小肯尼迪宣布，他将终止COVID-19疫苗制造商的紧急责任豁免

RFK Jr. Announces He's Ending Emergency Liability Protection For COVID-19 Vaccine Makers

疫苗制造商是否需要对人们接种疫苗后遭受的任何损害承担责任？

can vaccine manufacturers be held liable for any damages people sustain after getting a vaccine?

是的。大多数美国疫苗使用无过错疫苗伤害赔偿计划，限制对制造商的直接诉讼。COVID-19 疫苗根据与紧急声明相关的 PREP 法案享有额外的广泛豁免权。

小肯尼迪正在终止这些声明，从 2027 年 6 月起生效，结束制造商的特殊责任豁免保护。此后，如果证据证明疫苗导致特定损害，他们将面临诉讼。

这仍然需要在法庭上证明因果关系，并且因案件而异。

Yes. Most US vaccines use the no-fault Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, limiting direct lawsuits against makers. COVID-19 vaccines had extra broad immunity under the PREP Act tied to emergency declarations.

RFK Jr. is terminating those declarations, ending the special liability shield for manufacturers effective June 2027. After that, they can face lawsuits if evidence proves the vaccine caused specific damages.

It still requires proving causation in court and varies by case.
