There are 10 Similar Bills Proposed

Big Pharma needs protection. The proposal would allow drug companies to avoid being held accountable if their products cause injury or even death - even in cases of gross negligence it must be proven that the harm was intentional. The proposal would allow drug companies special protections not only for vaccines and drugs intended to combat pandemic flu, but also a broad range of drugs totally unrelated to a pandemic, including Tylenol, Advil and Vioxx. I've said it before - the bird flu talk is just the smoke to cover the coming thimerosal class action suit. There are at least TEN seperate bills which are seeking this change to law - S3, S975, S1437, S1828, S1873, S1880, HR650, HR3154, HR3970, HR4245.
If these bills pass there will be NO INCENTIVE for safety in medicines.
