Explanation of Bill H.R. 9366

This bill, introduced by Mr. G. Ohmert in the House of Representatives, aims to amend titles III and XXI of the Public Health Service Act. The main purpose of the bill is to hold vaccine manufacturers liable for injuries caused by vaccines that are mandated by the government and for other purposes.

The bill specifies that the immunity from legal action for covered individuals, as stated in the Public Health Service Act, will not apply to vaccines licensed under specific sections of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act if they are mandated by any government agency at the federal or state level, or any entity receiving federal or state funding. In other words, vaccine manufacturers can be held liable for injuries resulting from mandatory vaccines.

The bill also addresses the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. It states that the prohibition against legal action, as stated in the Public Health Service Act, will not apply to vaccines licensed under specific sections of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act if they are mandated by any government agency or entity receiving federal or state funding. This means that individuals can pursue legal action for injuries resulting from mandatory vaccines.

The bill further amends the Vaccine Injury Table, which lists vaccines covered by the compensation program. It states that the Secretary of Health and Human Services cannot add a vaccine to the table if the vaccine is mandated by any government agency or entity receiving federal funding, and if the vaccine was administered without informed consent or without providing a religious or medical exemption when requested.

Overall, this bill seeks to make vaccine manufacturers liable for injuries caused by mandated vaccines, and to allow individuals to pursue legal action for injuries resulting from mandatory vaccines.
