Rejected petition Force liability to go back vaccine manufacturers

In the present situation if something goes wrong with vaccination, and injury occurs, crazily, manufacturers of the vaccines are not held liable and instead the governments are. This is a major thing that needs changing. This seeks for the government to undo that and make the manufacturers liable.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

The Vaccine Damage Payments Act 1979 established in the UK a statutory no-fault system of a single lump sum payment from public funds for cases of proven serious permanent disablement resulting from Government-approved vaccination.

The Vaccine Damage Payment scheme is not intended to be compensation and doesn't prevent a person from pursuing a claim against the manufacturer of the vaccine. You can read more about this here:
