They silenced doctors who offered any early treatments that might compete with vaccines or who refused to pledge unquestioning faith in zero liability, shoddily tested, experimental vaccines.
The fact that any company, producing a product for profit, should be imdemnified from liability for any harm caused by that product is outrageous.
Removing liability creates a direct incentive to ship product at the earliest possible date regardless of what harm it may cause.
The company gets the profit. The taxpayers cover the risk, and the people forced to take the product or lose their livelihoods take the harm.
