      Bloody hell. It's antivax Bingo from @RepStickland, and he's not even spewing challenging antivax complaints about vaccines.https://twitter.com/repstickland/status/1125836671688294400 …

      Then you disagree with the warning label required by the CDC on every vaccine? You aren’t afraid of lifting immunity from lawsuits to manufacturers?

      And, no, vaccine manufacturers are not free from liability. It's just that product liability complaints have to go through the Vaccine Court first. If the complainants lose, federal court is still an option.

      Of course, federal courts don't pay plaintiffs' legal expenses even if they lose, the way Vaccine Court does, nor are they as generous in allowing unproven "theories of causation" and testimony from dubious antivax " experts."

      Really, the only reason antivaxers push for elimination of the Vaccine Court is that their lawyers don't like guaranteed hourly charges arguing cases before the Vaccine Court. They want to roll the dice and try to get big payoffs in federal courts—and huge contingency fees.

      The odds, of course, are long, but maybe a couple of them might pull it off. Too bad, so sad for everyone else other than the lawyers and a handful of parents at most.

      Seriously, @RepStickland, you should stop now. You're really not very good at the antivax talking points, as you're picking some of the dumbest ones and the easiest to debunk. At this point, you're just embarrassing yourself and Texas.😂

      Oh, hell. Now @RepStickland is describing vaccines as "sorcery." I guess they are to him, the same way an automobile would have been sorcery to a peasant a thousand years ago.https://twitter.com/repstickland/status/1125830765961457664 …

      Make the case for your sorcery to consumers on your own dime. Like every other business. Quit using the heavy hand of government to make your business profitable through mandates and immunity. It’s disgusting.
