Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-09), has introduced H.R. 9828, known as the End the Vaccine Carveout Act. This bill aims to remove liability protections for vaccine manufacturers, which Gosar claims have led to significant profits for pharmaceutical companies while leaving many individuals without legal recourse for vaccine-related injuries.

Gosar stated, "Although federal bureaucrats and Big Pharma insist that vaccines are safe, there is an unfortunate lack of science regarding the safety of vaccines." He cited a 2012 review by the Institute of Medicine that found a high percentage of injuries potentially linked to vaccines and noted underreporting in government studies on vaccine injuries.

The congressman also referred to data from the Center for Disease Control’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, which he said reported nearly 20,000 deaths attributed to COVID-19 vaccines. According to Gosar, this rate is significantly higher than what is typically cited for dangerous vaccines.

Gosar criticized government scientists and bureaucrats for potential conflicts of interest due to their financial ties with pharmaceutical companies. He claimed these relationships compromise the impartiality of vaccine approvals and called for legislative changes to hold manufacturers accountable.

"My legislation strips away current immunity provisions unfairly shielding Big Pharma from the harms caused by their products," Gosar concluded.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Founder and Chairman of Children’s Health Defense on leave, supported the bill: "The four American vaccine makers are criminal enterprises that have paid tens of billions in criminal penalties over the past decade." He argued that removing liability shields would incentivize safer vaccine production.

Mary Holland, President of Children’s Health Defense, also endorsed the legislation: "For over 35 years, parents of children injured and killed by government-recommended vaccines have been left with no meaningful redress." She added that chronic health conditions in children have increased during this period and called for an end to what she described as Big Pharma's undue influence over government agencies.

The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NVCIA) passed in 1986 currently protects vaccine manufacturers from lawsuits unless plaintiffs can meet stringent requirements proving deliberate wrongdoing or gross negligence. Critics argue these standards are nearly impossible to satisfy.

The bill has garnered support from 30 cosponsors including Representatives Andy Biggs, Lauren Boebert, Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Thomas Massie among others. Outside groups such as American Family Project and React19 have also expressed their backing.
