A child in the first year of life received three injections, according to the CDC schedule, okay? Problem is, is that- And what were they? DTP, OPV, and MMR.
So one is DTP, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis. So that's one vaccine. OPV, which is oral polio vaccine. And then MMR is measles, mumps, rubella vaccine. So each of those are counting three different vaccines on the market, three separate products.

That was the state of play. That's it. And they were causing so much financial losses to the manufacturers of those three products.

Congress, in its wisdom, should have let them do what every other manufacturer does for every other product. You make a plane that falls out of the sky, make a better plane. You make a car that gas tank blows up, make a better car. You make a drug that's causing people to have all kinds of complications, make a better drug.

And so, you know, when you think about it, drugs don't have this immunity, but Congress passed the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, and that gave them immunity for any injuries from those three products, but not only those three products. any other routine childhood vaccine that came on the market thereafter.
