Biden gives Pfizer and Moderna shield from being sued for Covid vaccine injuries and deaths until 2029

The outgoing Biden Administration has quietly extended a pandemic-era measure that protects Covid vaccine makers from being sued for injuries or deaths.
Officials at the Health and Human Services (HHS) say it's necessary because there is still 'a credible risk' the pandemic spirals out of control in the next four years, even though Covid deaths and hospital admissions are at historic lows.
The Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act was initially enacted in 2020, in part to encourage vaccine manufacturers to speed up their research of Covid vaccines without fear of being held legally responsible for things like side effects.
The extension, which had last been renewed in May 2023, also protects healthcare workers and hospitals who provide the shots from being sued.
This move could anger the incoming Trump administration, which has nominated prominent vaccine skeptic Robert F Kennedy Jr to head the HHS.

"The outgoing Biden Administration has quietly extended a pandemic-era measure that protects Covid vaccine makers from being sued for injuries or deaths."
Can such an "extension" be revoked by the new administration, or perhaps "re-issued" with an earlier date or weakened "protections" ??

Anyone seeking to obtain the EXPERIMENTAL COVID VACCINE in its many forms with the information available today has a few screws loose.
