The PREP Act, a 2005 statute invoked by HHS Secretary Alex Azar at the onset of the pandemic, guarantees immunity “with respect to all claims caused by, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from the administration to or the use by an individual of a covered countermeasure,” including mRNA vaccines. 

In effect, this serves as a “get-out-of-jail free card for anyone connected with the Covid shots,” as Alex Berenson explains in his recent reporting. While Covid products earned Pfizer over $50 billion in 2022, the PREP Act bars Americans from suing from injuries or medical misconduct related to the broad definition of “covered countermeasures.”
