law, so it seems to me that there should be a Constitutional issue as well for the Prep Act's being a shield for virtually any battery or "lack of informed consent" claims.

One day somebody is going to use his 2nd Amendment rights to reach an out of court settlement.

Sadly, I've begun hoping for that day to come...

This is completely evil. This act allow the mass medical experimentation of everyone. Congress needs to act on this.

This is obviously garbage and needs to be changed. Though anyone stupid enough to take a Covid test set themselves up for failure.

Can we even say to anyone anymore “this is a free country?” The balls on someone telling another “give the shot anyway” is pure evil.

I just told my 15 year old son to run as fast as he can if anyone ever comes at him with an injection and I am not present. Run, kid, run!!
