Hello, my friends. Judge Napolitano here from Judging Freedom with What's On My Mind. Today, I'm going to answer a question, a very profound question sent in by one of you who goes by the name of Sir Mount. Sir, I don't know if you've actually been knighted by the Queen of England, but we'll call you by your moniker, Sir Mount. So my team and I love when you send us questions. And of course, it's easier for you and easier for us if you subscribe to Judging Freedom. You can do that on YouTube. And if you click on the button that will allow the tech world to send you notifications, then you'll know when these pop-ups are going to happen. The pop-ups have proven to be very friendly. I'm doing two, three, four, five of them a day.

Basically, when there's a great question presented to us, which I'll get to in a second, or when there's breaking news. And breaking news is coming. You know, we have three major trials that we're waiting for the results on the Jelaine Maxwell sex trafficking case, the female police officer Potter in Minnesota who killed somebody thinking she was using a taser, but she was using a gun. And for those who follow the financial world, the Elizabeth Holmes case, did she intentionally dupe her investors out of hundreds of millions of dollars to put together the now failed Theranos blood testing labs? Jurors are deliberating as we speak. Here's the question for today. This is a fascinating question and it affects every one of you and everybody should know about this.

Here's the question from my friend, Sir Mount. Apparently, there's a law that says vaccine manufacturers cannot be sued if someone is injured by their vaccine. Could you speak to that a little bit? And its purpose sounds like corporatism. Sir Mount, sir, you're 100% correct. Congress has enacted numerous pieces of legislation that give vaccine manufacturers immunity from the consequences of taking their vaccine. So if you get a J&J vaccine or a Moderna vaccine or a Pfizer vaccine and you have an adverse reaction, if your 96-year-old mother gets one and something happens to her, if a family member dies from the vaccine, can you sue the manufacturer? Answer, no. Now, this is morally wrong, there's a remedy. If the vaccine manufacturers have done something wrong or have put something into your body or a loved one's body that harms or kills them, there ought to be a remedy. And Congress is not

in the business of interfering with that remedy. Someone punches you in the nose, you have the right to punch them back. And then you have the right to sue them for the cost of repairing your nose. Someone puts a vaccine in your arm and you get sick, you have the right to sue them. These are moral rights. And they used to be legal rights

until Congress interfered with them. Sir Mount asks if this is corporatism. Of course it's corporatism. Corporatism is the government favoring certain capitalistic ventures by making it easy and inexpensive for these capitalistic groups to distribute their product. They didn't give immunity to Ford Motor Company or to Tesla or to General Motors. They gave immunity just to these three vaccine manufacturers. It's morally wrong, and Congress exceeded its power when it did so.

And wait until the lawsuits start coming. All right, my friends, an early Merry Christmas to you. We're watching three jury verdicts. We expect them to come up soon. Rest assured that wherever I am, I could be in the backseat of a car. I'm going to do this on my iPhone if I have to. You'll get my explanation of the law. From now till then, Merry Christmas.

Judge Napolitano, judging freedom.
