This Bill Gives Drug Companies complete Immunity from prosecution for adverse effects from drugs, vaccines etc.
Before he was voted out of office in 2006, then-senator Bill Frist (R-TN), a physician, drove through a bill that gave drug companies more immunity than any bill ever passed by Congress. The legislation, referred to as “Division E” was tacked to a Defense appropriations bill during the final minutes of the congressional sessions before the Christmas recess. This bill provides at least four sweeping provisions:
1. Immunity from liability for all drugs, vaccines, or biological products deemed as a covered countermeasure against bioterrorism in the event of an outbreak of any kind. The proposal is not only limited to new drugs or vaccines developed under the umbrella of “bioterrorism” or “pandemic” protection. The proposal is so broad that it could include drugs like Tylenol, Advil…and would have applied to Vioxx.
2. Immunity for any product used for any public health emergency declared by the secretary of HHS. The authority to declare an emergency now rests completely in the hands of the secretary of HHS—an appointed, non-medical person who has no accountability to the general public. The president’s hand-picked person that is part of his inner circle will have the power to mandate vaccines and other medications given to the American people.
3. Immunity from accountability. No matter what a drug company does wrong, they are protected. Even if the company’s dirty facility created a batch of contaminated vaccines that resulted in death or injury to thousands of people, the drug company will not be held accountable.
4. Immunity from law suits. A person who suffers any type of loss will be prohibited from suing the drug companies. Vaccine manufacturers have immunity from almost everything, perhaps even murder. The bill provisions provide a mechanism for filing a lawsuit, but the language explicitly prevents frivolous suits by setting a standard for liability more rigid than any known standard of negligence.
In simple terms, if a claim is filed by a plaintiff it can go forward only if the injured party can prove that the company performed an act of “willful misconduct” resulting in an injury or a death. In other words, the injured party would have to prove the vaccine maker intentionally caused him harm.
Division-E goes even one step further. Unbelievably, even if a pharmaceutical company knowingly harms people, the company will be immune from legal prosecution unless the U.S. attorney general initiates “enforcement action” against the drug company in the name of the claimant. This means the U.S. government would have to go to bat for the injured party for the lawsuit to move forward, as unlikely as the current swine flu fiasco being an unplanned pandemic.

Federal Register Shows 1918 H1N1 Spanish Influenza Pandemic Virus was Reconstructed by Armed Forces Institute of Pathology
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 202 / Thursday, October 20, 2005

Quote from the document which is also shown below:
"Scientists...reconstructed the 1918 pandemic influenza virus by using
reverse genetics to study the properties associated with its extraordinary
virulence."
Here's some sections from the Document:
Possession, Use, and Transfer of Select Agents and Toxins—Reconstructed Replication Competent Forms of the 1918 Pandemic Influenza Virus Containing Any Portion of the Coding Regions of All Eight Gene Segments
AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Interim final rule.
SUMMARY: We are adding reconstructed replication competent forms of the 1918 pandemic influenza virus containing any portion of the coding regions of all eight gene segments to the list of HHS select agents and toxins. We are taking this action for several reasons. First the pandemic influenza virus of 1918–19 killed up to 50 million people worldwide, including an estimated 675,000 deaths in the United States.
Also, the complete coding sequence for the 1918 pandemic influenza A H1N1 virus was recently identified, which will make it possible for those with knowledge of reverse genetics to reconstruct this virus. In addition, the first published study on a reconstructed 1918 pandemic influenza virus demonstrated the high virulence of this virus in cell culture, embryonated eggs, and in mice relative to other human influenza viruses.
Therefore, we have determined that the reconstructed replication competent forms of the 1918 pandemic influenza virus containing any portion of the coding regions of all eight gene segments have the potential to pose a severe threat to public health and safety.
DATES: The interim final rule is effective on October 20, 2005. Written comments must be submitted on or before December 19, 2005.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The complete coding sequence for the 1918 pandemic influenza A H1N1 virus has been
recently identified (Taubenberger et al., 2005, Nature, vol. 437, pp. 889–893).
Scientists from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention together with
collaborators at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, NY, Armed Forces Institute of
Pathology, MD, and Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory, U.S. Department of
Agriculture, GA, reconstructed the 1918 pandemic influenza virus by using reverse
genetics to study the properties associated with its extraordinary virulence
(Tumpey et al., Characterization of the Reconstructed 1918 Spanish Influenza
Pandemic Virus, Science 2005 310: 77–80). With the publication of the complete
coding sequence, it will be possible for other scientists with knowledge of reverse
genetics technology to reconstruct the 1918 pandemic influenza virus at other institutions.

60 MINUTES, Sunday Nov 4, 1979
Mike Wallace talks to President Ford, Judy Roberts (injured by the 1976 swine flu vaccine, paralyzed similar to Gardasil injury) Dr. David Sencer and others about the Swine Flu vaccine of 1976. Note the admitted lack of safety and informed consent to the public, even as TV ads frightened
American citizens into getting a shot.
Think anything has changed today?
