Judge Denies AstraZeneca's Motion To Dismiss In Vaccine Injury Case
A federal law that grants broad legal immunity to vaccine manufacturers does not protect AstraZeneca against a breach of contract claim brought by a woman who was injured by the company’s vaccine, a U.S. judge ruled on Nov. 4.
The Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act protects manufacturers of vaccines during times of emergency, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
Brianne Dressen sued AstraZeneca for neglecting to, as promised in a contract, cover the costs of injuries she suffered after participating in the company’s clinical trial in 2020. The pharmaceutical company said it was immune from the lawsuit under the PREP Act.
U.S. District Judge Robert J. Shelby disagreed, ruling on Monday in favor of Dressen and denying AstraZeneca’s motion to dismiss.
While Dressen can’t sue over the injuries, she can over the breach of contract because the legal immunity granted by the law does not cover at least some contractual claims, Shelby said.
“The basis of Dressen’s claim is a broken promise, not a countermeasure,” he said, adding later: “Dressen was administered a covered countermeasure, and she was warned that she may suffer from an adverse reaction, but the fact that she suffered from such reaction was not sufficient to ripen her claim. Rather, she only has a claim because AstraZeneca made a contractual promise to her that happened to involve the effects of a covered countermeasure.”
AstraZeneca put forth a theory in legal filings that immunity from breach of contract claims helps encourage the quick development and deployment of countermeasures during health emergencies, which is the purpose of the PREP Act. Dressen’s lawyers argued enforcing contracts achieves the same result. The judge sided with the latter.
“If the PREP Act immunized deceptive contractual inducement and sanctioned illusory promises, then no one would agree to undertake the high-risk activities that are critical during public health emergency responses,” Shelby said. “The PREP Act drafters could not have intended to allow pharmaceutical companies to make illusory promises to clinical trial participants because doing so would erode public trust and undermine the ability to recruit willing participants, which in turn would erode and undermine pandemic preparedness.”
The judge used the example of AstraZeneca agreeing to pay $125 for time and travel reimbursements to Dressen per study visit during the clinical trial. “AstraZeneca’s theory of immunity would allow it to shirk this and any other promise made to trial participants merely because the promise ultimately relates to the administration or use of a vaccine,” he said.
Dressen, a preschool teacher in Utah, volunteered for the 2020 clinical trial. The consent form she signed said AstraZeneca would “cover the costs of research injuries” and “pay the costs of medical treatment.” After receiving the company’s shot, she suffered from a variety of injuries. U.S. National Institutes of Health doctors diagnosed her with vaccine side effects.
AstraZeneca largely declined to offer payment for treatment, beyond a final offer of $1,243, according to court documents.

Bannon Today: “Donald Trump Is a Nice Man, But WE Are Not. Roman Justice Is Coming”
Preach Brother!
So much has happened, so many crimes have been committed, so many lives destroyed, so much taxpayer money stolen or wasted, that THERE MUST BE JUSTICE.
The Left knows what they have done, they never thought that they would ever have to face the consequences for it.
Nut up, folks…
It is going to get rough.
These people will not just willing march themselves into the Prison Cells for what they have, they are going to have be dragged kicking and screaming to face the penalties.
There can be no unity until the criminals are rounded up and punished.

Zelensky warns deals with Putin to end Ukraine invasion would be 'suicidal' for Europe and blasts EU leaders for 'hugging' the Russian president
Kyiv is working to shore up support from allies following Donald Trump's victory
'We need sufficient weapons, not support in talks. Hugs with Putin won't help. Some of you have been hugging him for 20 years, and things are only getting worse,' Zelensky said.
'There has been much talk about the need to yield to Putin, to back down, to make some concessions,' Zelensky said.'It's unacceptable for Ukraine and suicidal for all Europe.'

With Donald Trump back in the White House, aside from perhaps some social policy, how much will change in America?
Two weeks ago, CEO of private equity behemoth BlackRock, Larry Fink, told a conference, “It really doesn’t matter” who wins the U.S. presidential election. Fink reiterated his point, saying, “We work with both administrations and are having conversations with both candidates”.
That’s now how things work, the all-powerful cartel of billionaires, private equity and investment banks in the U.S. don’t talk to the government and ask for things to get done; the government goes to them to be told what to do.
The world is in a new cold war with the U.S. on one side and China on the other, yes there’s an arms race but the key battleground is economic might and geopolitical influence. America remains the world’s overwhelming military power, but China is in the ascendancy in economic might; thanks to the growing success of BRICS, its position is becoming unassailable in geopolitical influence.
Those desperate for the U.S. to preserve its global hegemony sell this Cold War as being “communism versus capitalism”. Thanks to Western rhetoric extending back to the end of World War Two, it is very easy to sell the idea of communism bad and capitalism good.
But is capitalism all it’s cracked up to be? Is it good for Australia, so inextricably tied to the U.S., to be navigating major geopolitical challenges when corporate America reckons it doesn’t matter who’s running the world’s biggest capitalist nation?
The authoritative U.S. dictionary, Webster’s defines capitalism as “An economic system characterised by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market.”
Fink – “it doesn’t matter”
In simple terms, those with the capital—billionaires and corporations—run the U.S. government. Fink advanced this proposition succinctly by saying, “I’m tired of hearing this is the biggest election in your lifetime. The reality is over time, it doesn’t matter”.
One reason it doesn’t matter is the fact that those with capital can easily funnel it into the coffers of U.S. politicians in return for access and influence. Figures reported by Open Secrets show this year BlackRock made $US1.8 million in campaign contributions. Another $US2 million was spent on lobbying, a well-oiled revolving door with 32 of its 44 lobbyists having previously held positions in the U.S. government.
Then there’s the direct plug into the US government; Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Eric Van Nostrand was plucked from a senior role at BlackRock by Joe Biden’s Administration.
Another key figure, Mike Pyle, worked as a senior economic to the failed Kamala Harris 2020 primary campaign before his appointment as Deputy National Security Adviser for International Economics in the Biden Administration. Two months ago, he moved back to New York as deputy of a BlackRock group that has nearly $5 trillion in assets under management.
Pyle is a poster child for revolving doors. He worked for the Obama Administration before moving to BlackRock in 2014, then back to Washington DC in 2019, now sitting pretty at BlackRock to manage trillions of dollars in investments in the world’s largest economy run by a president his boss says doesn’t really matter.
Should Trump win the election, there are rumours swirling around that Fink might leave his post as BlackRock CEO to become Treasury Secretary. In July, Trump poured cold water on that suggestion, but for someone who changes position as often as Trump, that doesn’t necessarily mean Fink is not headed for Washington DC.
Last month, BlackRock announced its total assets under management reached $A17.6 trillion, up from $A13.9 trillion the previous year. Comparing this to global GDP, only the U.S. and China have economies larger than BlackRock’s assets; its assets are 6.4 times the value of Australia’s economy.
The fact that capital is running the U.S. has real impact on Australia, 25.1 percent of foreign investment in Australia comes from the U.S., by contrast China, our largest trading partner, accounts for a paltry 1.9 percent of foreign investment in Australia.
