Wait. Maybe I'm misinformed, but I believe all vaccine makers are immune from lawsuits. This started back in the 80s, and had nothing to do with COVID.

No, that’s not accurate. Any claims for vaccine related injuries are heard by the Office of Special Masters of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims.

But that applies to all vaccines since 1988, there was no special carve out for the COVID vaccines as far as I can see. Am I missing something?

Edit: evidently it's more complex than that. The COVID vaccines are covered under the 2005 Prep Act instead.
