The monoclonal products ought to be outside the whole vaccine system, because VAERS was set up as one of the conditions of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Compensation Act, right? So Beyfortus victims can sue through the regular state tort process, and adverse events should be in AERS/FAERS, not VAERS. I would think that, anyway. I mean, the whole thing (from NCVICA and from the Supreme Court in *Bruesewitz v Wyeth*) is that vaccines are "unavoidably unsafe." I don't think Congress or the court system has said that about other biologics, be they insulin, clotting factors, or mabs (for any indication). I could be wrong, though. Also, I get that this is a bit outside the point you were making, which is a good one.
Understood. It's a great point you are making that these monoclonal quasi-vaxxes should not be protected like all other vaccines. That's a crack in the armor attorney should go after. I'm sure there will be plenty opportunities already here and soon coming.
... and of course it's not automatic that a vaccine gets into the VICP schedule. It has to be part of the "Vaccines for Children" program, or else specifically noted in some weird federally-initiated way... and I think with the RSV products (be they "vaccines" or monoclonal antibodies used prophylactically), the ones that are specifically for oldsters are going to be pretty tough to put into a kids' program without raising some eyebrows. Even though the flu shot is given to old people, and those old people are barred by NCVICA from suing through the regular state tort process, the back door is that that same formulation is used for kids. (Idk about the weird high-dose ones... but you see what I'm saying: The oldster RSV products are not licensed for kids.) There are a few law firms in particular that I can think of, that have probably already filed some suits. I only wish there were a good way to make patients aware that they have some tiny little rights, but will lose them if they wait too long to talk to a lawyer.
The sad thing is, I know a lot of peeps who are more likely than not going to take this shale. As far as I can tell, they have no ears to hear, to eyes to read, no mind to question. And so it goes. Brace for the funerals.

You're an angel, Welcome the Eagle.

Good work!!
