Chip Roy unveils bill to let Americans sue COVID-19 vaccine makers over injury, negative effects

 Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, is unveiling a new bill on Tuesday that would allow Americans to sue COVID-19 vaccine makers over adverse health effects allegedly caused by the shot.

The Let Injured Americans Be Legally Empowered Act is aimed at wiping away COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers' statutory protections, opening them up to civil lawsuits.

A summary of the bill obtained by Fox News Digital said, "The LIABLE Act will allow Americans who took vaccines that were misleadingly promoted and forced onto many Americans via federal mandates to pursue civil litigation for their injuries. These vaccines were given emergency use authorization unilaterally and did not go through the normal FDA approval process." CDC RECOMMENDS ADDITIONAL COVID VACCINE FOR ADULTS 65 AND OVER Chip Roy Rep. Chip Roy is unveiling a new bill aimed at allowing people to sue over COVID-19 vaccine side effects.

"Many have faced injury from the vaccine, but few have been afforded recourse. To date, a mere 11 injury claims have been paid out despite nearly 700 million doses of the vaccine having been administered." ASK A HEALTH EXPERT: 'SHOULD I TAKE PAXLOVID IF I HAVE COVID?' Despite the public health emergency declaration for the COVID-19 pandemic expiring last May, PREP Act liability protections for the vaccine are expected to mostly last through the end of this year, according to a report by the Congressional Research Service.

Many of these cases still require further study, but it's a trend that's alarmed Republican lawmakers who have long said mandating the COVID-19 vaccine is a violation of Americans' right to privacy.

"COVID-19 has been a reminder of why we need safe and effective vaccines. All vaccines, including those for COVID-19, are subject to a rigorous safety and efficacy review process and post-market monitoring. By upending the existing liability framework manufacturers rely upon to provide predictable vaccine development, our ability to address future public health threats will be at risk," he said.

Roy has led the charge against those vaccine mandates, including leading efforts to roll back COVID-19 vaccine mandates in the U.S. military.
