I already know the answer. Nobody. I have no legal recourse to sue for getting ill due to the vaccine. I will wait for FDA approval with guidelines on known complications and make a responsible decision. If I am forced to get it I now have legal grounds to sue my employer and the drug company.
Pfizer and Moderna, the first two manufacturers to receive emergency use authorisation for their m-RNA Covid-19 vaccines, were granted immunity from liability by the US government. This protects them, until 2024, from lawsuits arising out of any foreseen and unintentional medical complications as a result of vaccination against Covid-19. Sovereign immunity also protects the US Food and Drug Administration; vaccine recipients cannot sue the FDA for approving the vaccine.
...
Under the HHS Declaration and its amendments, manufacturers and distributors that are covered, state and local governments that supervise the immunisation programme, and health professionals who administer the vaccine are immune from legal liability for losses due to administration of covered countermeasures against Covid-19.
...
Covid-19 vaccines are covered by the US Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP), under which individuals who die or suffer serious injuries directly caused by the administration of covered countermeasures may be eligible to receive compensation.
...
However, the bar for compensation under CCIP is very high, and compensation very rare. Since 2010, CICP has received 1,360 claim filings, of which only 29 claims were compensated, totalling over $6 million.
Ashley Cuttino, an attorney with Ogletree Deakins in Greenville, S.C., explained that an employer-mandated vaccine is considered a part of work. So under most state laws, an adverse reaction would be covered by workers' compensation.
Workers' compensation has been the employee's only recourse for other employer-required vaccinations, noted Helene Hechtkopf, an attorney with Hoguet Newman Regal & Kenney in New York City. "There is no reason to believe a COVID-19 vaccine would be treated differently," she said.
...
Additionally, the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act may provide employers immunity from claims related to side effects of a vaccine or other injury at the employer's vaccination site if the employer is considered a "program planner" that supervises or administers an onsite vaccination program.
At least nine people have become new billionaires since the beginning of the COVID pandemic, thanks to the excessive profits pharmaceutical corporations with monopolies on COVID vaccines are making, The People’s Vaccine Alliance revealed today ahead of a G20 leaders Global Health Summit....
Between them, the nine new billionaires, have a combined net wealth of $19.3 billion, enough to fully vaccinate all people in low-income countries 1.3 times. Meanwhile, these countries have received only 0.2 per cent of the global supply of vaccines, because of the massive shortfall in available doses, despite being home to 10 per cent of the world’s population.

The shaming of me for demanding the ability to sue for complications for a drug not approved by thr FDA I truly do not understand. Everyone should have this right. This is complete madness. Drug companies constantly get sued and pay settlements for complications to include death. Why am I being shamed for demanding this right?

Turning into a real pressure cooker out here. It seems people are angry but angry by and large at the wrong people. There are risks taking anything non approved. Why not wait until the risks are mitigated as much as possible and go with the known risk that chances of dying from covid are staggeringly low. Go with the known low risk. Do not go with the unknown risk. Never go with the unknown unless the other risk is staggeringly high of death...meh.
I firmly stand on the foundation of this reasoning. It is solid, rational and can't be shaken without knowing the unknown data.

How can anyone who questions the blatant lies and irrational propaganda regarding these jabs continue to believe the propaganda - or at least not start to question it - about 'regular' vaccines, when it all comes from the exact same people/entities?

I have no more sympathy for anyone who gets their medical advice from Tucker Carlson and some guy who sells pillows.
