4 | 4 | | HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION |
---|
5 | 5 | | WHEREAS, The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 |
---|
6 | 6 | | has allowed vaccine manufacturers to operate with impunity, |
---|
7 | 7 | | shielded from accountability, while American taxpayers ultimately |
---|
8 | 8 | | pay the price for injuries caused by their products; and |
---|
9 | 9 | | WHEREAS, The NCVIA has shielded vaccine manufacturers from |
---|
10 | 10 | | any and all liability for injuries and deaths resulting from the use |
---|
11 | 11 | | of their products; and |
---|
12 | 12 | | WHEREAS, Enacted on November 14, 1986, the NCVIA has |
---|
13 | 13 | | prevented millions of vaccine-injured individuals from having |
---|
14 | 14 | | their claims heard by a jury of their peers and has denied them |
---|
15 | 15 | | their state and federal constitutional rights of due process; and |
---|
16 | 16 | | WHEREAS, The NCVIA has caused disparities between vaccine |
---|
17 | 17 | | research, other forms of medical research, and the testing of |
---|
18 | 18 | | medical drugs; knowing that they are shielded from claims of |
---|
19 | 19 | | vaccine injury and death, vaccine manufacturers have no incentive |
---|
20 | 20 | | to test their products as rigorously as do manufacturers of other |
---|
21 | 21 | | medical drugs; now, therefore, be it |
---|
22 | 22 | | RESOLVED, That the 88th Legislature of the State of Texas |
---|
23 | 23 | | respectfully urge the United States Congress to repeal the National |
---|
24 | 24 | | Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986; and, be it further |
---|
25 | 25 | | RESOLVED, That the Texas secretary of state forward official |
---|
26 | 26 | | copies of this resolution to the president of the United States, to |
---|
27 | 27 | | the president of the Senate and the speaker of the House of |
---|
28 | 28 | | Representatives of the United States Congress, and to all the |
---|
29 | 29 | | members of the Texas delegation to Congress with the request that |
---|
30 | 30 | | this resolution be officially entered in the Congressional Record |
---|
31 | 31 | | as a memorial to the Congress of the United States of America. |
